    D&D 5E (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    Yeah, lets buff the wizard.

    Swear an oath to do no harm and illuminate the land in Mappa Mundi

    I thought of this since this game is opposite of a lot of what I play.

    D&D General How the heck do you fight a medieval war in winter?

    I do not quite understand them and have not really looked into them, but they seem to be just a way to take whatever feat you want and whatever skills you want by calling it a custom background. I was the mage tower rat catcher growing up so I have spells and Perception and Investigation skills.

    D&D General How the heck do you fight a medieval war in winter?

    You would not need bowmen unless you wanted range over firebolt. The problem might be that every soldier is a sage or acolyte and nobody can drive the wagon.

    D&D General How the heck do you fight a medieval war in winter?

    The lowest level of magic I would think is just cantrips and 1st level spells and you could change everything. a 3rd level caster attached to every 100 soldiers would be plenty to do things. It might not be the best option and if any of them are killed there would be a problem. Things would...

    Alien Earth Clip

    Maybe it just took that long for a ship to go and come back and it is present day. I'll likely watch at least the first couple to see if I like it. I never seem to watch things the day it comes out though. I like to wait until several episodes are out to binge a few.

    D&D 5E (2024) Leomunds Tiny Hut Blew Up In Their Face.

    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.

    Level Up (A5E) Encounter Building: Minimum Monster CR

    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...

    D&D General Do you play in person or online?

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

    D&D General What do you want out of your D&D/RPG games?

    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.

    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

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

    D&D General Ships & spellcasters

    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.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    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.

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    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...

    Combating My Own Boredom as a Player

    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.

    D&D General Hands slot economy

    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...

    D&D General What Campaign Would Appeal the Most?

    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.
