I thought "Lol, that scream he made when he realized".

Oh don't get me started on needing elfish ancestry to be able to take subclasses. I had quite enjoyed D&D uncoupling classes from races. Luckily I mostly game in the homebrew realm, so that is more a formality really, and usually can do whatever if discussed with the DM.

I like the idea of a Gish. Mostly because I usually favor melee when I get to play, but really REALLY want to try out magic as I get older. However, I don't want to just grow tired of slinging spells and wish for the bygone days of hitting things in their face like typically happens. So...

What? Rangers aren't sneaky melee peeps? I must have been playing a different D&D this whole time.

So a "The Greatest Science Fiction Shows" but not really list?

And to that point, while I baked and ate some worm chocolate chip cookies for Zoology in High school. The cookies still aren't that great, because worms. Chop them up as much as you like, you are still eating a cookie with interesting tasting meat in it.

That 'jah' when addressing his wife.

I think it works fine. Don't worry about people thinking you built him too high. Zealot Barb is a pretty hot choice. The last one I played got challenged to a fist fight in an arena and just completely destroyed, much to the DM's surprise.

I guess I would look at it this way, especially in the context of this portion: "I kind of like the idea of the group doing adventures in the 'world' but slowly finding out that things are not as they seem. That there are cracks on the edges. Then they find out there's 'another world' and...

To answer your inquiry, yes. I do tend to throw leaders in with my encounters. They can range from the 'might makes right', to the 'clever girl', to the Ulysses S. Grant of Orc-kind. I would say they make varying degrees of difference in combat. Sometimes depending on whether - ahem- I am in a...

Been very strange. mask mandate for the county lifted this week. Though businesses are still free to require it if they choose. While most people where I work, that are expected to be onsite are vaccinated, it still just... feels odd to not walk about these halls without one. I know some...

I skimmed it, but will check it out later in greater detail. For now, all I can say is I am stealing your thread title as the name of an NPC. Ned 'New Eyes' has a good ring to it.

You are in luck! As a human you were likely equipped with an amazing setting creating system, the imagination! With this tool, I have been able to consistently play D&D without actively playing a published campaign for 20 years. Some may have been kitchen sink, but a great deal of them were...

Talking about traps just reminds me of an argument I had with my players about environmental hazards and the distinction between the two. The outcome being that whenever one of said players mentions environmental hazards, I will groan.

If you call your show Trapbusters, and you have an electric personality and high-enough Charisma score, you will have an avid viewer in me.

I have piloted a barge on the river before, but I wouldn't call myself a barge pilot. I WOULD like to claim the title of Astronaut however, if I ever got into space.

It is even harder if that new DM legitimately asks you for advice or has questions about rules. So hard. It does seem to get easier though as time goes on.

Well, firstly. I think for books, you have to have a more limited cast of races and monsters. Don't want to drown readers in too much stuff. But yeah, I get it sometimes when there is just too much stuff. My favorite example of my displeasure of this is actually Final Fantasy IX. There were all...

I guess I am thinking about this from the perspective that this is 1 HP damage from full. That whiff of air that is caused by a weapon or projectile passing close by. That feeling you get when the bat or whatever you are holding causes a vibration or stinging sensation down your arms. That...

I think it is a definite forum thing, and an internet thing. I also liken it to how I am as a player after looooong stints of being just DM. Occurrences where the DM of that game makes a ruling or interprets a rule different to how I would, or how I understand it. At little voice inside wants...
