Tomb of Horrors tomorrow!

1. The Staypuffed Marshmallow Man 2. The party, themselves, more specifically their shadow versions, reflections of them - concentrating and emphasizing their darker aspects; in the case of a Paladin, his would be a Doomguard, etc. 3. Have them find an anceint, sealed container, it should...

To make him fair, he would have to have an equal share bad luck. I don't know how happy the rest of my players would be if somone else was playing a character that always hits, always crits, is never hit himself, always has the answer for every trick, question, puzzle, dilemma - et al...

We are having a similar issue with our small group. One of our players wanted to be a Ranger, he liked the feel and role. But we are at the middling levels and now most of the time when a battle is about to begin all he does is try to hide, or even run away. In his mind he is such a wuss that...

Experienced gaming group - added together 47 years worth of RPG experience. Looking for that one player to round out the group. Is it you? We're durrently playing 5th Edition - learning it's ins and outs together. Low level campaign. 2 DMs that rotate. Need that one mroe player.

Hmm. No two handed weapons? Other than the obvious "because the rules say so" - why not? Various lengths of fighting sticks, many wielded with two hands go all the way to the very roots of almost every known martial arts style in recorded history.

Someone filled with Self Loathing?

Now, on to opaque walls. First let's clarify what we are talking about. And clearly, that's the level of transparency vs. the amount of filter - that element that gives it (the opaque wall) it's diffused character, when attempting to look through them. There is a long history of glass...

While understanding how to adjudicate what is written is very important, I believe, personally, there is a major point that is being missed. If there is a fairly simple mechanic present that can make one of two equal creatures/characters so significantly superior - my favorite word this week...

I had lone a kobold once top a rise in front of the pc's holding two coconut halves ala Monty Python. It saw them, "Eeeped!" rather loudly and ran away. Over the course of several hours they'd catch glimpses of this kobald as it ran ever deeper into the woods. They even determined it was...

It almost reads like the designers took a look at invisibility and decided that it was simply too advantageuos, and effectively removed it from the game (at least as anything any of us have had experience with). What is in the game, certainly isn't invisibility. I'm not sure what we should...

I appreciate how in real life even good friends, not to mention married couples, will have spats and disagreements - that can be so severe that friendships are ended and marriages called off. So it comes as no surprise that, by extention, our game can be filled with the same abrasions. I have...

5 out of 5 rating for The Ninth Doctor Sourcebook As I read through this material, I found myself remembering thing's I'd fortten about the show, the lore and the plethora of Doctors out there. It also goes to great pains to fill in alot of the blanks that they simply do not have time (on the...

Venting. Sorry. It seems at every turn I am understanding less about 5e than I thought. Adult onset brain death I guess.

Good Lord! Note, to self: Go home after class tonight. Read the 5e description of the spell Invisibility. Take a black Permanent marker and in bold letters write across the text of this spell USE EARLIER ADDITION. What does the freaking FLY spell say? Roll with advantage and you "think" you...

This is an interesting topic to me, as I have often struggled with this. Before I joined the Navy we would play almost every night, as I worked in a Drive In Theater. We would play during the show, and well into the wee hours after the park was closed - this was quite common for our group...

So. Interparty conflict. The Paladin doesn’t like the actions of the Warlock. The Thief thinks the wizard is being a prick. One of the two fighters has taken a secret mission from an NPC, at odds with the rest of the party’s priorities. The new guy, Tony, it one of those treasure whores, who...

Correctamundo. In this thread's case, the disintegrate would take it's full effect before any other effect. If the Druid is transformed (meaning his only existing form at the moment) into a Dove, with 3 hit points, and he is hit with a disintegrate spell, and he take 22 points of damage and...

A few critters they will be facing this Saturday.... The Monster Under the Bed: Basically two, grasping hairy, muscular, warty, purple arms that try to pull a PC under the bed to be devoured The Monster in the Closet: A scary shadowy monster hiding in the closet (a converted to 5e Type 1...

Which was why we, as a group despised 4th. And one of the reasons we will discard FILO for 5th.
