    D&D 5E Monster Manual Expanded II Second Edition News and Updates

    Right now, with DMs day sale, Monster Manual 2 is a pretty screaming deal. I mean 30% off the old price, 14 bucks, which is half off the future price when all the new art is finished. I wanted the yuan ti and zombie variants and such a great deal, so couldn’t stop myself from adding another...

    Ukraine invasion

    For what it’s worth, that was an isolationist rant, not a xenophobic one. I feel like it’s an important difference. I can appreciate why you’d prefer neither here.

    Ukraine invasion

    So, I know donating blood was shot down a few days ago, and it’s true, no blood donated in the US or likely wherever you are is getting to Ukraine, but…it’s never a bad time to donate, it’s always needed, if a war somewhere makes you inclined to donate some blood, do it, there is never an...

    Movies (or other media) that changed your life?

    The Virtue of Selfishness - Ayn Rand. I wouldn’t have been such an insufferable douche bag in my early 20s w/o it.

    They serve polenta in Michelin starred restaurants. It’s essentially foufou Italian grits. I’m no big grits defender, but hominy, which is harder to find in Michelin starred restaurants, is something that is worth losing a limb about. It’s how the south does corn right.

    Ukraine invasion

    We shall, but again, even after WWII we didn’t call everyone that drove a truck in Hitler’s army a war criminal, just the ones that did other things. Let’s not broad brush the humans on one side as monolithic other Enemies. They humans to, worth remembering.

    Ukraine invasion

    For war crimes, yeah, for doing evil things, yeah. But for being conscripted or even willingly joining an army and fighting on a side, that excuse still works I think. Unless just being in an army is a war crime, are you saying that’s the case here?

    D&D 5E How far can I throw a goblin?

    As for targeting, I’d not bother for hitting a target, like a wall section. I’d give any creature the goblin was thrown at a dex saving throw though.

    D&D 5E How far can I throw a goblin?

    First question is, do you even lift bro? Do you even lift? I’d rule much like DNDReborn that throwing a squirming creature takes a second grapple test, not a second action, but a second test, to see if you can ball the grappled thing in your throwing action. Then I’d follow the “fling”...

    D&D General Thinking about Cantrips (building from 3.5/PF/4e/5e/A5E)

    I feel like the cantrip is to give basic combat utility of a crossbow. It has problematic outside effects, imagine level one dick wizards wandering town and minor illusioning all day. So long as caster has basic combat utility and doesn’t have to club anyone with a staff, nerf all you want.

    When I was a child, I was a picky eater, then I went to college, and it was you get what you get and I learned to just eat things and not be a baby about it. Others in the dorm just ate cereal all the time, I guess, they may be never grew up and still bitch about food. Since college I’ve gone...

    Stupid, but not that unusual. Feels like we need a thread to deposit evidences of human stupidity. Make it a + thread.

    D&D General What’s The Big Deal About Psionics?

    Agree, but we should, there should be much more separation. There should be much more uniqueness. Frankly, wizards and clerics shouldn’t share ANY spells.

    D&D General What’s The Big Deal About Psionics?

    Obviously, in past use, Psionics do a bunch more than change minds, but all that is to me just fluff spells, like it’s all fluff when target takes 1d10 damage be it frost or fire if there’s no resistance. And 1d10 fire damage coming from a casters fingers or mind is all the same to me. Rules...

    D&D General What’s The Big Deal About Psionics?

    Thank you everyone for your responses. To me, for ME, (ie you do whatever you like yourself) Psionics seem to be something you need to carve out at system creation, mind effect spells like suggestion, sleep and stuff that only Psionic people can do, and wizards can’t get. Regular spells can do...

    D&D General What’s The Big Deal About Psionics?

    They’re just different spells. They’re spells, but from a different source and maybe a lil weird, but not really that special. Near as I can tell. I am sure I’m missing something because every time Dark Sun comes up there’s a grip ton of hand wringing about getting Psionics right. It just...

    I dunno, I’ve never been in these forums before and don’t know any one of the people in it because I have’t spentany time reading them but I’ll just create a half dozen uninformed threads on common topics to get the discussion going because these people will bite and like me.

    D&D General What if Critical Role had stuck with Pathfinder? Or 4E?

    I think a better question is, “What if they’d gone with some other story or character driven ttrpg or some b/x clone” Neither Pathfinder nor 4e were ever going to find the widespread appeal 5e has. Both are more about precision and fussiness at their core than going with whatever’s fun...

    Why do you hate delivery drivers, want to put them out of a job? Bad weather is a good night for them, more calls, more tips. Light up their call board.
