    D&D 5E (2014) It Took Us a Nearly a Year to Complete "When a Star Falls"

    I own it, but have not run it since maybe 1988. . . there is a 5E adaptation of it in Quests from the Infinite Staircase, but I have not spent any time with it.

    I think he identified a little too much with the gibberlings.

    D&D 5E (2014) It Took Us a Nearly a Year to Complete "When a Star Falls"

    Recently, my "Primordial Evil" campaign (an in-person group that meets until recently met every 3 to 5 weeks for 5 hours, but now meets every 3 weeks for 3 hours) completed my own conversion of UK4 - When a Star Falls (using the QftIS version to fill in blanks when I finally got my hands on it)...

    D&D General The Enmity of a Devil (brainstorm help)

    I did and I found it wanting. 🤷‍♂️ I also didn't much like the example fiends. I wish they had info about using existing ones and fewer new ones. I ended up going with a Horned Devil I named "Kakoskaratos" (inspired by kakistocracy). I gave him a few more alias and roles and connected a...

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    By Issek, I loved that book! I somehow ended up with two copies of it and then somehow lost both. :(

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    I may use other monster books but I never actually need another monster book.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It is either a sign of the apocalypse or doesn’t mean anything at all, just another Tuesday. Nothing in between.

    D&D General The Enmity of a Devil (brainstorm help)

    So recently, the PCs in my home group drew some cards from the Deck of Many Things, and one of them drew the FLAMES card, garnering "the enmity of a devil." Unfortunately, in another example of the limited practical utility of the Book of Many Things, there is not much guidance for what this...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I just ran into Joe Manginello at the local ice cream shop. I gave him the chin jut but I didn’t want to interrupt his time with family (he grew up near here and went to the same HS as my wife). I did want to say I was sad his Dragonlance project fell through, but refrained.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Ah! In other words, the pit of despair. If I am not climbing out of it at some point in painting a mini something is definitely wrong. 😂

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    If we define racism as a group (or groups) in social and economic power systematically exploiting a segment of society either intentionally or unintentionally in order to maintain that power and potentially extract resources from that subgroup, whose purported negative traits are believed to be...

    Toying with initiative - phased and segments

    My old 2E group used speed factors and casting time, but just added them to the d10 roll and then counted up. (I can't even remember anymore if that was just the rule in 2E or something we modified). I vaguely remember a rule about going at the end of the round if you changed your declared...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you seen "Squished Leveling" in DND?

    I kept 6th through 9th level spells in the form of class abilities that allow the spell caster to access them at a cost and/or risk and/or responsibility. And usually can only be used once per long rest (depending on the specific class/form of access) Bard: Songs of Power Cleric: Quest Spells...

    D&D General Prep is Not Play. . . Or is it?

    One thing I probably should have mentioned is that when I first posted this thread my daughter had not even been conceived, let alone born yet. I definitely played fewer sessions in the first two years of her life, but I still managed to keep two games going and started squeezing in 20 to 40...

    D&D General Prep is Not Play. . . Or is it?

    I think that potential disconnect of interest is part of the reason why keeping a playful attitude (there is probably a better/academic word for how I am using "playful" here) during prep is a way to engage that interest on the part of the GM, without forcing it onto players who are not as...
