    AD&D 2E What would you bring from PF2e to your 5e game?

    I'm planning to start a campaign soon and want to propose using the initiative is a skill check that depends on what the characters are doing at the time

    News Digest: Pathfinder 2nd Ed Release Line Details, D&D Ranger NOT Changing, BattleTech Clan Invasi

    I think it goes a bit beyond just being able to ask for hints about which terrain to use. First, while suggesting DMs be open and flexible is good, it still relies on the DMs' cooperation. And if we're talking about revising class features I think it's valid to point to this as something that...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    Note the phrasing is different, though it obviously has the same intention. The smites are phrased as "when you hit ... you can spend a slot to deal damage". The artificer is phrased as "you summon the turret by expending spell slots". Seramus' point is if someone was being really pendantic they...

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    For anybody else that feels this way, here's the facebook post text (I edited my initial post to put Mandy's content warning outside the block)

    Looking for Indiana Jones-esque RPGs, books, media

    Yeah I was thinking Spirit of the Century might work well for what you're looking for https://www.rpgnow.com/product/28296/Spirit-of-the-Century?it=1

    Need a system recommendation

    Shadowrun Anarchy might be worth checking out, it uses the Shadowrun setting with a different more narrative focused ruleset. Also Gumshoe might work as a system, though you'd need to adapt some of the existing settings to get what you want

    What is your reaction to the Ravnica news?

    This is pretty much where I'm at, though I wouldn't quite go far enough to say excited. Don't know enough about MTG or Ravnica to have had an opinion when it was first announced, but what I've seen makes me intrigued enough that I'll probably be looking closely at previews as it comes closer...

    D&D 5E (2014) Any Land (Mountain) Druid players/DM’s of players out there?

    I played a dwarf mountain druid in a Storm King's Thunder campaign, got to level 12 and had fun with him. Like others have said, flexibility seemed to the big advantage. We had a bard acting as the main healer, so I was mainly going for control type spells and acting as a backup healer. The...

    Sell Me On WotBS / Zeitgeist

    I managed to run my group all the way through Zeitgeist (though with an accelerated epic tier that was basically just the most significant combats and narrating the rest due to needing to wrap things up before a move). I'd definitely recommend it to others. It has a strong plot with NPCs that...

    D&D 5E (2014) First literary concept of the "Adventuring Party"?

    I wouldn't have quite thought of it in these terms, but as close as some other suggestions would be the Fianna from Irish folklore and the 12 peers of Charlemagne (which was also the origin of Paladins)

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone else expanded on attunement in their campaigns?

    13th age uses a similar idea you described, where every true magic item (as opposed to consumable items like potions) has a quirk associated with it https://www.13thagesrd.com/magic-items/#Magic_Item_Personalities_Quirks

    News Digest: Empyrea Canceled, New Stranger Things Game, Warhammer 40K Comics, and more!

    It was not an abstract discussion, but a report of an actual event including a picture of the person who did the groping to help identify who the person was. Also questioning if something was sexual assault or groping is the wrong question since groping would be a form of sexual assault.

    https://twitter.com/Sphynxian/status/920755260330823681 This is a screen shot of Frank's follow up post, where he describes his view of the thread that Jessica described, but deleted. He still characterizes a woman who froze after being groped "believed wrongly that she was utterly helpless" and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Races of Eberron: Goliath?

    Iserith beat me to the quote I vaguely remembered, so I'll have to settle for posting a link to the source, which was a comment in a longer post about his thoughts in general about unusual races in Eberron

    ZEITGEIST Player's Guide (Part One: Characters) [5E]

    The most significant part of the Devas' previous lifetimes is creating a connection to a character that has been alive for 500 years due to divine energy. It probably wouldn't hurt if you just wanting to have an Aasimar and say they've effectively become immortal. There is one major NPC Deva...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will the upcoming UA Ranger subclasses be for the PHB or the variant Ranger class?

    From https://twitter.com/mikemearls/status/805278514463158273 astiboga when we do ranger stuff, will work for both. Subclass nodes match up for both versions. #wotcstaff
