    A climatic ending to a thieves guild war?

    My players have chosen to find a place in the poorer part of town. Where some of their bandits better fit in, being the offspring of fecund and foul orcs who breed with anything that bleats. Also the watch in this district is more prone to looking the other way so long as their pockets clink...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Plane of Fire and the City of Brass - how have you handled them?

    A place entirely of reflective brass, where everyone over time developed a marmalade complexion. Scents of tea tree and sweet orange oils waft through the streets under a tangerine sky with cinnamon clouds.

    A climatic ending to a thieves guild war?

    I have asked my players to come up with a conclusion so we all can move on with the greater plots. Both characters are human, at the moment they believe that another player Pip the halfling mage has been snitching on them to the halfling thieves. They no longer meet in their previous favorite...

    A climatic ending to a thieves guild war?

    My thieving players have rounded up some independent thieves, scoundrels and assorted scum to form a band of cutthroats. With some expert help by other hirelings who have joined in they have been raging war in the back alleys of the city with the halfling thieves guild. Between being hooligans...

    What wouble be special about a Grave Robber [npc/subclass/background mechanics]

    Perhaps some alchemy? Being able to produce some sort of balm to place under your nose to avoid the stench. Something to spray on your clothing afterwards to hide the smell. A way to preserve body parts for people wanting to construct golems.

    RPGs Finally Get Some Credit in Defining a Galaxy: A Review

    I have a love hate relationship with this game. Regardless of version or edition, I found it to be extremely frustrating. Perhaps it is due to the people I played with. RAW the player whose character is so skilled that he can call the emperor on the holonet and curse him not once but twice in...

    Damaging Spells and Objects

    Why target the entire wagon? Why not target the axle or pin that holds the wheels in place and let gravity work for you?

    Torture Should Not Work in Dungeons & Dragons

    When we started our game I told my players that anything they do to a npc will eventually be done to them in return. It is fair. Most of my players do what you described with some embellishment. In additional to threats they also offer bribes and attempt to turn their prisoners.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the world exist for the NPC's?

    In my game yes. Why? For when the players choose not to take a quest, that quest does not go away or sit in a waiting room. Someone goes out and does what needs to be done, either being successful or failing. In this way the world as a whole advances and is seen as living. For me it creates a...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle the "economy killing spells" in your game?

    Also have consequences for using "powerful" magic. Eddings did this in his novels. The main character Garion creates a huge storm to stop a battle, after which his uncle has to travel hither to "reset" the proper weather patterns to avoid droughts, floods, etc....

    Does the world exist for the PCs?

    For the game I run, I created a realm. In this realm are various people and places, some with problems some without. I let my players decide for themselves who they interacted with and where they went. There were quests presented, some where ignored, some accepted, some the players went against...

    TSR The Making and Breaking of Deities & Demigods

    I wonder if GRR Martin might have found inspirations from Elric and Melnibone and wrote them into the Targaryens and Valyria? My brothers certainly enjoyed their Dragon Knights of Melnibone campaign.

    Making Sense of Forest Terrain

    Have the bard sing a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGT4V6JmINA A forest is as dense or sparse as you wish, just never with the trees in nice neat lines, for, that is a tree farm. But then you could just stick the party members in the eye with a twigs. Or smack them with branches when...
