They probably would be better off without the word "Yawn" in the title.

Could you do a special ability auction? For example, players would bid for things like Rage or Action Surge. Everything is fair game and let a player/table economy assign the growth points. Once a special ability is gone, thats it-no other player can have action surge etc.

Marvel vs Capcom vs D&D

When I read "ProgBard" the first thing I thought of was Rick Wakeman! I'm just putting forth some ideas here. It's a thought I've had in the past as well and is it nostalgia or was something really different going on?

It was...Suicide.

A few years ago I was reading books on the history of punk and put some thought along these same lines. I might try and stick some quotes in here, but the three books I found the most relevant to D&D were Fu*** Up + Photocopied: instant art of the punk rock movement by Bryan Turcotte, Retromania...

Also an excellent ELO album.

Thank you, that should be Jump. Your reach is 8 feet (depending on race) and you need to jump the additional 7 feet to grab the ledge. DC 28 Jump check.

Over 30 years of each and still playing and DMing both today!

Your stalwart group of PCs approach a 15' tall wall with kobolds guarding the top. Here is how the encounter is solved in each edition. 5e: Your PC approaches the wall, makes an athletics check and climbs to the top, ready to engage the kobolds in the next round. 4e: Your PC approaches the...

I just wanted to add something about thieves and risk/reward. Post 3x the rogue had a little bit of risk and a nice reward in some extra damage. In 5e maybe you get some advantage out of it and improved to-hit chance from coming out of stealth. It's not completely necessary, as long as an ally...

Back in my day we animated our shields and carried a two-handed weapon.

I'm excited to play Starfinder. I play Stars without Number now, but I am looking forward to seeing the Paizo team develop a rich, starfaring world to adventure in. As far as minis, there is always the Tim Mee Galaxy Laser Team. 50 minis for $15

Hussar lives in Japan. Maybe he sees different people than you. Or maybe his game store is filled with Sumo wrestlers.

Forever Alone: Ranger edition.

Now, it is the good folks in VMware/Citrix that get to rant about Microsoft.

I think all of us have a PC we loved playing for his/her flaws as much as the awesomeness. I've been having trouble with PCs begging for bennies as well. My general approach is to freely give one inspiration for each of a combat/RP/exploration task, per PC.

You would think a low stat would be an easy way to get much more inspiration. It's easy to RP a low stat. I remember when we used to roll 3d6 in order, a roll of 5 or less was called "some roleplaying".

Thanks for sharing the interesting thoughts TCO. Have you tried walking around in magical darkness with a Warlock's Devil's Sight as a starter for optimization?
