    D&D 5E (2014) It is OK for a class to be the worst

    As a guy who plays a frenzy barbarian kinda often... Exhaustion simply isn’t a big deal. Level 1: totally manageable. With inspiration and OTHER PARTY MEMBERS... it’s never been an issue. Level 2: totally manageable. I’m already faster than average so... it’s just not that bad. Level 3: been...

    Critical Role PSA: You are not Matt Mercer

    The biggest thing that the “Mercer Effect” shows is that the most important thing a game group can have is trust.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters charming PCs during combat

    He can walk through walls, move out of turn, and has legendary saves. He’ll be fine. Strahds most powerful tool in his arsenal is his mobility.

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    I’m not super versed in the technical stuff but.. The scripts are basically lines of code that you run before you start your game(by clicking a button not by actually writing it yourself), that allow added functions. The ones I have right now are a combat tracker that snaps to the character on...

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    I found the basic tutorials online to be similarly unuselful( a few good tips here and there). I found the tutorials on people macros and API scripts very useful.

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    When I started with Roll20 there were a lot of “Well... it works for now” moments. Followed in later sessions by “A-Ha! It WORKS!”.

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    I’m not sure this will help but... I’ve never had this issue myself. Maybe scale the IMAGE up? I suppose you may lose quality. Alternatively: assuming this is a map that the players might have in their inventory you can make it a handout for the players to look at at their leisure.

    Make sure the player tokens have “has sight” checked. And make sure you save THAT token to the sheet. So many times I’ve changed stuff and forgot to remove the token from the sheet and then save it.

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    So... I’d say it is worth the subscription IF you will be using Roll20 for a significant time. I’ve been using it with the same group of people for some time now: I’ve found the lighting, storage space and API scripts( pretty easy to install and add some cool functionalities)to be worth it...

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    A lot of the time that happens to me there is a small setting in the token that needs to be set. OR I changed the setting and forgot to link the new token to the character sheet.

    D&D General Best VTT for the most players?

    I ran a whole campaign with the free version of roll20. It worked out fine. The bells and whistles of dynamic lighting and fog of war are neat (and I like using them; my players too) but not necessary IMO.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why "Curse of Strahd" Is Great [Spoilers]

    CoS was awesome. And he would have defeated them ALL if not for a bizarre combination of really smart play and blind luck.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    2nd session of my Al Qadim/Dark Sun/other stuff mashup. They let the Minotaur warrior who forgets the plan regularly be the first to “sneak” down a well and into a cannibal cavern. First thing he does is light a lantern and alert the entire cave of bloodthirsty. 3 characters KOed, 2 at 1hp and...

    D&D General Which era and style/flavor of the Forgotten Realms do you play in?

    Since the FR is just... Genaria... I don’t use any established timeline or canon. None of that adds anything to my game.
