    RPG Evolution: We Should Wait for Jarnathan to Get Here

    I had the sewer maintenance crew in a city were red shirts. This was to hide the blood from cleaning up things, but also as a homage to Star Trek since it became a running joke that they kept dying. It did prevent the PCs from trying to disguise themselves as one.

    Spoilers Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning

    At this point, I'm not even sure I have seen all of the movies in this franchise. At what point is it time for a reboot or another origin story like 007.

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] Position filled: Senior Narrative Worldbuilding Designer (+My Application) [Positive Thread]

    I like that you included the pronunciation of your name. I do not think that Hasbro would jump at selling dnd to Piazo to make it a B-corp.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about change shape and Paladin Divine Sense

    If they lose the type, does this make them lose what a fiend is? I'm thinking alignment and being a being of always evil, where a humanoid can be any alignment. Could make for some good encounters where the fiend stays changes for so long that they develop some good tendencies, only to revert...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using general Feats when your ability is already 20

    I would not have a problem with taking the feat and just missing out of the ability boost. Some might think the problem is having the 20 in a stat at first level. The game is not designed that way and using the standard array prevents this, and allows for growth to the 20 stat over levels 4...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    A lot of sports games have a referee that watches for cheating or infractions/fouls. He may not be assuming that all the players are trying to cheat until he catches them cheating. Sometimes a player commits a foul in the course of play and it might be not deliberate. Other times it might be...

    D&D 5E (2024) Gencon 2025 Forgotten Realms Dev Panel

    I thought the title was about Dev Patel the actor being at Gencon.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    TIBF? I'll keep asking people to spell out the acronym the first time they use it in a thread, although I admit I skipped 300 pages catching up on the back and forth. I tried to look this up and only found Tokyo/Tehran International Book Fair and something about Tibetan Breastfeeding. Either...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    The point is to not have to say 'magic' lets you just do things and now we can now add 'psionics'.

    D&D General Lego Sandbox vs Open Sandbox (and other sandbox discussion)

    My wagon merchant, Stroker Ace was into underground wagon races but that was more a backdrop for getting into problems that needed adventuring. The PCs were a bit like the A-Team traveling the circuit helping people out.

    D&D General How to DM, best resource

    I first thought these two ideas myself. How did I learn to DM? I played a few/several times and then saw some of the other kids being the DM and tried it myself. I'm sure most was terrible at first. Maybe another tip might be to play a few times, make a small dungeon with you there to help...

    Arrive AT or Arrive TO?

    A lot of big, fancy wordsmithing there. Sounds a lot like you are trying to get me to switch to the Metric System or something. ;)

    Arrive AT or Arrive TO?

    You mean arrived at the same conclusion, right, right. I would never say got/get/gotten at, such as; when did you get to the party.

    What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?

    Better than this gender reveal. But, there is no test to have children, at least you need a drone license.

    Wish vs. Miracle

    Maybe they are the same thing? At least in my brain nowadays. Like if I was ever playing one of them and someone wanted to bring a PCs in from the other. I'm guessing it would be fine, but I tend to just play 5e.

    D&D General Lego Sandbox vs Open Sandbox (and other sandbox discussion)

    I'm not sure I would like to run or play in a sandbox where everything is being created on the fly. There should be the large blocks in place, at least for something more than a 1-shot or intro game. There should be the idea of a village with an inn and temple and a few NPC names. There...

    Wish vs. Miracle

    I give a pass to new members. I find a lot of people have their first post in an old thread. There might be a point though.

    D&D General Lego Sandbox vs Open Sandbox (and other sandbox discussion)

    I feel that there should always be stories going on. I recall reading something about NPCs and always having something important to them that need right now. The guy driving the wagon on the road is trying to get to town before dark since he was attacked by bandits last night or he has...
