    D&D General Dying Toril

    Thats easy done with some major apocalypse, some suggestions: Corona Smombie aehrg Zombie apocalypse metorites Open gate to the abyss / nine Hells / Limbo wait, now the last one is a great idea, everything gets chaotic neutral with froglike beings adding to the chaos if it ain't chaotic enough...

    Yeah how do you justify that Drizzt and Elminster are still alive when you introduce them to save the day? Time travel?

    D&D 5E (2014) The Dual Wielding Ranger: How Aragorn, Drizzt, and Dual-Wielding Led to the Ranger's Loss of Identity

    Very good essay, i know about ad&d before i knew about drizzt, and i nthe gold box PC - games it always baffled me that rangers got 2d8 as starting hit dice. I always asumed Drizzt being a fighter first and later a ranger, dual wielding was a thing (with penalties) for 2e fighter also, and it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising Classic Settings

    In Athas everyone can be a slave real quick because it is a standard sentence (justified or not) a Templar can hand out. So that is part of the setting, most players interested in playing DS probably know that chances are that they might be enslaved at one point or the other wfor whatever...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would much Income should my players "make"?

    It is rather what value has money in your campaign. With the RAW standard equipment and economy you do not get far, so do you have a custom economy attached to your setting, aka are the prices fixed and can PCs eventually buy something out of the normal? If not, then it is pretty uninteresting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising Classic Settings

    Yea? Really? Is this the Cindarella version of slavery then? Slavery in general means people are property of other people. It means that those other people can do with their slaves what they want, be it torture, rape or kill - just when they feel like it, that is. There might have been historic...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Punishing" Player Behavior

    Well there you answered the question with your comic. Sometimes (i do not exclude myself there) you tend to test the boundaries. A good DM will give you an OOC warning for that. E.g. "You are in a Duergar town with 20.000 inhabitants, you canot start killing them even if you are level 20 and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising Classic Settings

    To cater to whom? I think FR would loose nothing if they left out the dragonborn. I think PHB would loose nothing if they did leave out drow as a playable race. What itches you? Darksun is partially a very evil world so "force-breeding" would be one of the lesser acts of violence.

    Best DM screen: No screen at all! Your players are instantly aware that you will not cheat with the dice, not even in their favor :P

    D&D 5E (2014) How can players counter Mass Suggestion?

    right, counterspell and dispel magic would work or a competing mass suggestion.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising Classic Settings

    1. Dark Sun still is a great setting, and i see ways to make it work with 5e but you need to put on grognard googles xtreme for it to reach that tone. And since todays generation will not even remotely understand what that tone is - it is also useless to try and explain it to them, they do...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Single Thing Would You Eliminate

    yes you are right, some weapons seem to be stronger than others, and have more feat based possibilities. But is that a bug or a feature? i myself do not like that handcrossbow allows for unrealistic umph damage builds, the ss feat should not be possible with that weapon which shoots better pub...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Single Thing Would You Eliminate

    Take Hobgoblins. AC 18. So do your players still hit with every attack despite SS? Check their dice. Use enemy casters (x2) or (x3) with AE. They can be glasscanons, if they get two of their fireballs centered on the group, things start to look different. Use Barlgura stats for things like...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Single Thing Would You Eliminate

    Here we go again. Duelling with board can be so much stronger with much more resilience. All those -5/+10 haters seem to get either of two situations almost every fight: max AC of mobs is 13 or Either a bless spell or advantage seems to be misteriously always on

    Well you do not have to, and i do not have to do the googling for facts for you, can we agree on that one? it is the wrong forum for that anyway.

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    Yes my specific example (womens quote in government/company leadership) might not apply to your country, but here it definetely is a topic. Not that it is per se a bad thing, but one has to be careful not to overdo it. It is by no means a conspiracy theory, i do not get were you did draw that...

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    Well but it is indeed, think quota based on gender, be it in company CEOs or in government structures, to represent equality. It is - to be fair - disapproved by a solid part of female population, they want to have success based on their capabilities, not on their gender, and compete on par with...
