    D&D 5E (2014) "When DMing I Avoid Making the PCs have 'pointless' combats." (a poll)

    If you have 6-8 fights a day, some of them have got to be close to pointless. I suppose attrition is a part of the game.

    Those milk lovers don't look very Nordic. They must be ashamed of themselves.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I remember when I was around 12 and tried to make my own RPG. I think it was called Star Raiders or something. I must admit I also had "Attractiveness". No Nordic race though. This guy must really be into his Hitler stuff. I read somewhere once that Hitler absolutely loved Nordic people...

    Wouldn't surprise me if Dave was some sort of incel. Or did some 12 year old boy write this?

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    There was no alignment requirement for them to be evil.

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    And I would say most players are not into optimizing. If they want to play a halfling wizard, they are going to do it. They optimize after the fact.

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    So everything below 6.3 should be relegated to splat books or the Dungeon Masters Guide or the Monster Manual. So players will have a harder time finding them. That's the only objective take on this I can see.

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    Should broccoli be in the produce section? Standing shoulder to shoulder with carrots and celery? Do halflings eat broccoli?

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    I don't think dogpile is accurate. Some people just disagree with you. You claim they are wrong and they claim you are wrong. It's just a difference of opinion and I don't think you should get offended. If you are tired of trying to convince people, then stop. You can personally remove the...

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    Stories, movies, comics, etc. do not rely on randomness and dice rolls. You can't really expect a game system to replicate that. That's up to the DM. In some media, the cute things (like halflings) never die.

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    I wouldn't get too much into the philosophical meaning of fear, bravery, etc. The game has a condition that makes people scared. Halflings get some resistance against that. They don't get all jittery when scared. If some game calls that "bravery" - I'm not gonna quibble about it. DMs...

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    Still around 2500 posts more of this to come. But yeah. Basically about an errata to cut out some pages from the Players Handbook. And then take those pages and glue them to the Monster Manual. Something like that.

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    Halflings are that apex where narrative and mechanics mesh perfectly.

    Is this an evil act, or not?

    Evil and wrong are not the same thing. Only the rogue knows if it was evil. Intent is huge in these cases. Are kobolds EVIL? If not - then would the rogue have killed human babies? They WERE trying to find a cure weren't they? I get the feeling that kobolds are not EVIL and then kiddies...

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    There was a 3k post last year about errata-ing halflings out of the Players Handbook. Basically - some insisted that halflings get errata'ed out of the Players Handbook - so you would basically have to buy a splat book to play them - I forget the details.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why my friends hate talking to me about 5e.

    My DM made it so "bloodied" (under half HP) would add a level of exhaustion until you weren't bloodied anymore. He also doubled the dice of healing spells. Haven't been in a lot of combats. But it seems good for now. Definitely reduces yo-yo healing and increases the value of in-combat...

    Unfortunately, having a black woman captain is still considered "woke" by some reactionary circles.

    A critique and review of the Fighter class

    Don't forget that every level after 6, they had a 50/50 chance to basically lose a level!
