Encounter in broad strokes: at the entrance/path: mooks (a lot) - this is the main hide out, of course the big bad has lots of its mooks At the main encounter: Some mooks (just a couple that aren’t equipped for fighting as they were being helpers to what the big bad was doing - but there...

Look at it as an excuse to tell a story as to why the village has one. possible explanations for small village sewers (1) long ago a gnome wizard actually stated in the village for ten years while recording laboratory experiments on local flora. He noticed the village had a terrible flooding...

This is odd to answer because I’m not in the ‘it doesn’t matter to me’ camp nor am I in the ‘it matters to me’ camp. I genuinely don’t actually even think about it or consider it as something that I need to consider. Now thinking back, sure it happens in groups I’ve played with. I don’t even...

If ‘wanting to finish the adventure’ is your primary reason for playing it, then that in itself speaks volumes that something needs to change. You don’t sound inspired or engaged. As you said you are just going through the motions. Some options (1) Just stop if you’re not inspired or...

my opinion echos others .... Go with option 2 option 1 has the potential to just cause party problems given that personality as described here. Of course maybe that’s how your group will go but in a vacuum of other information on your group’s history, this just seems like it will get you...

Kind of depends really how your DM wants to do it. assuming that’s you? but my personal opinion ( if I’m remembering potion of climbing correctly) just gives you a climb speed and a bonus to climb. That second part is the key for me.... if you’re getting a bonus to climb then you still need...

Side effects make for side quests before investigating the cause ( or maybe in tandem) dealing with things around the town that are caused by shortage of able bodied persons. start of campaign: only a couple people have been getting weak, not enough for anyone to really take notice and assume...

Slight tangent... but broadcast tv cbs has shown the first couple episodes of season 1 discovery from 2+(?) years ago.

For the seven, there are now only five (that includes black noire). So space for two new next season. one of those two slots is possibly going to be taken by (spoiler) (the character announced to be played by a certain actor announced for next season, whose character name sounds very much like...

I don’t know why, but I hear Bender’s (from futurama) voice in my head whenever I read skull-head’s word bubbles.

BG3 released today for early access (aka beta testing) for just the first chapter of the game. anyone decided to buy? If so, what’s the experience been like? I’ve never bought a game at early access before, and frankly, I don’t like the idea of paying now for a testing product for however...

I’m the summaries of the comics, he is in fact referred to as the green lantern type character. I’ve seen him called that multiple places so you’re not imagining it. Now of course for the show, as you say, it’s not quite manifested as a green lantern but as, well, pyro from X-men

So I came back to this game after several weeks ( I got it when it came out but was I just wasn’t able to do what the tutorial was telling me - ie it told me to select something and no matter how much I clicked nothing actually happened. Plus just lots of information when I tried without...

Yeah, season 2 TNG, I’ve seen each of those episodes once, only. Aside from stories and pacing, I don’t know if it was the character or the actress delivery, but I was just bothered anytime dr Pulaski spoke.

I bought the game when it released. I’m too overwhelmed. I don’t understand it. I tried the tutorial and maybe I’m being dense but it’ll tell me to do something and I have no idea how I’m supposed to do what it tells me. I will try it again in a couple weeks with fresh eyes.

thanks fellow forum posters, while i haven't hit on the exact thing yet that i'm satisfied with, i feel like the suggestions here got me thinking in directions i hadn't been considering that are variations of what was said.... so much appreciated. i am continuing to mull it over if anyone...

My players stay out. Trying to keep background minimal, but the short version is: the PCs (epic level) are about to venture in an area that is a manifestation of energy created by luck. While _players_ deal with luck in terms of die rolls, I am trying to think of a good 'environmental...

Home brew (as both player and DM) 1. If a published setting there is usually the ‘one person’ who knows more of the history and lore than the DM on one random topic that throws things off for the DM; home brew keeps DM in control or lore 2. If a published setting, those that don’t know, or...

Not exactly what you're asking for so no offense taken if you ignore this reply... I play with a weekly group in Arlington ( by courthouse metro station), Sunday's from about noon til 6. All guys in our mid 30s However we primarily play 4e. We have occasionally done a one time session of 5e...

As someone (albeit a quiet someone these days) who has been using these boards since they started under different leadership ( back when 3e was still getting scoops and previews), one of the things I always appreciated was the no politics or religion rule. I'd go in to specific reasons on my I...
