    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the polearm and taking back its seat as generally best nonprojectile weapon from the sword.

    It would seem a 'wall' of pikeman would be difficult to combat but a single one not nearly as effective. I would have thought if a weapon had say a 10ft reach anyone inside that reach is hard to hit (disadvantage?), they might not be perfect in the rules but I don't think that need to be...

    D&D General What do you allow in your games? (NSFW)

    Bestiality - an occasional crude joke would be all. Bigotry - happens all the time. Cannibalism - yes not often but current situation has players finding some prisoners of which some they believe are cannibals, I left them trying to decide who they should free. Genocide! - as a threat or...

    Real Life Places That Inspire You As A DM

    Just about anywhere I go I see places I think I can use (away from modern civilisation at least) - I often take photos so I can remember the feel to inform my players. Plenty of wonderful images out there far better than I can manage as well. Since I do not have my laptop handy I can't share...

    When did you bait & switch and how did it go? (Spoilers)

    Bait and Switch works best with plot lines not so mach with system or settings changes. I try and have a few of these in a campaign - they generally only work when it is an 'oh yea' moment by the players. That is they put the clues together which take them from one conclusion to another, if...

    D&D General Define Problem

    I think the wording of 'It is a problem if' is too strong for at least some of these, they are 'may be a problem'. I have come across some I have found an issue but general these can be solved in game without too many issues.

    D&D 5E (2014) The "everyone at full fighting ability at 1 hp" conundrum

    I find with the group I run, as the characters run out of hit points it changes what the players do. So even though the 'fighting ability' has not lessened in games terms, the players react differently - more conservatively - and this to me is a reduction in 'fighting ability'. It might help...

    OD&D First Character Death

    Playing AD&D in about 1980 - I had a Ranger who was killed (was a TPK) fighting a group of Carnivorous Apes. Very messy end to all of us.

    D&D General How did you deal with Command: "Blaspheme!"?

    If you made a High Priest or even a lesser servant do it in front of other followers it might not be the god the wails on them but the other followers.

    May not be helpful or relevent to your situation and you may already have tried it. When I started up D&D 5E campaign when it was first came out I had not run a game for 25+ years, I was still good friends with a couple of my original group, but some Ihad not seen for that long - I reached out...
