The Mountain, in life known as Ser Gregor Clegane.

Oooh, I would love to see Page as a fiend warlock of Graz'zt. Dressed in a revealing outfit that flaunts his physique. You know Graz'zt would be like I must have that young man's body and soul.

I'd say Misty Vale, my half-elf Divine Soul Sorcerer X/Life Cleric of Selune 1. On the surface she seemed like a charming but bubbleheaded wimp spouting hippy cliches. But appearances were deceiving. She was much tougher and more insightful than she looked. Strength 6 Dexterity 14...

I'd say some of the longstanding sacred cows that 5E has been slowly edging away from would be flat gone. The game would have full-on embraced contemporary RPG conventions. --I think the XP system would be gone and the D&D would be some sort of milestone experience gain. --All character...

This makes me wish there was a Cheesecake Factory in this godforsaken town and COVID-19 was over so I could eat there without worrying ... Anyway, with regards to the popularity of 5E, I think there are several things. Some of which agree with The Cheesecake Factory theory. --Name/Brand...

Dwarven society is often portrayed as hidebound. So what happens to the dwarf whose nature falls outside of society's convention? The rigidity of their society actually presents compelling opportunities for "outsider" stories. I have played upon this idea with past PCs.

I am a dedicated caster player and try to optimize. In 5E, Hill Dwarves are one of my go-to races. And when I play a dwarf cleric I know I will be a hardy caster, not some wimpy wimpy elf. HA! I have often tried to portray my dwarven characters as more cultured than they are stereotypically...

It is a positive sign they got an A-list actor attached to this. In years past we would be scrounging the bottom of the B-list and starting to go over the C-list, lol. Fortunately, memories of that Movie Which Shall Not Be Named have faded. Pine is experienced in action, science fiction and...

If a PC misses 50%+ of their attacks during a combat -- "Failure is such a turnoff." If a male PC misses 50%+ of his attacks during a combat -- rolls her eyes "Impotent." When a PC kills someone -- licks her lips "mmmmm ... sexy." When a PC kills someone in a spectacularly bloody fashion --...

The only place kender belong is on the dining table of ravenous nalfeshnee demons.

In 5E I have found character death to be rare. In the large majority of campaigns it never happens. But there have been a few. That is contrast from the old days. In 3.X character death was somewhat more common. In 2E it was considerably more common. In 1E characters might as well have...
