    Wicked - Official Trailer

    My girlfriend is so stoked for this. She's seen the show two or three times now. We almost went when they came to Detroit (Late last year or early this year) but couldn't make it work. I would have liked to have seen it but I'm not super upset that we didn't. The theater is sooooo expensive. I...

    Introducing a New Character, and Sunless Citadeling

    Could be an interesting choice but I'm not so sure. The adventure as written has the party delving into the dungeon to track down a different adventuring party, who was the last group to enter the dungeon. I've placed the macguffin with that first adventuring party. The time-line doesn't quite...

    Introducing a New Character, and Sunless Citadeling

    Good morning EN World. You all have been super helpful in all of my other planning, so hopefully you don't mind me calling on the Dungeon Master Brain Trust once again to help plan out my next session. If you don't care about the back story the TL;DR is that a cinematic moment may have killed a...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    I never said it was hard math.. Just suggested there was a lot of it. Rather than having to tally up all the points to see that I can just give my character a +1 in every ability, just show me in the book the "Jack of All Trades 12, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13 array"

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    That's such a hard line. If someone watches a whole season of something and doesn't like it I'd really struggle to keep suggesting it. I do know that some shows have weak seasons, but end up being great overall though. I love Mr. Robot, but season 2.. and part of season 3 aren't stellar.. And...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    You usually end up seeing one of three trends, in my experience. A set that looks like the standard array, A set that looks like three solid stats, three awful stats(15, 15, 15, 8, 8, 8) or the one where they're all really close to the point of the character being not bad, but also not good...

    It's just real rough to force yourself to spend 1.5-3 hours watching something, and still not get into it.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    Imagine trying to get your character killed, but you're unable to because their stats are all so good you keep passing all the various checks

    The Use (or Abuse) of Animal Companions

    One of my players is a ranger, and when he hit level three, he took the option for an animal companion. The book said a beast with a CR of 1/4 or less I believe, so I gave him the monster manual and let him go wild. He found the Blink Dog. I was a little surprised but said yolo. I believe the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle randomly rolling for stats

    When I was a teen playing we used to do the standard 4d6, drop lowest. Then for stronger characters we changed it to 4d6, re-roll 1's and 2's and drop lowest. With my current group I gave them the option to take the standard array or roll, and they all chose to roll. A couple of them had some...

    I struggle with a lot of shows. I bounced off Delicious in Dungeon and Vox Machina too. I often feel like if I could force myself to watch two or three episodes I'll get interested but I don't want to make myself keep watching something that isn't holding my interest.

    D&D 5E (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    This could perhaps provide good opportunities. Supposedly the new DMG is using Greyhawk to help show how to build campaigns/campaign worlds. They could use it as an example for how to adapt campaign worlds as well. I think that's a very important, and common step for DMs. You can use an existing...

    Do highly unique characters still get a bad rep; and: how to give them room to exist?

    I wish I knew what video it was.. I've watched them all too much recently, but Matt Colville talked a little about this. He mentioned how it was always up to the player's attitude. For instance I think his example involved a warforged PC. His setting was such that a warforged character would...

    D&D 5E (2024) New D&D Edition's Player’s Handbook Alternate Art Cover Reveal

    Yeah, I was already a fan of the first one, but this one is so nice. I'd really like a new set with similar understated covers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Long time players and 5e’s success

    I can't speak for all younger gamers, as we're not a monolith.. But I know that myself, and many others understand this. We're at a point where trust in companies is incredibly low. We know they won't be making stuff for us forever.. If they can make more money by abandoning us for the next...

    Do highly unique characters still get a bad rep; and: how to give them room to exist?

    Yes... I came in here expecting a MUCH different topic. I think I get the gist of the OP. If everything is unique and special, then nothing is unique and special. In the original Everquest MMORPG, there were restrictions as to what races could be which classes. Only Humans and Iksar(The race...

    I didn't scroll down and see the wizard at first.. Thought the dragon was using it's breath weapon and shooting like eldritch blast out of his hand or something.. That would be an intense encounter.

    D&D 5E (2014) Long time players and 5e’s success

    Right? A lot of 'jocky' kids were in college prep and honors classes. Many of the drama kids were very popular. I regularly sat at different lunch tables with different groups of people. The popular high-school set movies and dramas of the 80's and 90's did not resonate with my experience lmao
