    D&D 5E Twilight Fables Launched!

    Yeah, I’m impressed that line keeps trending up. Not normal Kickstarter line. I backed for pdf, and cause I feel like the pdf was too cheap, picked up the pdf for those monster cards rather than just donating. There’s definitely a regular 25 buck value in the pdf tier, but I get the $15 as it...

    D&D 5E Stormwreck Isle Starter Sets show up in the wild!

    I don’t know if it’s that telling. Game rules in the starter aren’t much beyond what’s in the free basic rules and nothing stopping them from throwing in new character sheets on later printings.

    D&D General What is a Ranger? A miserable pile of secrets! (+)

    Also, just for something no one will like, I’d have rangers only able to do ritual spells. Or at least, nothing in combat, everything takes 10 seconds minimum. I feel like magic yes, but only rituals of the forest magic, mostly practical healing and protective ward and buff stuff.

    D&D General What is a Ranger? A miserable pile of secrets! (+)

    Mechanically, I’d do Ranger attack mod as combine strength and dex, divide by two and round up. Able to be applied to either and armor. And same with spellscasting, combine wisdom and intelligence or charisma, player option on which, and use that, round up. To give the well rounded bonus a...

    D&D General What is a Ranger? A miserable pile of secrets! (+)

    Did no one mention Rambo as a Ranger archetype? Especially as John Rambo in First Blood, by the second movie he’s clearly taken at least a one level Barbarian dip for a couple rages and unarmored defense, but overall lots of Rangerness there. Aside from the machine guns, I’d like to emulate...

    D&D 5E Twilight Fables Launched!

    I think the focus on lower level stuff is great. I need tons of lead up baddies but only one or two big bads per campaign. Spread looks spot on.

    D&D 5E Is "Passive" (for Passive Perception) really the right term??

    Maybe? Sure, active sneaking of enemies checking against PCs passive perception could be a thing and I guess others do that, but that would be a secret roll and meaningless to the PCs. I’m ok with random encounters, but we roll public for them so there’s drama around it, so it’s part of the...

    D&D 5E Is "Passive" (for Passive Perception) really the right term??

    Didn’t read the whole thread so likely someone has already said this, but even if they have worth repeating and seconding or sixthing, passive perception is a useless stat for players. My players, when not looking for it, notice what I find interesting for them to notice and don’t notice what I...

    D&D 5E Invisible, hidden and within 5 feet of an enemy making a ranged attack

    I’m with you. The requirement that they must be able to see you is because if they can’t, they can’t interfere. If archer is invisible, person next to them doesn’t know to wave arms and distract. But if person next to archer is invisible no amount of arm waving is going to distract...

    D&D 5E 5e isn't a Golden Age of D&D Lorewise, it's Silver at best.

    People only need to know what they need to know is the whole of lore. This goes the same for both DMs and players. New York City is big vast and full of life times of stuff to do. But you’re only going to be there for a week. You could get a 500 page guide book, you could get several of the...

    D&D 5E 5e isn't a Golden Age of D&D Lorewise, it's Silver at best.

    I’m saying some people want settings to be specific and “real” and WoTC has abandoned that idea, they’re just going to say, “ here’s some ideas, but do whatever you want” and I’m saying that’s hard for some who want their settings to be specific and ”real” outside their own game/ideas.

    D&D 5E 5e isn't a Golden Age of D&D Lorewise, it's Silver at best.

    I Love playing in FR in The well trod areas cause there’s so much lore and previous lore and history. Wherever you are, if you need something in This Swamp, there probably is something already written. My players are in The Mere of Dead Men, and with official and Dungeon adventures it is...

    D&D 5E Twilight Fables Launched!

    I’m on the fence here, everything about it looks great, content and art, I’m just already rich in stuff, not sure how much more i can read/use/process...but, looks like lots of this would totally fit into the Moonshae campaign I’m preparing...I’ll probably cave eventually. I did just want to...

    Jamison Stone & Satine Phoenix's Apotheosis Studio To Wind Down [UPDATED]

    This says everything was paid, even the overages. Is there anyone still saying they haven’t been paid? I haven’t been a big student of this, but there were a few complaining, but not all. If they paid everything “properly submitted” in March, they just paid late. Not great but not weird...

    RPG Freebies, Bundles, and Sales News (July 3, 2022)

    So every week I always want to say this. Pay what you want stuff on DMsG isn’t free. It’s free to get and see all of, but the author would like you to rebuy and pay the suggested price if you like it and will use it. the author is giving you latitude to pay him more or less than the suggested...

    Bands with hit singles that were not hit singles

    What if Fugazi’s 13 songs came out in 1994 instead of 1989? Like alongside offspring and green Day? Wow, they’d would have been huge. Like also Story of My Life by social distortion, came out in 1990, but if it came out in 1994? Wow.

    Bands with hit singles that were not hit singles

    The stooges were around in 1969, I don’t get these other first punk rock band ideas. And really, the kinks…or even the Kingsman Louie Louie. They’re cool and all but not first punk rock band.

    Bands with hit singles that were not hit singles

    So this is a thread for obscure or sort of obscure bands that should have been popular but were not. That did a song that you can’t believe more people don’t know about.
