WotC has a long history of pairing up with crappy 3rd party media studios. It always struck me as a scenario where they were just looking to quickly monetize the IP rather than invest in quality. It's like there's some mandate that every D&D game needs to somehow emulate the tabletop...

In a bag of holding. He's just not sure which one.

I think they just have some kind of internal mandate to not produce a standalone product, or one that can use standard equipment. It's annoying, and the main reason why I won't buy their stuff.

I feel bad for your other players. Few things are more annoying than secret plots between the DM and another player, especially when the negatively affect the rest of the party. That's the kind of stuff that can break a group up.

I think they can jump farther as well (or something like that). I brought during the first session, to no avail. As someone who normally DM's, it just grates on me to see it excused away enthusiastically by the DM because she loves cats and doesn't know how to say no.

I'm getting annoyed with it. A player at one of my tables (I'm not the DM there) is one, and he's managed to convince the DM that he can run/jump/climb basically anything without a skill check (convenient considering he dumped STR and didn't take the athletics skill), as well as move through...

And the GM's characters are pretty unlikely to have any ability at dealing with SoS spells. Player characters, on the other hand, have many chances to do so. Players often enjoy a ton more freedom in planning or coordinating round-to-round combat, as well as the standard synergy that comes...

From the perspective of a DM, I hate most (all?) of the rituals. They seem to exist for no other reason than prevent or trivialize certain RPG tropes.

I seem to avoid bothering with the trash magic items that have overly-niche uses (create an anchor!), but I don't mind if they show up in random loot. I also don't like handing out magic armor in 5e because of the way the math works. Other than that, the most common item for me to ban or avoid...

It's not about tricking them or anything. It's all spelled out and up to them decide what to do, as is the knowledge that very few locations of any significance are going to truly isolated, unwatched, or unheard of. If they *really* want to have all the gold and treasure they find (and aren't...

I've tried different things, from extra crafting and item repair rules (getting crit damages your armor, for example) that act as money sinks to encouraging downtime activities. Ultimately, 5e just isn't well-designed in this regard and all the options felt like bad hacks. The solution I've...

Considering slings stopped being effective as armor came into use, it seems kind of weird to expect an adventurer to choose it over an actual bow.

I found the CSS entry that manages the background color for wiki threads. Unfortunately, it looks to be dynamically generated to apply to the specific wiki threads that show up when the page is refreshed. Assuming I'm not missing something here, this is a setting that Morrus will need to...

Official forums shut down and rpg.net is really toxic (or was 5+ years ago). That said, I check out of habit more than anything, and almost never find enlightened answers or questions here. giantitp.com seems to have less arguing, and rpg.stackexchange is much better for getting questions...

The players could have built their characters to deal with mages, but chose not to; that's on them.

On a similar note, blocking someone in a thread that's involved with a quote ends up displaying the wrong quote, which can be really confusing. All in all, I think these forums need some real work on basic stuff like that.

Rule #1 says it's 27...
