(5e) High level. guidance for DM's on things to do with treasure rules for player advancement in the world at large not just in thier classes. Guidance for new DM's on anything. Guidance specifically in campaign settings say Forgotten Realms as an example of types of consequences for players...

and at some point they get bags of holding or portable holes. DND isn't really a game for worrying about survival resources.

never said they did. I just don't like dealing with people finding food in my games. I don't have pet squirrels I have players trying to be the heroes. Nothing about that is fun on any level for me. I know a lot of people like those little mini-games within the game. They just annoy me...

no you are on to something with the satanic panic. It slowly turned into the never ending attack of the Southern Baptist church down here in the south and midwest. That lasted til sometime in the mid 90's. That and it was a fairly niche product up until 4e and 5e. Retailers in the wrong...

Well I don't care to run games where people are starving and looking for food so I honestly don't care about that stuff, so I guess if you run those kinds of games it's an issue but I can't imagine it being any fun after 3rd level scrounging for scraps to survive.

I never saw it as much more powerful than medium healing or potions. Hate of that spell always confused me

No that confrontation explained nothing, took the story nowhere and left the entire thread in the air hanging like the others. Your flippant explanations were never explained in the books. Perhaps for you such simple make it up in your own mind and move along works, but there are dozens of...

Only if the dm lets them do it. How is that different than melee killing the king and claiming the kingdom. If DM lets hijinxes insue then no rule is going to limit them or make it better magic or no magic. You are arguing rules to stop a game style.

Well 3.5 players (which Pathfinder I include) Are a shrinking group 3.5 and I've played it for years and dm'd it, is an unwieldy beast. Doesn't mean you can't do great things with it but 5e is just easier, less fodder for rules lawyers and min maxers. . I dont think you'll see anything like...

Not if the consequences are bad enough they have to worry about them. And in the god of war example it might be the party Melee that have to shine when the Caster gets screwed out of magic till the God of Wars curse is lifted. They aren't Consequences if they aren't appropriate for what was...

Yeah, I liked Shannara In spite of its issues. Rings makes it look like a Masterpiece. The Seeker as well for that matter.

Tons of stuff that happen in the books never pay off. Eugene travels to alternate realities via the dream. The people behind the doors that take mat's memories but we never find out why. The whole story arc of Mat seemingly heading towards a great destiny of perhaps cleansing the SeanChean...

I'm only addressing rings of power. I think they screwed themselves with some of the liberties they took with the story. You don't pull stuff out of lost tales and the silmarillion to grab the geeks then mangle it. Like sauron not being captured and imprisoned by Numenor. The wonderful story...

The actor died in December 2023 so it was filmed awhile back. So who knows?

More of what they've been doing. But no time travel please. Unless they want to save Captain Pike and make him a recurring admiral for the reboot of the original series. If they use this model I'll be ok with one last abuse of the space time continuum

More rules like the rough stuff in the wish spell. Roll to see if you can ever do it again. What if by creating a demi plane th caster were somehow bound to it and when the caster spent too long away from it they and the demiplane diminished. What if clone or simulacrum took a permanent...

Assuming we are talking DND. Dm gets to mangle or change the rules anyway they see fit. The my world has little magic and the mage will only get his spells when I say so being the most normal abuse of the rules. D nD was built so that DM could build the train while it goes down the track...

I've stated before I have a cognitive dissonance problem with the books in my head clashing with the TV show storyline. But at least 50 percent of those books could be removed from the story and you'd lose almost nothing. (And I loved them but it's true). Also several story lines that just...

Why I said the spirit of the book 😄 which made seem crawling through a field of broken glass a preferable action

So this line of thought could be applied to nearly anything in game. Those who say it can't happen are wrong. The guy running the game can do ANYTHING behind the screen. God X makes BBEGI unable to be hit. Boom rolling die 20's in combat pointless. But the alternative is rules with less...
