Currently reading guides on how to communicate effectively (basically, how to sound less like a jerk). My recent posts have shown I need it.

Mystic was one of the very early, if not the first, classes they did for UA. I wouldn't be surprised if this year they were not starting to beta test some class concepts in preparation for a UA book later in the year.

I probably should have worded that better. I meant that is Paypal is your only possible method to get revenue, you should not trust them and prepare as though you may go bankrupt tomorrow. Because Paypal can, and has, seriously hurt businesses they suddenly decided were untrustworthy which made...

I stopped trusting Paypal years ago, after they blocked funds for two charities due to the high number of transactions those charities had. Both charities, as I remember, ended up badly burned by it. After the second instance, I decided to walk away. And this is the latest in a long, long line...

I agree. The entire way they've talked about the Mystic makes me wonder if they're not going for a ki/chi = psionics stance. Which... completely misses, by a long mile, what both chi and psionics are.

Same here... M&M is where my truly crazy characters are. Then there's the GURPS campaign where I played a toaster.

Hold an auction where they claim they brought the paladin back to life and are trying to sell the paladin to former enemies to torture. Make certain the PCs hear about this. Have it be a trap. Especially if combined with one of the Paladin-is-intelligent options offered earlier in thread.

And another one, this time with me as the player and someone else as the DM. Eating ham or bacon are banned at the table. Why? Because the group agrees they get unhealthy amounts of pork just listening to me when I'm in-character.

A lesbian elf stripper ninja-style rogue that is really a 400-pound orc man. Make it a point to play this one as over-the-top as godly possible. A wild mage sorcerer who is a mad scientist supervillain in personality. Best if played with a CG alignment. Remember, the key to being a supervillain...

Which I think is exactly what the Force doesn't want. The main problem the Jedi had was they became so invested in their mission, so invested in training for war, that they ended up creating Sith. Remember, Vader and Tyranus were both former Jedi. And the growing corruption caused by their...

With a name like that, I am secretly hoping he's his own ancestor through a closed time loop. Giving it a read, and definitely enjoying!

Describe the terrain they are passing through. Include a few interesting sights along the way. Don't be afraid to toss in a random non-adventure encounter, like the players passing a prey animal or seeing other travelers headed back to town. And, this is most important, research the terrain...

I make a simple character profile and then ask myself, "what's the first mental image that crops up with this?" And that's how I describe my character. Well, except for the times it's a character race totally unplayable in the game. Then I have to go for the second image. A cyborg ferret is...

Playing DnD pleases our [REDACTED] overlords, helping delay the launch of [REDACTED] that will [REDACTED] us and lay waste to [REDACTED].

Happy new year!

Make certain your players are comfortable with the idea before you even try it. And make certain you know what your players are comfortable with when choosing who they swap with. Don't be afraid to err on the side of caution if you are uncertain.

I think Rey is completely unrelated to the Skywalkers, has never bee trained by Luke, and is just some random girl who lived on a desert world. She's part of the Force reawakening in people. A new generation, or even new type, of Force user. Vader brought balance to the Force, and did so by...

I got my idea from a certain quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Yeah, that does not go smoothly at all for most DnD groups I've dealt with. There are a lot of players that would get upset if you did that to them. I would be disgruntled as well. Plus, as a DM, I've found it more fun to just give them the information and watch as they not realize its...

I admit my comment was focused primarily on small-unit tactics, like the typical adventuring party, and wasn't true of everything. And while I could see it, it would logically result in a dead wizard. Person trying to drag a body away? Probably a cleric or necromancer, so either way you want to...
