So I was playing a Thief that used a Whip (no Prof) and for the first 4 lvls it was going really bad. I'd try to swing over a pit with the Whip and i'd roll a Whip attack with no prof and fail. I'd use my Attack to Disarm and id roll (Whip attack vs. Athletics/Acrobatics) and fail. I was failing...

D&D has just as many parodies and knock-offs, so if a Telltale D&D is a parody then it should exist D&D is only partly based on it's rules. Characters play a big part in D&D, Elminster, Dritzzt, Misc, Tiamat, I've never come across any of them in a session but I know who they are because...

Ya it's really curious how not only do individual people have different thresholds but also how some genres/IPs are given different amounts of leeway. I'ts funny that you mention football and golf tho because there is a game called Bloodbowl that is a football game but each team is a different...

Yow know I'm not even sure If the issue is even the length in and of itself. It might have just as much to do with the Action/Adventure RPG genre. Plus there are lots of Gamers that don't play RPG video games, who prefer a good story over fighting mechanics, they deserve a D&D game as much as...

Just to be clear, I didn't mean to imply that in order for D&D to make a good game they need to ignore the mechanics. It's very obvious that they have made good games in the past using D&D mechanics, and people very much want more D&D games with the mechanics. I was just trying to say maybe...

Well not exactly. The Fighter will still have the higher Attack and Damage Mod because it will always be his primary stat, and he will always have a higher AC, and he always has more HP. Plus the fighter has the option to pull out a Greatsword, which the Wizard Elf won't. But your right that...

Why make it a Feat at all? For the most part characters have their first two ASIs spoken for, it's usually at least one stat bump and one Feat, which means a lot of characters won't be able to come around to your Racial Weapon Feat untill 12th level. Or they'll have to push back their intended...

I think your right that it would have some of the same hurdles as the movies, mainly the script and acting. If the script of the interactive video game is as bad as the movies then the game is dead in the water. But the game wouldn't have hollywood executives picking and changing the script to...

It's understandable to want the D&D video game to be similar to the D&D table top game. It's even logical, D&D already has stats and HP and levels and classes, so why not just port it to a video game. But I think the problem is that it leads to a rabbit hole, a very complicated and expensive...

My first thought was to just have a Final Fantasy Tactics style game, or even better the new Project Octopath 2D-HD style (or whatever they're calling it). A Turn-Based RPG with classes. But maybe it's time to go at a D&D video game from a different angle, maybe the "RPG" is a pitfall that we...

I don't think GWM and PM would be sky blue for a rogue. GWM doesn't work the same way for Rogues the way it does Fighters. The -5/+10 does more harm then good because Rogues only get one attack and because Sneak Attack is more important the +10 damage. It's the same thing with Sharpshooter and...

I think Force Over Finesse is too cluttered and weird. Keep it simple, You want this rogue to not be limited to finesse then just say "sneak attack doesn't require finesse." I don't agree with the second bullet point, the whole versatile or two-handed thing, it feels like it narrows your...

Maybe have the 'evil band of renegade drow' be all-female...hint hint

Riffing off Quickleaf; Maybe have the party at an Inn/Bar and a peasant bust in asking for help from an 'evil band of renegade drow.' of course the PCs take the quest. But have Tholzar be in the bar/inn with them and he offers to go along and help, because killing renegades is his whole jam...

I think starting all Skills at -2 and getting a 30+ skill point is way too fiddly. I think I get what your going for so this is my suggestion; ---Have all Skills start at 0 This cuts down on the amount of Skill Points you need to give out. Instead of making 30+ mini-micro Skill choices. You'll...

Maybe you can invert the curse in your campaign. Essential the adventure is about changing the status quo; you are able to resurrect people and now you can't. So for your campaign it's; you can't resurrect people and now you can. Maybe, people that are brought back have the Withering Curse...

Maybe the party is given a special Artifact by the Quest Giver. It'll keeps the Soulmonger at bay for a little while and allows you to bring a party member back to life without any ill effect. It can even be like 5 special rings that the party wears so it only works on them, and if you want it...

I think it's fine to let mage hand throw things around without it needing to make a check, especially if its out of combat. for example, mage hand grabs a battle axe and throws it to the fighter, who catches it in mid-air. If its out of combat, let it happen. If its in combat and for whatever...

Nathan Stewart the Senior Director of D&D has already confirmed that they will be doing other settings. It was during one the last Fireside Chat on Twitch. I don't know if they will do ALL of the other settings but during his answer he does mention Ebberon, Spelljammer, Greyhawk, and I think...
