    D&D General Accents

    My impressions of accents are usually atrocious, but I can do a pretty good Cockney accent, RP accent (this is the best accent I can do apart from my native Aussie), southern American accent, and passable South African accent. I've found if I get a chance to hear an accent I can imitate it...

    D&D 5E (2014) To much 5th edition content?

    Personally I've found 5e to be hitting the sweet spot of material and the timeliness of that material, what's been rewarding is that the breadth of material released serves quite well as a base to use in our own games; there's an unspoken freedom to simply filing off the numbers off of...

    D&D 5E (2014) The cosmology of the Wheel and the Aether

    I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for all of the amazing ideas and inspiration! And especially for the star map above. I really like the idea of the planes of existence as worlds that could be traversed upon the sea of stars, with the Black Void between them all, and other worlds...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you create your encounters?

    When I was running games for my friends, Kobold Fight Club was the life saver and the gift maker. I'd budget encounters using that superb tool, and I'd have a premade list of encounters to roll with for the occasion, based on a prediction of what the players would encounter where they went. This...

    D&D 5E (2014) Path of Exile inspired virtue-skill gems as magic items

    Thanks heaps for your feedback, bro! Yeah, that's something I was alluding to, but didn't really want to spell out clearly, these are meant to be inspired by the original after all :). Also agree with the requirement of attunement. Remaking these into fighting styles is actually an excellent...

    D&D 5E (2014) Path of Exile inspired virtue-skill gems as magic items

    Formed from equal parts miracle and magic, virtue-skill gems condense singular abilities into stunning jewels that thrum and pulse with purpose. Virtue-skill gems require attunement, and their colour denotes their placement; green virtue-skill gems occupy limb attunement slots, red virtue-skill...

    D&D 5E (2014) Musings on the likelihood of future products

    A trend I've noticed, and I'm sure others have also noticed, is that the campaign settings books bring to prominence certain rules in the DMG, and then elaborate on them. For Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica it was the Renown rules, for the upcoming Mythic Odysseys of Theros it'll be Piety rules...

    Thanks heaps, bro! Really glad you like the ideas. Yeah, that's an excellent take!

    D&D 5E (2014) strong smelling books

    Yeah, I've experienced this as well, and like you say the smell seems stronger in certain books, it's Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus and Ghosts of Saltmarsh for me, and it also gives me headaches if I read these books for too long. These seem to smell like "sourness that has gone off" is...
