    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter Balance holds back 5E

    Given that WotC first released the OGL in 2000, and their more recent turn to CC, I think this claim is mostly malarkey.

    [BoL] Any Barbarians of Lemuria (Mythic) players to answer questions?

    Good idea, i'll poke around. I know there's a (slow) FB page, and a (very slow) associated forum; and some once active forum threads that have petered out over the years. Plus quite a bit in French... but my French is 20 years rusty, so not sure how fruitful that will be. I'm just 10 years too...

    [BoL] Any Barbarians of Lemuria (Mythic) players to answer questions?

    I did the same thing, too, heh. Glad I looked deeper, though, because it really does seem like it's great lightweight system for scratching the S&S itch. As it happens, there's a boon called "Power of the Void" that explicitly grants 2AP, which is exactly what you suggest. I'm considering that...

    [BoL] Any Barbarians of Lemuria (Mythic) players to answer questions?

    I played a couple one shots of BoL a few years ago, and really enjoyed it. I've only really started delving into the game in the last week or so, and already have some questions. Are there any people around who play and willing to give some input? Thanks! 1. BoL Forum? Is there a fairly active...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I mean, yeah, one could put corn on pizza, but that would defeat the whole purpose of a solar can opener, wouldn't it?

    Man, lots of banjo hate in this thread. I can't express how disappointed I am right now.

    D&D General Monastaries in dungeons and dragons

    What?? Your group never spends the first three hours of a four-hour session shopping for hats and picnic supplies?

    Ah, suddenly I can see the numbers and a little crowns on the winners. Also it appears the post order is sortable by votes as well as by time. Now it makes sense!

    Test

    Not sure what I'm supposed to see, if anything. Yesterday, I voted banjos up and dragons down, and I can still see both those votes in their respective posts. But there's no other indication of others' votes anywhere afaict. Is only the OP meant to see the results? or are the posts supposed to...

    Blog or Newsletter?

    I'm the reverse, preferring weekly-ish to monthly-ish newsletters. I almost never visit a blog unless there's something specific mentioned in a newsletter that catches my eye. So.... Have you considered doing the blog AND sending out a newsletter with a brief recap of whatever you did on the...

    RPG Evolution: The First Nightmare

    Can someone recommend any RPGs that do dreams well, either as a subsystem or as the main focus of the system itself?

    The Ethics of Two Way Ignore

    It's certainly an interesting perspective when a school yard bully says, "That kid ignored me and forced me not to take his lunch money!"

    Reporting suspicious new user bots

    Will do. I'll stick to reporting based on visible behaviors rather than suspicious language. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Reporting suspicious new user bots

    Often when a bot joins, it has a telltale sign that violates TOS (eg, inappropriate links, logos in profile/avatar, hidden links, etc), so it's easy to flag. Yesterday, though, i noticed one join that I'm 99% certain is a bot (gut feeling, based on likely AI gen text), but it hasn't done...

    Trailer Tales of the Shire - Announcement Trailer

    Oh my.... Some enterprising company should make a resource management game focused on running a hobbit kitchen. Stocking, cooking, cleaning during all all the different meals all day, everyday. Feast days, broken crockery, changing seasons, pesky snackers, late deliveries, rampaging party...

    Trailer Tales of the Shire - Announcement Trailer

    The inevitable sequel is to be named "The Scouring of the Shire," wherein all the lovely things built during the first part are crushed by Saruman and his minions.

    That would revolutionize the whole of modern civilization. And also crash the economy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Potential Monsters in Quests from the Infinite Staircase Adventures

    The 10th Level of Hell consists of an infinite dungeon full of nothing but pun-based monsters and traps.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    There could be a [DUEL] tag, wherein each involved poster chooses a faithful second and moves their argument to the mutually named thread at dawn, marches ten paces, turns, and shoots their mouths off.

    Pale Blue Dot, Revisited

    Exactly. I think a focus on insignificance misses the important half of the point. The quote concludes: "To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." Yes, Earth is little, and so...
