Well, let me tell you about our old party, know as "Eco patrol". We looted everything that wasn't bolted down with adamantium bolts, untill we had enough for adamantium crowbar, then we looted those adamantium bolts too. Also, party started to demand advanced pay to go out and deal with stuff...

How? I can see this happening if DM lowers treasure, but keeps prices by PHB. Maybe you never looted properly :D Again, how? Unless you only fight incorporeal, aberrations and beasts, sooner or later, there will be someone wearing plate armor. If you are playing Dark Sun, then sure, metal full...

It requires some work and effort to not only reprice items, but to adjust treasure. It's decent baseline. Yeah, VTT have their own tables probably, so modifying them is PIA. But for in person game, it's not that big of a hassle. Best of all, once you set up economy up to standard of realism...

Same. After level 3-4, when fighter gets his full plate (and in earlier editions, party buys at least one wand of CLW), gold becomes superfluous, specially in 5e, since there is no magic market. At least in past editions, we saved up for enchanting items, buying more powerful magic items, saving...

Funny enough, i did pay 10 bucks for something like that. It's interesting read, and best of all, it's system and edition neutral. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/13113/grain-into-gold

TBH, prices in D&D were always wonky. Economy of d&d world also never made much sense when compared to real world economy. It's better to just not to think about it too much.

I'm lazy DM. I usually only have very crude, bare bones outline of the setting to begin with. My process goes something like this. Get together with guys for a coffee/beer. Give short sales pitch about idea for campaign. This includes brief description of the setting, this includes style and...

Depends on what you consider morally repulsive and where you draw the line (mine is active use of slave and/or child labour and scamming customers and i would never knowingly buy shares of companies that do that, no matter the profit). WoTC didn't really make any morally repulsive shenanigans as...

I voted 1 cause 0 isn't an option. I'm buying their product, not their stocks. If company makes product that i like and want, i buy it and don't give 2 cents about company that made it and their corporate shenanigans. I look at shenanigans when i'm investing in stocks, cause it can directly...

Stats wise, i like WoD approach. 9 stats. 3 physical, mental and social. Offense, defense and resilience. Dnd merges mental and social together. But approach is similar for most of editions. Str was offense (to hit, damage), Dex was defense (AC) and Con is resilience (HP). Mental was roughly...

No, you don't need to spend a dime. Rules will be out in SRD and OGL, which is enough to play game for essentially free. Old books aren't invalidated, since this is just update to original 5e. You can mix and match old and new. They specifically kept most of core 5e untouched because of...

For me personally, GG never meant anything. I didn't even know he existed well after i started playing D&D, and even then, i couldn't care less. Yeah, he "invented" ( or rather, popularized) ttrpgs. Good for him. If it weren't him, it would be someone else. But as far as d&d is concerned, Gygax...

Go all out, make it ultimate power fantasy. Everything is overpowered. Throw balance in garbage bin. On more serious note, ditch classes. Point buy, fixed point budget depending on type of power level you want. So it can easily scale from grim and deadly to superhero. More flexibility for...

I judge products based on their own merit, not based on who made it. Will this new version be hit or miss, it's up to market to decide. If people like it and want to buy it and play it, good for them and good for company that made product that resonates with it's customer base. As for DC20...

In October it will be 16 years of gaming with this group. In this group, there is my HS friend with whom i'm gaming for 20 years and my younger brother with whom i play for 18 years.

Olypics and combat sports is weird. People competing at Olympics are pro athletes, yet when it comes to combat sports, they insist on amateur rules (boxing, probably MT also if it becomes a thing). Dutch style kickboxing, with shin guards and headgear, could be very good Olympic sport, with full...

That kind of thinking is what made modern TKD the way it is. Laughable point touch sport with minimal contact. If they can't handle proper full contact combat sport, maybe it's better to remove them all together, rather than ruin it.

I think that's because people here lean on the older side. From anecdotal experience, most groups break due to big life changes ( going from hs to college, from college to work). You know, as you get older, social circle gets smaller, but stronger.

Watched lots of it since there was heat wave and going to beach was no no before 16-17h. Few random thoughts after watching it. I don't like they banned leg grabs in judo. Taekwoondo is rubbish. It needs to go away. It's barley even combat sport. Can we finally get proper full contact...

In 10 y of playing 5e, there wasn't a single time someone took lance. It always rubbed me wrong the way they did lance. Glad they finally added 2 handed property. On foot, lance is just very bad spear, and everything that can be used with spears ( polearm master) should be usable with lance...
