Last minute cancellations suck. My only solution is to basically assume that player will never show up. If that leaves you with too few people, then find more.

There is no official word that I'm aware of, and it seems the designers intended to keep the world map pretty vague. I think they underestimated people's desire to have access to details.

It has nothing to do with what they "can handle." It's simply seeing how many days it takes to complete the number of encounters that particular difficulty requires to reach the next level. Assuming an "easy" encounter is 25 xp, and that it takes 300 xp to reach level 2, that's 12 easy...

Giantitp is probably the best place for getting questions answered. I think Reddit is probably best for general conversations about DnD. Topics get derailed just as much as here, but the way conversations are threaded means it's much easier to skip over large chunks of stuff you don't care...

Maybe it's regional. I just know that finding games or players hasn't seemed to get any easier in the last 5 years, but news and discussions about it are all over the place now.

As a GM, I don't find the high-level gameplay to be very interesting, and often very difficult to properly balance. Even official support seems to be lacking (and almost always has), compared to other levels.

I feel like it's on the verge of jumping sharks, tbh. There's so much focus on the media/entertainment side (podcasts, celebrity guests, etc) that people seem to be forgetting they should actually play once in a while. I actually know more people who watch or listen to game sessions than those...

To my knowledge there is no way to engage in archery with d10's d12's or 2d6's. This is offset by better positioning, and a focus on the most useful stat in the game.

They should also take into consideration the fact that the caster doesn't need to be in melee. Honestly, a lot of these suggestions seem really overpowered.

Yeah, I probably should have described the chart a bit better. Sorry about that. First of all, there is a sheet for backend data that has the core CR chart and a place for group size: On the main sheet, I'll go over the fields and explain any calculations I made. Level and XP Should be...

At least on my end, the problem is only introduced when attempting to search cached data (what appears to happen by default when hitting enter from the search field). If you manually select "Advanced Search" and go from there, it seems to work. This might be something that can be fixed by...

For what it's worth, I did the math for my last campaign below: The far right column, Sessions, is the average of Medium, Hard, and Deadly encounters. I specifically didn't factor in Easy encounters because you have to run way too many in order to maintain any semblance of progress...

Actually, the elves in this setting have mostly gone "feral" as a result of spending too much time away from the Fey (a place they've lost reliable access to). Dwarves are isolationists who's only presence on the surface is to act as the official banking house for whatever society happens to be...

@Morrus needs to increase the PHP memory limit to something larger than 128M as a test, just to make sure it's not something simple. The error I'm reproducing, however, is over a value smaller than the current limit, so I'll troubleshoot some more.

This reminds me of a setting concept that I've been toying around with. Basically, Raise Dead is fairly cheap to cast, to the point where entire armies will be brought back once a battle has been decided. There are social rules dictating it all, and fighting almost feels more like a massive...

Feats are one of the few ways to mechanically customize what your character is special at (unless you're a spell casting class, then you have the flexibility built in). I think one of the mistakes 5e made was in simplifying the options for feats, rather than expanding on them.

But what did he do that the Dodge action wouldn't have also handled?
