    D&D 5E Doing away with Extra Attack

    I like this idea a lot. But it isnt a small change by any means. You would have to alter most of the game in order to do so.

    Rick and Morty Type Rule Options/Changes

    If you were going to try and run a D&D campaign with the feel of Rick and Morty, What house rules options or changes would you make? I'm torn myself because it seems their are some better rpg's to base that kind of game on.....however, my players are much more interested in D&D 5E with this...

    Critical Role Do you Critical Role?

    I love Critical Role. Have seen every show just ..I watch them when they come on YouTube. Mostly listen to them. Four hour long shows are great when I'm in the car or can't sleep or playing video games.

    Choose One Cantrip You'd Like In Real Life

    Spare the dying. Has everything I could need. Riches & Fame and aduration. The Man who can stop Death. Sure,it wouldn't work in a lot of cases where people are in horrible accidents that obviously do well more than double there hit point totals. For many of them though it would work...

    tail wags dog: streamers want to say 'aaargh' so we are getting a pirate adventure

    Nope.Because a great many people do indeed play the wrong game. They spend years for a wide number of reasons playing a game or edition that really doesn't suite them. They get upset and frustrated often not knowing what is wrong only that something doesn't work right. I was not saying that for...

    tail wags dog: streamers want to say 'aaargh' so we are getting a pirate adventure

    I'm going to be honest with you here and I mean this in a helpful way not in a knee-jerk you said something wrong and I'm trying to slam you in any way. I think you are playing the wrong role playing game. I know people who had those those exact same complaints those were a very good sign of...

    Am I alone in hating Christmas-themed adventures?

    I like them a lot. Often the normal group can't get together at that time so whoever is left just plays wonderfully fun and silly Christmas themed adventure that often involves all the Christmas activities dialed up all the way. They are also normally incredibly deadly but if you live or...

    How to add more sorcery points?

    Huh, well I love Old School games like Classic D&D and AD&D as well and those gets pretty darned unbalanced at times. I find them just as fun or more fun than the later editions....sometimes. Lucky for me there are rpg's for just about every single mood I can have.

    Sorry Folks, I just can't get into 5e

    This is what I did. When 5E first came out I was very disappointed. I love B/X and thought 5E would have options to make it more of a advanced B/X but..it didn't. Over time however I came to see it as it's own thing and not just a offshoot of my Favorite game but a totally separate game. Once...

    I mean yeah it could be. Then again it could be someone bored with the slash and hack of your typical game and trying to elevate the game. Some of the best games involve such play. That said. It's also very possible its exactly what the poster thought. Not knowing anything more than was posted...

    I'm just saying"I HATE to move. I HATE to help friends move even more. I just am NOT going to do it. I have done it enough! I'm done!" I have them mindset firmly in place and if I was in rpg.......My character is NOT EVER going to do it again. It isn't fun, I'm getting old so now it has a much...

    Ridding Elves and Half-Elves of Darkvision

    For myself I just think it sucks that nobody is afraid of the dark. Also it's a major pain when playing online with battlemaps. But mostly the Dark is something most of us have experience with fearing. Going from a well lit place to complete darkness is unsettling. It takes time for your eyes to...

    Ridding Elves and Half-Elves of Darkvision

    Am I the only one with plans to take away all Darkvision? I never understood really why they had it in the first place other than to seem more non-human. It seems so much better if nobody could see in the dark but each race used their environment to create there own style light sources...

    Why are you acting like ability scores and the paint by number pregenerated ideals,flaws and bonds are anything alike? Backgrounds are very malleable, don't like the options make up your own, don't want to use them at all? That's fine to. Want to use premade backgrounds but put your own ideals...

    Mostly the bard speaking in character and then out character rolling the dice and saying"aww crap, I rolled a 8 not so hot, I'ts like I gave that speech while picking my nose! Still my total is a 15! Not too shabby! What does Abtomar The Fierce say?" and then Abtomar the Fierce's Player says...

    Ah another You'r not really role playing right argument. Sorry,No. We can just agree to disagree then. My goal isn't reliance on dice rolls, it's role playing. I'm thrilled for you that you are able to take into account another characters persuasion Charisma skill level and all the mods that...

    I realize you are very confident on your stance and that trying to bring enlightenment to the unenlightened but if you stopped for just a moment and actually considered his posts as not wrong but from a different correct viewpoint you might actually see that point of view(not agree with it...
