Glad to know this is liked! Coredump: your idea about the "counter" is brilliant. I'm not completely sold on the need to track it down, but we would do like you suggest if we feel it's becoming an issue. On the granularity...just not worth it for us, but it may be for others. Also, liking a...

This is something we thought but we decided to give the 2 cards to the PCs choosing the "alert" feat, otherwise we should also use 2 cards for very quick monsters...but it could be done, yes. You could also decide to give the 2nd card to characters or monsters who total a defined +X bonus to...

Yes and no. Characters stay the same. You only need an handful of "monster kind" near you to quickly prepare the deck each battle. Once you have one or two big creatures, one or two "mobs", one "death" for undead and so on you should be able with 10 or so monster kind to cover the full...

Hi all, I just wanted to share a different method we used last Friday to manage Initiative. It worked really well, better than expected, so I wanted to share it to see if someone else may enjoy it. It brings back the “initiative rolled each round” without the rolling & math part, and without...

Great idea, very intriguing...manipulation of the concentration mechanic would be a perfect starting point. It could also work the other way around (sorry if you already meant this) by having Psionics get different low-to-medium effect powers easily activable but all bound by the single...

To those more into the social media info flow: is there any word that one day the UA articles may see the light as a revised and collected crunch handbook like, you know, Unearthed Arcana? It would make sense I think, and it may explain those questions in the last D&D survey...

While this is true, in my experience psionics are a matter of hate or love by players and DMs: unless the gap is huge, and in that case I would agree with you, I don't think there will be a nobody-everybody want to play situation. Someone will love the concept, someone will hate it (and will...

I like psionics. Not in all campaigns, not for all players, but I think they clearly add something different, and after all they would still be optional. To me, what’s different about psionics is the flavor in which they are not a different kind of magic but something different, inherent to a...

I daresay I can just roll with it.

Undead is my hope, but any reasonable soul can see that it will probably be: AGAINST THE GROGNARDS A tale about choices where the heroes will need to choose which side to back or find a difficult diplomatic solution to the clash of two factions: the Old Powers who will wield terrible Save or...

Hi all, I just wanted to share an idea on what I would love to see in 5E support and see if I am alone in that camp. If you like this, say it here aloud, who knows, someone from WotC may be listening :o I am impressed from the amount of support every Pathfinder AP gets and I would like...

Fine EnWorld folks, Once again I ask for your advice. I’m thinking of setting up a sandbox campaign in which “exploration” will play a large role. I’d like to use one of the many very well done fantasy maps up there (any suggestion is appreciated, by the way. I’m looking for a self-enclosed...

Thank you all for your suggestions! A fine point Dausuul. I want to have a cap to the number of ammution just to keep it in line with the "common sense" thing, but I was never sure how much sense it made 30 arrows vs, say, 60. Actually you are right and it has never been an issue the number of...

Just a quick thought that just happened to me: as all of D&D settings are part of the big Multiverse, what if they are thinking of one single Multiverse Setting Book/Resource? As so many pointed out before me, there's one ton of "old" fluff setting material out there, some of it excellent in...

Just dropping in to add a quick question to the bunch: in your fine folk opinion, how many arrows should a character be allowed to bring along? I don't use any kind of encumbrance rules at my table different from common sense, do you think 30 is fair?

Not sure about the sister, but I do have some suggestions for the brother. I would have the crow suggest to the PC tactically sound advice on how to resolve things, but in such a way to cause collateral damage. As the crow can't speak, the hints won't be too generous in dictating what to do...

A graver point would be: is specialised thread necromancy allowed in a General RPG discussion under 5E?

Clear, thanks Kryx!

Thanks Kryx for your efforts. I keep hearing good things about RotRL so can I ask how your group found it boring? Was it due to too many combats or boring storyline or something else? Just asking because it may be a taste thing. For instance, while I enjoed much of Carrion Crawl I found ti...

Just saying...I'm also interested in this, I've always been fascinated by RotRL but I can't see my group playing it except on 5E rules. Also: anybody tried to run it on the fly in 5E with little or no upfront conversion? I did this with Carrion Crown and it ran fine, but we did not go to the...
