For whatever reason I've always been happy with wet erase markers and a chessex mat for the terrain (never stopped me from getting fancy terrain ofc, even if it didnt get used nearly as much), but holding a mini in my hand excites my imagination. I pick up a hill giant and think of a whole...

I'm sorry that you don't find the art worthwhile.

I think it's important to inspiration, and selling/translating the fantasy/fiction/narrative that the game is trying to embody. This CAN be done through other modes, like through writing passages or scenes from in the world of the game like World of Darkness or MCDM's supplement books, buuut "a...

Social combat please. 131! The narrator section looks dooope. I can't wait for this to drop! I also want to see mass combat and fealty buuut I'll have to wait for that 😆

Player expectations have to be set, and it really helps if they were already familiar with the Sword & Sorcery trope of "we're rich!" "Oh we spent all our money in a week/month of living it up, now we need to go adventure for more money." In modern DnD players are expecting to save money to buy...

AFAIK, heroforge's options are either colored plastic, or hand-painted. The colored plastic is... well, here ya go. First one is heroforge hand-painted. the second is colored plastic. This is from someone's post in 2022.

I'll agree that choosing to use inspiration as a reroll, rather than rolling with advantage, is an incredibly popular house rule.. basically universal across 5e tables. I think it's more of a rules-ignorance thing for many tables, rather than an intentional house rule... I know that's how our...

Now that I think on it, I recall asking the wizkids folks at GAMA (8ish years ago) why the Pathfinder prepainted minis had such lower quality than the (still low) quality DnD prepainted minis. Apparently they use different factories.. so... must be lower quality standards for the kids painting...

That's pretty standard for wizkids prepainted minis, maybe a bit below standard for the worst of them? I guess I should be glad that there's blowback for the quality... why was this different from other releases? Maybe it got bigger numbers to a wider audience that expected a closer match to the...

Hey! I realized "I use woods all the time, this could be great!" but question: are these just collections from en5ider (which I also get) or is there a new thing or three tossed in to freshen it up (and appeal to folk like me that already go in for en5ider)?

Oh! Another rule we fell into: Heralds get a small Exertion Pool. I'm still iffy on whether it should be REALLY small (half PB) or just small (PB). We started with =PB.

I find myself on both sides of this argument, in differing circumstances. This isn't DnD, so I don't want to carry my preconceived notions to it. And yet with DnD, I often desire the sacred cows because it's what makes DnD "DnD" to me. Is that hypocritical?

I’m happy to have inspiration come up more frequently, we switched to TotV’s Luck for that reason, but giving inspiration every session doesn’t change Excellence being a better choice than the other destinies.

Greater+Superior healing potions are a popular choice for Rapid Drinkers at my tables, especially when in a bind mid-fight. I personally dislike potions as a bonus action for all, partially because it steps on existing features' toes, but I also try to press time and resources at my tables so...

A5E specifically has the Rapid Drink maneuver, which does exactly this. Before A5E I had a house rule that you could sub an attack for drinking a potion.. it gave martials a boost in 5e. They don't need that in A5E 😆

Culture Tyrannized chooses either Defiant Will or Saving Face, not both. Scars of the Scourge's energy type is determined by GM based on origin. Destiny Excellence is removed. Alternatively, Excellence's "nat 1" Source of Inspiration only applies to proficient skill checks. Berserker...

Possibly because of the first half-baked three-book release, Spelljammer. Which I'm still salty about. @paradisebunny it won't be the core of your content, but since someone mentioned Kobold Press' upcoming planes release, I figured I'd mention that Monte Cook did a planes book a while back...

I'm familiar with another one, free AFAIK, Archivist AI Automatic Notes for Your TTRPG Campaign | Archivist AI It seemed like good stuff, and yet I still couldn't be arsed to keep up with it 😆
