    #RPGaDAY Day 13: Describe a game experience that changed how you play.

    Thirty years ago, I was playing (at a convention) with group and we got ourselves in some serious combat trouble. We were all yelling at Rory, the cowardly halfling that never fought, to help us out. A player had to leave and Rory took over the crazy Dwarf with the Axe. Rory came in axe-swinging...

    No love for the Transmuter?

    Strange men sleazing about in taverns distributing quests is no basis for a system of adventuring.

    Lawrence Watt-Evans' Lure of the Basilisk series is based on this. A creepy old dude (the King in Yellow) sits in the back of a tavern handing out world-shattering quests.

    D&D 5E [DM problem] Is the group I am leading too strong? Is the 5E system unbalanced?

    I see. Damage resistance b/p/s is worse than just having the normal hit points for the monster in campaigns with a lot of magic items.

    D&D 5E [DM problem] Is the group I am leading too strong? Is the 5E system unbalanced?

    Its from the DMG on page 277 where it talks about resistances being less relevant for PCs at higher levels.

    D&D 5E Homebrew Giant Elites

    There is a book on Drive Thru RPG called Armies of Evil that has Hill Giants from CR 6 to 16. Its a "Pay What You Want" title and seems like it would integrate nicely with the work you have done. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/218845/Armies-of-Evil?manufacturers_id=11882

    D&D 5E [DM problem] Is the group I am leading too strong? Is the 5E system unbalanced?

    There is already some excellent advice up-thread here. I can offer a quick hack since it seems like your PCs are fully-magic item equipped. Remove Damage Resistance bludgeoning, piercing, slashing from nonmagic weapons on all monster that have it. Increase the monster's hit point total by 1.5x...

    #RPGaDAY Day 05: Which RPG cover best captures the spirit of the game?

    Star Frontiers is another great cover that explains the game (same artist as the Shadowrun cover). I think the GURPS box sets actually do a good job of summing the game up on the cover.

    Mad idea: taking a level of exhaustion to regain a once-per-long-rest ability?

    Can you take on a level of exhaustion to replenish bardic inspiration dice, battlemaster dice, ki points, sorcery points. etc?

    How I Learned To Stop Worrying About Game Prep

    Sure. I think the Lego Movie was something like 70% improvisational dialogue. However, the same two directors got fired by Disney for doing that on the Han Solo movie.

    D&D 5E A mechanical solution to the problem with rests

    What about single player rest vs party rest. For example, party finished a combat and one player wants to spend a rest. Three players do not want to spend a rest. For the one player to spend a rest, the whole party has to do a "rest-like" activity, even if they do not spend a rest. If another...

    How I Learned To Stop Worrying About Game Prep

    I think this is an interesting point by Celebrim. If there was a convention slot and my listening said. "FATE. 12-4pm. I didn't write an adventure, just come sit down and I'll make some things up as we go." Would that be as popular or less popular than a FATE game that listed an adventure the...
