    D&D General Goblins Eat Pickles???

    The very first Paizo AP, in the first book (Rise of the Rune Lords: Burnt Offerings - book 1 of 6), it had an encounter where the goblins were eating pickles stolen from the pantry within their lair. Back then, Paizo products were written for 3.5 D&D.

    D&D 5E XP for Absent Players

    Yeah, I don't give XP for missed sessions. And I will never understand all this non-sense about "missing a session is its own punishment". But whatever... YMMV and all of that. I run 2nd edition AD&D games. This is what XP is in a 2nd edition AD&D game: This is of course in addition to XP...

    D&D (2024) D&D 6th edition - What do you want to see?

    This was one of the myriad of reasons why I did not convert to 4th edition from 3rd edition (as well as a part in why I abandoned Pathfinder RPG). But instead of sticking with 3rd edition, I went back to 2nd edition AD&D. :geek:

    D&D 5E Roman Campaign needs

    Yeah, it doesn't look like you'll find anything 5th edition specific. So you'll have to work with converting older edition stuff... Which seems to be somewhat plentiful. :) 3rd edition had two interesting settings from Green Ronin (in their Mythic Vistas line): 1. Testament (while not laser...

    D&D General Has online play changed your DM style?

    I absolutely continue to use handouts... Using appropriate backgrounds (parchment, sail-cloth, wood, stone, etc.) as needed. I was just saying that my style of DMing only changed in that my handouts are now electronic, rather than physical. ;)

    D&D General Has online play changed your DM style?

    The biggest change is that I am not able to use physical handouts... For example, drawing "treasure maps" in charcoal on "duck-cloth" to represent canvas/sail cloth, or hand-written letters on real parchment, etc.

    D&D 5E WotC's Kate Welch Hints at Celebrity-Written 2020 Adventure Book

    Oh, well in that case... Digitalelf looks from side to side to see if anybody is listening in "I heard that it will be a book of adventures similar to "WG7: Castle Greyhawk" where each author is given a single level in a mega-dungeon to write. It'll be Awesome!" :cool:

    D&D General How Long Does It Take to get Sick of an Edition?

    Indeed, I can continue to use 2nd edition well into my retirement years and still have not used everything. I like mixing Hackmaster into 2nd editon every now and then as well. :cool:

    D&D General Yoga & trivia profs?

    I would think so... I would rule that it provides at least a +1 "synergy bonus" (yeah, I know, that's a 3e term, but it works :p). It could be used in conjunction with Undead Knowledge and Monster Identification for example (proficiencies from AL-Qadim).

    D&D General How Long Does It Take to get Sick of an Edition?

    I played 1st edition from 1981/1982 up until 1989 when 2nd edition was released. I switched from 1st to 2nd edition only because that was the new edition. I certainly wasn't tired or bored with 1st edition. I played 2nd edition from its release in 1989 until the release of 3rd edition in...

    D&D 5E Best Vicious Mockery insults?

    I also like another of the taunts that talk of making certain male body parts into castanets. :eek::blush:

    D&D General Man-kissing frog

    I like Dannyalcatraz's idea of using the Slaad for inspiration (though there are several real world creatures that do this as well). The female frog could lay her eggs inside the host. But instead of just laying her eggs and abandoning the host, the charm could remain intact until the eggs start...

    D&D General Man-kissing frog

    What are some of the details that you were thinking about? What size is the frog? Is the frog able to polymorph or shape-change into a humanoid form? These kind of details.

    D&D General Acupuncture & acupressure nwp?

    Thank you. Because they are so closely tied, and use most of the same "acupoints", I would just use the same proficiency for both, minus the ability to treat and/or heal poison.

    D&D General Acupuncture & acupressure nwp?

    Here is what I came up with converting the Acupuncture Skill from "Legend of the Five Rings". It costs more than the Healing proficiency, but it does more. Here is the skill as it appears in Legend of the Five Rings (Way of the Phoenix):

    D&D General WotC's Secret Lore Book

    These are pretty clear, definitive statements on your part. And they indeed seemed pretty clear as well as definitive to me when I responded to them, but okay. :erm:

    D&D General WotC's Secret Lore Book

    Just because in the past D&D was not unified as a setting, does not mean it is to remain so forever. And that the changes TSR made to make it unified, "didn't count". It's fine that you don't make all of the settings unified, but officially, once Spelljammer and Planescape were released, like it...

    I would like to thank the prosecution for making the defendant's point. :p:lol:
