I made the world more out of fun, something to do when I had a lot of free time. The players I was working with were close friends and there was literally no way to start them faster. They just wouldn't work on the characters, wouldn't ask questions, or let me give them advice or help in any...

Yeah the good DMs I have played with all said the same thing about not being able to be a player for so long. I mostly use roll20 so I'm used to playing with complete strangers a lot. If I did DM for a long time I'd probably just go on there and find a game as a player like I have been doing...

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate it. All of the advice here has been really helpful.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it! Right now, my current group (which is online) I think is done playing. There are 3 players (had quite a few join and leave) and a DM. The DM had a surgery done and we haven't heard from him for a month and so I think we may just be splitting up if we...

I've been thinking about DMing for a few years now. I've even created my own world, putting bits and pieces together over time when ideas strike me. My problem is. I REALLY love being a player. I do. I'm extremely worried that I'll start it and not have fun and may force myself to keep doing it...

So here's the thing... Dwarves exist... and also... This exists. http://engl393-dnd5th.wikia.com/wiki/Protection_from_Poison Are Dwarves overpowered now? Also I rewrote the description of the natural armor if you want to take a look.

Yeah I actually just rewrote the description of it and saved it so that it makes more sense. I'm struggling with it a small bit myself. At first I did give them 13 + dex, but someone suggested replicating Barkskin and thought it sounded great (at least thematically) and the numbers worked out in...

I just made a long response to the natural armor thing if you would like to check it out :) Hmm choosing animal languages huh? I did consider working it in such a way that "You can communicate with plants and animals as though you shared a language" would that be more of what you mean? So with...

I've had a few people elsewhere comment on this and once I explain it more clearly they tend to agree with me. This is leading me to rewrite the ability to better represent what it is supposed to be. I know the whole "free 2nd level spell" aspect seems a bit intimidating but allow me to explain...

That would actually be pretty great. I was a bit worried that it would be too strong if I didn't use some sort of movement, but then it would compare more to Fey Step from the Eladrin but it would be dependent on large trees being near by.

That sounds like it would make an awesome story. I would love to see that happen. On another note, if the player didn't just want to all the sudden... wings... They could also explain it similarly to this: They are already divinely favored creatures, weather you are playing them as a cleric...

I could see it working under the right circumstances to be honest. I mean the monks get unarmored defense which uses wisdom to up their armor class. I believe this could be explained by they are so perceptive of the battle field and always so aware of their surroundings that they see attacks...

I really like this breakdown of it. But we can't forget that this is if your campaign doesn't do any magic damage or things of that nature. Level 8 + you really start getting involved with more magical enemies (generally speaking) and it would make HAM even less effective than Toughness...

I sat down today and made a homebrew Dryad race: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LFwCzSj3lpPP7dwVn4O This is my first homebrew and I am pretty proud of it. I love the theme of a magical Oaken Warrior race and thought it would make a cool project. I had a few people give me advice so far and I...

I didn't say the stories were bad, I was saying people don't usually accept them unless they already have a following and are proven to be a reliable company.
