    Waibel's Rule of Interpretation (aka "How to Interpret the Rules")

    I was curious about this also 1E - "They range in all climes, although they enjoy warm places more than cold" 2E - Monstrous compendium (loose leaf and bound edition) - "Manticores are found in any climate but prefer warm lands to cool ones" 3E - "Warm and temperate land and underground" 3.5E -...

    D&D 5E Damage on a Miss: Because otherwise Armour Class makes no sense

    Talking about the current benefit for GWF - not the DoaM that was removed.

    D&D 5E Damage on a Miss: Because otherwise Armour Class makes no sense

    It apparently fits fine for the designers.

    D&D 5E Damage on a Miss: Because otherwise Armour Class makes no sense

    How do you know this? How do you know it isn't that the DoaM mechanic didn't do what the designers wanted it to do and that's why they got rid of it? You seem hung up on liking the DoaM mechanic.

    D&D 5E Damage on a Miss: Because otherwise Armour Class makes no sense

    The designer's looked at the DoaM GWF mechanic, saw that it didn't do what it needed to, took it out and replaced it - so why aren't you trying to think like the game designers?

    Expensive Movie Nights

    $6.50 for tickets here + 2.75 for a slushy w/free refills. However, I still don't go see many movies cause 1) The other people won't shut up 2) I don't like being crowded 3) I don't like all the damn commercials

    Unusual Sandwiches

    Sweet - but not too sweet, more vinegar than most would use, that way it meshed well with the ginger chili dressing.

    D&D 5E Difficulty of Converting Pathfinder / 3.X Stuff?

    I've been converting Pathfinder adventures (Crypt of the Everflame, Masks of the Living God and City of Golden Death) and The Chaos Scar 4E adventures mostly on the fly with very little pre-planning. Overall, it's very easy and one thing I've found to be very helpful in doing the conversions is...

    D&D 5E Starting a new campaign and need some ideas for the BBEGs

    At those first one on one sessions I'll be able to drop some hints that will play into the whole "things aren't what they seem" and "the far realms might not be so far away" vibe I want for the campaign. Then I'll take notes on what the players think might be going on and make sure to work...

    D&D 5E Starting a new campaign and need some ideas for the BBEGs

    I'm having the players create the mentors - and I plan on a lead in session one on one with each player where I play the mentor they have created and they run their own PC. That way, at the full session with everyone I'll have a feel for the mentor NPCs when the players run the bad guys that...

    D&D 5E Starting a new campaign and need some ideas for the BBEGs

    That's an interesting Idea - and I like it. I think I'll make the leader a Nothic though - I just really like them for a far realms feel. Thanx!

    D&D 5E Starting a new campaign and need some ideas for the BBEGs

    I will be starting a new campaign soon and want it to have a Far Realms/H.P.Lovecraft feel to it. I also want to try something new to get increased player buy in from the beginning. At the first session I plan to have the players run the BBEGs as they ransack the town the PCs all call home...

    Starting a new campaign and looking for ideas

    I will be starting a new campaign soon and want to have a Far Realms/H.P.Lovecraft feel to it. Eventually I want to run The Gates of Firestorm Peak (converted to 5E). I'm wondering what others would suggest are good lower level adventures that would fit this style of campaign - and can be used...

    Which monster books do you own?

    Check Amazon - if you don't need it new you'll find better prices.

    Which monster books do you own?

    Hmmm ... I own all those, plus a bunch more and have duplicates of some because I keep getting other people's collections when they have to get rid of them for some reason.
