If I understand the new rules correctly, Shield (and other reaction spells) have been given a stealth nerf in that you can't cast more than one spell with a level per round so if you cast Shield you can't cast any non-cantrip spell on your turn, unless I'm mistaken.

I think you're talking about different things. 5.5e gives players more bells and whistles to play with so each player is going to have to keep track of more things. This does make the game less newbie friendly and will potentially bog down combat. Making combat take longer has the potential to...

Yeah, and things like Surprise now just giving you advantage on initiative and how abstract all the summons have become. It's like they're purposely stripping out the remaining Combat as War elements of the game while still not being as good at Combat as Sport kind of combat as 4e. 5e's greatest...

Can you run a combat light 5e game? Certainly! Can it be a lot of fun? Most definitely. I just can't for the life of me think of any reason why you'd choose 5e over a broooooooooad swath of other systems when choosing to play that kind of game aside from familiarity/name recognition. It'd be...

Oh yes, I'm gearing up for a Beyond the Wall campaign as we speak. I like OSR games a lot, just think that some go a bit too far with minimalism and/or maintaining compatibility with TSR-D&D, while I'd prefer something with more of the old school playstyle intact but more new ideas, which is why...

When 5.5e was first announced I decided that I'd use Command as a litmus test. If it stayed intact then I'd give the game a shot, if it was gutted so that only specified verbs could be used I'd be out. Aaaaaand now it looks like Command has been gutted so I'm out. It's not that I think that...

And one new page: https://ibb.co/zVnkgGM Junior has been watching a bit too much Monty Python, as is traditional with D&D players.

The most recent link seems to be broken, see if this works instead: https://ibb.co/6mZRbmg

Junior just turned 15 this week. He's not bad for his age :)

In which Junior gets back to work on the webcomic, complete with incredible cuteness: imgur.com/a/X6fPvy2

Continued callback to the first few pages:

Bags of holding really are the best magical items:

And here's the next page...

As someone who's only played a BM as a one-shot this is enough to make me want to play a BM for a big long campaign right now. The other fighter subclasses don't really measure up though and I don't know WTF they're doing with the barbarian...

In which the party meets a most cultured troll: Had to help junior with the troll's dialogue a bit.

Poor little monkey familiar :(

Cover and first page of Chapter 2 if anyone wants to continue the adventure :)

Doh on the typo. The kobold language is draconic from here: Draconic Translator Yeah, the bear has long been popular. Some elements are from actual games (casting sleep on flying kobolds etc. the gelatinous cube is based on bits of Caverns of Thracia) and a lot of the characters are from a...

He's been working on this for a few months now and he's just finished Chapter 1 at page 25. He'd appreciate it if you took a look: Terrors & Tacos Chapter 1

I don't think most people are talking about never playing D&D again, Hasbro doesn't give a flying naughty word if I play D&D so stopping playing it if it's fun for me serves no useful purpose. I will, however, make sure that I don't give Hasbro more money, which isn't necessary to play D&D and which...
