    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle the issue of initiative versus tactical enemy responses?

    Just do your best and aim for challenging over all game play and you will find sometimes the pc's just walk all over the bad guys from luck and from good game play but sometimes things will go south from poor luck or bad game play. That is a good game play.

    D&D 5E (2014) How OLD are YOU

    47 years old and been playing for 39 years! *And yes I begrudge those 8 years of not playing! I blame it on poor parenting! I would have been rolling D20's in the womb if I had but known.

    D&D 4E Thing I thought 4e did better: Monsters

    Granted I would put money on the Demon Lord verse most characters and entire parties but I have lost bets like that before. The right pc with the right player behind the wheel and more than once I have ended up reeling at just what those crazy knuckle dragging dice monkeys managed to pull off...

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    It might not JUST be a prejudiced opinion but it is a prejudiced opinion. It tells us far more about YOU and your limitations than about the use of miniatures in a role playing game. I assure you that miniatures no more break immersion for players than does rolling dice, writing hit point...

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    Miniatures of course! We are playing a game and not some safe place friendship room everyone wins and nobody losses imagination friendship circle.

    So I want some advice on how to do what i want.

    Because Pathfinder is a rules insane heavy crunch game. I will not run it even though yes it does handle a few things better than 5E. It handles many many more much worse IMHO. I knew when I made this post some would be like- just go play 3.5 or pathfinder ect.. but really guys just because...

    So I want some advice on how to do what i want.

    I want magic items coming out of the Wazoo! I just love tons and tons of magic items! I don't want them to be rare and mysterious but instead to rain down all over the place! Now I'm not saying my way is better or that i can't see some benefits to the other way. I don't want to start a debate...

    Can't Renew my DDI SUB

    Never needed online tools. I did play in a game where the DM used them and he always had tons of cool print outs that I'm sure helped and made things faster to plan out but it was very doable without them. I talked with him about it and I think it's more of like you can do it without ever using...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else hoping that the next campaign book WotC releases is 15th to 20th levels?

    What a crappy design for a game then. Ok guys I have this new game where you play a epic hero and go from 1-20th level! Yeah it's great right! We even FIXED the games issues so that that magic level range is now from 1-20th instead of 4-9th! Heck yeah! The best D&D EVAH! We nerfed casters so...

    D&D 5E (2014) I need a cleric that gains a extra attack per round at 5th or 6th or something.....

    I need to get home to see what the spellcasting part of a 5 Paladin/15 cleric would be. I think that is going to be what i suggest. I think he likes to melee and probably at first would rather have been a fighter but the group needed a healer so he tried cleric but tried to get his fighter...

    D&D 5E (2014) I need a cleric that gains a extra attack per round at 5th or 6th or something.....

    Everyone in my group hates playing healers BUT one guy. He always loved being a 3.5/Pathfinder Cleric. He always did tend to be a melee cleric though. He loves to wade into combat and dish out the hurt by hand and use his spells for buffing before a fight and healing mostly afterwards. When...

    D&D 5E (2014) My players want Human Centric

    So I use a lot of premade settings. It's just what I have mostly done. I make adventures ect..but tend to play Greyhawk or The Realms ect.. Of late I had extra time on my hands and so i created a couple of settings. One's I thought were good but a little different. Not like the other settings...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is he evil?

    Personally I think its a dang good thing the PC put down that bouncer! He must have instinctively known or somehow sensed the evil coming off of him. Oh? you didn't hear? That bouncer had a shrine set up to Bane and the skulls of all those missing children everyone's been talking about. Thank...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you care about setting "canon"?

    Cannon is great when its a movie or book series. In a RPG cannon is actually something to avoid. As a DM you should steal every single idea,story,npc,spell,God, magical Item,place,person or thing that will make your game a better game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is he evil?

    Please don't ask us to make real life moral judgments about fantasy characters in a fantasy setting that we have no clue about. This is a game and your table. Do you want that to be a evil act? If so then sure! it was! Not a Evil act? ok it wasn't! in the context of a game Evil is what you...

    Converting yourself to D&D stats

    I was initially very excited to finally be able to accurately stat myself out but then it hit me this is a totally broken system. You can't go over 20! So basically not one single stat of mine can be accurately rated in order to stay within the limited confines of the 3-20 D&D range. By the...

    I need a great role playing game that is played in short bursts.

    I read up on Dungeon World and decided to order the book on amazon so thanks! I almost tried Fate Core but...Dungeon World would be a smoother change.
