    D&D 5E (2014) Incubation time for dragon egg?

    I run a Greyhawk based campaign, with some homegrown elements, so a long timeline works best for me. A year and a half ago (real time) the characters rescued an NPC, last month they finally found out he is the heir to Furyondy lol. I like to plant plot elements early and let them mature...

    D&D 5E (2014) Incubation time for dragon egg?

    Well it will be a black dragon egg, so maybe I should start a nature/nurture thread! lol

    D&D 5E (2014) Incubation time for dragon egg?

    Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. (And trust me, it will actually hatch when dramatically appropriate lol)

    D&D 5E (2014) Incubation time for dragon egg?

    Not to go all Game of Thrones, but the party is about to run into a pair of mated black dragons, so I though it may be an interesting twist to have a dragon egg in the lair. What do people think would be a reasonable incubation time for a dragon egg? Turtles take about 3 months, chickens about...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sleep is not a save-or-die spell (minor rant)

    And why would you not just post this comment on that thread instead of starting a new one? Just sayin'

    D&D Goes to Work Part II: Professional Game Masters

    IIRC WotC hired that outside outfit to run adventurer's league games at GenCon. I wasn't particularly impressed with our GM as I had to tell him how to pronounce tons of words and describe most of the monsters to the other players for him since he was not familiar with them (e.g. Mephits). I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Access to Races in a Campaign

    I don't like to restrict player options if I can help it. I don't allow monster races, just official PC races. If a player came to me really wanting to play a non-standard race, I would consider it. It would mostly hinge on balance issues and may involve reworking some parts of the stat...

    D&D 5E (2014) Interaction guide for new players?

    I don't know of any offhand, but you may be experiencing something more related to party play style rather than interactions. There is no wrong way to play D&D. Some parties, especially younger players, like to "Bust down door, kill everything, repeat" and have a blast. On the other extreme...

    D&D 5E (2014) Clearly the biggest design flaw of 5e

    I always roll d8's and divide by 2. I hate rolling d4's. They don't really 'roll', they just 'plunk'.

    Ranger backstory/player help

    I assume you already found canonfire.com since your description matches their write up. Sometimes if you follow the references in the bibliography at the bottom of the entry you can find more specific details. I don't have access to my GH material right now, but I would be surprised if any...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give Me Three Reasons To Play Greyhawk

    1. http://ghmaps.net/greyhawk-maps/ Best resource evah! 2. If you like political campaigns, Greyhawk is the place. 3. It has just enough detail/lack of detail to be perfect for a sandbox campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    Jeremy stated that was the intent of the rule, but that is not the way he wrote the rules. Target reduced to zero HP's, it reverts to druid form. Target reduced to zero HP's, it is disintegrated. You aren't allowed to define 'target' one way in one ruling and another way in a second ruling and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    I can't believe this is 13 pages. Druid is dusted and dead. You could quibble over whether the dust is druid dust or bear dust, but does it really matter? Any other interpretation is just creative semantics. It reminds me of that investigation where Bill Clinton had his own definition for the...

    D&D Does Digital Part I: MUDs & MMORPGs

    How do you not include Gemstone III in this article? I had a roommate who dumped thousands of dollars into that when we were in college. IIRC, it was $6/hour to play + any dial up fees.

    D&D 5E (2014) Miniatures, or Theater of the Mind

    I played a Polearm fighter in Adventurer's League and it sort of sucked with TotM. I was thinking the 10' reach would give me lots of opportunity attacks and allow me to limit enemy movement, but it basically boiled down to whenever the DM figured it was appropriate (which wasn't often). It...

    Would You Get A D&D Tattoo?

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC over-thinking the Ranger?

    Re: Pets, I would prefer to see something like this - Through non-verbal cues, curt verbal commands, and gestures a ranger pet will act according to the rangers wishes. So long as the pet is able to see or hear the character, the Ranger can direct the pet to Attack, Defend a person or...
