    D&D General I'm reading the Forgotten Realms Novels- #202 The Howling Delve by Jaleigh Johnson (Dungeons 2)

    Probably because novels were a primary part of TSR revenue back then, so churning them out was worthwhile even if the novel itself wasn't per se. SOMEONE would buy it "because Volo" or "because FR" or "because TSR made a novel and the are D&D" Especially since TSR was in financial trouble by...

    WotC New D&D Stream Replaces Dice, Camera, Action!

    Did you watch any of Critical Role? There were a ton of impactful things that happen/happened in their streams. Also check out MCDM - they have a bunch things with stakes happening in their games' streams.

    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana: Psionics!

    There is also the Telekinetic feat that they posted in the newest UA that does some/most of what you want I think, though with no damage a la catapult. And the hand is no components and invisible. Very psionic. • Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You learn the mage...

    D&D 5E (2014) Melee sorcerer build

    I mean, if you're already ignoring RAW to make the character more powerful in melee, I'm not sure what advice you need from us? Use Haste, an attack cantrip, use quicken spell with attack cantrips, multiclass to fighter for action surge, pick up feats like Tough, Warcaster, and Sentinel to...

    D&D General suggestions for flooded subterranean cavern complex (any edition)

    I ran that for a group out of the Tales from the Yawning Portal 5e adaption and it was great fun. It loses something with the tournament clock removed, but just the inability to rest because of the toxic air is a great motivator.

    WotC New D&D Stream Replaces Dice, Camera, Action!

    Huge agreement here! ...and here! :) I'm excited to see Perkins back in the seat. His games always feel like my local DM's games :)

    D&D General Toril must be a Super Earth.

    As I also noted from the Realmspace supplement, Toril's oceans only cover 60% of the planet's surface as well. So even if Toril has more available landmass, I'd be surprised if it'd be more than 15% difference accounted for between their ocean coverage and the Earth's 75% coverage. Also -...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Tactics (nightmare)

    Love the Monsters Know article. I would agree with it. For level 10-12 PCs a Nightmare isn't going to be much of a challenge. If you're going for interesting over resource-draining, great! If you want the encounter to use up some resources, you should follow the article and include 1-3...

    D&D 5E (2014) I need help to create encounters for a mountain climb

    That storm that @Elfcrusher mentioned rolled in pretty quickly and unnaturally. There are lightning strikes near the PC's as they climb (figure some % chance of a PC getting struck based on how much metal they carry/wear maybe)? Each time a PC is missed by a bolt, even over the rumbling of...

    D&D 5E (2014) UA Spell Versatility: A deeper dive

    I don't want to put words in @Sword of Spirit 's mouth, but the way I do that in my games, if the PC's are looking for an NPC caster of a specific spell, I determine if someone is even in the town/area/region/city who can cast that spell depending on all the arcane/divine and level factors, then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen's Fiendish Folio Volume 1

    I mean, technically he dropped an "f***" bomb. So it's less bad. There is an entire PR campaign out there with the slogan of "F" cancer. So... ymmv ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Melee sorcerer build

    Ok, so order of operator error, sure. But it can still be done, you just have to quicken the haste rather than eldritch blast. And on subsequent rounds, you can Extra Attack, Haste Attack, and quicken an EB for 6 attacks in a round.

    D&D General Toril must be a Super Earth.

    Not official ones that I've seen, but these are from the Wiki: EDIT: couple more Also someone took the FR Cartography wiki page and created a Google Earth Map Bringing Toril to Google Earth

    D&D General Toril must be a Super Earth.

    In Spelljammer’s Realmspace supplements it was classified as a size E planet. Size E had diameters from 6400 - 16k km. Earth is something like 12.7k km in diameter. Part of the difference is the water surface of Toril which is only 60% of the planet vs. Earths 75% coverage. That’s a lot more...

    D&D General Too many cultists

    LOL. I was going to say awakened bears lead by a mad druid intent on replacing human society with their own, a la Bearmageddon! They are raiding towns/caravans for wealth to get the material component for MORE awakenings, even starting to include other animals who will be lower in the new...
