If you feel the need to take this down Morrus, I'll understand, but I want to add this precursor that I'm actually trying to be very informative here, and not demeaning in any way. A lot of people are being misled at the moment by certain things out there. Make sure you know the charity you...

As opposed to give you lengthy descriptions, I can just point out my two all-time favorite layouts for settings: Numenera (the original core book) And Ptolus I list both of these as examples of layout, not necessarily my favorite settings for flavor, etc. - I just really found the books to be...

A long time before Monte Cook launched Numenera, I followed his blog. He went through a period of time where he was so absolutely sick of all the negativity on the internet. This was well before the super explosion of politics and all that extra negativity - just the general negativity the...

I can get this. The only material I'm even remotely interested in buying for 5e are complete rule expansions. Tactical Combat development, add-on modules, and the like. I've no interest in playing within the same ruleset content, already enough of that.

My state only has a population of 4.4 million, but our median teacher income is 54k annually with a median state income of only 27k. To say teachers are underpaid in the ENTIRE U.S. is a drastically blown out of proportion proposition that is perpetuated in misrepresented media. My wife, in...

Hah - I actually use Common Sense Media myself to see if excess nudity or sex is going to appear in a movie. I have no particular issues with it, as in I'm not a crusader against it, I just have zero interest in -watching- it.

Began playing in 89, so after the major religious problems with the game, but ironically the largest support for the game we found, came from the catholic household of my highschool best friend's parents. They were devout catholic and allowed us to use their house for gaming, knowing full well...

The core mechanic works well, and the rules light allows it to be very modular based on the setting we're playing in at any given point in time. We rewrite any given section to suit our needs of the moment. Example; Science Fiction setting, we use Skill Point distribution to a wider list of...

There's a few of them, most of them are more about adding character options (the Talent options, for example). I'm talking more about adding rules for different ways to approach tactical combat in this particular thread. Then again, I've not been to the DM's guild in many months, so I suppose...

Pretty darned frequently. Since I started playing in 89, Vancian was never really our favorite magic system. Any excuse to get away from it, for anyone who wanted to delve into the realm of spell slinging, was a good one. 2e and 3e psionics were both quite fun, at least at our table. For 5e...

This isn't a terrible complaint. WoTC (or at least the DM's Guild) could make some serious money off little nitpick things like this. A massive item list with sane prices for 5E, more detailed curse/affliction/detect magic style rules. Add to that, more detailed tactical options. All of...

I've stared at this reply blank for nearly 30 minutes trying to figure out the words to express my feelings over this matter without seeming offensive to someone somewhere because of how politics are tied to this whole situation. From across the pond, I can't fathom that level of restriction at...

None of us. My state was pretty casual about the lockdown, only restricting congregations of greater than 9 people, so D&D continued on as normal.

Will be getting my pdf tomorrow as soon as the site lets me. If I like what I see there, I'll definitely be checking out TRAILseeker. Sounds like a fun day indeed!

Hah - you're not far off from me. I'm 38, and began playing when I was 8 - in 1989. This November will mark my 30th year of playing Dungeons and Dragons. Now, the first set I ever bought was the 2E boxed set, but before I actually owned anything, I played with Mr. D who still used his old...

Might just give this a watch - thanks for the highlights and point-out!

First of all, thank you! I've been considering for a while making a post of all the houserules we use, just to share with everyone. As a Reaction when the defender, or an adjacent ally would be hit (so after a hit is declared), the defender can use his shield to reduce the incoming damage by...

When we ran popcorn, I used a simple graph chart for durations. Initiative order 1 - X, 1 being the first slot, and X being the last. Any time a duration was created, it was marked on the Initiative Count it was invoked, and then went away based on that count of the next round, regardless of...

Hilariously, we came up with this rule while discussing why no one ever took the fighting style. As I mentioned recently in another thread, when we use 5e at home, it is pretty much just a system backbone. We've tweaked so much, and this is one of the first things to go. Having to waste a...
