If it's said at the game table it's said in the world unless for REAL out of character. Like one player saying"Please get me a soda when you come back" if fine and out of character. The same player saying"Geez are we going to kill this npc cause he is really getting on my nerves and I hate the...

Don't worry about errors. Just laugh with the players and make up something funny. "you bang on the screen and the graphics glitch for a second and the scene comes back into focus but with all the people of the fort in it this time! Dang some of these patches are bugged!"

Don't give a crap about in character arguments.as long as the players want to. Out of Character arguments better be short. Any arguments with the DM over rules ect.....better be shorter still. So in other words in character ..dont care. Out of Character 1 minute.

I removed the concentration portion of the rules that limited spells stacking and kept the danger of losing a spell due to damage ect and so far am fairly happy with the results. It can make caster more powerful and useful but that's not a bad thing in my book. I'm not saying it can't be...

Often I will use terrain to increase the difficulty or decrease it. A few simple foes out of melee range like up in a tree or firing from a balcony can greatly increase the chance. A partially collapsed wall makes a awesome battlefield trap that can be used by either party with the right flavor...

The very first attack roll of the game was a nat 20 but because it was done with disadvantage the nat 20 didn't count. The utter look of disappointment and confusion(and a player saying this game is dead to me) like 2 minutes into the first session caused house Rule #2 A Nat 20 Overrules all...

I roll every roll in front of the players so not one die fudge from me. However.....one doesn't need dice rolls to fudge.

I missed the old system until I went back and played it. Suddenly I couldn't get back to 5E fast enough. That was a AD&D 2E game though and nothing worse in D&D than a 1st level wizard in 2E unless........it's a 1st rogue in 2E.

Gotcha!Opps sorry! I think I just failed my Int check and and was feeling talkative and wanted my voice to be HEARD! Now im leaving to go deal with a bunch of 2 and 3 year olds who will ignore everything I say for the next six hours.

I can understand that. At the same time dice rolls fail and losing a character due to one failed dice role.......sucks. Unless the falling pc was way high up on his turn he would fail and fall and die. no time for other party members to do anything. Now slowing it down is perfectly fine but...

I stack the deck in my favor. Instead of a strait save or die or fall into lava I would use a three check system. Fail the first check and lose balance and fall. Fail the second check and miss the grab whatever it was they were on a a nearby tree branch or rock or whatever. Make it and take...

I think the issue is mostly with you. Well and myself and many many of us old rpg vets. Most rpg gamers started playing D&D with 5E. Somewhere there is a article about it and the overwhelmingly huge numbers of new gamers in the hobby now. I think most gamers now got introduced to rpg's by...

If there is a issue at my table about class balance with casters verse non-casters it's that the full casters seem underwhelming. The high level game see's full casters still being powerful and useful but limited. The number of high level spells. the relatively easy to beat saves and the...

Love the Driz'zt stories. Even after all these years they are a good read. Shrug never understood all the Driz'zt drama. I read just about everything and to me there is plenty of room for these types of books. Just because I love me some Abercrombie ,George R.R. Martain, Lawrence and all the...

If you are going to post on message boards get a thick skin pronto. There are wall to wall Trolls and it's so bad even the fellow Dwarves trying to mine some goodness from the threads with you are often trollish in speech and mannerisms from having to deal with the trolls! So no. Posts like...

I never roll. I use average a lot but often add or take away a few points. If the fight is supposed to be challenging (about 1/5th of the time) I might just give em close to max. Sometimes I just give a monster lower hit points as well if im ready for the fight to be over. If all that's left...

While I agree the game is about fun......monsters should behave true to themselves regardless of how it effects the pc's ...at least in my opinion. Bearding a Dragon in it's den is indeed a great tactic and one Dragons would seek to avoid. I would reward great game play and tactics by having it...

We have a WINNER! Thread over! *Kicks himself for not thinking of that response.

It used to work that it was a clone of you at that exact moment you took the clone piece. So you would know nothing about anything past that point. Also are you sure? You would kill yourself right now so that a copy of you who was younger could live? I mean it's not YOU. It's HIM. If you get my...

Also clones are............not you. I mean they are you but you also still are around. It's like right now if I could clone myself back in my youthful age of 25 I wouldn't do it. Way too much has happened to me and I would lose all that. Now if I was a powerful wizard I might figure out a way...
