    D&D 5E (2014) House rule for in combat healing and yoyo at 0 HP

    I wish you were right, but I don't think you are. I think saving your healing spells until someone goes down is absolutely the correct strategy under the 5e rules as written. When a player gets reduced to -20 hit points and you Healing Word them for 4, you end up healing then for 24. How is that...

    If they had to make that happen in real life, the long printing delay makes a lot more sense.

    D&D Adventurers League Unveils New DungeonCraft Document with Planescape In Focus

    "Not everything is worth gold, a story award is a persistent award given to characters that meet the requirement in the adventure." Avoidance of sentence splices is worth its weight in gold.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Update: 2024 Rulebooks & Survey Results

    To some people, tentacles cause arousal. But I guess that's also mental.

    OSR ACKS 2

    Glad to know where your draw the line. Nazis and fascists are fine, but someone who enjoyed 4e? Now that is truly unacceptable.

    I'd love him even more if he included the phrase "those pesky factz" in his filing.

    I don't have any good advice, I just wanted to congratulate you on a five-year campaign. Wow.

    I hadn't heard of this adventure until this thread, and now I'm super intrigued. It sounds amazing. Thanks for your write-ups!

    Might I humbly propose: "Justin looks like a textbook prong"? I'm not a licensed prongologist, but I feel that statement won't be very controversial.

    D&D General Thoughts on running Rappan Athuk (and deadly megadungeons in general) [SPOILERS]

    Back to Rappan Athuk. What's your favorite floor/area? As I mentioned before, I read the first area and didn't care for it. I'd love to give Rappan a second chance, but since it's a billion pages, I'd appreciate a tip on an especially good section to check out.

    D&D General Thoughts on running Rappan Athuk (and deadly megadungeons in general) [SPOILERS]

    Speaking of brilliant set pieces and overarching story... When people are compiling lists of the best mega-dungeons, I rarely see Castle Whiterock mentioned, which is a shame. It might be because that adventure was only ever published with 3e rules, which is anathema to most of the OSR...

    D&D General Is DnD being mothballed?

    Micah, I grudgingly admire your dedication to keep tilting at this windmill after so many pages. I respectfully think you're wrong, but nobly so. Please don't allow us to sully your optimistic view of the general public's intelligence. I'd just like to point out that the number of people who...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8: Cantrips

    Apologies for largely repeating what I wrote in another thread, but... It's it just me, or has Shocking Grasp been nerfed into uselessness? The disengage effect whiffs 40% of the time or more, the damage is awful, the range is zero. Why would a player ever take it? At least when it gave...

    D&D 5E (2024) Bonus Unearthed Arcana Reveals The Bastion System

    With Shocking Grasp nerfed and so many other cantrips buffed, is it fair to say that the new Shocking Grasp is the worst cantrip in the game? I can't think of a single reason to take it. Shocking Grasp was never very good, because its disengage feature isn't reliable. But it at least had...

    A box set adventure with spinners and props, written by Harley Stroh??? Take my money NOW. I would order that right this second, except that I want to support my local store, so I'll wait until I can buy it there.
