I once noped out of session zero when the DM told the group that any roll of a 1 (on any die) caused bad things to happen to you, up to and including death. Get naughty word rolls on a fireball or sneak attack could literly kill you character! The guy show something like 8 pages of charts to determine...

A Dwarven Swashbuckler Rogue who's preferred tactic was to saunter up to her enemies and drag one of them off for some alone time with Mister Sting. There was a whole bee theme going on (nobleman's daughter who's main export was honey mead). Prioritized Strength, Constitution, and Charisma; in...

@atanakar God I wish it was once a month. It's every day for a year... and if you miss a day you gotta start over.

What @LordEntrails says is true. Also, the spell Glyph of Warding (3rd level) does everything you want, but would need to be recast each time it was activated. The Ward lasts until triggered, dispelled, or destroyed/moved +11ft (in the case of an item).

I'm having a blast playing in a Sunless Citadel as the Half-Orc "Nimrod", the Strongest Wizard ever. Abjuration Wizard 4 / Barbarian 2. He has Str 17 / Dex 15 / Con 16 / Int 6 / Wis 8 / Cha 8. Picked up Keen Mind for first ASI. It really bothers one of my fellow players that the dumb as a brick...

I enjoy building characters. Generally I build to 10-13 level since it is around there the the campaign dies and a new one picks up. For everyone I have played, I've built 5 more. Some are optimized, but the majority are built around a theme. Like the Halfling Summoner I played who devoted 3/4...

I'm sorry you feel that way, but how in the world do think your comment contributes positively towards this thread. On Topic: Not mine, but a friend once ran a Half-Orc Barbarian 2 / Wizard (???) 12. In game, the character's Intelligence was a 5 until she picked up Keen Mind at 6th level...

Favorite thus far was a Variant Human Inquisitive Rogue 4 / The Raven Queen Warlock 4 / Lore Bard 6. Took the feats Actor, Observant, Keen Mind and Prodigy. Used Point Buy for stats, focusing on Cha, Wis, Int. He was a master of disguise (Actor + Mask of Many Faces), super observant (proficiency...

Xanathar is dead. We slipped into his Arena without a fight. Unsurprisingly, our magical disguises got undone and Xanathar started to monologue. I got in a, "Shut up Blinky." Next round I loudly declared my rapier to be dubbed "Beauty"... and promptly got paralyied for the rest of the fight. My...

Long story short, my character witnessed Xanathar in an embarrassing moment. Months later, my character wrote a play where the main character (a villain) experiences a never ending string of embarrassing moments. most of which were inspired by the various enemies and allies during my parties...

My group switched from Facebook shortly before 2016. We've been using an PC/Android/IPhone app called Slack. While it's meant for business use, the free version provides everything we need to plan group gatherings, PMs, etc.

Between reading the playtest and glancing through the finished product, it gives me a strong 4E vibe, which wasn't my cup of tea. However, if a friend wants to run a game, I'll be happy to give it a try

Before life forced us to play online, everyone brought and shared food and drink. Typically, the host provided the loin's share of the "meal" that night. If an actual meal was going to be made, people would either bring ingredients or help pay for them. Everyone also would usually bring...

I tried watching the first season. Got about 10 episodes in before I got too frustrated with basically jumping to the middle of a story. So I started watching second season. Around episode 20 I was completely board with the show. Everybody was fun and the story thus far was interesting, but I...

I like a lot of the reason listed already. Also, you can always use the banning of various technology. Certain worlds, empires, federations, etc may ban technology due to: [1] The source: hostile world(s), illegal practices (like slavery labor), trade embargo from allies. [2] The technology is...

Google Hangout might be what you want. You'll need to switch between whichever camera you want to focus on, which means you'll be missing things, but there are not a lot of options. Having additional monitors for you to look at would reduce this problem, but not fully alleviate it. Google...

1.) How many players in your group? | 2.) Do you DM? | 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? [1-3] Usually there are seven of us in my group. Everyone DMs, though not all of us DM for the group. One likes to run games at her local gaming store and two others with their own local...

Yeah... coming from an mmo is a completely different head space than pen and paper rpgs. Sounds like your group is fine. I'd still try and convince the group to invest in some more shared healing items, but I wouldn't worry too much about filling in those "missing" roles. Wish I had mentioned it...

There's a significant difference between being a healer and a dedicated healer. What sets the two apart is how many resources you allocate to healing; spell slots, feats and magic items (your personal items, not group items like wand of cure). When I play a healer (which I currently am), I...
