    D&D 5E Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws

    I ignore the section completely when writing up my own characters. It's just wasted pages in my book. If it's a throw away character - for example I'm playing in a one-shot or some pointless generic grind/delve like DotMM - then it simply won't be important in my experience. If it's not a...

    D&D 5E Tasha's Cauldron of Everything = 2e Skills & Powers

    Lord I hope it's not like Skills & Powers....

    D&D 5E Question before Curse of Strahd

    Shadow Rider? I don't get it. Why wouldn't you just post the name vs beat around the bush? Anyways, as to the usefulness of the feat.... Maybe. There's definitely areas where you might be able to set up a mounted combat. Of course my opinion is that you should come up with a cool character...

    D&D 5E What is up with the popularity of watching other D&D groups play the game?

    Has it occurred to you that merely "Getting Stuff Done" isn't a groups primary motivation? Or that they are getting something done but it's not what you'd deem important, or being done at the pace you'd prefer? Believe me, if you sat in on one of our games? Most sessions you'd likely say* that...

    WotC Gale Force 9 Sues WotC [Updated]

    Eh, the WoTC minis aren't much of a loss. WK does an infinitely better job than Wizards ever did.

    Boardgame Frustration

    Lol, I know what you mean. The group I play boardgames with has an almost joking name for some of these things: "Space games" - as in you need SPACE to even play them.... They even tend to take up considerable storage space due to all the 3d bits & expansions. Txt: What're you up to Fri?"...

    D&D 5E Spell Versatility is GONE. Rejoice!

    Yeah, it's like they completely don't get it. This is D&D, if your group decides somethings "in"? Then it's in. Doesn't matter what WoTC says on the subject.

    OD&D Favorite PC you have ever played?

    My favorite would be Bree Burrfoot - my 5e 1/2ling Warlock (fey patron, chain pact) & her pseudo-dragon familiar "Scales". Initially she was created as an NPC quest-giver in the 1st adventure arc of the 1st 5e campaign I ran. So, while she had some background, she didn't really have stats...

    Campaign Concepts You've Got On Deck

    1) Tomb of Anillation - i was just beginning to prep this one, complete with changes/improvements based on the 1st time i ran it, for my Sunday group. And then the group imploded. And since I ran it for most of the thur group.... It'll be a long time before I get to run this again. 2) a bounty...

    OD&D [BECMI/BX] Natural healing?

    We just did it per the book. But it was decades ago & I honestly don't remember what that was for BX/BECMi. I don't recall any houserules for it though. So if you say it was d3/day then that's what we'd have done.

    Cleric Won't Heal?

    No, I think it'd be being willfully stupid. You were told how this was going to go. What, you didn't believe them? You didn't belive them the 2nd. 3rd. 4th. 5th etc times you asked?

    D&D General Do you allow "crossplaying" at your table? Has it ever caused problems?

    Its not ever been an issue with my groups. The only issue has been that one of the players who has close to a 50/50 mix of m/fm characters plays them all so blandly that its often hard to remember what they are. This BTW is not his intent. So in this case its a problem storytelling wise....

    D&D 5E How to have a constructive conversation with players?

    Well, you could just.... talk to them. Ask them if they're having fun. Are they enjoying the adventure? Do they like how you're DMing? Is there anything they think should change - story/mechanics/characters/etc?

    D&D 5E How Would You Do This Concept?

    Probably a trap/hazard. Kinda like encountering green slime & such. Probably need to come up with a reason/mechanism how its targets (prey?) Are selected. And how to reprogram it. I'm envisioning something like a venus flytrap who's prey is "flyers larger than x". So dragon flies near...

    D&D 5E Sometimes, the dice gods let one roll determine the outcome of an entire campaign

    No, not in mine. In mine even "I search the room (rolls)" doesn't work. Let alone the persuasion roll to end the whole campaign....

    D&D 5E Sometimes, the dice gods let one roll determine the outcome of an entire campaign

    Thats it? Thats all it takes to "win" this adventure?? A single persuasion roll? Whats the DC? Step 1) Make it to BBEG Step 2) roll high on a single persuasion roll (role playing optional - i mean how often have we heard players say something like "i try & persuade them", or "I search"?) So...
