Now it has been a long time since I've read anything Drizzt, so take everything I'm about to say with a heaping spoonful of salt. But I think there are two main problems, especially in the later books. First, Drizzt seems to have gotten a reputation as a Mary Sue. He's simply the best at...

If Cyberpunk doesn't work, what about Big Eyes Small Mouth?

When the sorcerer was introduced, Skip Williams, one of the designers, hated the idea of the class. And he purposefully tried to make it as unappealing as possible. Of course this is all hearsay, so take it as you will.

I'm thinking of proposing playing a session of Alice is Missing to my D&D group at the end of the current campaign. The goal is to play something different as a palate cleanser before the next game starts up. I was wondering if anyone here had played it before. Tips, advice, pitfalls to avoid...

I am struggling to find primary sources regarding sales numbers. (Maybe my google-fu is weak?) Most of what I've found is either people on reddit or game forums claiming that WotC employees have stated things. So let's spread so more questionable assertions! Mike Mearls on Twitter in August...

She was 11 when we started playing. She made a Fey Bloodline Sorceress. :)

I used that module to introduce my daughter to roleplaying. Graypelt was quite dangerous. :)

The PCs wander into a chamber in a cavern. The chamber is occupied by a Large spider. To prevent its dinner's escape, the spider throws a web at the entrance to the chamber, effectively blocking it up. My questions to you are: 1) Would this even work with a monstrous spider's web throwing...

The 10th level cleric has a direct line to a representative of his faith. He doesn't need to wade through the telephone prayer automated menus and get put on hold. "Your prayer is very important to us. All representatives are currently busy. Please stay on the line. If this is an emergency...

Pokeball, go! The only time this was ever really a problem was when there was a PC riding a Dire Bat. It's size large, so 10x10x10. But the description says its wingspan is much wider. The PC and the GM getting into arguments over whether it could fly down the 10 ft wide hallway, how the rider...

I have to agree with @Leatherhead this is a plot hook more than anything else. As a GM I would ask probably ask for a roll and have the player add whatever they thought was appropriate: charisma, religion, whatever. Roll and roleplay are really good? Something good decides to intervene...

It depends, really. Does rolling add anything to help you succeed? Is the monster's health less than or equal to your minimum damage? Then it goes squish if you hit. Don't bother with damage. Is your target bound up, helpless, or otherwise unable to defend themselves? Then you hit, just go...

And I take 3.5 ideas and use them for my PF1 campaigns! Are we an ouroboros yet? :) Now if you excuse me, there are young whipper snappers on my lawn that I need to chase off. Dang kids and their advantage, and short rests, and ... and um ... what was I talking about?

I'm not sure if I'm a grognard, though my user name is pretty close! I started my D&D experience with 3.5. I loved it, problems and all. I eventually switched to 1E Pathfinder, which is now my preferred set of rules. 5E has always been "meh" for me. It just wasn't the edition for me. Which is...

I like this idea. I think a flowchart for myself might be helpful? I could have different routes that the goblins can take, complications that they face on each route, and how their successes and failures change things later in the scenario. Of course, I could also see my players starting fires...

My batch of murderous goblins are sneaking into a city. Their goal is to get across town to the temple of Shelyn and assassinate the priests there. Is there an interesting/exciting way to handle sneaking through the city? My first thought is to throw down a big map of the part of the city...

There's a playtest document for a Cowboy Bebop TTRPG. See You Space Cowboy

In Shackled City, there is a part where the party discovers a dead drow with two scimitars. I think he also has a holy symbol of Mielikki. No names are given, but you know who it references.
