    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble She stops at the odd noises, looking up as well. "You may be right, Halfling... Keep looking, and we'll search inside" With that being said, she steps foot into the inside ground of the keep, looking up at the walls. With a wave of her hand, she commands the squire to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Crashed flying cities/fortresses (maps/modules)

    Not for 5e (though it'd be as easy as just grabbing stats from the MM and applying them), but Broodmother Skyfortress has a neat little setting to perhaps use as a crashed flying fortress. It flies in the scenario, but you could totally re-tool it to be downed and crashed, with the enemies on it...

    Can you name a good fantasy TTRPG that's not D&D?

    Dungeon Crawl Classics for crazy, gonzo fun and awesome tables. Coolest Warrior and Wizard classes imo. Mausritter for playing as cute mice that face dangerous, often larger foes. Fun inventory system, too. Knave and Maze Rats for rules-light, more cool tables, and an interesting spell system...

    Talia, Mac, and Koby They make it up to the structure, looking around anxiously before deciding to walk through the open gates. Alice She hangs back to enter with the rear, fingers drumming against her leg while looking back at the corpses they left behind.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which played-out D&D trope needs to die?

    1st things 1st, your sister has good taste! 2nd, Battles against blood cultists, giant antmen that bloodily invade weddings, and delving beneath the earth and finding the lost city of brass! Those are the ones I've played, at least. I find it a lot more engaging to just. Do stuff that would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which played-out D&D trope needs to die?

    I've parted ways with the trope of "Low level adventurers start out taking care of small threats" very recently and it's been very fun. No more killing rats in basements or dealing with goblin/kobold warrens for me!

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble More grimacing. She's utterly disgusted by the sights before her, and her attention turns to the ruin standing close by. "Well. Nothing much else to say other than it's a pity those local boys were... I don't even know what happened there. But. We must persist. Onwards?"...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble She's glad to see everyone else is fighting, which gives her the courage to point at Mac with her longsword and shout, "I'll strike one from behind while you distract it from the front! En garde!" She stumbles forward a bit, but regains her footing and slashes out at the...

    In Defence of Chickens [IC]

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble Talia comes to a stop once the faces of some local peasants come in view. She feels her stomach turn, but keeps her chin up and approaches the corpses. "Most dreadful. I've never seen nor heard of anything like this before..." Talia is about to get closer for a look when...

    Talia Eastmoor, Noble Her boots sink into the muck, and a look of displeasure comes onto her face. Still, Talia steps up to investigate alongside Yolo Swaggins, a hand resting on her sword pommel. "Cover us. In a place like this, my senses tell me it's not safe to go alone..." "Fleetfoot" Mac...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    To answer the original question: No, if I were to run 5e I wouldn't allow Druids to wear metal armor. Instead, there will be Monster Hunter-esque quests to craft amazing monster armors with special powers, because Questing For It is awesome.

    D&D General In defence of Grognardism

    Those stats seem perfectly viable for people looking to make a risky dive for whatever reason into a completely dangerous ruin/cave/castle/etc. 10's average in most systems, with 8 being below average. I like to think a lot of the standard adventuring procedure comes not only from previous...

    D&D General In defence of Grognardism

    Could it be they're roleplaying seasoned adventurers and wary tomb robbers instead of naive child characters? Nothing wrong in roleplaying as a dungeoneer that'd rather come out of the dungeon with their life than with gold, as long as it gives them a chance to do it again.

    Can anyone give some information on the Dying Earth DCC rules set?

    Couple of videos here and here that might give some insight into it. Kinda long, but it's from the publishers themselves so I imagine they're pretty informative and that live play is probably good to check out just how the game runs!
