    Good Television Mystery Series

    If you have access to UK series, I have enjoyed and re-watched Foyle's War (WW2 detective, on the home front in England) If you're open to more police-based things, for different reasons all of these are worth a try: Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes (police detective goes back to the 1970s...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    I'll move this to the OOC thread. If we could buy a Tenser's Floating Disk scroll (50gp?), and brought 50gp [of ink, I presume, though the way it's worded in the PHB it's the money that gets sewn into the spellbook] with 2 hrs work, the scroll could be written into the spellbook. Is this...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    "They could be here any day!" Tommi blurts, as the threat to this village hits him. He looks away and then back at the server: "Um, thanks," and he pays her then, tearing into a piee of cheese. Once she's gone, he lays out some possibilities with Lionel: -- they could steal a horse for...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    "That's too bad," Tommi says. "But I guess it makes sense. Are trolls coming here? Maybe there's something we can do to help... fend them off, or lure them away..." He wipes the from his lips as he asks. It's an instinct to offer to help. "Is that why everyone is so quiet?" Tommi asks, waving...

    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    It is interesting that the SRD 5.2 is issued only under Creative Commons, sidelining the OGL. Don't know what the wider implications are, but it seems to be a creator-friendly move.

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    "A couple of pints, please," Tommi said smiling. "And some cheese for my friend..." he adds, thinking the joke is funny. He takes out three silver pieces and places them on the table. When the drinks are delivered, he orders another round, and then says, "I was told it may be possible to buy a...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    Tommi thanks Sir Isteval for his advice and takes the small bag with coins inside. He had wanted to purchase the horses himself, so that he felt he was contributing to the expedition, but he also knew his mother would be upset if he disrespected the older man, and in Tommi's experience a lot of...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    [just to be clear: we're buying a horse and some pack animals, right?]

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    "I've got some cash." says Tommi. "I'm happy to go into town an grab a few horses. Anyone want to come with?" He runs his fingers through his hair. "No one knows me here. I'm not, um...." He leaves the thought incomplete. "I could meet you further down the road in a bit."

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Errata

    One nice thing about this release is its timing, especially given the personnel changes occurring at WOTC. By releasing the errata now (and by releasing the SRD now), the game is formally "up to date" and (more importantly) available before the departure of both Perkins and Crawford. If this...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    The Colonel posted first. Even with him now being ballooned around, he doesn't have an action this round.

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    Tommi usually is a fast walker, and his boots were dry, and so he kept walking ahead of the others, and waiting for them to catch up. Oh-Six dogged along beside him, sometimes zipping ahead of him. Tommi might have wondered if this was a subtle chastisement of his own habits, but Tommi isn't...

    D&D 5E (2024) The New Direct Damage Spells You Should Be Using.

    Sure, but that line of argument makes any discussion of rules pointless.

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    I do not believe there is any room for doubt as to what is being said in the PHB. The example given on p. 44 is of a Ranger 4/Sorc 3. That means you have two third-level slots available, but, as the text makes clear, you only have access to level 2 Sorcerer spells (as a Sorc 3), and level 1...

    D&D 5E (2024) The New Direct Damage Spells You Should Be Using.

    Which 2014 feat allows the taking of Hex? Magic Initiate did, but it has been re-written, and the rules don't allow you to take-the-version-you-want. The 2024 Feytouched feat does let you get Hex (along with Misty Step), which might be what they're thinking. He could have, but that then...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multiclassing: Slots and Prepared Spells

    But you're not a singe-classed Wizard. p. 44 on multiclassing says the multiclassing rules supercede once you've multiclassed.

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    Possibly if you ducked away, the bird would follow you and he could be shot out of sight of the giant. (?)
