A dog goes a long way, or an alarm ritual at least. It is like checking the doors at your home to make sure they are locked before going to bed.

I would think that anything you can one-shot hit and kill is not worth it. Not sure where that crosses with CR but if you are level 7 and can deal 20 damage, then 1/2 CR or less is easy to kill, and throw in a fireball killing on a save is worse. Now sometimes you want a cake fight where you...

Only in person. Nothing against online, I just never tried it.

At this point I'm happy to play with friends and family. I would like to play more with another group and be a player again, but do not have the time. I like to make cool scenes for the players to enjoy and plot points to interact with, but those things are secondary.

Small is enough, if only that I do not need to write statblocks for the new thug being Tiny, SM, or Med Humanoid.

Dragon Magazine #235 had a good article on ship mages. There are a few dozen spells in this and the next article on sea spells and such as well. You need to update them though.

I do not have any of the mentioned campaign books and are waiting on the new FR book. I'll likely buy the new box set this year. Those campaign books looked like not my style. Not sure if that is Ray or not.

I like to not feel scammed or taken. I was looking at new or used golf shoes on eBay the other day and seen a few pairs I liked but the shipping was twice what everyone else was charging. I felt that they were just padding the sale and taking me for a few more dollars. I skip that even if I...

I'm confused if it is the DMs job to entertain or if the player has some responsibility. It seems to me that both share some. DMs can come is all abilities and we know some are better than others and some click with the players better, but it should not be up to the DM to dance for the players.

This part got me thinking about needing a hand free before you are able to cast a spell. Would moving a weapon to your shield hand or nesting in your armpit also part of casting the spell. Then, puling out your component which is also part of the spell be part of the spell. Would it be a...

I'm the opposite, I would rather update the Mere of Dead Men series and play 5e/5.5e. Out of the three though, I would rather the Netheril one.

Hope the players learned something. I sometimes place a safe place in a dungeon that will allow a place to rest, if the PCs find it. Maybe an old temple to good that was hidden behind a secret door or something.

There was one before. The date of the thread is next week and nothing can be posted until then. Not sure why threads can be posted with a date of release into the future though. EDIT: I should have read the EDIT.

How many places have one head of the church? Do all the gods have a head of church? Do all of them get together once a year to create rules for the little people? Can a King just declare the Pope is no longer in charge of the church and place himself there?

There would likely need to be a Valley Forge place where you can winter camp if you still wanted to wage war, otherwise most armies went home in the fall to bring in harvest and wait until next year's was planted before starting again. A good supply train would help depending on how far from...

I have not been a player since 3e days, except for going to a convention. The 4 hour games are short enough to not lose focus, even if AL games are not that interesting.

Just saw this in Dragon Magazine 106 from 1986. I think I was dying of dysentery on Oregon Trail and never heard of Trolling yet.

Sounds like a good plot device if you do not think too hard about chiseling off what would be flesh and somehow the new stuff on the outside turns into flesh instead of being something Lord Bolton (GoT) would be proud of.
