    Trailer The Wild Robot trailer

    Yeah, maybe the voices will be from the people who built the robot and want it back? There's shots of a city and someone is firing some types of rockets so that's plausible.

    Trailer The Wild Robot trailer

    Same. Looks like it'll leave me an emotional mess. One worry I have is the long list of voice actors. I feel like this movie should be dialogue-less to really make the best impact? Are the animals gonna be jabbering away? Is someone going to ruin the immersion by explaining everything?

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    To a certain point. I think a video game could go deeper, but also limit what you need to worry about. Like, imagine all the recipe in Breath of the Wild but in a TTRPG? There's 122 of them! You could make it work, but the moment you leave Hyrule or even the Material Plane you have to come up...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    I just think a video game can handle minutiae a lot better than a table top game. You can add depth to a food system without adding tons of pages you have to go through, and the feedback doesn't have to filter through a human trying to remember when you need to do, say, a Thirst Check while also...

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    I think it works better in a video game than in D&D.

    Level Up (A5E) You don't hate exploration, you hate survival

    The problem with survival is that you're not expending effort to succeed, you're expending effort to not fail. It's just not an exciting feeling. It's also very binary: you have food or you don't, you have water or you don't. There's no strategy or interesting decision to make, you don't even...

    Is TTRPGing an "Expensive Hobby"

    I got like three sets (or was it four? I feel like I had a red set maybe it fell behind the shelving unit?) of polyhedral dice with little pouches at Dollarama for like... 4$ maybe? I forgot but it was super cheap. They don't have them anymore sadly. You can use wrapping paper with squares on...

    D&D 4E Bridging the cognitive gap between how the game rules work and what they tell us about the setting

    Hey now, whenever Shiryu gets blinded it always takes a miracle for his vision to come back. Or a trip to the Greek Afterlife.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Rangers should have monster fighting spells equivalent to Paladin's Smite spells. Discuss!

    Done! The plan is to only PARTIALLY counter the resistence, not make it obsolete.

    An extra language is a fun ribbon for a Ranger so I'd fit it in a revised Ranger. Maybe 'Far Travelled' as a feature? You can just use the other features independently then.

    Thank you! I was also thinking Foe Slayer should just be an option, because I feel like +WIS to attack on a situation range of enemy is a stupid concept for a capstone ability. Would make it a second universal option with Deft Skirmisher. I've also considered Weakness Seeker going to 1d10...

    Yeah gotta adjust the number of HD as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+]Exploration Falls Short For Many Groups, Let’s Talk About It

    Which would work a lot better if you didn't have a measly one per level to spend, as a level where your HP is the lower it'll ever be. You'll be lucky to have more than two or three fights and your Cleric might spend one of their precious spells on healing anyway. Then, at later level, a single...

    Hmm... well, we could marry one of those situational bonuses with the Favored Foe ribbon abilities of knowing a new language and being good at knowledge checks? Let me see if I can come up with some new ideas... Favored Enemy Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying...

    where did you hear that? I think the 'colossus' in this case if you have one big enemy and you want to finish it off faster? I don't mind if the base class is boring and straightforward, makes it less complicated to run and you can throw in more flavour with ribbons and subclass. Too translucent?

    What if Hunter's Prey was in the base ranger instead of favored foe? Seems like it'd be cool. Add the 4 Prime Shot (you get a bonus to attacks if you are the closest to the target amongst your allies) and you'd have an interesting suite of abilities that are thematic to certain type of enemies...

    This seems like a huuuuge stretch. Nobody was playing like that in 2014. If nothing else, the Ranger is just a luckier victim of the Monk's design philosophy of 'cram as many legacy feaures as possible into the class and let them figure it out' with a side of 5e 'make everything fun a Spell'.
