Not playing 2024 5E, but is there a difference between it and 2014 in terms of using minis? Anyway, I have loved using minis since 2E days but will also use TotM for scenes where it makes sense. I actually love starting a potential combat scene as TotM and then reveal the pre-drawn map. I also...

6th to 10th level (but 10th is pushing it)

This reminds me of an ability I gave my homebrew "Bearowls."

This Saturday (assuming I am up for it, since I’ve been battling the latest round of daycare crud my kid brings home), I am running session #57 of my 5e (2014 + houserules) game - Revenants of Saltmarsh- from 11 am to 2 pm. That evening some friends are throwing a board game night but I am...

I will also say that despite kinda not always being on board with the changes and ideas @mearls has been showing on his patreon (I am a supporter) for 5E and his Odyssey version (though I've basically stolen his alignment language for my home table), I would 1000% percent play in either of those...

Sounds like Vanity Frankenstein 5E! ;) I even kept a lot of 6th through 9th level spells as one-off spells accessible as 10th level ability (but with potential drawbacks) and for use as "ancient magic to be uncovered" in dungeons and the like.

Yeah. I got it as a keepsake and something to share with the curious.

This is funny to me because in the game I mentioned above there is a player named Craig. 🤭

One of my groups plays over Zoom and I have started using Zoom’s AI tools to write session summaries and they are surprisingly good (though there have been a few hilarious conclusions it makes that requires cleaning up the text). Thanks @Mistwell for inspiring me to try them.

Yeah this is basically how I list similar AC in my customer stat blocks. I actually go a step further and list AC with shield and without shield. Yes, I can figure it out on the fly without the number there but when there are multiple hobgoblins, some of which are fighting with sword and shield...

Leaving aside the matter of what a stat block represents (which. I personally disagree with vehemently but it doesn’t seem much point in arguing it). . . If you (general you) will indulge me getting on my usual hobby horse for a moment these claims always bug me out because they have never...

Sometimes a player needs a meta explanation for the game to go smoothly. Not always, but sometimes. In the first 5e campaign I ran, a PC found himself isolated from the rest of the group (never follow partying hippies to a second location without back up 🤭) and got jumped by a bunch of...

I couldn’t read the changes in dark mode. Not a big deal (I can switch) but thought you might want to know since I think a lot of people use dark mode

I want there to be spells that summon actual animals and ones that summon a pack of spirit animals with special Force damage attacks. But if I had to choose one, for my own preferred flavor I'd pick the former. But then again, I have no fear of cheese weasels. When a druid in my game wildshapes...

Huh. I read that before it was a novel it was a highly modified d20 Future game.

I think I prefer books that feel like they could be an RPG setting or are based on a homebrew game. For example, despite some weak writing and some uh problematic stuff, I do enjoy Lawrence Watt-Evans’s Ethshar novels, which has for example several different sources of magic and magic “classes.”...

I like a fried egg on my pizza these days.

Like this thread, which I did not notice until today, I have never noticed (or heard of) these disclaimers!

It's a fortnight? :p But I don't know, it just seemed like a good number. Do you have another recommendation?
