I only read books, and then only if they are at least fifty years old. I recognise Lord of the Rings of course, and I get about Ha! Fling! being a hobbit. Everything else, you will have to explain. Footnotes are okay. :D

@OP - welcome to ENWorld. As you are new here, a little piece of advice - don't upload images unless you own the copyright; post links to the images instead. Also, don't just post an image and expect us to guess what it is for; tell us why you have posted the image. Is it a D&D 5e character you...

There was a voice from heaven and the gods spake. In unison did they speak, as one great voice. And the voice could not be gainsaid for it was the voice of the gods. "Serve us if you will. It makes no difference."

And thus was he saved when...... ... his mind went into overdrive and he remembered the rule about Charm ending if you do anything harmful to the target. He reckoned that being induced to fall repeatedly off a mountain counted as sufficiently harmful, didn't it? Well, didn't it? Yes it did...

"So ... first question: how do we actually find Flora?" "That's a good first question. How do you find a dragon?" "Ask another dragon?" "Good idea." Archie had a small child on the back of his neck, holding on to his ears, jigging up and down and making Wheee! noises, pretending to be...

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and Bad Things were about to happen. Ha! tossed a pebble over the nearest hedge. "Someone's stolen Albert," she remarked idly. Archie shifted his bulk, raised himself up on his legs and craned his neck down to check underneath. "He's no underrr me?"...

Fixed my previous post to remove the bit where Albert was somewhere entirely different.

Archie took to the sky and reconnoitered the area. "Tharrr's a wee toon up yonderrr," he reported, so having tucked their various familiars cosily way in their own demiplanes, the party set off in that direction. The town was built around a crossroads and, as they entered from the south, they...

Making the paladin worse won't work. If you make one class worse, people will just play something else. You have to make all the classes worse, so there is no escape.

In the temple of Babylon, Marduk was wrathful. "The Oasis of Pain is a forbidden place and it is decreed that none shall go there without my leave," he raged. "My servants shall drive the transgressors from that place, yea unto the wilderness that they perish." "The fell hand of Ashur is in...

After stumbling over the only piece of driftwood for a hundred miles, Tippy caught up with the lobster who backed away and waved the boomerang threateningly. He decided to try non-violent coaxing. "Does anybody here speak lobster?" he yelled, waving his arms frantically to attract the attention...

This isn't going well thought Tippy. And then the Hobbit reappeared................. A voice sounded in Tippy's head. Macfeece had managed to get off a Message to him: Use the boomerang! Use the boomerang! and it echoed through his brain. Mistaking it for a divine command, Tippy did as be was...

One of the unknown people was a sternly beautiful oriental lady with porcelain features. She wore a high-collared black silk dress embroidered with chrysanthemums intertwined with dragons and you just knew at a glance that she was into power dressing. This was some lady. Her jet-black hair was...

The local gossip was a jovial-looking man called Winking Jim Forthright. When Tippy stumbled into him (literally), Jim was sitting at a table in the bar sharing a drink with some equally jovial friends. "You must be that cleric fellow who's just arrived in the city," said Jim. "I gather you're...

The One True Way has many branches.

You play OSR a lot, don't you? It's got your brain fuddled. Words in the 5e books mean what it says in the dictionary, unless they are defined otherwise. You are complaining that "exploration" isn't defined well enough in the 5e books? I'm explaining the idea of self-help. But, you make a...

At the suggestion that she was an illusion, Tasha roared with laughter. Eyes streaming, she doubled up, shouting "Woot! Woot! Woot! I'm an illusion! Yes! Yes!" and finally ended up rolling on the ground flat on her back waving her legs in the air like a mad puppy. If over-acting was a sausage...

There's another book that explains some of the more esoteric words that are used in the PHB. It's called the dictionary. explore verb (explored, exploring) 1 to search or travel through (a place) for the purpose of discovery. 2 to examine something carefully - explore every possibility...

In my scheme, the player doing the hiding decides the DC because the player becomes the DM for that purpose and therefore has a mandate to do so. The rules read as if it is assumed that the DM is always the same person, but it doesn't have to be. If you think of "the DM" as being a role that can...

No-one seems to have asked the question: hidden from whom? Are we talking about PCs hiding things from NPCs who are supposedly looking for them? If so, all the player has to do is to cross the item off his inventory secretly and not tell the DM where he has put it or what DC he thinks it...
