I'm going to legally change my name to Bineabble Pleasa and run as a very aggressive politician. Why? No reason, just remember if taxes go up 50%, it was Bineabble Pleasa's fault.

At this point, I can recognize if a certain poster has posted without looking at their names based on the amounts of emotes they get lol.

I refuse. It's comfy up here. I named her Kali and she is fun to ri- Oh, you mean metaphorically...

CINDERS! ASH! DOES ELF BURN!?!?

Had a new-ish group play. I taught them a very important lesson: they're allowed to run. Used the chase rules against an enemy that was faster than them but they had alot of distance and they were able to narrowly escape into their locked safe haven. Of course, one took some damage. I didn't...

The last thing I'd want to do is post in that thread...sorry, but I've been burned before. Maybe I'll give it a year or two to see if it's right.

Sure, but now I'll get banned for simply saying "I'd rather eat pineapple pizza than play your homebrew" Then again, I can't imagine when I'd say such a phrase without a filter.

It's extremely generic. Most would call it boring but I try to make the overall adventure digestible so that players don't get overwhelmed early on. I've never gone through either icewind Dale or the stater set without a PC dying, which sucks because they discourages new players. They come up...

Most of the time, there's no such thing as a person that's never played a game before. They just haven't played D&D. Usually, I try to make an equivalence to a more familiar and popular game I'm certain they've played. Usually, the go-to is monopoly. Then, I relay that it's also a...

There's two distinct kinds: Complex tactics and complex mechanics. Complex mechanics are obvious. They're when you have to use integration-by-parts or a Fourier transform to know how much damage your punch did. Complex tactics are when the actual play has a lot of overhead. Like, you want to...

Darn.

Trust me, if you think that's gaslighting, you haven't had real gaslighting.

Honestly, it's true. Sometimes I'll extend downtime a little just to finish prepping the Dungeon they're determined to go.

Really, it depends on the overall theme of the campaign. If I want a dungeon-crawl experience (as I often do), it would be for killing monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and finding treasures as those are the behaviors I want to encourage. I also give XP for ending an encounter that was...

I do the same but I like a nice mug of pour-over in the morning. There's hardly any local dedicated coffee shops nearby, but when I travel, I make sure to try the local cafés.

For me, Starbucks either has extremely mediocre coffee to the worst coffee ever. I'm a coffee snob so but I also have high tolerance for bad coffee. I can drink burnt black coffee from my local café like its water. But Starbucks can somehow make even me repulsed with a crapton of sugar and...

Is there any optional player-enhancing rule in the phb that isn't considered popular and often-used

I can assure you that my challenge could not. The DMG's estimation of the tarrasque is probably involving the straightforward fight strategy.

I've actually made a challenge using RAW, bounded by DMG guidance on making an encounter. I challenged players to beat this combat challenge, playing no-holds-barred with strangers. Two of them quit after their characters got killed in two rounds. I'll admit. It was more complicated than a...

Also, I apologize for bringing this back up so late in the discussion, but I'm still just a little bothered by how people have called me dismissive or unreasonable when I feel like I've taken the time to directly address the points made with either a question for clarification or a direct answer...
