That's going to be stuck in my head for WEEKS, you utter, utter bastard. Misery loves company, so here, now everyone can share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFtLONl4cNc

New on DMs Guild - Full Moon Shines, the first adventure in Timbertown! FULL MOON SHINES Lycanthropy or Misanthropy? Introduction: When the moon shines brightly, someone – or something – is stalking the streets of Timbertown. Can the heroes figure out who – or what – and settle the matter...

"Horsefeathers," he said in a 'we're chums sitting in a pub discussing this over a beer' sort of way. :) That's what exploration is all about. That's what adventure is all about! You have no idea if turning left will turn out all right because you have no idea where turning left leads. That's...

That's how I do it at my table: Crit=Max weapon die/dice + 1W + bonuses Thus, for dagger, 4+1d4+bonuses Sneak Attack damage is part of Max W. Yeah, it's probably OP, but it makes the Rogue feel awesome the tiny amount of times it happens. :) In that case, it's MaxW+MaxSA+1W+bonuses. Works...

Very good suggestions! Thank you!

Thanks for your questions! :) It's 13 pages, including a full-page town map and key. While I don't have a chapter list per se, it includes: - A brief history of the area - Important NPCs, their motivations and goals, and their relationships to one another - Descriptions of the area around...

Then I'm glad that's something I never said, nor intentionally implied. ;) That's why I snipped the rest. What I object to is the DMing style of playing all foes as MWARRR CHARGE maybe with a breath weapon or spell effect, like the drunk in your story about Feynman. I'm glad I never said...

Not at all. It seems the original thread went a bit dormant, so maybe the OP won't mind the hijack. ;) THIS. Say it louder for the people at the back! This is also very much related to my earlier point about CR - an intelligent, cunning creature of a certain CR will be much less of a...

Ah, yes. I was projecting again. :) Bags of hit points hurling themselves mindlessly at the PCs aren't in the same CR league as intelligent foes who oppose the PCs with cunning and skill. So I think it's wise to adjust CR between intelligent beings and mindless ones. In game terms, I realize...

My latest creation, just uploaded to DM's Guild: TimbertownAn Adventure Location in Impiltur A notice posted in New Sarshel reads: “The Barony of Timbertown welcomes adventurers! There is plenty of scope for bold and hardy souls to reap rich rewards, carving a reputation – and perhaps a...

Forgive me, I'm the last nerd in the universe that's never seen a single episode of TWD, so I'm assuming the zombies depicted therein are mindless; if that's wrong, this goes out the window. I have seen quite a few zombie movies, though. ;) What DEFCON1 wrote above is really good. It's easiest...

I take it seriously, because making a good story is worth taking seriously. Like others in this thread, I write and sell adventures. If someone is going to part with their hard-earned, even if it's only $1.99 on DM's Guild, that's important. My customers deserve quality, and that comes from...

If my home game had a wizard or sorceror I'd be doing precisely that. I much prefer that system. Think I'd leave the crit tables alone, though. ;) Cheers, Bob www.r-p-davis.com

Carrot and stick. Problem solved. I only use the stick, personally. My players know that I play their foes with as much creativity and will to win as they play the PCs. That's the thing I had to play through a couple of times to register it in my players' collective memory. ;) That single d20...

I have, and will continue. One day maybe I'll have the cojones to submit something for publication. :) Well, the job description is for an in-store WPN rep. So yeah, MTG, but still in-store, not telecommunications. Of course. But that doesn't mean you have to display it spine-out. If you...
