Good idea. Great idea in fact.

Good ones! Though I'd still like to see Castle Amber. Tough sell but I'd be there for it.

Until the pit trap is triggered by 50# of weight.

If the light trick is something a party thinks they may way to use going into a dungeon, someone should grab a sling. Simple weapon, 120 foot long range, light can be cast on the bullet.

If they stopped moving and are hiding in the dark, that's a perception check at -5 no matter how you describe it. Same goes for a trap you're about to enter that's hard to spot. -5 to perception check to spot it can kill you. It's the major reason darkvision isn't reliable. It's basically a...

Your -5 perception check to see stuff with darkvision will doom you if your DM bothers to use it and play the monsters well. They have full cover before you come around the corner clonking in your armor, so monsters usually take the hide action when they hear you. Now your darkvision gives them...

Darkvision kind of sucks. The penalty to perception checks means you miss so much with it, and the range just straight out cuts off what you hit that range. We pretty much have to use light all the time when exploring a dungeon. Which makes all those classes that have abilities that only work in...

I am currently listening to The Dublin Trilogy by Caimh McDonnell. The title of the series is an intentional joke as there are 8 books in just the first series and two other spinoff series. These are comedic thrillers set in Ireland featuring a police officer (member of the Garda) and two...

It's harder but there are some good new books. I really enjoyed The Stranger Times series by C.K McDonnell. Modern urban fantasy with a lighter side sense of humor. Irish author living in Manchester. Theme is essentially "What if some of the paranormal and strange stories of a tabloid like the...

I really enjoyed that. Classic Jack Vance.

I've thought about picking that series up. I really like the He Who Fights With Monsters series by Shirtaloon and I have repeatedly heard people who like that series also like the Carl series.

It is not a good time right now in Hollywood. For screenwriters or otherwise.

It Ends With Us was #17...which was based on the novel of the same name. #18 was an Aliens movie, then #19 is Wild Robot...which is based on the novel of the same name. #20 is a Quiet Place sequel, 21 a Garfield movie, 22 a Joker movie, 23 a Ghostbusters movie, 24 is IF, which is, finally, an...

I think Wyll is awesome. Yes, I fully understand I am in the vast minority in that opinion and I am fine with that.

You don't need a citation for people shopping at Amazon :)

It is not. It came out just before she says she wrote the first glimmerings of the first book, in 1990 in the UK. It includes a dark-haired English boy with glasses, who discovers his potential as the most powerful wizard of the age upon being approached by magic-wielding individuals, the first...

I don't think Rowling tracks to Tolkien. HOWEVER, Rowling tracks pretty darn closely to the Books of Magic comic series about Timothy Hunter, and the Worst Witch series. I am not saying she ripped them off. Just that there are some close similarities.

I disagree with your opinion on this topic and frankly I am outraged you'd say that. Outraged I say! What were we talking about again?

It seems to me dual wielding daggers will be a very useful combo with nick and a monk, and the daggers do your monk damage die rather than their normal d4. Particularly a shadow monk, which can benefit from advantage on all their attacks in their darkness. I am not convinced you need to...

No, you cannot get an actual new edition. This one is selling extraordinarily well for them (more PHBs sold each year than were sold in the entire lifetime of 3e), expanded the audience hugely, and so they will stick with it for a long time. They never once said it was intended to be a next...
