If your players cannot organise themselves, it is the GM's job to get them moving. In this case you want to go back to the old practice of declaring intentions. Allow only a few moments of discussion - they're in the middle of a fight after all - then point at each player in turn and ask them...

In my experience, plenty of people used the reaction tables. The point is to use them when a reaction is uncertain or not previously determined.

Just a side thing to point out that 5e skill checks need never be a binary pass/fail, especially for social checks. In the DMG it shows a range of results for each attitude depending on the final total of the check; at 0, 10 and 20. There is nothing wrong with applying a scale of possible...

Great to see others playing it as well. What changes did you make?

From my blog: Token Resistance After many years of hoping to get a large enough group interested in playing it, I finally managed to run the first Dragonlance module – Dragons of Despair – using the 1st edition AD&D rules on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. I know the series gets some flack for a...

Falling damage has never really worked well with the whole concept of hit points. Frankly it ought to be a saving throw, with several stages of injury instead.

I prefer the classic 3. Law, Chaos and Neutrality. Trying to bring good and evil into the mix gets complicated when the nature of good and evil is not easy to define, and many of the actions taken by supposedly 'good' guys can be questionable. Is a paladin really good, if their primary tool is...

I think you may have fundamentally misunderstood what the Fan Content Policy is. It is not a license. It is not a legal document. It is a policy. They are just telling you how they, as a company, will respond to people using their IP. That is it.

The page count isn't really indicative of anything. Many lightweight roleplaying games have low page counts. You can easily fit a playable game onto one side of A4, especially if it's not meant for extended campaign play. I mean, this is Justin LaNasa so it is entirely possible that they are...

Well, I've cancelled my pre-order anyway. Not happy with their response to the OGL stuff. Just picked up the book on it's own from the local shop. A shame as I was planning on going all in on the figures, but not now. Will use my old ral partha stuff.

I'm not going to stop playing D&D. Because I don't need Wizards of the Coast to do so. I will stop buying Wizards products.

Personally I would have it pull it's punches a bit; reduce the damage it's outputting since it doesn't really see them as enough of a credible threat for it to bother. Let them fight it for a while, then when it bores of their company it slaps one of them really hard and leaves.

I know I wasn't who the question was aimed at, but as a small time publisher the only way they could regain my trust is if they released an OGL 1.0(b) that not only included the term irrevocable but also clarified that it could not be "de-authorised". For preference it would also be placed under...

Presumably this one: https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-full-glorious-history-of-nutsr.684697/

I can't answer the question without knowing what the subscription would include. If it unlocked all digital content on D&D beyond for me to use and run games with then up to £10 a month. If it was more than that I might still do so but only if I was actively running a campaign right at that...

The leak is obvious nonsense. The sky is not falling. And it won't spell the end of D&D. But if it did, nothing would change for me. I'm used to running unsupported versions of D&D. I have everything I need to keep playing the D&D of my choice for the rest of my life, as does anyone else. D&D...

I would generally assume gloves as default when adventuring. When you are fighting with bladed weapons - even if you have absolutely no other protection - the absolute bare minimum you want to get away with is gloves or gauntlets of some kind, even if they are just leather or some other tough...

So is the deluxe version already out in the US? Here in the UK we have to wait until March.

Well, that was one of the great things about 4e; you had defences besides AC (Ref, Fort, Will) and attacks could target those.
