    Malificent 2

    It wasn't a let down for me. I would have.preferred her to be a unique creature. I didn't understand how she could be powerful enough to have her own kingdom while others who seem almost her equal were living underground. Still, like most D&D modules, it's probably best not to give those...

    Malificent 2

    Last night I watched Malificent 2 starring Angelina Jolie. I don't think I watched the original and I'm not sure how this sequal did at the box office, but I highly recommend it for all you warlock and druid fans looking for inspiration. Someone involved in production had to be a FRPG fan...

    Gatekeepin' it real: On the natural condition of fandom

    Less than 10% of the population uses Twitter and I bet half of them are Russian bots. So you are in a small minority that is using a slang definition of "gatekeeping." That is exclusionary and by your own definition, "gatekeeping." If you had simply said, "People who watch D&D but don't play...

    Variant Human with quarterstaff, shield and Pole Arm Master. Everything else is fluff. :giggle:

    D&D 5E (2014) Swarm of insects (spiders) -- How do you run this monster?

    My DM just said "a swarm of spiders crawls out of the fireplace" and put two checker pieces down on the battle map with a crude spider drawn on each. There was no need to get more descriptive. I guess you could say more to up the creepiness factor. Like when they attack, "the spiders crawls...

    Watches

    The Fitbit Versa 2 looks good with 6 day battery life. Right now I wear a titanium Seiko Chronograph that my wife gave me as an engagement gift on one hand and a Fitbit Alta HR on the other. I had to have the gears changed in the Seiko and replaced the acrylic glass with sapphire crystal at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Our Next Adventure?

    If you do Avernus I would suggest making the characters have Baldur's Gate a big, important, and beloved part of their back story. None of our party was very connected to it or the other big city in the campaign and some felt no need or desire to go on a fools mission to save either, especially...

    D&D General Do your players map?

    We use dynamic lighting so the map goes black once you leave a room. We don't use fog of war because apparently it requires a good PC for everyone. I really, really don't like dynamic mapping. The angry GM has an article on mapping that recommends something similar. An Angry Guide to...

    Tracking mini options?

    Numbered condition rings Or just get the color rings and assign a number to each color. The players can help the DM keep track of which color corresponds to each number.

    Requesting advice on fighter/cleric for Avernus

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. Our new player has decided on Twilight Cleric so I will stick with the fighter class for at least one more level to see if he works out for the party.

    D&D 5E (2014) A bit of help with a Fochluclan Lyrist in 5e

    I don't know about the multiclassing, but I can say from experience that you should never grapple with a barbed devil.

    Requesting advice on fighter/cleric for Avernus

    This is my first time playing 5e so most of my choices are from the DM throwing out a list of options and me picking what sounded good. My dwarf is a front line fighter. I chose Defensive fighting style and fight with a +1 sword and shield. My first ASI I took Tavern Brawler for the +1STR...

    I think someone messed up the halfling points between posts 172 and 174.

    Thank you for the reply. I have a week to decide so I'm going to consider your curve ball option very hard before making a decision. Thanks!

    Great job painting. Is he knee deep in snow? His legs look really short.
