    D&D 5E 5E economics -The Peasants are revolting!

    I'll also note that low-skill wage used to be 1 sp in D&D. Perhaps the much feared hero-driven inflation has finally happened - you just can't hire a local yokel for a sp these days. They want TWO silvers!

    D&D 5E 5E economics -The Peasants are revolting!

    Hey, just because peasants can't spend a lot of money on fancy clothes and beauty treatment doesn't mean you get to call them revolting!

    D&D General Ultimate D&D Post 5E

    I think it's pretty well documented that I've already made the best 5e post. No need to try so hard @Zardnaar ! https://www.enworld.org/threads/move-over-fireball-and-spirit-guardians-there-is-a-new-best-3rd-level-spell-sheriff-in-town.601209/

    Yes, thank you to all of you with legal knowledge helping us understand (vs speculating) the proceedings. It's very appreciated!

    D&D General Arcane trickster vs soulknife

    I can't answer the question exactly, but I can tell you this: In our drakkenheim game, our rogue is a soulknife and it is tremendously useful

    D&D 5E ALL BEAST MASTERS HELP ME

    This isn't really help for your question, but it could help "in general" and thus help your companion. Are you using the beastmaster from the PHB, or from Tasha's? Lastly, it ... kinda sucks, but every hit your brave mount takes is a hit that you or your fellow PCs didn't have to take...

    D&D General D&D as a Game- On the Origin of Hit Points and Start of the Meat Debate

    The way "hp" (wounds) in warhammer can actually be "useful" to think about Something that can be quite fast is Troika! or other systems, where the attack roll is a contest -whoever wins hits the other. This can lead to scenes where a high skill swordsman is attacked by a bunch of goblins and...

    D&D General D&D as a Game- On the Origin of Hit Points and Start of the Meat Debate

    Ultimately, that's why I stick with AC/HP. Warhammer frpg 2nd ed is much more realistic than D&D. People dodge, parry blows, and armor reduces damage. But it takes much longer to resolve a single attack. Is the realism worth it? I used to think so, but now I'm not so sure. I'll also...

    D&D General Allegations of AI Usage Cause unnecessary Controversy

    I don't know him very well, (I've watched maybe 10 of his videos over the years, tops?) but from the gut feeling I got about the guy, I'm not surprised at all that he's apologizing when he messed up like that. Will he learn his lesson? Can he recover from it? We'll see I guess.

    D&D General Does D&D (and RPGs in general) Need Edition Resets?

    See, I've somewhat recently run several old 2e adventures I first ran back in the 2e era. I converted them to 5e - some entirely by myself, some with the assistance of other people's conversions. Could I convert old magic card to make them fit the current meta? It would be much, much more...

    D&D General Allegations of AI Usage Cause unnecessary Controversy

    an Adze is not an axe. It's a somewhat similar, but different tool. If you don't know what you are looking at, it makes it hard to tell if it's done "right" or in the strangely wrong way some AI art is....

    D&D General D&D Loyalty?

    I mean D&D is a "lifestyle" - buuuuut that doesn't mean I want buy D&D mugs or something - WotC is deluding themselves as to what the lifestyle means - it means we spend a lot of time playing D&D and arguing about D&D on the internet :D

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    There has been a fair amount of griping about mediocre WotC adventures published for 5e lately. It's good to remind ourselves that well, art is hard, and bad adventures is not an entirely new phenomena. Or that while short adventures are easier to design IMO, it doesn't guarantee success.

    Has Anyone Statted the Tatzelwurm?

    Thank you for replying. "thread necromancy" is a strange phenomenon, and some insight on how it happened is always nice :)

    D&D General D&D Loyalty?

    I love ttRPGs. I've been playing them, almost continuously, for almost 35 years now. I'm also a fan of D&D. I guestimate that about 50% of my ttRPGing has been a form of D&D. Fan of Hasbro?... not so much.

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    well that was convincing! Could that elaborate backstory be because this module was suppose to launch a campaign (but the follow up were never published because the first module was bad)? (edit: quick research indicates this is unlikely... so I'm baffled why to write this big thing?) I also...
