So literally the entire spectrum of movie tones. He literally said the entire scale. Thanks for that worthless bit of information I guess? sigh This is why it annoys me that they always interview actors and directors but never the writers who actually know wtf they are talking about. See for...

I hope. It would be the one UA/recent news related to the setting I'd actually be excited to see.

My only thoughts on why the letting the players pick which phase isn't a terrible idea? It does make it a heck of a lot easier to track. That moon chart is a nightmare to keep track of and we all know it. o_O At the risk of weighing in on the heated kender topic, I do see the merits of some...

Honestly I'm torn with the sorcere subclass. On the one hand it is very thematic and cool mechanically, but one the other it feels very much like they are going to do exactly what I worry they will with the lore: pretty much wipe the slate clean of the 3.5 lore changes. First, I don't think...

The problem with this is twofold: only one class has sorcery points without a feat, the sorcerer, which if you follow the actual canon lore, is explicitly not effected by the moons. Hell it was even discovered during a time period where the three moons weren't there and is even considered...

I'm not surprised to be honest. I pitched the setting as heroic setting where people fought on dragon back and described it to them as "star wars, but medieval and with dragons instead of the force". One of my party tends to favor martials and really wanted to give the echo knight a spin while...

You're basically describing Savage Worlds. It's another game that's been around for quite awhile and is perfect for those who want a more rules-light cinematic game. It might be that D&D 5e just isn't the game for some and there's no shame in that.

The way I handle this in my current campaign is as follows: I define all casters in the setting as either "Focused" (they gain their powers from an external source) or "Primal" (internal spark of chaos). Basically it's a slight tweak from the "cannon" but it makes the classes broadly speaking...

I am currently playing a character with fast healing in a Ravnica game. I'm playing a Simic Hybrid and the DM let me switch out both racial "adaptations" for it at level 5. The mechanics we use are that I regain hit points at the start of my turn equal to my proficiency bonus, so long as I have...

Honestly with all the new statblocks updated I care far more about getting updated monster cards rather than books. Those things are a godsend when running a fight with multiple monsters and until I get the new statblocks in that form I'm significantly less likely to them.

This is more or less a good summary of what happened both in and out of setting, at least without really getting into the details. I happen to be one of the fans of the Fifth Age/Age of Mortals. Overall it brought the game into a more updated ruleset and did a great deal to fix a lot of the...

It's downright blasphemous to not see Jergal's name on a list of names all involved in a deathmatch and his story about giving up his power due to boredom is amusing. He gets all the upvotes in my will. Instead... Auril 24 Azuth 16 Chauntea 29 Deneir 14 Ilmater 32 Kelemvor 19 Lathander 23 - 2 =...

I'm well aware of the existence of larps and groups akin to Dagorhir and the like and I have been to several myself. What those groups also do is NOT tend to even have stats for characters because the assumption is that one physical and mental abilities are determined by the player. They are...

Pretty sure that's just called "being a player". resigned DM noises

I mean, it's a much more apt name for my games to be sure. I've been playing d&d with the same group for 5 years now and we've ran what I'd call a "dungeon" maybe a handful of times.

This still doesn't address my core concern from earlier then: how to you propose you avoid punishing players who are not naturally charismatic? Why should an autistic or socially anxious player be effectively barred from playing a charisma character when we don't require the fighter to actually...

And you are welcome play as you wish. It is hardly a magic bullet by any means, merely a way for the players to check with me to assess if they think an NPC might be lying. My players don't ask to roll a check, they merely are expressing what they wish to do in character and I simply ask for the...

A couple of things could answer this: 1) Spells (aside from cantrips which are limited in scope/power) come at a resource cost where as ability checks do not. Something like a dominate person spell means the party isn't eating a powerful aoe damage spell and in 5e also often uses the caster's...

The thing about rules though, they are a useful metric and tool for keeping the game running balanced and fair with at least some sort of stakes being possible. The rules are there to make it so one a## of a player doesn't just go "I just poke the dragon and make it's head explode and then go...
