    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    You guys are will hung up on the +1 thing. I would hope any DM would say something like "Magical sword". I was just short handing +1 as to what the DM would likely give plus what the players might expect at low levels.

    Friend Computer: “Troubleshooter, a sword is an unauthorized weapon. Friend Computer has provided you with authorized items. This can only mean you are incompetent or a traitor. Perhaps a mutant who just loves sharp objects? Perhaps you are just unhappy? Obviously defective.” wall hatch...

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    But you could assume that “a magic sword” is probably low level to suit your low level PC.

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    Would you be disappointed if the "the lost sword of King Grergic" was a mere +1 sword?

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    You are fresh level 1 characters. You are playing in a sandbox style game. You have many options to explore. Caves and temples and whatever. Riches and glory and treasure no matter where you go. One rumor says a cave full of monsters has a magic (+1) sword hidden somewhere inside. Is it...

    Showdowdark Class Design: The Paladin! Live with Kelsey Dionne.

    I like the named sword but it's so hard to make something like that work in a D&D type game because there is always another and better magic sword around the corner. I'd probably allow the Paly to transfer the magic from a found sword to his Named Blade or something.

    D&D 5E (2014) The BG3 Effect. Control and Paralyzing 5.5 Meta?

    Without knowing how many enemies / CR your DM throws at the group I can't really respond. But via the DMG standard battles aren't that rough. Even Deadly is kind of joked about. Not to mention official 5th ed adventures generally being a cake walk without the DM changing things up. I've been...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    Nightvale is so wacky it can literally be anything and it works. I can definitely see some odd event there that makes people "level up". Anything goes in Nightvale. I mean next your going to tell me that corn isn't imaginary.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    Again my feelings are biased having played the regular version first. When I played the D20 version it felt like I was playing a super weak D&D character. IDK, it just felt wrong. I also think pretty much any not D&D/Fantasy RPG should stay away from "levels". Heck, I'm at a point where I...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    You are the first person I have ever seen say CoC D20 was good. I whole heartedly disagree, and I bought it day one. Much like WoD D20 it was just... not good. Then again I had played regular CoC (and WoD), and all I saw in those books was D&D. They only D20 system that I thought worked was...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    As big a franchise as Potter is and how they are not ashamed to slap their logo on any kind of product (Harry Potter the Flame Thrower!) I am actually shocked there hasn't been an official Potter RPG in the past 20 years.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    Honestly, there are so many genre's that are lacking I'd sigh be happy for a D20 5E style version. Like Mass Effect. Why is there not an official Mass Effect RPG? I love Shadowrun but god do I hate it's system. The Anarchy version is the way to go but it lacks a lot. a NEW WHEEL OF TIME...

    WotC WotC (Mistakenly) Issues DMCA Takedown Against Baldur's Gate-themed Stardew Valley Mod

    D&D 5E (2014) The BG3 Effect. Control and Paralyzing 5.5 Meta?

    As a DM to make peace with 5E and 5.5 you just have to realize that the player characters are vastly overpowered. Add in people who want to Minmax and well... you just have to live with it or convince them to try a different edition or game. It took me a long time to learn that 5E isn't 3rd or...

    Perhaps the Paly could have a stat requirement. Like must roll a 14 CHA to play a Paly.

    Shadowdark Western Reaches Stretch Goal: New Classes

    Not to mention SD is really a dungeon crawler. Even in D&D how often does mounted combat come up? It’s just a nice extra for the Paly that will rarely see use (mostly in random overland travel fights)

    Shadowdark Western Reaches Stretch Goal: New Classes

    I like her take on it. It’s like her Ranger. It’s not bog standard D&D converted to SD. It’s based on actual lore or the defining story character they are meant to represent. Like modern D&D Ranger is based more on WoW than Aragorn.
