Classes. The idea of classes does not exist in LoTR and is clearly made in the 1983 D&D cartoon where each of the children is given a class in the opening title sequence "Ranger, Thief-Acrobat, etc". That is a concrete thing that would make people buy a fantasy work.

This might be a good one for a Diplomacy (the game) modification

Monsters with aura damage, such as the fire elemental. You could also customize monsters to add aura damage of various types. Quick way to do this is to remove one of the attacks from a multiattack, cut the damage to 25%-50% of normal (salt to taste here) and then make that damage auto aura...

Ten years ago GenCon had a West Coast GenCon, Europe Gencon and Australia Gencon.

What kind of output do you get from your PCs? I find much of the enjoyment of a tv show or movie is in the dialogue (which varies, but is in general good). PCs tend to have get me over dialogue and roll a skill check. Crafting good dialogue takes time. As far as the warring human factions...

I'm ready to hear Rhianna sing a D&D song. As for the D&D movie, they might be better off rolling out a young adult fiction line (ala Warner property Harry Potter) and then getting a movie going.

Yes, its incredibly good. You can also pop it into existence on the other side of a door. Off-topic anyone remember getting the 1e imp as a familiar? It had a 25% chance to instakill things.

Why that is like driving an oil tanker away from a horde of bandits, only to find that when the tanker is destroyed, its full of sand.

I was just thinking 5e always reminds me of Python/NotPython movie Yellowbeard-when they are attacking Cheech and Chong's castle.

No. Why: There are two clear winners in the Barbarian class-Bear Totems DR and Frenzy's extra attack. The rest of the class from Wolf and Eagle totem are rarely made choices. This implies that Bear Totem's DR should be available to all three bear/eagle/wolf subtypes and then each subtype...

Polearms go first!

Skax, the card game of choice.

I think the Ranger and Druid aren't problems of class design, but are problems of the way encounters are designed. I've run some adapted 1e mods and many of the Ranger and Druid's abilities came in very handy.

If we go to a convention, we are in a way, paying the DM. How much are we paying the DM? If one day costs you $20 for a badge, then each game costs you $6.50 or so. 6 players, each paying $6.50 is $39 per game for the DM. So that DM is performing a service that people are paying around $11-13...

Don't be so hard on yourself monk, how could you know that was Iron Balls McGinty.

So, are you saying that there are 30 classes but only 5 of them are any good?

I've only seen it used once or twice. A party of 9th level PCs (by the book) matches up with CR 5-ish monsters, so it would be useful if you worry about things making saves. If you play a game with varied encounters beyond just hit stuff and kill it (for example the encounter is a capture the...

Leomund's Tony Hut for all your Broadway awards.

Saw the thread title and have to say I hope Hollywood doesn't try to turn this thread into a love story.
