    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    See OP, he hopes for paladins, gnomes and everything running around in FR to show up including Volo himself. Sorry that ain't rock'n'roll to me. But it is hopeless, you cannot explain the feeling of the original Darksun to newer generations, they did not experience it back then when it came out.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    I wish them to keep their hands of it, from their UAs on psionics especially the subclass thing except UAMystic3, I do not believe they could do it satisfactory atm. Also it seems not to fit into todays Zeitgeist anymore without altering it to be not recognizable anymore, so in other words it...

    D&D 5E (2014) What To Do With Racial ASIs?

    Socially uncomfortable? Next thing then is probably, why the breath weapon of an ancient red dragon does more damage than the breath weapon of an ancient black dragon? People can we please shift back to discussing the game again, instead of things which got nothing to do with it? If you want...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thief Rogue throwing Ball Bearings everywhere

    Imagine Lego tiles and a situation where many creatures run barefoot e.g. a hobbit village

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Except the main purpose of a knight in the legends was not to command troops around, but to execute the valiant deeds himself. OP was not searching for a RL knight but for the romantic knight of the fairytales and sagas.

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Take a 2e Paladin (Not the exact mechanics, but the code of honor and such rules). Then take away some of the religious aspects, and add some romantic ones.

    D&D General What if the Blood War ended? (Possible Outcomes Discussion)

    This. The whole discussion is pretty hypothetical from an "official lore" POV. I would go even further: If you take out the essence of one of the corner alignments, e.g.: devils loses = no strong aspect of LE anymore in the planes, then this would afflict the whole multiverse. In the primes...

    D&D General How long do you like your campaigns?

    Wow, what world do you use? Some official or homebrew, and did you switch editions ? I am absolutely curious, has there been one goal defined that 11,5 years ago which is still not met? Or is it more an open world simulation?

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    Let me guess: In your case the player chose to join the cult more often than not? (Because slave trade and such ) (Just joking) But seriously, I do not hesitate to give players McGuffin artifacts from time to time, with which they can chose to either save the world or destroy it. If they...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    Well some argue it is best to offer three or four directions to go and let the layers decide and argue, that this would save time and work, since the players will surely take one bait. You also see that often in bought modules. But: Unless your "sidequests" are not very level independent, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    freedom, i intend to use this classic ds module on my players. Playing oota atm, spoiler I did not like that you were basically expected to escape the drow starting prison almost as naked as during your stay. We only left after we found some of our gear, and i believe the dm had to wing it...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    I might be reading to much into this, but it seems like this idea could be fun, but the DM botched his good idea by overdoing it, or not taking into account that PCs might concentrate to much on his "filler" -stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) Intelligence Based Dueling Ideas

    World of Tiers by Phillip Jose Farmer: Theres a Rube Goldberg machine I think by using some magic furniture which moves away automatically if I can remember correctly. Another nice twist in the Book is when they drown a magic portal in an ocean, flooding a fortress where the destination gate is.

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    Some people feel railroaded if you start your campaign with one of the best starter vignettes ever: DM: You are naked in a dungeon, find your way out .... Then your modern players, not used to such scenarios: where is my starting gear / spell book / holy symbol thieves tools. DM (raising his...
