To be clear, my "yes" was to the question as I understood it, if my group always plays out round by round combats even when combat seems to be a foregone conclusion for the PCs. The answer to this is Yes. Since I know some DMs prefer to handwave this situation and just narrate the results, I...

Yep. This is basically how I do it. It could be the same, it could be harder (other monsters moved in, or they've had more of a chance to fortify and set traps, etc), it could be they hear of another party who got wealth and fame from having done it and now it is an empty place. The kind of...

Yes.

I don't try to steer them, but I can't help but sometimes hope they make a specific choice. But do love when I harbor that hope and what they end up choosing to do instead turns out to be better.

To me a sandbox means more than "you can do it in any order." Instead, characters having a meaningful in-game influence on the direction of their adventures within limits set by the DM which can be relatively narrow but also potentially global/planar. Yes, you can use pre-published or other...

This thread is like a Greatest Hits of every ENWorld argument ever all at the same time! :ROFLMAO:

As someone who plays in your game, I suddenly feel hoisted by my own petard. 🤪

Personally, I find even the stinkiest stinker to be more inspiring to make something interesting from that most other monster books I’ve encountered (from WotC/TSR at least). But anyway this thread is not about arguing the merits of these books (as I suggested in the OP) but just about...

For tomorrow’s session: Plus I reviewed my own 5e adaptation of the Gibbering Mouther.

Yes! And frequently I have a "I have ruined this mini and may give up" phase before I realize I am overreacting - esp. the first few after even a short break from painting

I ran through this adventure as a player in 2000 (my first 3e character).

I kept AC hidden when I used THAC0. We just had modified THAC0 numbers on the PC sheet, they’d subtract the d20 result from that number and tell me the result which is what AC they hit and I’d tell them if that was good enough. It worked fine for us for over a decade, and I don’t think it was...

They look amazing to me! Nice work.

Made some tweaks to my version of the warlock to match up the recent development of the setting's cosmology

These were metal minis. .. so that tracks.

Did you know that White Lotus season 3 contains a Star Wars riff?

I love a Taylor Ham breakfast. The second best thing to come out of Jersey after Bruce Springsteen and just barely beats out William Carlos Williams.

Nice! I have minis I got early on in my mini painting career that were so fiddly to pin and put together that I gave up and have returned to intermittent years and have given up on repeatedly. I finally assembled one of them successfully but I think I still have 2 in a bits box somewhere. In...

OK. . .for real this time. . . Here is the latest thing I have been working on Chapter 17 of my homebrew setting and 5E ruleset, "Gods & Cosmology." I know it is kind of a mess in its current form, but I wanted to get all this info down and sometimes when I am on a roll I just go for it. It...
