    D&D pick up lines

    @Spencer the DM welcome to the site. It is an old thread, but one not seen by many that visit here so no problem. I wonder if now 23 years later, this thread is seen more as a problem to make comments on/in. I have no problem making crude punnies, but think some might in today's society.

    latest gaming purchase ?

    Well... in the last 13 years I managed to buy several of the new 5e stuff. Looks like it might be around for a while.

    Who’s your best A-Team?

    First Blood is on right now. I voted for Hannibal, I feel the others are more of 1 dimension .

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    If people want to play heroes, then just start at a higher level. If you are talking about starting off, just roll for scores instead of standard array. I used to do it when we were 12 and everyone had an 18. Then we tried 3d6 and 1d8 to make them a bit more, more. But 5e does take power...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Nobody wants to make the hard choice. Like when there is a poll and people place the squishy 'maybe/sometimes' choice in it, instead of making people just choose yes or no and sticking to it.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Looks like Coke, which is a type of soda. If I wanted a root beer or something else that color with the fizz in it, I would ask for that. I'm even glad when I go to a restaurant and I ask for a Coke and they say, "Pepsi OK", meaning that they only sell that brand's product line. I might...

    What Media Format Is Your Preferred Campaign Style?

    I have been running more published stuff to start, but add homemade tangents depending on the players and where they want to go. I also like to have a few levels or adventures tied to something and then move onto another arc, but leave room for a big plot that ties things together. I have...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    I think there should be growth in the game. A lot of movies and books have the 'chosen' one not know it and good movies have some sort of setback and then growth before Rocky can beat Apollo/Clubber/Drago/etc... Bad movies have the chosen just be able to use the force better than Luke from day...

    IRONHEART Trailer 2

    I would like it to be entertaining, but the last several things have not been more than meh. It looks like a bit of making the suit like Tony Start and some Dr Strange magic making it powered or something. Not sure who the bad guy is but have not read the comics on this if there are any either.

    D&D General Liquids in Bag of Holding or Portable Hole?

    I wonder why nobody talks about the difference between citizen and denizen anymore. From Google: A citizen is a member of a state, usually by birth or naturalization, with legal rights and responsibilities within that state. A denizen, on the other hand, is someone who lives in or frequents...

    D&D General Liquids in Bag of Holding or Portable Hole?

    So it is a bit like a big bucket itself. If I fill it by opening it in a lake and then I want to dump it on the ground- I can just pour it out. I guess I can see both ways of looking at it. Similar to just dumping out all it contents, or back in 2e when you worried about a bag of devouring...

    D&D General Liquids in Bag of Holding or Portable Hole?

    How does the inside of a Bag of Holding (BoH) work in reference to placing something that can be spilled inside? Say someone wants to place a pot of stew or pail of paint or such that does not have a lid on it inside? Does the inside topple over and spill things out if the PC slings the bag...

    D&D 5E (2024) What battlemaster maneuver would you allow to be used at-will, if any, but without adding die roll to the effect of it?

    Would this make the Battlemaster (BM) less cool if some of his powers were taken away or rather, made available to others? I know that my table has never taken BM, but only the Champion and maybe this would make them cooler to have more options.

    D&D General I ran a good one-shot last night (post-mortem)

    Any plans of becoming a more normal game with them? I like the idea of introducing a NPC that can aid them. Since there was only 2 PCs, having someone that could go either way depending on the players is smart.

    Blood or Spaghetti Sauce?

    My table does not tend to get into details. We do not shy from it, but find it not needed that much.

    Worlds of Design: Mind Your Mercenaries

    Forgotten Realms (FR) has the Flaming Fists who make up the local guard of the city of Baldur's Gate. They seem to have come from various walks of life and a sliding scale of behavior. An element of play I like to introduce in campaigns is additional adventuring groups. The PCs might meet...
