    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    on that note I have tons of old ones that i've bought from 1st ed modules on. With far less work than making my own I can run one of those in any edition. After awhile converting things on the fly just becomes easy.

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    see I like that. I can pick and choose and modify and build out my own story arc or fill a hole in my own homebrew game when I don 't have time.

    D&D General It's Session Zero! How Much Backstory Do You Give Your Character?

    really depends on the game and my mood. Could be anywhere from a novella to a sentence.

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    this has been a problem for the hobby since the beginning. small adventures are great and popular but they don't bring in the revenue that boxed sets or bigger adventure paths do. However bigger boxed sets and adventure paths take the money out of the front end and GM doesn't need to spend as...

    D&D General Humans are Blind

    Yes but remember old lowlight vision was infravision. So cold blooded creatures and undead didnt register. ultravision for ogres and a few monsters worked like imprived dark vision with color ut not underground. First and second edition it wasnt the massive always useful dark vision we have now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    ranger is necessary because I said so. It is definitely more necessary than bard so till the bard is gone I'm not even talking about it...:geek:

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    We usually do 4d6 and you can reroll if you don't like em. But you can't go back. Not that being said If someone's stat's really suck I'll bump em up to par with other players. It's not fun to have unluck follow every move you make from day one.

    D&D General "Player Skill" versus DM Ingenuity as a playstyle.

    I don't think they can. I try very hard when playing but that knowledge influences you on every level. It's why when I DM I like to change up monster descriptions do odd stuff like have a NPC leveled half ogre character leading the orcs, throw hybrid dragons at the part so when they plan...

    Level Up (A5E) New Conditions: Agonized, Forgetful, Manic, Placid, Vexed

    vexxed to me seems like a mmo condition allowing warriors and Paladins to force enemies to them like tanking in WOW or final fantasy.

    RPG Systems that allow for characters of diverse levels of Power

    I've never seen a group of players stick with a game with a more powerful mentor in the group. It always turns into the high level guy is better at everything show and then crumbles to dust and a new system takes it's place. Doctor who is fun to watch not so much to play if you don't get to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    Only think i've ever seen like that , was the damage types tables in 1st or 2nd edition. If you were stabbing a guy in chain mail you wanted piercing, if you were beating a guy in plate mail you wanted bludgeoning, ( i think). etc it had the affect you are going for but was more fiddly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Who tried to end the OGL?

    The relavance is people always think those in thier bubble in this case WOTC and the internet forums they think are important, are more important than they really are. Everyone always thinks what they see or what they hear is more important than it really is.

    D&D 5E (2014) I don’t really care what rules the players use.

    the way I handle that not being anal or OCD and often allowing things before I think it through is if necessary give the other players something to bring parity. God granted abilities, a relic, the right magic item etc. I try to keep all the players at a point that they can feel they are the...

    D&D 5E (2014) I don’t really care what rules the players use.

    Yes but a lot of times for those of us who don't care it doesn't come up till a player pulls out a book and says "I like this better" then you house rule. nothing requires you to actually think about it first.

    D&D 5E (2014) Who tried to end the OGL?

    both parties in the US election require undecided voters in undecided states to win and they are both in the process of doubling down trying to make the screaming people on thier bases happy instead of pulling to the undecided centrists who will determine the election. Yes I do think they...
