Of course it is. Just as taking the dash action is separate from moving. Taking the attack action gives you one or more weapon attacks (or shoves, or grapples) that you can take or not depending on the circumstances.

The shield bash requires the attack action, regardless of other considerations. If you don't have the Shield Master feat, the shove takes the place of an attack, so any way you parse it a character who makes a shove has taken the attack action. If you have multiple attacks and your first attack...

You're certainly able to rule on the timing however you feel is appropriate as the DM. If you think JC was correct 3 years ago, cool. If you think JC is correct now, cool. What's not cool is the idea that somehow JC can change his mind on Twitter and somehow magically change the game in any...

So... if a Barrier Peaks adventure is going to be on the DMs Guild, does that mean that Greyhawk is now opened up as a setting on that platform?

You have to play up Barovia itself as an enemy, with Strahd just an avatar of corrupted Barovia. Show your players some extra creepy stuff, like have a bloodbath in Valaki with dozens of bodies in the streets, werewolves/vampires triumphant, main buildings in flames. Then, the next time the...

The Kobolds have added pdf reward tiers to the Kickstarter, as requested by pretty much everyone. I've now backed the KS.

Certainly. I backed it.

I would also like to know why they are charging $5 more for the Fantasy Grounds version than they are for the Roll20 version. I know it isn't because of a lack of conversion support from SmiteWorks. It seems like there's a bit of "let's poke them with a stick and see if they get mad" to this...

I figure anyone who makes a habit of hopping over a bonfire with loins ungirded has nothing to fear from a wee polyhedron.

Probably because "we don't trust you a-holes not to share the pdfs you buy" wouldn't be an effective way to make friends online.

I'm sure piracy is the factor. They specifically refer to Wizards not producing pdfs, and that's Wizards' rationale. The dumb part of that, though, is that you can look at WotC as an example of why that approach doesn't make sense. If people want a pdf of your product, they'll get it. If you...

I find this disingenuous. I have no idea how content creation for Roll20 works, but I know for a fact that SmiteWorks, the company that makes Fantasy Grounds, takes the print file for a D&D book and converts it into a module for WotC. I also am reasonably certain that converting that same file...

Let me tell you, in Austin back around '90 the Wiccans were playing a lot of D&D. There was a lot of overlap among the pagans, the SCA, and the folks from Origin Systems (makers of Ultima, Wing Commander, etc.). I never actually played D&D with Richard Garriott, but I played with a few people...

I started playing D&D about 40 years ago, and I was introduced to the game by a hispanic kid, my best friend Alberto. Since that time I have played D&D with hispanic, black, asian, and white kids and adults. In the late 80s I started playing RPGs, including AD&D, in groups that included girls...

As I understand it, if a minority business owner refuses service to a Caucasian (legally or illegally, right or wrong,) that's discrimination. If the minority business owner refuses service to a member of the business owner's minority group, that is reverse discrimination. I know some folks use...

What, now you're saying white males can't use wheelchairs?

Even if all the people in power were white, or male, that doesn't mean that all individual white people or all individual males have any power. If you don't have power, and you try to get something, and the only reason you can't have it is because of your race, gender, religion, national origin...

How? I mean, if the DM doesn't have Xanathar's, then PHB+XGE is just as much a problem as PHB+SCAG+XGE, isn't it? I suppose there's less of a chance you'll run into a character that relies on two books you don't own, but I can't see that as being much of a difference. Either way, the character...

I suspect that GGR will have a few things in it I can take for my own campaign, but the chances of me ever running a campaign in Ravnica approach zero. I don't see the appeal of Waterdeep Coruscant.

The only problem I have with the approach WotC takes to their settings at the moment is that no one can use Greyhawk or Dark Sun for products on the DMs guild. You can sell an elaborate guide for running an old series of Greyhawk modules in 5e FR, but you can't sell a guide for running that same...
