    D&D 5E (2014) (+)What Ubiquitous DnD Tropes Get It Totally Wrong?

    LE does fit for a tyrant; just because they think they're good rather than evil doesn't mean they are good, it just means they have no clue what their alignment really is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e "Easy Mode?"

    If you want to insist on that in your game, then go ahead (and I'm sure your players will be glad of it). If you're looking to try to argue the ludicrous case for it or persuade anyone, then you're barking up the wrong tree. Sorry.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e "Easy Mode?"

    Are there still people claiming that to be true? There was a long-running thread about this very thing here and only a couple of people still tried to claim that this was the case despite all the evidence to show it was wrong. Any combat interrupts your long rest, not a 600 round combat. That...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Despite their idiot fascist leader, Brazil might actually come through relatively safely; the regional governors are ignoring him and calling for fairly strict measures in the main, and the street gangs are conducting curfews in their areas. It comes to something when hardcore street gangs are...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Labels" and D&D Gaming

    Google "megadungeon." They're out there, and selling in quite large numbers. And that's only one form of multi-year campaign. If you don't just play D&D, you'll find other much longer campaigns out there too (Pelgrane tend to do them for their games, the best campaigns in the world by popular...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Yes, if you look state by state it gives relevant info and dates on various measures, when they're slated to be lifted, etc.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections 80k US deaths is the midrange, you can adjust to see individual states too. So yes, quite a few more times the current death total in the U.S. alone. You can dismiss that as sensationalism if you like, but you might do better to educate yourself...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e the Least-Challenging Edition of D&D?

    No, it doesn't affect my games one iota whether or not you enjoy it. I just thought that you might get some happiness out fo playing something you enjoy instead of whining. If you're happier doing that tthan enjoying yourself, then go for it, I guess. I also never said that it was remotely...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e the Least-Challenging Edition of D&D?

    Sounds like 5e isn't the game for you then. Luckily, there are still thousands of other games out there, so you're sure to be able to find one that is right for you, which you can then spend your time playing as a constructive endeavour rather than waste your time on the 5e threads complaining...

    My COVID19 Journey

    As a Torontonian who spent the weekend in hospital for emergency surgery, I can assure you that the shutdown is not the worst of two evils. I share your views on Ford et al and think this really shows the need for functioning adults in government, but without a shutdown, things here would turn...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB p73 runic tapestry illustration: meaningless, wasted opportunity

    It's not Latin, it's Lorem ipsum (Google it), a thing that printers use as a placeholder for other text to come later, or just to show what the text should look like.

    Neo-liberalism is a conservative doctrine, not a liberal one (despite the name). The neo- prefix is the important part.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    The way they're doing it on Ontario (or at least Toronto) is that if you go to the hospital for an emergency (non-emergencies aren't being dealt with, like routine surgery etc), you get tested before they admit you, and you have to wait while they get your results. I know, because I had to get...

    D&D 5E (2014) Critique my new custom backgrounds

    Thanks Ace. I followed the examples of some of the official ones in that they offer a choice (Cloistered Scholar, Faction Agent, Inheritor, Knight of the Order, Urban Bounty Hunter - all from SCAG). I should have mentioned that for Thassilonian, as a long-dead and very complex language with lots...
