    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Excited about Tomb of Annihilation?

    Saying something will not sell well with zero proof doesn't make it so. So your telling me that the player base that just played games from 1-11 like 5 times in a row doesn't have 11+ characters to play it? they wouldn't want it? You failed that DC check.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are You Excited about Tomb of Annihilation?

    Levels 1-11......again. Oh boy? Yawn Set in the realms again? Well who's have thought? Yawn This will be the first adventure I don't buy. I don't run them anyway but there are nice to steal ideas from ect... but I just don't need another low to mid level adventure. They are seriously starting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Int 8, Wis 8, Cha 18 Sorcerer

    What would this character be like? I mean 8 is like the opposite of 12 so I would think that someone with a 8 in Int and Wis would just be slightly below average in both those regards. One way I told the player to think of it is that he is perfectly normal but often slightly wrong. He knows...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranged party member keeps running off the map

    Get a bigger map? I mean there is nothing wrong with what he is doing per say. It does have drawbacks and I can see your having issues with it but many, Get a bigger battlemat. If that's what the player wants to do and its well within his rights to do so, why take issue with it? There are tons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Resting and the frikkin' Elephant in the Room

    Well after six weeks you have finally won through the orc siege and escaped with your lives. You gain no experience for doing so however because as I explained six weeks ago the quest was for you to carry as much of the supplies as you could gather to the next town in order to bolster there...

    D&D 5E (2014) Resting and the frikkin' Elephant in the Room

    I use 15 min rests and 8 hour long rests and have no issues with resting. I do not however follow the handy dandy encounter building guidelines. Nope, I threw them out long ago and now eyeball them with my party in mind and what i'm trying to do in that encounter and or what would be there. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sudden changes to the party dynamic

    yeah, It seemed like he was younger. 12-14 or so What the image in my head. 20? Not so much. I did think it was funny you said his dad was in the game and his brothers to but they voted to not let him in. made me laugh. I mean yeah your dad and brothers are playing but dude..we ain't got room...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sudden changes to the party dynamic

    Because of the Unwritten laws of first picksies! Once you pick a job in the group nobody else is allowed to pick it. EVERYONE knows that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sudden changes to the party dynamic

    Well, I can respect the DM's right to pass on another player if he feels that the game would just be too much. I myself as a player or DM would have dropped from the game at that point either to let the Dad bring in his son or to start a new group but that's just me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sudden changes to the party dynamic

    WOW! So the only information we have is it's a stepson. Nothing else was said about the person as far as I know, and suddenly the would be new player is rude and disruptive and inflects uncoolness on the group? I mean ok yeah dude you are right. Also if he was a Pyromaniac with a blowtorch, i...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sudden changes to the party dynamic

    What kind of game was this? I mean if its a game of friends and one guy wants to bring in a family member and the group said no too many players I would find another group. A dad wanting to share the hobby with his stepson getting turned down would set off huge red flags to me. Frankly I DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) Improvised actions in combat

    Nothing spoils my fun like players. That's why I DM all by myself in my basement in the dark. So it's not ruined by creativity. Blink-Blink I mean it's not just me right? This entire thread is jacked in the head right? I mean a DM who says nothing ruins his fun like creativity? Come...

    Meet a Professional Game Master

    The guy down the road demands $20 a hour to work at Taco Bell and tells everyone he is more than worth it. Taco Bell will not pay him that though so he sits at home not working. He likes to go online and talk about how much money he makes because online he doesn't have to prove anything and I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Berserker Barbarian good or needs fix? What Fix?

    I think i'm going to give this a try. To be honest it seems a bit OP just like bears 50% damage does. I did some math and it still doesn't even come out on top of the dpr race or anything so, I'll give it a go and see how it works out....if I can find someone to try it out.

    D&D 5E (2014) What If the players lost every adventure path so far in the realms?

    What if your group all died by Tiamat's hands? Then they all died fighting Evil Elemental cultists? The next group after that went vampire hunting in Ravenloft and meet their bloody deaths. One group of adventurers even went mad far far below in the Underdark and attacked a Demon Lord and had...

    D&D 5E (2014) Berserker Barbarian good or needs fix? What Fix?

    Is the Berserker Barbarian broken? Everyone seems to dislike it due to the exhaustion issue. Is it really that bad? How have you fixed it in your game? Or is this something you only see on message boards and in peoples home game it's not so much a issue? In my game almost every time Barbarians...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giant Slayer Extra Damage

    Not at my game table. Players get overshadowed all the time. They deal with it. If you build a combat monster then you will excel at combat but not at social encounters. If you built a social Diva you will excel at non-combat encounters but not as combat ones. You make whatever character you...
