As I like to say… D&D is a different game with each DM. So I’ve played a few different kinds of D&Ds given that I’ve played with various DMs, including myself. This is totally anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt, but I’ve played at a bunch of tables, including some that had (out-game)...

Bingo! It should be rated PG-13 (or 18 or whatever age the members of the Donner party had I guess :ROFLMAO: ...) and not dilute it. For what it's worth, I think there could be many very interesting campaign settings with mature themes. For example, historically inspired settings. Playing the...

Hi @ScavieFae, This is pretty cool! I assume you do know of the other already-existing websites that make the SRD browsable, right? For example: http://dnd2024.wikidot.com/ might be the most complete (including splatbooks). Dungeons & Dragons 5e » Dungeons & Dragons - D&D 5e seems not as...

If cannibalism was not ok, then the Donner party should have starved… but they didn’t, and neither should halflings!

Isn’t that an implicit problem for like, 90% of the monster manual 🤣 …? "Let the one who never kicked in the door roll the first initiative die…" 🥲

What is the problem with Gruumsh now? I missed that memo.

Sure, that’s fine, and I’m sure Tareks came into play in some people’s campaigns. They never did in the various DS campaigns I DMed across 2e and 3.5e because I never heard of them until your post. I must not have read the "right" book/page, though I did consume a bunch of DS content over the...

Honestly, I think it may be fine if they just put out a generic splatbook with a bunch of subclasses, including those we’ve seen from the apocalypse themed UA and maybe a few more… and call it a day. Those who know what they’re for likely already have or know where to get the relevant fluff. As...

That is correct AFAIK. Only evidence of mating.

It must feel very different. Interesting though!

For sure. But that is kind of a by-product of there being no other intelligent humanoids on this Earth (and as far as I know we can’t mate with octopi). Although even that is controversial, since there appears to be evidence that homo sapiens interbred with neanderthals. We then killed them all...

Wow that’s cool, I hadn’t seen those flasks before. Makes me think of Asterix’s invincible strength gourd that he carries at his belt and never seems to dry up for the whole adventure 🤣

I’ve been thinking of an alternative scheme, though I’m not sure that it could be viable as a lightweight tweak. Rather, it may require changing all the classes, which is probably too much work, but anyway 😅 … The general idea would be to do some kind of intermediary system between 3.5e and 5e...

Well… if you were the DM of a game with such multi-ethnic character creation rules, and you thought it was too powerful, or cheesy, or whatever reason for disliking it, there would be a pretty easy solution… Just say that in your campaign world, the tyrannical forces that lead each nations are...

Keying some abilities off of being bloodied in 4e was a neat way to do that… though I haven’t come across this yet in 5e (are there any cases?) In terms of risk/rewards for resting vs pushing forward… the "deadline to save the world" trope is a pretty decent one I think, and feels more organic...
