    D&D 5E (2014) Banishment and swallowed creatures

    Banishment doesn't empty your stomach. It doesn't matter what you swallowed.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e most conservative edition yet? (In terms of new settings)

    I enjoyed Rick and Morty but it hardly counts. Same for Stranger Things. I don't give a crap about Magic or Critical Role. I find Forgotten Realms an incredibly boring kitchen sink setting. So I agree, basically, with the original poster in his assessment. Something new would be nice. Pretty...

    FYI, Mystara predates 2e.

    D&D 5E (2014) It is OK for a class to be the worst

    Class A is the worst. Fix class A. Now class B is the worst. Fix class B. Repeat forever and power creep each step of the way. Great idea.

    D&D General To Domain or not to Domain?

    Players that don't shift to something else besides continued dungeon hack and slash are often the same players that get bored and want to start fresh about the time this sort of stuff would happen.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you let your player choose their magic items they get?

    The PCs can research and quest to locations that may have what they seek. Or they can pay a ton of cash to a famed blacksmith. Or they can take what they find (usually rolled randomly). But they cannot simply browse the DMG and point and say, gimme that!

    D&D 5E (2014) Retainers/followers/companions: how?

    I've used Essentials and standard MM, and customized ones always formatted as standard MM blocks.

    D&D 5E (2014) DnD 5e War Rules Help

    BECMI War Machine is best for abstracting large battles quickly, essentially a single die roll for up to thousands of troops per side. AD&D BattleSystem is best if you want to play out a miniatures battle, a couple hours with up to a few hundred troops per side. 5e Unearthed Arcana has two...

    D&D General Adventure Journal - Twenty days into adventure, still got 10 days rations

    We always track all of that stuff. Everyone complains about and ignores it, but my group considers those logistics part of the fun, and many great things result from it. You track hit points and spell slots, you can track the rest.

    D&D General To Quest or not the Quest?

    That describes most of the 5e hardcover books. Personally I dislike knowing the end goal at character creation. I prefer to start in a more "monster of the week" approach in the beginning, and allowing the "big bad" to develop over the first couple levels of play, gradually shifting toward...

    Unearthed Arcana New feat idea

    We use the gritty realism variant. I wouldn't want to add that. Maybe 1HD, but certainly no more than that.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to "reign in" new players

    You're only level 1. You can't do that yet. That should cover it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can someone hide from multiple enemies?

    Yes of course that's possible. Enemy B: Where are they? Enemy A: Right there. Enemy B: Ok, thanks. Attacks you.

    D&D 5E (2014) 2 year campaign down the drain?

    Easy, the campaign changes. They're wanted criminals now in addition to whatever is left in the book, if that plotline is abandoned, the villains continue on with their plans, probably making things even harder. Let the PCs have the consequences they deserve. Maybe the NPCs' friends ally with...

    D&D General What Style of Campaign Do You Prefer?

    I don't like campaigns that are too focused on one thing.
