    D&D 5E What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    I'd have him be a strange visitor from the far away & hitherto unknown Galapagos Islands. :)

    D&D 5E What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Yeah, but did you ban them for being "meh"? Or is it just the players opting not to use them because A) the Variant offers a feat, B) there's other things to play than Humans? In my current game? One of the players surprised me. He chose the base Human specifically because it added +1 to...

    D&D 5E What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Well that's a weird reason to say no to them as a DM. I mean, a stock DB has slightly more going for it than the standard human mechanically. And you don't so no the Humans do you? And now with Tasha's (haven't read it yet myself btw) I'm sure there's some way to tinker with the DB. I think...

    To be fair most people didn't read 4e....

    D&D 5E What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Why would I play one of the weird anthro types? *Probably because I've got a cool mini for it. *Sometimes I've got a good idea for one. *Sometimes there's an opening based upon how plays gone to introduce such a character. So ill run the idea past the DM & the group. I DM alot so I'm not going...

    Star Trek TNG How to Watch?

    Ok, Tasha Yar got killed off.... No loss & if you're skipping season 1 you'd never know. And when you get to "Yesterdays Enterprise" her return (& exit) won't mean much. Oh no, NPC plot device characters come from, & return to, the past where they get killed by aliens. Of course I'm also...

    Boardgame Frustration

    Too bad this didn't fund: OverBattle: The All War (Canceled) Says it's 6' long set up & box weighs 20lbs.... I have pics of it from GenCon about somewhere.

    Star Trek TNG How to Watch?

    How to watch? About 5 episodes/week, in your favorite seat, in your sweat pants with snacks. Where to start watching? About season 3+ And like others have said: If you don't like an episode after about 10 minutes skip to the next one. (spoiler: it always works out OK for the crew). Once...

    Getting rid of those pesky forest squatters

    Well they did do a fair amount of terrible things, in terrible ways.... Sure, as Hollywood villains they might be a bit exaggerated, cliched, & stereotyped - but there's still truth fueling that. Game-wise? Because our gaming is largely referencing Hollywood/other media.

    D&D General what's your favorite starting town?

    I think my favorite start point is The Downs, the small farming community on the edge of The Olde Wood, from module N2 The Forest Oracle. Or rather a small inn (one of the encounter areas) a ways down the road.... Why? Because even though N2 is a complete trainwreck of awful writing (really...

    D&D General what's your favorite starting town?

    That'd make for a great start! Really get to know all the NPCs, areas, etc etc etc PCs return from an adventure & discover that while they were out someone bought the old House out on Gryphon Hill. Soon Vistani start trucking in shipments of weird equipment. Then they meet that nice young...

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    What?? No. The easiest crossover is is to do exactly what they did. Something they should've done around 20 years ago. Take a popular MTG setting and apply D&D rules to it. And MTG already has Planeswalkers built right into it. So to cross over to other worlds - be they MTG settings, D&D...

    D&D 5E What kind of warlocks would a Wizard Guild make?

    My 1st thought was more along the lines of students, under great pressure & the facing the disgrace of failure, cheat. Of course several "patrons" are well aware of the Academy & its pressures and view this as a prime recruiting ground....

    OD&D Favorite PC you have ever played?

    Thanks. Since you spent multiple breaks, I hope you were entertained.

    D&D 5E Question before Curse of Strahd

    Oh I can envision doing that. Done it in a few games, seen it/similar done in any # of action movies. Realistic?? Maybe not, but then some of Castle Ravenloft's architecture lies in the realm of fantasy anyways. So no harm in describing halls & corridors large enough to accommodate. Stairs...

    D&D 5E New Character Decisions

    I'd make Bard. Definitely a Bard. Why? Because it's one of my favorite classes no matter the edition. Though believe it or not, not one I've gotten around to playing yet in 5e. :( (I DM 5e far more than I get to play it) So if it seemed a Bard would fit the campaign.... 1/2orc or...
