    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    While I've got more players than I could ever need, their range of interests tend to be narrow in the sense that I can barely get them to try new systems. To date, I still haven't managed to get enough players interested in Geist: Sin-Eaters, FATE, Masks, Monster Hearts, Godbound, or a dozen...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Interestingly, this does seem to be what Perkins is specifically being assigned to do. It's really just speculation, but his interviews seem to point towards the idea that he's trying to build an "Iconic Adventure" for Daggerheart. I agree strongly with this. The more I play Daggerheart, the...

    D&D General Dragonborn In Your Game (A Poll)

    That's the direction I went with it, imagining the tail as something you could clear a table or whack someone with, but nothing prehensile.

    D&D General Dragonborn In Your Game (A Poll)

    Dragonlance Draconians can have tails and wings, and that's primarily how I use Dragonborn. But I won't force a player who doesn't want those things to have them.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I have noticed an issue with swapping Domain cards during level up. The wording on Pg 111 says "Additionally, you can also choose to trade out one domain card you already have for a different domain card of an equal level or lower." That means anytime a player voluntarily chooses a lower level...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I think this is better advice than what is given in the book. Like, I realize they wanted to give people a rule of thumb, and a certain subset of people want actual hard numbers of average amounts of fear that might be used in a scene, but my personal experience is just... the number is wildly...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tomb of Annihilation: likes and Dislikes

    This is a very nitpicky thing, but I always felt like Acererak had no chance of winning. There are just too many strong liches in Forgotten Realms who were always going to foil his plans. Normally you circumvent this with other major NPCs being busy with their own things, but the Death Curse is...

    Playing AS monsters?

    Several times! I ran games where everyone was: Wyrmling dragons (and cute as heck) captured by a slaver. A goblin tribe (someone got to be a bugbear). Tucker's Kobolds, just a pack of ruthless trapping skirmishing little dudes. Pseudo-beholders, not full beholders but they had variable amounts...

    Starting Daggerheart campaign. Any pitfalls?

    There really are not a lot of pitfalls on the Player Side. Daggerheart is pretty forgiving on that front, and most "pitfalls" are on the GM Side of the fence. I would just offer general tips: Classes have a lot of flexibility, but they can't do everything. Don't expect to turn a Seraph into an...

    D&D General As BG3 Hits 2 Years Over A Million Complete It In Tactician Mode

    You can keep playing if you die in Honour Mode, but it downgrades you to Tactician for the rest of that run.

    D&D General Smurfs as PCs?

    Clearly have them wake up dangling over a bubbling cauldron if they ever lose a fight.

    D&D General Demetrios1453 Plays the Gold Box Games

    That's fair. I speculate that most players use Companion to break the racial level limits these days, though not necessarily to get an advantage. The last time I played, I uncapped my Dwarven Paladin and Kender Cleric/Thief so they didn't stagnate!

    D&D General Demetrios1453 Plays the Gold Box Games

    Dust of Deliciousness, right? Right? Jokes aside, there's a pretty cool breakdown of how to do it without that item. Though it's no less cheesy.

    Brennan Lee Mulligan to GM Critical Role Campaign 4

    Yeah, several are still floating around in stores. GenCon sold out completely - more specifically they sold all their physical stock on Friday, but had some set aside for Saturday and Sunday... which also sold out. :ROFLMAO:

    Brennan Lee Mulligan to GM Critical Role Campaign 4

    Weekly viewing numbers tanked, but overall streamed hours has increased. As you say, that includes people watching videos of their older campaigns after being drawn in by the animated series, and other promotions. So we know the casual fans are tuning out in droves during actual broadcast hours...

    Brennan Lee Mulligan to GM Critical Role Campaign 4

    At this point, I would run TWO games. 1) Brennan running D&D 5.5 to maintain the Critical Role brand association with the 800lb gorilla, and not alienate too much of their audience. Losing Matt here means the numbers are down a bit, but hopefully more than enough to keep everyone at Darrington...
