    D&D General The Grid vs. Theater of the Mind vs. a Mix [a poll & discussion]

    The different groups, and different RPGs, I have played in since early 80s have always used miniatures/tokens.

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D WotC survey asks if you read ENWORLD!

    My usual problems with these surveys is that they assume that you are playing as a player character at least part of the time. I have been a DM 100% the last 25 years so I have a hard time answering favorite character class, race or how deep backstory my character has. The generic goblin or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Most User-Friendly VTT? (Dice Games In The Time of Covid)

    D&D General How do you explain PC absences when a player has to miss a session?

    We don't explain it since the PC is there and "fully" participating. We handle it by having one of the other players playing the missing players PC in addition to his own. As the DM I reserve the right to veto any decions the absent players PC make, but so far I have never had to use it. We are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Super Deadly 5E?

    That is exactly they way I run Wraith and other undead that reduces max HP. We track damage and not current HP. So your example at my table would be: Here: (current damage 10, max HP 60) You get hit for 21 damage, Your damage goes up to 10+21=31, max HP still 60 You roll a DC 14 CON save, Fail...
