    D&D 5E (2014) The Honkonomicon

    (I have no connection to the authors) I saw this on the DM's Guild. Production values look good, and it's certainly amusing. Apparently it made silver status (in the 3 digit order count) within 48 hours. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/432420/Honkonomicon I like it and want to get it, but I...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    Do we really need yet another romance subplot cluttering up the story? IMO most movies would be better without it. This one was.

    D&D General Classic Monsters - Retired Roll Call?

    Monsters I have used from the OP list: Black Pudding - I put it in Castle Dracula (Castlevania) in a stream in the forest. Gelatinous Cube - showed up in a couple of low level modules. Mimic - In the Mage Tower module on DM's Guild. Player took off his helmet and put his ear next to the door to...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    That was the other players at the table piling on with made-up lore because Edgin's character rolled a natural 1 on his knowledge check. Looking at the movie from a meta perspective like that excuses almost all of the nitpicks and it's kinda fun.

    (5e) Against the Idol of the Sun (high level, hexcrawl)

    The campaign is posted for sale on the DM's Guild! 296 pages total, NOT including the campaign log. The preview packet includes a lot, including the campaign log up to Session 40. I'll update it with the full log once we're done, which should be around Session 43. Session 41: 4/1/2023 The...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    It's definitely an ensemble piece based around a group going on an adventure. A movie like this lives or dies on the characters, and they executed successfully. General Thoughts SO many "D&D player crazy" plans. There were several moments where I went "Ok, that's the DM escalating the...

    D&D 5E (2014) NPCs-on-a-page?

    Basically, yes.

    D&D 5E (2014) NPCs-on-a-page?

    Yeah, that's one NPC though. I'm trying to get a chart to build most of them out for combat purposes. Creating PC-like statblocks with a few class features is a bit slower than monsters... although casters are worst of course.

    D&D 5E (2014) NPCs-on-a-page?

    Most here are probably familiar with the "Monster Manual on a single page" tool put together by Blog of Holding. Before I re-invent something, has anyone seen a "NPC statblocks on a single page" type tool? My concept is to include the base statistics we should see in a short chart: "Level" HP...

    D&D 5E (2014) How broken is Long Death Monk at 11th level or higher?

    Yep, Zealot Barb gets this in a much better form.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feat Valuation - A Community Experiment?

    A forum poll is probably not the best way to do this. I'd go for a longer survey that lists all of the feats (preferably with a summary to help voters remember accurately), with the ability to use radio buttons to rate each feat on a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 being best and 1 being worst. Once you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ruling Question on Shapechanger & Hold Person

    Its statistics, other than its size, have not changed. It is still an aberration and the spell fails.

    D&D Movie/TV Update: new theaters added. See the D&D Movie Wednesday and get a Faerun cloth map!

    Ok, I'm on the webpage and they actually have a couple of theaters within an hour of me (I'm rural) that have this early. No mention of the cloth map. Is there a direct link to the page that shows it? I'll be quite surprised if it's available out here.

    Against the Idol of the Sun: A 5e high-level campaign log

    Session 40: 3/18/2023 Ratel and Troudar took the Epic Boon of Undetectability (+10 Stealth, immune to scrying/divination). This frees up an attunement slot and gives them two spare Amulets of Protection from Detection and Location. Teador takes the Boon of Recovery, so he can heal half his HP...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Minimum* to Keep 5E at a Low Power Level?

    It means bad. Things go pear-shaped, the fecal matter hits the fan, mistakes were made, etc.
