    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 needs to end 2014's passive aggressive efforts to remove magic items & other elements from d&d

    Anecdote, not data, but in my 40+ years playing, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a campaign where we cared about encumbrance. I know we never asked where a specific item was being carried. At most, it was lip service, in that the only time it came up was when someone was egregious about it...

    Yeah, while it might be that it was supposed to run before, it didn’t. And there was nothing in either one to indicate that there was any connection, no matter what order they ran in. If they wanted to show them out of order, they at the very least needed to give us some indication of that...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    Of course, on these very boards we had a huge thread at one point by people feeling personally attacked by the mere existence of content warning on older content. So it seems even that is a bridge too far for some folks.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    The fact that you think Disney’s problems are due to inclusive movies, I’m not sure there’s much more to say. Disney’s problems are due to the fact they’ve gotten sloppy and are putting out badly written movies. Not because there are too many women, or diverse casting, or lack of strong...

    Again, the fact that a majority is fine with something doesn't make it right.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    Claiming it's only a 'handful of people on Twitter' is an attempt to marginalize viewpoints of people who were already bring marginalized. "Why make changes when the majority (ie me) are perfectly happy bring catered to?"

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    Tradition is all well and good. But it is a lousy reason not to make changes. Too many people throughout history have attempted to hold onto horrible things in the name of tradition. Women can't vote! It's against Tradition! Of course those people aren't allowed to eat in the same diner...

    Unless you believe that quantity over quality is where Disney went wrong over the last few years. Then that paints a different picture.

    I was about to say that. To me, the fact that this is doing it's level best to pretend Secret Invasion never happened is a solid plus in my books. A solid, fun little movie, that doesn't try to be anything but. It is so refreshing to have one of these clock in under 2 hours. This, Guardians...

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    As someone who has been playing for 40+ years, I certainly don't feel like they want me to go away. I've enjoyed 5e immensely and am looking forward to the new 2024 Core. I'm sorry you're feeling under-serviced. But there's no evidence they are hoping all us original players hurry up and die...

    I’d certainly have no issue with that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    You’re right. But they are dealing with a limited page count. And this isn’t the first issue that has come up this year where it’s been said that “people who don’t want it can ignore it”. If they added in everything that everyone wanted (that other people can ignore), the book size would...

    D&D General JMISBEST's questions. Most of them about campaign ideas that either he or A GM he knows has and wants to know what people think

    That’s actually a very good point: where did all these young dragons come from, and where are their parents? And what is forcing all these dragons to stay in such a small area?

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    Too bad Freevee only seems to be available in the US. I probably would have enjoyed the cooking show a lot.

    D&D General JMISBEST's questions. Most of them about campaign ideas that either he or A GM he knows has and wants to know what people think

    If I were you, I’d make double-sure the GM is ok with you using home brew tables that give you six silver dragons. And by the way, isn’t this at least the second time those tables have generated huge retinues of silver dragons? I’d say those tables are probably not suitable for general games...

    Savage Worlds does have a supplement for this : Big Apple Sewer Samurai I don't have it myself, but looks like it should get you to where you need to go for TMNT.

    Grade the Savage Worlds System

    It’s not the trappings so much, but the modifiers. As @thullgrim mentioned, there’s even a document that shows how to recreate most of the common spells using this modifiers. Using those modifiers (which are available to all casters), you can recreate the vast majority of D&D spells with a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Phandelver starting to show up in the wild. NewbieDM looks to be the first!

    Yeah, normally I’d agree. But the climatic big boss fight needs to be a little longer. I’m likely to be leaning heavily on Flee, Mortals in a lot of cases. So tweaking the big boss shouldn’t be a deal breaker. As long as the story (overall and individually dungeon-wise) is good, I’m still...

    D&D 5E (2014) Phandelver starting to show up in the wild. NewbieDM looks to be the first!

    Thanks! I appreciate the thoughts. The adventure sounds interesting, but my group have all done (and/or run LMOP) in the past. So running it straight really wouldn’t work. But I was considering keeping the town and NPCs, and finding other things for them to do until level 5. Either...
