Chapter 2 : The Knight and His Companions https://marccsolottrp.blogspot.com/2020/05/solo-hex-crawl-quest-perilous-lands_24.html

I'm curious to see what he answers. But 60 feet is 60 feet whether you use a ruler or a mat with squares. Same difference.

You miss remember. Miniature and play surface (and ruler) use are mentioned in Basic Player's Manual (Menzter) page 57. You chose not to play with miniatures. That is not the same thing. We always did starting 1980. At first with coins and dice. Later with metal miniatures. I had one set of...

I never fudge the dice as a DM. Everything is rolled in front of the screen. What's the point of having odds if the GM cheats all the time. PCs should fail or succeed on their own merit or lack of. As a DM I feel it's my responsabilty to explain odds of success before a Player wants his PC to...

Great stuff! Thanks for writting this.

I would prefer a cut throat adventure book taking place in Menzoberranzan with drow PCs caught up in the family / faction wars!

I second that!

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle does that count as gaming? She was hilarious with dance combat moves.

Finished Phandelver in 2014. Did Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Our group disbanded over schedule problems after the fist game of Rise of Tiamat. Played two games of Curse of Stradh in 2018 but the DM quit on it. Used a few missions of Ghost of Saltmarsh in my current campaign (2020) but did not...

I prefer to think of the turnkey scenario as a chef that comes to your home and prepares a 5 star meal in your kitchen. It's a very pleasurable experience. To continue with the chef analogy, PbTA games are known to have critical failures. Too many cooks at the pot syndrome. If for some reason...

Since 1980 I've been the DM/GM for 98% of the time. Right from the start when I read the Basic Moldvay box I wanted to be the DM. I do enjoy playing.

D&D dungeons make little sense to me regardless of the explanation. I rarely use them. An escape route out of a fortification. An underground oubliette, jail, torture chamber, natural caves inhabited by creatures, are as far as I go underground. No one is complaining at my table. ;)

The two starters. The three core, Sword Coast and all the generic books. Plus Saltmarsh because it's great Greyhawk book and it has nautical rules for 5e. I used to own the two Rise of Tiamat books at the beginning of 5e but I sold them after use. I'm staying away for setting books and...

I once had a Female Paladin with AD&D in the early 80s. That campaign didn't last very long. Can't recall any push back or sexist antics. Later during 2e the DM let me play an annoying female Sprite after the death of my character. They met her on the road. It was fun for about 3 games after...

Seems like this a case of someone preferring «Hard Coded» language over the «Natural Language» of 5e. It's best to find a game to works for him at this juncture. Tastes may vary over the years.

I have no need for a new edition. I'll just keep using 5e until no one wants to play. After that I'll play other RPGs in my book shelf.

Reading The Black Company's first three books is a must read. Glen Cook's writing style is unadorned and centred on action and dialogue, which some find too telegraphic, but it is loaded with atypical fantasy ideas that blew my mind. A lot of stuff happens in these three books. A major...

Can't vote. I do not dislike Dark Sun but I would not buy it because I no longer buy D&D setting books. I only home-brew.

One (1) guy managed to get the percentage result required to have psionic powers with an AD&D character. He was very happy but once I started putting monsters that were attracted by his psionic aura he didn't like it so much. Never had a psionic character in my games ever since. Never played...

I'm gonna read that book. Sounds intriguing.
