    RPG Crowdfunding News – Grim Hollow, Terrors and Tommyguns, Rest in Pieces, and more

    I wanted to buy Grim Hollow for our GM. The shipping is half the cost of the hardcover ($25 for shipping on a $50 book). Since I'm probably spoiled by Amazon, does that sound right for a hardcover book? If I try to buy a random print on demand book at DriveThruRPG it gives me a choice of...

    D&D General D&D as a Curated, DIY Game or "By the Book": Examining DM and Player Agency, and the DM as Game Designer

    Good essay, but I think you misspelled Barovian. :unsure: For me it boils down to creating a shared epic narrative by the GM and the players vs mechanics. I want to be the Legolas that leaps onto the troll's back and jabs the Arrow of Slaying into its eye socket. I don't want to leave that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield Saltiness

    We were attacked by some monstrosity or maybe it was a demon that I think we released upon accident in a church. Later a bunch of vampires attacked us at the same church. There is another town where a werewolf is jumping the wall and killing townsfolk. I assume we will run into the werewolf...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield Saltiness

    Hi guys, Our sword and board Paladin in our Curse of Strahd campaign who is usually easy-going is feeling targeted by our DM because of the rule that equipping a shield requires an action and our DM says carrying a shield in town is considered a hostile act and not done in civilized society...

    D&D 5E (2014) Twilight Sanctuary vs Magical Darkness?

    Looking at the first highlight, since Channel Divinity is magical then it should be able to illuminate the darkness. Since it is not a spell (see Crawford's tweet above), the second highlight should not apply.

    D&D 5E (2014) Twilight Sanctuary vs Magical Darkness?

    The Channel Divinity is magical, but not a spell, so I would say that it can illuminate magical darkness. As long as the warlocks stay 15 feet away from the Cleric then it shouldn't disrupt their tactics.

    Cleric Won't Heal?

    1. Ask your DM to make drinking potions a bonus action. 2. Make a party rule that each Adventurer must have two healing potions before loot is divvied up.

    OMG, what level is the party? Mummies are no joke with that curse/disease that prevents you from healing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice on 8th level ASI for Circle of Shepherd Druid stuck in Barovia

    "Hello Optimancers" I have a Circle of the Shepherd Druid in the Curse of Strahd campaign. I'm already thinking about my ASI at level 8 and I'm wondering if the Metamagic Adept feat from the 2020 UA Feats would be a good pick: I was thinking the Subtle Spell Metamagic would prevent me from...

    D&D General A Paladin in Ravenloft

    Great story, but holy cow, your DM gave you plate mail?!? Our Paladin is still using the chainmail shirt he started with when we came to Barovia. I don't think we have enough coin between us for even a breastplate.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Conjure Minor Elementals.

    Aren't you casting it on an object, like a sword or armor? So long as it's a different object per mephit then it should be fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why ever play a cleric?

    I understand what you are saying, but I have never had a DM roleplay a zero level NPC as being in either awe or fear of a mid to high level character. They all seem to disdain the characters whether they are awesome or terrible.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why ever play a cleric?

    I love a good necro thread. Please explain how the Cleric is a superior damage dealer? I notice you didn't include Druid--are they better than a Druid?

    Level Up (A5E) Just a thought: Give druids Find Familiar.

    The 2019 Class Feature Variants UA gave an ability similar to find familiar: This gives a great boost to non-Circle of the Moon druids without being overpowered. I don't think Druids should be given an animal companion as powerful as a Beast master Ranger.
