    D&D 5E (2014) Where is the content?

    We expect to finish Avernus in six months with weekly 3 hour sessions. I feel our DM has rushed us through some sections I'd wish he'd taken more time with like Candlekeep. Have you asked your players if they would like a slower pace? Oh, and he adapted the beginning of Lost Mines a bit to...

    Internally logical magic systems?

    I shall assume you are socially retarded and not intentionally acting like a troll.

    Internally logical magic systems?

    I remember hearing a physicist on NPR saying that some people theorize that gravity was leaking into our universe from another dimension. I Googled it before writing this and found one link saying that some think the universal expansion is accelerating because gravity is leaking out of our...

    Internally logical magic systems?

    We were harnessing electricity long before we knew what it was. Ancient Greeks discovered static electricity. Romans had crude batteries. The electron wasn't discovered until the 19th Century.

    Internally logical magic systems?

    What's the difference between a fireball and gravity? Why does gravity exist? Where does it come from? Is there an infinite amount? Some things that don't make sense are merely beyond our level of comprehension and knowledge. D&D has the Weave. It may not make sense to us, but "we see...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D's Top Magic Items

    Presumably active character sheets stored on their website. If you just create a character and never make changes to it then they can exclude them. But if you make minor changes in equipment over time, adjust the HP or hit dice, track spell use, use the rest buttons, etc., it is more likely an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Additional herbalism items

    I think you should call them something like Elven herbs or Fey-touched herbs to denote they are not common herbs or else the party will be raiding herbalist shops and kitchen gardens all across Faerun.

    2020 (mini's) hobbystreak

    Oh, no, those are great! Just looking at the probiscus on those suckers give me the heebie-jeebies.

    2020 (mini's) hobbystreak

    I would be very interested in seeing what went into your bin as I am below your level of painter. I see stirges as more mosquito like than the Reaper version. Their versions look more like pseudo dragons to me.

    dog's bones 2020 -- 12/31 Gargantuan Green Dragon

    Good job keeping on track. I've already fallen off the bandwagon. I "zenithal primed" two deep gnomes and a shrieker (D&D screaming mushroom) three weeks ago using citadel spray can primer which came out okay. They were a little grainy and I'm not sure if it's me or the spray prime...

    D&D 5E (2014) What sword & sorcery books & supplements are out there for 5e?

    Nope, I get forum posts in my rss feed and go straight to the post if it looks interesting. I rarely notice the front page. But thanks for pointing it out.

    D&D 5E (2014) What sword & sorcery books & supplements are out there for 5e?

    Are you sure you have the right link? When I click on the link it goes to a kickstarter for The Bone Age, which doesn't remind me of Conan at all. I prefer s&s to high fantasy but I think people like us are in the minority.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nerfing Archery

    Archers were a thing historically and counters were made to deal with them. Why don't you DMs do the same with your encounters? Have a spell caster or enemy archer target the party's ranged fighters, flying creatures that will soar over the other melee attackers to attack ranged fighters 1v1...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Intuition be a skill/ability?

    I think most players love to roll dice and will get bored if the rogue is 120 feet in front of the party and rolling for everything. That and I doubt the rogue will have great stats for Perception, Investigation and Thieve's tools at the same time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Intuition be a skill/ability?

    I like this because it gives the Cleric (Perception), Wizard (Investigation), and Rogue (Thieve's tools) something to roll, but multiple rolls also increase the chance of failure. Our Pole-Arm Master fighter lost his arm in one campaign because someone failed their Perception roll. :eek: And...

    Getting Paid to be a Game Master

    How about online Adventurers League one-shots? There might be a base of players willing to pay for higher tier play in adventures with especially rare and juicy magic items. Or low tier players if you market it as their chance to play the bugbear bard-warlock-barbarian of their dreams. I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Stat-Block-style Character Sheet

    Under skills, I assume the filled in squares mean proficiency? If so, shouldn't the tool and weapon proficiencies be filled in? Also, how do you denote expertise for thieves? The hit dice is missing in the example and in the box for hp, I would align the # to the left or right of the box...

    D&D General Help with tools for large on-line game

    At our table some players narrate what they are attempting to do and our DM always narrates the outcome of the die roll unless it is a kill, in which case the player gets to do the honors. I really enjoy this part of combat and it's worth the extra few seconds it takes to resolve.

    D&D General Help with tools for large on-line game

    We use Discord. On rare occasions the DM will pull a player into a different chat room to give information to certain players. It works well enough for us. There is no need to hang up on the original call with Discord.

    "Your Class is Not Your Character": Is this a real problem?

    But that is a consistent story and a good explanation of your new powers and abilities. It's more of a problem if you say you are Paladin of Torm but then make a pact with a devil for supernatural powers.
