Yes I did. And I liked the redhead, sure, but the acrobat was strong, and she seemed available.

And if you're ever gonna do a whole party of barbarian zealots, this is the time.

I like the War Pigs, too. There are also some minis with what I assume a Dire Goats.

A lot of good thoughts. I'm glad to hear the minis give you Large bears. So that means brown bear stats, but I think I'm assuming Ysgardian ancestry for these here bears, so they came here to eat salmon and kick ass, y'know? Brown bears are CR 1, so that puts them above the CR 1/2 cutoff for...

Come to think of it, Oath of Ancients Paladin might be better. A little more naturey and ranger-adjacent.

I really don't get to play that often anymore, but I just got offered to guest DM a one-shot in a few months. So then I happen to see these miniatures. And I think, obviously, this one-shot should be about a crew of bear-riding dwarves. My further thought is that this is a crew devoted to...

So Mac-Fuirmidh is the most obvious place to get into some heavily Celtic stuff, and to win the trust of the secretive local elves. Doss might involve a trip to the Twilight Hall, secret Harper base haunted by spectral harpers. Canaith . . . nothing stands out to me, so maybe that's where they...

Now if I have this right . . . back in Days of Yore, the established method in Faerun to become a fully accredited bard was to attend seven different bardic colleges in a specific order. Nowadays, only two of those colleges are still around (and even those are more like modern revivals than...

I would always just wing it on the Wealth stuff in d20 Modern. Some scrutiny of the damage mechanic might be warranted. I would tend toward using a massive damage threshold, with maybe some adjustment to allow for knockouts. Keep it optional. It could be justified on the grounds that the...

I have no idea how well some of these setting reboots would sell. My guess is that no one under 40 would be pushing for another Greyhawk or Dragonlance reboot, and every time they do one, half of that group thinks they did it wrong. Obviously, when I'm talking about a product like UA 5e being...

You may be right, but I look at the vast new audience of D&D players in the past ten years and see this as something very accessible to them. By comparison, something like Dragonlance is not going to be easily approached by the casual or newbie gamer.

Just looking at Urban Arcana, which is somehow 17 years old. That right there, 100%, should be a priority project for WotC, as a D&D campaign sourcebook. And as a D&D sourcebook, it should be 100% compatible with the existing system. My current thinking is that real world "mundanes" could...

Right. Although it's tempting to experiment with letting a familiar advance as a sidekick.

Yeah, I guess I'd have no objection to a lighter staff that's a finesse weapon, but I would be reluctant to set that work with PAM. I'd just work up a magic staff that uses Int instead of Str. You could sell a lot of those!

Well, that's one way to come at it, but so much of the sprite's combat effectiveness requires those poisoned arrows . . .

I love staffsingers, especially if you think of it as just an arcanist martial art. Sages and various minor magic-users learn the basics of staff fighting, and a few melee-friendly cantrips, the same way a modern-day desk jockey might take a self-defense class or do a little tai chi or Tae-bo...

What would you do about a sprite sidekick's supply of poisoned arrows? Weirdly, the basic MM sprite doesn't have any skills or proficiencies to back up the flavor text about how they brew these poisons from simple natural ingredients. At least some sidekick classes would get around that, and...

How about an awakened gazer sidekick? 1000 pounds of egomaniacal abomination, squeezed into an eight-inch sphere.

Thought it through, did some research . . . blink dog warrior, all the way. Speaks Blink Dog, understands Sylvan. 10 Intelligence, but will still play fetch because the people seem to enjoy it. Take the defensive combat option --- blink and bite, blink and bite. Probably needs to invest in...
