That's a good thought, but the Colonel can give THP to 5 plus himself. So someone would need to choose to go without to boost an animal. I'm not ocnvinced of the value of horses, generally, but we can always let them go if need be. If we are breaking into the fortress, however, I expect they'll...

"Ready when you are, sir," the Colonel says. He takes a horse, and pulls it in position behind Donnell.

The Colonel proceeds with the group, not feeling the need to operate with stealth unless it were ordered. And if it were, he knew that there were magics that could make a stealthy all the more effective. Using the sending stone had been a mistake, but it was a mistake the Colonel could live...

Also, the completely gratuitious Aeschylus quote at the beginning, which has no relation to what follows. (The passage, since the precise source is not cited, is Aeschylus, Libation Bearers 647-48).

Just finished it. It was not meant for me. (spoilers follow). Turning Section 31 into the IMF (complete with "if you should choose to accept it" recordings) tries to capitalize on Tom Cruise movies to make us like, or at least root for, what the characters here are doing. It all felt very...

I believe we know that the 5e take on gnolls was very strongly driven by one designer (Mearls) who is no longer involved. What we saw in Volo's reflected that view. It is possible that the extreme view will be relaxed in the post-2024 era.

Welcome to the boards! Have your first XP!

...feeling the need to name-check the Great American Songbook in the SNW musical episode. I tried to convince myself that the awkwardness of the moment shows how far removed the series is from the real world of the 20th c., but I know that's not the case.

We cold also send a message now saying we will be seeking an audience at the quarter-moon, or whatever 3 days from now is. Not asking, but signalling we are heading out and going to ask. That way if they say no, we;ll know we have to do something else to, um, grab the Thane's attention.

I finished a re-watch of SNW just last night. It remains consistently strong. Are there weaker episodes? Sure. The light addiction (1.03) and the child who saves a planet (1.06) don't work for me, and the story about the aliens in the fuel (2.06) had been done at least twice before in other ST...

The Colonel stands silently, deferring to Donnell -- Sir Donnell -- as he asserts his newly won authority. He doesn't want to wait further. The castle afforded comfort, luxuries for each of the group, and the promise for more to come. But they were already proving too tempting... providing...

I'll admit this is what I'm feeling. I like the idea of the Colonel having a lighting place and a little constabulary that he maintains in his retirement, but it would be a lot more fun just to play it than having to look for mechanical benefits.

(will post later tonight or tomorrow; sorry.)

There were absolutely problems with the 3.5 Level Adjustments (indeed my first post to this forum was about the implications of the monster hit dice for skills in 3.5), but there was no doubt they were thinking about the possibilities, and trying to make it work. I do not get that sense fro 5e...

In my opinion, the 5e designers seem particularly uninterested in playing nonstandard species as player characters. What the species contributes to the character has eroded. This has been true throughout the 5e era. What they produce is inconsistent and (often) easily breakable. Because they are...

This Jeff Dee Lizardfolk is on my desk at work.

Tommi has been listening to Sheren talk about her new responsibilities. Her eyes danced and she spoke with her hands, and she was so proud of what she'd been able to do and it was beautiful; she was beautiful. And Tommi got to watch her, to be with her. In the short time he'd been away, she'd...

Inspiring leader is locked. It's up to the party as to whether they find Tommi inspiring! :D

The Wild Magic Barb in Tasha's should work seamlessly with the 2024 base class (as Fitz has said). Also cool. Ha ha ha. I could also take Inspiring Leader, and leave it up to you as to whether Lunn feels inspired by Tommi (and takes the THP) or simply annoyed....
