True! Dungeon brawls are a sometimes food.

For sure! You gotta keep a close eye or end up with a TPK.

First of all, thanks for your service. Second of all, thanks for the real world knowledge. I love the half hang back the other half check it out idea! Makes perfect sense!

I know that superpowers are not for everyone in a D&D game. They're game-breaking for sure, but if they are for you, they can be a lot of fun. Here's my idea for implementing superpowers in my game. To get them the PCs must risk their sanity and their lives! Let me know what you think...

So I made some new fantastical mounts for my homebrew world and I thought I'd share them here as well since there's a PDF you can download these new beasties in. Let me know what you think of them. http://worldbuilderblog.me/2015/02/24/release-the-mounts/

So I'm thinking in my homebrew world there are places where other planes are so close to the Material Plane that weird magical effects take place. Let me know what you think of my rules for these overlap zones and if you have any suggestions/tweaks...
