I am having a hard time parsing this response. So you are saying it not fair to say if a mage hand is limited to lifting 10bs, it can only apply 10 lbs of force - ok, so how many lbs of force can it apply? I was literally asking that.

Hey all! So I have a full and working draft of every chapter of my homebrew rules available on Google drive for those interested in downloading the PDFs - just let me know and I will share the link. I am also doing the first playtest session this Wednesday and hope to be scheduling more in the...

Oh and because I love to drop references to it and because others mentioned D&D sources themselves as inspiring media (like BG3 and Critical Role), my compiled story hour of my "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign has a higher word count the Lord of the Rings (approximately 480,000 words vs...

I can't speak for others, but I think limiting what inspires D&D players to fantasy is a missed opportunity. For example, for fun but also for inspiration for my current homebrew setting, I have been watching all the videos on the fantastic history You Tube channel, Historia Civilis esp. the...

I was gonna say this (I do love it) but for me it is the original U1-U2-U3 modules that are the classics, and GoS is riding that wave. (and there have been more recent classics than those, obvi)

Red Hand of Doom

This is exactly how we did it when 3.5 came out and it was never really a problem. I never owned the 3.5 DMG or MM. So basically, we only changed most player facing stuff. I know everyone has different preferences, but depending on your group, I'd say don't sweat it, just change (or don't...

8d8 citrus (i.e. acid) damage + 8d8 bludgeoning damage! Fantastic spell!

Is it safe to assume that if a mage hand can only carry 10 lbs, that is can also only apply 10 lbs of force? (I wish it had a Strength score). I ask this because I can imagine plenty of traps that mage hand might not serve to set off.

It's all D&D to me.

We still currently use 1 hour short rests and like someone else said above, I find they use them about once or twice per adventuring day, sometimes 3 times. Never have I seen 4. Plenty of times it can also be 0, of course. Whether a short rest is even possible is something the players usually...

That is part of my ideal set up.

As long as they are legible I don’t give a toot. I have one player who occasionally uses dice that are too hard to read and she struggles. It is not that I don’t trust her (and when we play online I let everyone roll their own dice in person and use the honor system), it is that it takes her too...

I have a 64” x 44” dining table I got from a secondhand/ goodwill shop a few years ago that has two leaves, each one can extend it 16 inches, so at max it is 8 feet. It was pretty beat up but for $40 and the amount of use I have gotten out of it, it is more than worth it. I usually only use 1...

I was coming to mention this one. I ran it back in 2E days but plan to run it again for 5e. I also always wanted to do a sequel where every thing is giant sized.

I recently ordered a mini that was perfect for an encounter likely to happen in tomorrow's session but it had arrived with just barely enough time to be painted before the session when we had a plumbing emergency that ate up so much time, other things having a higher priority than finishing it...

Also, just because advancement stops at level 10, doesn't mean that you still can't use higher CR monsters, just like my level 6 group recently had to deal with a CR14 vampire - they just couldn't fight it head on. EDIT: I originally wrote "can" when I meant can't. Ooops! :oops:

"Advancing mechanically is only one area of the game we call D&D."

I can't decide between B/X and 2E with Combat & Tactics (not Skills & Powers).

Ha! My guess you'd be even more turned off that hitting level 7 can take 3 or more years of playing! Getting to11th level (which was a 3.xE game) took 5 years of playing for 5 to 6 hours every other week. (Anyone interested can download the compiled and revised complete story hour in PDF form...
