    D&D General Leaning into the tropes

    If only it were true. We have not one bludgeoning or finesse polearm with 10 foot reach despite numerous historical or fantasy examples.

    D&D 5E (2014) Opportunity Attack around a Corner: Yes or No?

    Sometimes it's best to step away from the VTT. Go stand next to a corner about 2.5 feet away. You can clearly see almost all of the space around the corner without even shifting your body. At most shifting your head is all that is required to see around it. It's only if you hug the wall...

    One Year of VTT Play

    VTT has been great. I've played more D&D but still can't find groups for games outside of D&D like WFRP that are in my time zone. If you are a GM you can turn your hobby into a side gig making $30 an hour. Not a bad way to make some scratch.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha's Drow Art and the Future of Their Depictions in D&D

    The new art is just bad because it looks flat, lacks contrast and some of them look over exposed, washed out, and they didn't even bother with a backgound. WotC's art department just needs to do better. I've seen miniatures that are better painted. Dark skin is beautiful and they shouldn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you improve Dragon+, WotC's Online Magazine?

    Can you link to or explain why a print version of Dragon Magazine isn't possible? Because I have near my desk a copy of White Dwarf and I'm wondering why WotC can't do it if GW can at $9 an issue. Every article I've read on the topic of print media says that general interest magazines are...

    D&D 5E (2014) AoE spells: Do you play by RAW or RAI?

    A druid, a wizard, and a warlock with Thornwhip, Lightning Lure, and the Grasp of Hadar invocation. 😁

    D&D 5E (2014) can a Rogue reroll a SA dice with the piercer feat?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but with Tasha's optional rules you can swap a weapon proficiencies provided by your race. So a Dwarf Rogue can swap a warhammer and battleaxe proficiency for a heavy crossbow and whip.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I cast a reaction spell and an action/BA spell on my turn.

    War Caster feat allows an opportunity attack using a one action spell targeting only the creature. I assume that means no fireball even if it would only target that creature. When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell...

    D&D 5E (2014) AoE spells: Do you play by RAW or RAI?

    An issue with area of effect spells keeps coming up in our campaign and I'm wondering how many people play by rules as intended: "Our design intent for such spells is this: a creature enters the area of effect when the creature passes into it. Creating the area of effect on the creature or...

    Help with atmospheric lighting

    It would be epic to have the lights sync to whatever music you play in the background. If the party travels at day, keep 'em bright. When the party is travelling at night turn them down to a dark blue light. In Avernus, red or orange of course. Edit: I don't think the attachment worked, so...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Year of Downtime

    They should be ruling Elturel like the Council of Four rules Baldur's Gate. Divide the city into a number of sections equal to the number of characters in the party that saved Elturel. Have them do a bunch of skill checks to see how the section that they ruled over has prospered over the past...

    Druidcraft and It's Many Uses

    You should have said sure, you create a gust of wind that creates a hurricaine via the butterfly effect in Kara-Tur that wipes out a small fleet of fishing boats.

    Pogre's 2021 Miniatures and Models Thread - Yuan-ti group, Water Weird, and some Skinks.

    Is it the horrible mold lines or bad pre-priming that swore you off?

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Rider Forced Movement

    Also look at the spell. For Thorn whip there is no save on a successful hit but there is no risk of falling prone either. So the character is moved on a successful hit but on their feet would be RAW and probably RAI. Maybe give a PC the option to save vs being dismounted if they have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with ideas for a low-magic zone mechanic

    In Faerun it's written into the lore. From the Forgotten Realms Wiki: Dead-magic zones, collectively known as the legacy of Helm,[1] were areas of space in which magic ceased to function. They were one of the lasting effects of the Time of Troubles.[2] Creation Most dead magic zones were...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why are folks down on the Phantom Rogue

    Treantmonk did a video on this subclass. I think he said the trinket things should have been a third level perk. The best stuff comes too late in the game.

    D&D General Music making software for D&D background?

    Garageband is free on the ipad. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to make orchestral music on the ipad with Garageband. There's a twitch streamer (Alpha Gaming iirc, he's also on YouTube) that started producing royalty free music that he puts on Spotify. Streamers can use his music in...
