    D&D 5E (2024) Magic Missile is saved! Hooray!

    What was useful about potentially missing with a magic missile?

    Furiosa

    I finally saw Furiosa as well. And though I thought Fury Road was better and more gripping, Furiosa was still quite good. It's more of a slow-paced saga punctuated by action scenes as highlights of Furiosa's life than the climactic battles to thwart and dominate her oppressors that Fury Road is.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    To get a more complete connotation, I've been seeing WankPanzer and, of course, Swasticars.

    GMs: How Much Do You Curate Your Adventures To Your Specific PCs, Mechanically Speaking

    Most of what I run are published adventures, APs, etc. So, yeah, I adapt and I'll adapt a lot if I think I need to from both a narrative and mechanical perspective. Usually, I don't need to do much mechanically - players usually find a way to overcome obstacles. But narratively... if I had a...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    They are working very hard to keep big flyers off the wild shape and polymorph lists.

    Hot take: get rid of the "balanced party" paradigm

    Any game in which a PC build has limited resources to the point they can’t excel at everything useful to the game, a balanced(-ish) party can be expected to do better than an unbalanced one. An unbalanced party then becomes viable as the group pares down the options in the game itself. For...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    If it’s the thread I’m thinking of, I’ve got my settings at 20 posts per page and I was seeing 2-3 only per page at the end there.

    How many were abused due to their love of D&D, RPGs, and related items when they were young?

    It might not have even been explicit or intentional coaching. Childcare sex abuse panic was pretty much an industry in the 1980s and 1990s. People went nuts all over the place because, when subjected to repeated questioning and faulty assumptions, kids say the darnedest things...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Pretty good bumper crop of ignores from that thread, I can tell you.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This kind of thing is funny maybe... once and then you realize it's just elitist crap. At least until you encounter people who have some real food anxiety issues, then it also becomes ableist as well as elitist crap.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I was seeing this on a high level fighter in 2014 as well. So, nothing new to 2024, really.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Ouch. Sounds like it's time to have a conversation with your supervisor - not necessarily to file a grievance, but at least get the issue on someone's radar.

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    Tough choice because there are a lot of really interesting ones. Matt definitely excels at making boss battles that come down to the wire and generate lots of drama for the players. Marisha fell off her chair when Raishan failed her save against Keyleth's feeblemind spell. Sam had a great moment...

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I can kind of see why they wanted to separate beauty from Charisma - that's a problem people have had from the beginning. But the whole fascination thing was ridiculous.
