    D&D 5E (2014) Gut-Checking to My Jerk-DM Level (ToA Spoilers)

    By RAW you can only take one long rest every 24 hours. Is that how you played it? If they are stopping after every room, then they need to wait 15 hours before the next rest...15 hours packed with tomb guardians assailing them if they decide to stand still. What level are they? Just TPK them...

    The Veronica Mars Film gave you T-Shirt, script, film poster, digital version and DVD/blu-ray physical copy with making of documentary for $100 CR gives you some dice in a bag and a pack of cards, stickers, an art print and five song downloads for the same $100 It's the worst value I've seen...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Sure but the pricing of those Kickstarters reflected much more the cost of the physical end product/s you were getting. It was more like paying a product in advance. As some of the comments above acknowledge, the pledge levels for the CR cartoon do not come close to being 'value for money' in...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Most kickstarters are for a product, which you get a copy of, i.e. you own what you backed plus some extras. In this case, the product being created is entirely separate from the rewards. You only get the extras. You don't own the cartoon. Unless I miss something. I'm just bringing it up - of...

    To me KS is the wrong platform for this.

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Looking at the reward levels and the cost of each - the swag is worth nowhere near the requested pledge at each level. Otherwise I'd back it. It looks more like raising the money to pay the respective parties for their efforts to produce the cartoon - which will be intellectual property with all...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    I love that they are doing this, but will they repay their Kickstarter investors if there are distribution deals, sale of rights to other territories and media etc.? I can see them making a fortune out of this, which should rightfully be shared with those that made it possible. Although maybe...

    B&G's Sinister Silver Edition of Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    Why am I getting visions of "The Lego Movie:Tales of the Sword Coast"...:-S

    Tiefling Hexblade

    My Hexblade player had a similar story (although he just got turned to stone in Tomb of Annihilation, sadly - see the recaps thread). He was a recruit in the Flaming Fist but a weakling who was bullied, so he made the Shadowfell pact in order to improve his martial prowess. He then murdered...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric Challenged of Helm

    I have the exact same player. Cleric of Helm (and a Dwarf to boot, Life domain). Goes along with the halfling rogue where most plans are concerned. I just let him get on with it. Although I occasionally make comments to the effect of "that's not really in line with your deity's teachings!" all...

    The New D&D Book Is Called "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" [UPDATED!]

    Haha so they sent an email delaying the announcement, of the product they refer to as "The Sinister Silver thing". So yeah, we know what it is. Just not what's going to be in the package (yet).

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    Time for my latest recaps. Another three sessions down. The first two sessions were slow, and I've quickly summarised them below before the more lengthily narrated recap I sent the players after the third session.... See previous post not too long ago for details of the party if so desired...

    The New D&D Book Is Called "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" [UPDATED!]

    On a related note Beadle and Grimm's (who did the Platinum Edition of Dragon Heist for $500) seem to be teasing an announcement coming tomorrow - 'Silver edition' of the new book seems likely from their emails...

    D&D 5E (2014) [SPOILERS] Enhancing Tomb of Annihilation

    Does anyone have any experience expanding out the Royal Palace in Omu to house more Yuan-Ti? I was reading a blog from someone who completed the campaign and had found it difficult to justify to his players how the only living quarters for Yuan-Ti were a couple of rooms in the Fane. I agree - it...

    How often do you use the Inspiration rules?

    Not to me it doesn't. If I feel Inspired I can transfer that to anything using a little imagination. In the example you cite, my character thinks "Well, I was really honest that time, so I deserve a shot to pick this lock - although it is hardly an honest pursuit - because of the 'karma credit'...

    How often do you use the Inspiration rules?

    It's not gamist - haven't you, yourself, ever thought back to an incident in the past and used it as motivation to achieve something in the present? It's a perfectly understandable concept and in fact simulates real life!

    How often do you use the Inspiration rules?

    I'm with S'mon - I give it out for cool stuff, that makes a scene more memorable in a way that melds with the character's personality, bonds, flaws etc. I will also as a secondary measure give it out for direct roleplay of a trait, bond flaw etc. but that is rarer and the same trait won't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Theorycrafting Versatile

    Are you going to keep a minimum damage of 1, or zero? Penalties to damage could reduce the damage to zero or negative. Probably why the rule as written is the way it is.

    Running Frog God’s Blight

    It's all coming back to me now - the Festival fair section, where the 'Big Top' is 15 feet in diameter according to the map lol. There is supposed to be an act involving an Owlbear which according to those dimensions would take up the entire tent! The description reads: "A very large black...
