Agreed. Koplow sets have with 2 d20s and 3 d6s, making a great 10-dice set.

Why can't it be both?

Was the BBEG Hans Gruber?

I find it interesting how we are sometimes "divided by a common language." For example, in New Zealand English the quoted sentence would be parsed as, "You are only allowed to take the dog for a walk once you have finished going to the mailbox". This is both the condition (go to the mailbox) and...

I think the tense needs to be changed in that last sentence. …then the condition has been met if you have taken the Attack action on your turn.

Ghost bear owl bears! Consider that idea stolen for my Primeval Thule game.

I am conflicted about this. On one hand, the man did contribute to the book. He did work and I believe people should be rewarded for their work. On the other hand, removing his name means that his victims aren't going to be reminded of him and what he did every time they page through the book.

QFT. Also: 4. DO NOT REUSE PASSWORDS! If an attacker gets mickey@disney.com, password abc123, from a hack of roll20.net then they will try that same username and password on Ebay, PayPal, Yahoo, MSN, ....... 5. Do not store any of your credit card details online. It's a hassle having to type...

I'd take out the word "artificially". It is about actually reducing risk.

A couple of recent threads and blog posts have got me thinking about the difference, if there is one, between hidden and unseen in 5E. Being unseen has a lot of game-mechanical effects (advantage/disadvantage, immunity to opportunity attacks, etc). Are there actually any effects that...

Paper. Lots of paper. For use in games and out of games, when inspiration strikes and you get cool ideas for your games. I carry spiral bound notebooks, where I can tear pages out and give them to people. Don't forget an eraser or two to go with the pencils. :-) Health stuff - wet wipes for...

You've had interesting games. Grappling (and its close cousins shove, shove aside, and knock prone) come up in around 2/3 of the 5E sessions I've played and GMed in the last 2 years. Occasionally, lack of strength has blocked progress. The DEX 20 character with the rapier is stopped by a simple...

Same question, different spell. Would you allow a 5th level caster to cast eldritch blast and attack with the first bolt then move then attack with the second bolt? How about casting the first bolt of eldritch blast then casting misty step then attacking with the second bolt? It seemed cheesy...

For movie inspiration, watch Nightmare on Elm Street and then play all your fey like Freddy Krueger.

For future reference, a multi-part monster is a great way to run these big combats. Imagine a dragon flying around raining death on the party, annoying the snot out of the melee fighters. The ranged fighters pelt it with damage, weakening it until it falls to the ground, wings in tatters. But...

Given the Barbarian and Monk AC calculation, you should have a reasonable DEX, so the solution is "carry a bow". A Barbarian can use a bow while raging. They won't get the damage boost but the other features still apply. Monks definitely get the shaft here (heh, archery pun :-). Crossbows and...

I've run games of Dungeon World a few times, where damage is all class based. I had a D&D player who was very confused by this. "What do you mean my fighter does d10 damage? Do I do more damage if I get a big sword? No? That doesn't make sense!" I'm not sure which option I favour. I like a...
