Page 145-146 of the physical book. described quite like the BG3 Withers, but this one is an Omuan wight made by Acererak, wearing a bronze mask.

In the AD&D 2e era, when the monk and assassin were removed from the PHB, in 1999 TSR released The Scarlet Brotherhood and published a 2e version of both Monk and Assassin. Assassin was tagged a rogue class, Monk was tagged a priest class.

I’m guessing the new phenom game called Palworld. If so, I’ve heard it described as Pokemon with guns.

great appreciation for pointing out that multiclassing has held back 5e game design. I would love to read Mike tackling an alternative that offers the fantasy people use multiclassing to achieve but not turn every class level of every class into a cafeteria menu.

I think the Unstoppable is a number of attacks that are converted to zero effect. My memory is the harder difficulties have more Unstoppable points. Just like one crit smite takes one away. But that each Magic Missile takes away one Unstoppable point, five missiles = five Unstoppable. I...

Another reason I started shoving in the second run was that I had enough cognitive load already, adding shoves and weapon dipping and controlling reaction asking and alchemy brewing… on top of handling 6-9 characters and each new thing they got with leveling … I only had mental room for so much...

I had a Fear Of Missing Loot and only shoved when I needed to step back to avoid AoO, or when I could get to the body later (like out to the street below). In the second run I had a good idea who had loot I might care about and shoved much more. I even shoved allies to get them into/out of...

My first and second playthrough both took about 200 hours. I just wanna find every side quest and do everything.

I can understand the common feeling of a discordant tone shift after Moonrise/Nightsong then into Act3/Rivington. The tone shift might be like grinding gears in a normal modern CRPG, but I’ve had TTRPG games have big tone shifts as destinations change or we hit new tiers of play. In that way...

IMO a reasonable place for the horn to get them to show up might be that gnoll/flind fight if you want to kill the flind and not just dominate it, or the githyanki attack on the Risen Road bridge where Voss first appears then flies off. The Goblin courtyard partying maybe?

Trying to recall, but I am highly certain I tried getting the warhorn to call the ogres but could neither get them to answer the horn unless I was in the starting map. Neither the mountain pass nor the Underdark got a response. I think the horn blows but someone chimes up with something like...

Finished my second play through of BG3. Thought about a Dark Urge run as a paladin but I’m likely going to pause a while. Today I just bought Wasteland 3 to try another genre of isometric CRPG.

Matt’s Patreon has been a vehicle for paying for the Arcadia magazine. He has been very well aware of the practice of people to sign up for something for a month just to download everything then cancel. That those .pdfs then end up on pirating websites. He’s also of the strong opinion that most...

looks like it. In the “How We Test“ chapter, around the 33:40 mark.

I know I watched him say it explicitly in a video.

I’ve long had a deep affection for Greyhawk, helped run the Shield Lands region’s triad in the Living Greyhawk era, and I took my name as a nod towards doing an extended project mapping the Flanaess (which you can see hosted on my Deviant Art page). I am more or less a fan of most TSR’s old...

I’ve hard a soft spot for Rune, by Robin D. Laws. A ttrpg of the video game Rune, a video game about Viking mayhem. It seems that the Ars Magica system was adjusted for a pure melee-focused game. I had a long period of grabbing all Viking-themed material and I played (and loved!) the video...

There were so many potions of speak with animals my monk never ran out.

Started my account May 2002, but I was a lurker for a while before then mostly getting in on the 3e rumor mill. Learned to keep my posts safe for Eric’s grandma.

I’m sure when the first exposure has an affect for some. I would say that the 3E hardback was an excellent achievement and is a great starting resource for some! I started with the gray box, hoarded every accessory all the way through the end of the 3E era. By the end, my appreciation to the...
