    D&D General Things That Bug You

    It's a kludge for the monks. If you say that quarterstaves are a two-handed weapon, then a monk can't use it. But if a monk can't use a quarterstaff, then you can't do a "Friar Tuck" monk build. So instead, they called it versatile so that a Friar Tuck can use his quarterstaff.

    Fishing for Dragons

    If the party succeeds in catching a fish, I roll d6. On a 5 or a 6, they encounter an owlbear.

    D&D 5E (2014) booming blade plus shove as a tactic - does this work?

    Or wait. They're now 5' away. So they can ready an attack and when the character comes into range on their turn attack as a reaction and not have to worry about the thunder damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) booming blade plus shove as a tactic - does this work?

    Unclear. Crawford has gone on the record to say that standing up from prone, while it uses movement, only costs movement but is not movement that triggers the thunder damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games Taking Pre-Orders For ToEE

    It's most likely just a mockup to give a sense of size for this release. The prior entries in the series are sizable already. This is to show that, when they say it will be two volumes, they mean that it will be TWO OF THEIR VOLUMES.

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games Taking Pre-Orders For ToEE

    That's a pretty sweet price. Please note: Goodman Games, as great as they are, aren't the best with releasing on time. They're kind of the Paul Masson of gaming like that, except instead of wine, they'll release no module before its time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a caster tell if someone saved or not against their spell?

    The PHB misused commas is what it comes down to. Those should be semicolons. Want an idea of what one hour of fighting looks like? Watch the famous Hallway Fight from S1:E2 of "Daredevil." It's a five-minute fight. Can we agree that that would interrupt a Long Rest?

    Marvel vs DC

    No problemo. The Marylander in me puts in Rs where there are no Rs. Which is why the capital of the United States is, in actuality, Warshington, DC.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – The Darkest House, HC SVNT DRACONES 2.0, Cerebox, and more

    Buckskin scrolls sounds cool until you actually see how low-grade it seems to have been implemented. Actual parchment can be sourced and would probably have a much better result, albeit at a higher cost.

    Marvel vs DC

    I think people also have this preconceived notion of Superman based on really hazy memories of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies - which were pretty bad. And yes, they were bad. With the exception of some very good scenes, the movie itself is mediocre. For every "You've got me?! Who's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dante's Inferno 5e Kickstarter of the Divine Comedy

    It looks nice and my interest is piqued. But it seems a bit on the spendy side.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon themes

    I'd go a slightly different direction. Cold and brutal (think of being mauled by a polar bear), blinding speed and power (avalanches, snowstorms) and interested in inflicting pain and madness (think of frostbite, gangrene, snow blindness, and being trapped).

    E. Gary Gygax Sr. May Have Had Another, More Recent Will?

    He may have been reassigned to a different docket. Rotation between types of cases is common to ensure that judges have a full breadth of knowledge. Given that it's at the beginning of a calendar year, that seems likely. Subpoenas in civil cases are common just to make sure that witnesses (and...
