    D&D 5E (2014) I'm not saying it's just an easy caravan guard job, but... (LMoP) (IC)

    It seems prudent to say some things here to help resolve this; while I know we're mature enough to keep this civil, this seems a good time to step in and perhaps say a few words. :) First, Kobold Stew, if someone wants to run their character by random dice rolls, that does not affect your own...

    About fifteen minutes later, you spot a rope across the path, which is somewhat cleverly connected to a log; the whole thing somewhat cleverly designed to swing down and hit anyone stepping on the rope. The path it would swing through appears to have been cleared of larger obstructions such as...

    You have advantage on your next Perception check. Make a perception check, please. Lawful Evil is such a nasty way to phrase it. j/k

    30 ft is easily enough to hide. If you've never gone off trail in the woods, it's easy to underestimate just how easy it can be to get out of sight. The only reason I did so was the trail followed a river; I was paralleling the river, not the trail. If I paralleled the trail, I would have gotten...

    It is probably a marketing decision; probably that people buy more .pdfs if they're released slowly.

    Is anyone else trailing along, or just a little bit off?

    The brush isn't that dense; as long as you keep within about twenty feet, you can keep track of the trail at all times. OTOH, anything on the trail will also be able to see you fairly easily. You could go further from the trail, but that would require perception checks (to keep track of the...

    With cat-like reflexes, you leap clear of the collapsing ground. The "ground", now revealed to be dirt and leaves piled on branches, collapses down into dark pit. The collapsing debris sends birds clamouring into the sky, and attracts the attention of an angry squirrel, who clearly blames you...

    Does anyone know if it contains the errata and updates? Johh Miller-Wells: I purchased the .pdf when it was first released, and I received this release automatically. So it seems so.

    You hear the shriek of a falcon, and see, through the trees, some sort of large bird come crashing down on a poor, defenceless, probably delicious rabbit. You've been following the trail for about a half-hour, and aside from the recent natural rabbiticide, things have been fairly peaceful as far...

    Good inkjet paper for printing .pdfs (North American retailers)?

    I'm looking for printer paper for printing off .pdfs that I buy. The printer paper I have now is 20 lb, and colour covers are visible from the other side. Brands, actual product, lbs of paper, descriptors, etc. are all good info. What I know about printer paper can be summed up as "high lbs =...

    No problem here. I've found that I seem to come across, to people online, as more serious than I actually am - Sometimes a lot more serious. I suspect I'm a bit "socially tone-deaf".

    The oxen and cart look concealed to the viewers. -------- That assistance rule makes a certain amount of sense, but I reserve the right to require more helpers for larger tasks, or disallow helping for some tasks, such as ones where all players are subject to the roll.

    Just to confirm; you successfully got the wagon off the road, and with those two rolls, I'll give you Advantage on concealing it; a Wisdom (Stealth) roll. The oxen, of course, immediately start munching on nearby grass once the cart is parked.

    While two oxen are not the sort of prey a small wolf pack likes to contemplate, there are other predators prowling the bushes, as recent events, and discoveries, make clear. The underbrush is light enough, and the trees thick enough that you could conceal the cart off the path. Taking two oxen...

    Perhaps I should clarify: The perception checks aren't to follow the trail. They're just to see what you notice other than the trail.

    If you do follow the trail, I'll need Perception (Wisdom) checks from everyone. I won't require a Survival (Wisdom) check to follow the trail at this time, as it is quite clear. It is currently around 2 PM in the afternoon, and reasonably warm for the area. Which, for the tundra plains-raised...

    Put Your d20 On Trial!

    After having tried this and having far too many dice fail, does anyone know of any company that makes high-precision, high-quality dice for tabletop RPGs? I've heard that casino dice are manufactured within 1/5000 of an inch. That level of quality sounds good. The other alternative is a...

    Each goblin has equipment which can be classed as leather armour, a shield, a scimitar and a shortbow, all sized for a small humanoid (or goblinoid), and 23 silver pieces in total. There's nothing negative, socially, attached to looting bodies you just killed (in general). Honourable enemies...
