When I started playing in the early 2000's I didn't know there was such a thing as published adventures. We bought all of our books from Borders, which is a now defunct chain bookstore, similar to a Barnes and Noble. It was cool that they carried these books, but they didn't carry a wide...

I'm surprised Goblins, or to a lesser extent Kobolds haven't gotten the PHB treatment. It seems to be a universal experience that parties will adopt an NPC goblin, and I've played in tons of games the featured Goblin PCs. At heart everyone just wants to be a funny lil guy.

I love this so much. I just now decided I will also have a Goliath Kingdom in my world.

I can certainly understand that. My group is similar in the sense that I'd have a very hard time removing any one individual player. Something you could maybe try is to give some of your enemies the same powers that your players have, and show them being used more effectively. Like have the...

I've told my players that I give them gold from monsters as a short cut to this. Like would a dire rat have two gold pieces? No probably not. Rats don't do commerce or have an understanding of currency. But you did the rat room. You went in, killed the rats, and as a way to short cut the whole...

Do you tell them they finished the adventure site? Just say "Hey gang, good job. The goblins are all dead, the gold is all looted." Some people will claim it breaks verisimilitude but I think it's an often better option than dawdling.

Well this is a neat product I didn't know I wanted. Perhaps this is a way for WOTC to take the temperature of the consumer base and see what they're interested in. If this sells really well maybe they'll take it as a sign that there is a desire for more setting products.

My girlfriend is so stoked for this. She's seen the show two or three times now. We almost went when they came to Detroit (Late last year or early this year) but couldn't make it work. I would have liked to have seen it but I'm not super upset that we didn't. The theater is sooooo expensive. I...

Could be an interesting choice but I'm not so sure. The adventure as written has the party delving into the dungeon to track down a different adventuring party, who was the last group to enter the dungeon. I've placed the macguffin with that first adventuring party. The time-line doesn't quite...

Good morning EN World. You all have been super helpful in all of my other planning, so hopefully you don't mind me calling on the Dungeon Master Brain Trust once again to help plan out my next session. If you don't care about the back story the TL;DR is that a cinematic moment may have killed a...

If you're a fan of the dragon bards they printed another one in the Baldur's Gate MTG set.

I never said it was hard math.. Just suggested there was a lot of it. Rather than having to tally up all the points to see that I can just give my character a +1 in every ability, just show me in the book the "Jack of All Trades 12, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13 array"

That's such a hard line. If someone watches a whole season of something and doesn't like it I'd really struggle to keep suggesting it. I do know that some shows have weak seasons, but end up being great overall though. I love Mr. Robot, but season 2.. and part of season 3 aren't stellar.. And...

You usually end up seeing one of three trends, in my experience. A set that looks like the standard array, A set that looks like three solid stats, three awful stats(15, 15, 15, 8, 8, 8) or the one where they're all really close to the point of the character being not bad, but also not good...

It's just real rough to force yourself to spend 1.5-3 hours watching something, and still not get into it.

Imagine trying to get your character killed, but you're unable to because their stats are all so good you keep passing all the various checks

One of my players is a ranger, and when he hit level three, he took the option for an animal companion. The book said a beast with a CR of 1/4 or less I believe, so I gave him the monster manual and let him go wild. He found the Blink Dog. I was a little surprised but said yolo. I believe the...

When I was a teen playing we used to do the standard 4d6, drop lowest. Then for stronger characters we changed it to 4d6, re-roll 1's and 2's and drop lowest. With my current group I gave them the option to take the standard array or roll, and they all chose to roll. A couple of them had some...

I struggle with a lot of shows. I bounced off Delicious in Dungeon and Vox Machina too. I often feel like if I could force myself to watch two or three episodes I'll get interested but I don't want to make myself keep watching something that isn't holding my interest.
