No. You're just confused. You only make one save, when you first see a sharktocrab. If you fail it, you are confused, and there is no need to make further saves. You're probably right. A huge version would have 10 ft. reach with its bite and pincers, more hp, and a slightly higher AC with...

About two or three years, I think? it was a while ago. And yes, and it's a Silver best seller on DriveThru RPG actually (I know that's not all that impressive, but I've had a rough couple of years, let me take some pride where I can find it). The Singularity System. It's a setting-neutral...

Sharktocrab. His fly speed should be a swim speed instead, I whoopsed. Bizarre Hybrids. It is clearly a time honored tradition among wizards to combine animals into one mutant animal with the properties of both. Chimera, owl bear, dragon turtle, hippogriff, Jackalware, Kenku, all these and...

I too have always thought this was strange. It made more sense to me for gargoyles to have a neutral alignment, whether fluffed as animated statues or as HUMANOIDS vaguely associated with Elemental Earth. How did the Aarakokra get off of Krynn I'M SO CONFUSED (but then again I like the idea of...

I voted "Other" because in a perfect world I would like WotC to pay ME to help update Greyhawk to 5E. If that doesn't happen (I'm not holding my breath), as a consolation prize I would be equally happy with WotC updating Greyhawk to 5E or doing it myself. Update is a word that seems to need...

I was about to say, is it going to fix Trump too!?!? Anyway, thanks Morissey Morrus. Guess I'll wait for that.

I've been going to my Friendly Semi-Local Gaming Store which has EIGHT tables of D&D 5E (ostensibly Adventurer's League but in reality each DM is just doing whatever I want which I have no problem with) all of them reliably packed with EIGHT OR MORE people. Found myself seated at the least...

Hi guys! Ludography is a word that basically is to games as discography is to music or bibliography to books; it's a word I myself just learned in the last 5-10 years. From 2012 to 2017 I was co-owner, lead editor, and line developer of End Transmission Games LLC, now defunct. We published six...

Personally, 3.5 is my favorite edition of Dungeons & Dragons. It is not perfect, but I know its flaws well and have developed workarounds for the ones that come up most often. (Pathfinder does make some improvements but also adds complexity, and there's the "false compatibility" issue.)...

Overall, I am probably one of the most miserable, vicious bastards you'll ever meet. EXCEPT when I'm GMing or DMing. Part of it is professionalism. Lots of the GMing I've done was of my own games at convention demos and the pressure was on to do a fantastic job (while being extremely patient and...

So, I have combed the Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual, not exhaustively but pretty thoroughly, and for whatever reason I haven't been able to find where it tells you how it is determined how you calculate the number of hit dice that monsters and monster-like NPCs (for lack of a...

"Greyhawk 5E" is one of the projects I'll be working in coming months, but it will be divided into small, unrelated modules at first. Every setting where there isn't Vecna is inferior to one where there is. Fact. Science. But that's okay. Because Vecna is a planeswalker, coming to your Material...

I think this is a start, I'm gonna take it and run with it.

Nice! One of my favorite mythological figures, actually, Mike, as well as Modred. Morgan/Morgana represents a literary/fantasy/mythic archetype I'm a little obsessed with right now, the "Dark Queen", with (the original) Maleficient being a very visible example. The insect wings feel like a...

Tormyr, I haven't looked it over yet but it's excellent that you did this. Age of Worms is one of the best campaigns/"adventure paths" I've ever seen, and it's great to see it available for what seems like the only edition of D&D 99% of people are actually playing.

It seems like characters and creatures meant to benefit from flanking have the Pack Tactics ability. I've considered adding 3.5E flanking rules amongst my house rules but I don't want to add fiddliness or complexity.

Edit: oh, nevermind.

This is an EXPANSIVE question. I like that DnD Fifth is simplified and streamlined enough that it is clearly bringing SCORES of new folks into the hobby. I don't like that to those people, 3.5, my favorite edition, will seem like calculus in comparison. (Short answer, but if I were to actually...
