It was confirmed for me when I watched Episode 6 lol. That Eye is full of rage. I loved the closing shot.

I have a question about When A Star Falls. This is just my ignorance from never having played a hexcrawl before. The hex map for the module has some artwork for each key location, including obvious smoke rising from settlements. The characters receive a "crudely drawn" version of the region...

I killed a monster with a Toll the Dead cantrip that did somewhere around 6 damage. That was when the DM struck, I think because my cleric never gets a killshot, and he asked, "How does it die?" There were some stages to my response, starting with panic. Then I considered the spell description...

Well now I know the name of the thing that causes my DM to ask annoying questions like, "You got a critical hit, what fancy extra thing does your attack do?" One time he asked me to describe how my attack killed a monster and the results caused another player to leave the game. Luckily I don't...

Later this month I am DMing for the first time with Infinite Staircase and the 2024 rules. I will let you know my thoughts in...a few months? :D Also TessaPresents made a bunch of maps related to the Staircase itself - Everything: Quests from the Infinite Staircase - Google Drive Examples...

When will the PDF be available for purchase outside of Kickstarter?

Oh yeah, I did not mean to suggest anything about the quality of the game. I was more looking at that title question and the game's prospects- Does anyone care? Well my DM certainly doesn't. And that to me is really strange, because he loves ttrpgs and he loves Sanderson books. So something...

This year I decided to DM my first ever campaign. I chose the Dragonlance setting, which is a setting with I think over a hundred books? All of which I have never read. It took me about 2 months to wrap my head around what I wanted the setting to contribute to the actual campaign (Quests From...

RE: #1 - You can look at Guardian of Faith for an example of a spectral entity/effect that occupies its space. Conjure Animals does not include the text that Guardian does about occupying its space.

I think you've got it, re: cosmetic. It means you have a tail but you don't get an extra ability for it. You can make an unarmed strike with any part of your body I suppose (ska-doosh), but having a tail would not give you extra reach or damage, like you said. You can still include your tail in...

To play Dragonlance with the 2024 PHB and all its species options (I didn't want to eliminate any when the options are currently so few!), I considered the lore of draconians, who as already mentioned up-thread have both tails and wings. But draconians also have features that might not be...

Thank you so much for this. I've been searching for dragonriding and aerial combat mechanics I could use for a sequence in a Dragonlance campaign. I was really eager to see another source looked over! It's interesting that the authors felt the need to do so much more beyond that in this case...

I don't have a full comparison but I think it's important to understand the different goals of these services. DnDB+Maps lets you manage the campaign (character creation, awarding items, combat encounters) entirely within the site- the only significant exclusion that comes to mind is the DM...

If your players have also played BG3 they might enjoy references to the prominent gods in the game. Alternately, if you want to make the gods your own and you don't want preconceptions, maybe these are some to avoid: Dead Three (Bane/Baal/Myrkul) - the villains Mystra - featured in Gale's...
