Well, think of the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite warrior force made exclusively of male couples. The idea being that fighting alongside their lover they would be extra fierce and brave, to not make the other feel ashamed of them. Also, have you seen an angry drag queen? Gurl she can slay! To...

In my Curse of Strahd game one character got blessed by Mother Night. One of the effects is a blood thirst surge when in melee combat: After doing a melee attack she must make a DC 13 Charisma save, if she fails she must use her bonus action to bite the target of her attack. She has proficiency...

Cackle fever sounds like a lot of fun: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Diseases#h-Cackle%20Fever

That's what he said last night! :cool: Hahah (ok ok, I'm leaving...)

That sounds a lot like Iain M. Banks' The Culture series :) Still a long way to go, but I'm hoping that's where humanity is heading ... well, unless another dark age comes or all this goes :):):):) up

I don't want to derail the thread, but I see this argument so much that I just want to share my experience. I've played a Wild Sorcerer in the past up to 3rd level, and am playing a 4th level Wizard now, and honestly I find the Wizard pretty boring. I felt the Sorcerer had a lot more magic in...

I appreciate your clarifications :) I will try to explain this point, but mind you I'm pretty bad at writing... This is a question of visibility. Of people feeling that they're part of the world. It's the problem with "white-washing", non-caucasian people made to feel invisible and worthless...

In my game I have a disabled girl on a power chair (she rolls her dice with her mouth, I did suggest a phone app, but she said she wanted the real thing). She asked if her character (a non-binary half-elf assassin) could be disabled. At first I was very surprised and wondered why would she want...

My point is that this is not an ideological statement. At all. Thinking that having characters that are LGBT, non caucasian, female in the game is a question of ideology, that is the issue.

Oh, it's a children's game now... Murder, theft, witchcraft & rape are fine, as long as there's no hint of gays.

Black characters of any class Black WIZARDS! (imagine that, a person of colour taking a highly academic path) Effective female characters who are not simply the sexy sidekick Armour for women that actually protects them. Unlike those metal bras that perk boobs up Until not that long ago, these...

What does medieval Europe has to do with it? It's a fantasy game in fantasy worlds. There's only a slightly aesthetic resemblance with historical Europe. The game is called Dungeons & Dragons, not "Plague & Inquisition"

Basically that Initiative doesn't mean waking up. Initiative measures your physical ability to act. Being the last on the initiative count doesn't mean that you didn't notice anything that happened before. It just means that you can't move faster than anyone else. For instance you can take a...

In my game I got them all in Barovia because Strahd/the Dark Powers willed it. Like the book says. But when they met Madame Eva she did a card reading for each of them, as a way of divining who these strangers were. This reading showed that each one had a connection to this land: Human Monk...

It does sound like the DM is new to the game and is surprised to discover that the fantasy heroes are able to beat the odds. If he's complaining about these feats now, at 1st level, wait till the characters gain a few levels and are able to come up with outrageous solutions to his challenges...

I'm even more excited after listening to Chris Perkins talking about Tomb of Annihilation here on youtube I love that they took a similar approach to Curse of Strahd, which is the best adventure I've ever ran. (mind you, I'm still kinda new to published campaigns/adventures)

I'm excited. Main reason is that it's in a jungle! I like unusual environments in D&D. Not everything has to be in dungeons or Northern Europe inspired frozen lands. But also: PENDLETON WARD! :D

Lame? Not at all. If a player can't come to a session his character is away doing something that you handwave out of the game with that player. In the beginning of this adventure I used to carry the missing PC as my NPC, but it quickly gets too much to keep track of, nowadays only the players...

Just wanted to say that last night my group saw the Abbot and he was very candid with them and suggested replacing Vasilka's face with Ireena's, to protect her. Because he can. Obviously the players declined, but I was very proud of myself for coming up with that in the moment. They were also...
