I think its worth trying out for a fight or two, but I may be biased :)

Not the same thing. Medusa can do it at will. PCs cannot.

I think a "pointcrawl" for when using faster transportation such as a Lightning Rail or Airship might be useful. A pointcrawl would be an overarching map that connects the different stops for the Lightning Rail or interest points for an airship. At each point/stop, you have a "zoomed in" map...

With the price differences between our two locations, no wonder we're having such differences of opinions. As much as I hate Mississippi being 15-20 years behind the times technologically, I'm gaining an appreciation for our prices.

Well, that's one reason I stopped going to the theater... $10 here. Are you looking at the 3D version of the movie?

Nope, fully fill the tank when needed. Gas around here is $2.45 a gallon currently, so 5 gallons is $12.25, plus $2.50 coke plus $2 chips/candy = ~$16.75.

So, no Medusas?

Why do you need 5 gallons of gas for a snack? Ya'll do something in Texas we here in Mississippi don't know about? Even so, where I am at, you can do gas + drink + food item for a little less than $20. Moreover, you can do a night of game snacks for less than $10 and a fast-food meal for...

An idea for initiative - It's an ability roll vs. Dex Order goes: Highest roll that succeeded the ability roll (i.e.: Gutboy has a 15 Dex. He rolls a 13, beating the orcs who roll a 9 against their 10 Dex) Next Highest (in this case, the Orcs) ...etc. Those who failed the ability roll...

I can only speak for myself and the times I started - back in '80 my gaming group came into it blind, and I do recall ending up helping one other group that came into it blind as well. That seemed pretty common pre-internet. When I came back in 5E, I didn't go to a table that was already...

Moldvay set was ~$9 in '81, equal to about $32 nowadays. Heroquest First Light is $50. Pathfinder Beginner set is ~$42. For me, this set is overpriced, but the only thing I'd buy it for is collecting interest, not to play. I'll just have to keep watch to see if it ends up in the likes of...

A slight variation I'm doing for my custom ruleset is that when you get skill specializations, you choose two subskills and gain a bonus on those subskills. I could see it also being extended that you could do stunts related to those named subskills, especially them being little tricks you can...

Very much this. In 2014, eyes were starting to turn towards D&D, it was showing up increasingly in many areas over the years (Sarah Connor Chronicles, Futurama, Stranger Things, The Gamers, etc.), movie stars were even talking about it and streaming live plays. Covid really turned things...

Oh, I remember these things - my dad got a couple from a military surpus store in the 80's and we kids used them for taking out the trash (and keeping our hands free). As for the belt lantern, D&D has quite a few existing alternatives, mostly all magic - drift globes, sword +1 (ala Sting from...

Falus (Faa-loose) the White. A 19-year old human shadow sorcerer with alabaster skin and a haunted look in his eye. He and his friends hunted down an undead shadow haunting a local church's catacomb, and though it was defeated he was sapped of his strength and thought dead - and buried. He...

I thought the default for D&D was that demons and devils were bound to their realm, and only by summons via magic or conjurations to the Mortal Realm could they leave it. Or, that's the way it's always been in my game.

I'm to the point that I'd like to see the D&D team design a NEW campaign world, built around 5E. I don't trust them with converting old material any more and would like to see them do a campaign world from scratch that is fully fleshed out. We got a pastiche with Radiant Citadel, but I'd...

They've done it once before, maybe time to bring it back?

I think they did more than enough to make drinking a potion a bonus action. These are spells in a bottle. If the players do not feel that this is good enough, let them suffer without it or they have abilities great enough you don't need to hand them out.
