There is a lot of pay what you want art available on DriveThruRPG.

It seems to me that a lot of people just like reading modules even if they never run it. So that extra content is never really wasted. I've known lots of players that buy the campaign books just to read them after playing through them as an adventurer. 1. You can force an encounter with...

Teknar at Teknar"s Tavern did a podcast on the money issues. He didn't get into the Zak issues.

The Angry GM wrote an article on how to playtest your game. You can probably start there. The TLDR is, "if you’re serious about designing a game, playtesting isn’t something you do at the end. It’s something you do at the beginning. And then you keep doing it. Over and over." I like the title...

There are numerous examples of disarming techniques on YouTube that end with the weapon in possession of the attacker and not on the floor. I think it would be fair to say that the attacker was using one of those techniques. Here is an example.

Our DM allowed our Ranger to take this fighting style from an old UA: Close Quarters Shooter You are trained in making ranged attacks at close quarters. When making a ranged attack while you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll. Your ranged...

Are the Adventurers League seasons dropped all at once or over the season?

Was it Skyrim that had the soul gems? Maybe have Gargoth tell the party they can release the soul inside the soul coin (release it from its contract?). The empty soul coin can then be filled with the soul of a devil that is killed in combat.

What is this partnered with and what is the inspiration for it? I think the rules for the subclass features are too complex.

A solution is to use DDAL09-01 Escape from Elturel as a start. It has the party travelling to Elturel for reasons. I suggest changing that to participate in what should be a great celebration. It is the 50th anniversary of the Companion after all. The rest of the adventure has the party...

Good luck! It might help to give the day and time and link to the game on Roll20 if you've already set it up. :D

We had a similar situation with the Suggestion spell on Monday. A cleric tried casting it on a monstrosity without realizing that it didn't speak Common so the spell wouldn't work. Our DM allowed him to retcon his action and do something different. I think that was a generous way of handling...

Our DM rewrote a lot of it. From him and elsewhere it seems like the campaign was written by several writers and never playtested. There are enough resources out there to make something enjoyable. The Alexandrian is a good place to start.

Try painting miniatures while watching YouTubers paint miniatures. It's a great time sink and almost no negativity.

OP here, the figure I made was simplified to the important details since I can't recreate the situation exactly from memory. There were other creatures chasing our blue knight. Our DM rules that it takes double the movement to move through an ally's space (I think that's homebrew). I had him...

Thanks for all the replies. This was one of those combats where the DM was rolling hot and maybe doing a bit of metagaming as well so the potential for a TPK was real. That five feet of extra movement could have been the difference between life and death for two of the party including my...

Hello tabletop heroes! I have a question that came up in today's session. Suppose blue knight wants to use the Disengage action to move diagonally 30 feet along the yellow path without provoking an Opportunity Attack from the red enemy minotaur. Our DM says that's not allowed because it moves...

A Law YouTuber said when the law is on your side, you argue the law. When the facts are on your side, you argue the facts. When neither the law or facts are on your side, you just argue. From that I take that it's not about the law or justice, it's about being the strongest advocate for your...

I've been asked to make skill checks for the dumbest things. Wasting inspiration on it to do the cool thing I want to do keeps me from getting salty. If you don't require dumb skill checks then I'm fine without inspiration. But from home campaigns to Adventurers League, dumb skill checks seem...
