Pervasive tends to be a point of view word when you don’t like something at all.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the lack of distinct spell lists between the three. I think at least the restricted number of spells and the invocations for Warlocks along with the patron lore help distinguish them from Wizards, but Sorcerers have always felt more tied to just casting differently rather...

As another poster pointed out, there is an encounter/trap building section in Xanathar’s Guide that does cover adjusting CR. Further, I think that adjustment to CR is necessary. My stance is if the DM is increasing the difficulty of the encounter with “exceptionally smart” monsters, then they...

“Check out my Drow fighter/thief PC, I’ve got 3 18s. Totally rolled them first time out. Honest.”

Okay, I don’t particularly think those things are medieval. Robin Hood, sure. Knights in armor, sure. Conan? Not really. Perseus riding Pegasus? Nope. I think that’s applying the term medieval far too broadly. I prefer my soup analogy. (I’m keeping that one) 😁

I’ve never had a problem with folks seeing it as having some of the trappings of the Middle Ages with European style castles and armor and the like, even if it was from what we’ve seen in movies rather than what it may have been in reality. But even from the beginnings, it was always so much...

That’s interesting - I admit I’ve always tried to envision the weather in the locations in my campaign and being an American raised in Northern CA, I’ve largely settled on West Coast/Pacific Northwest climate unless the characters are specifically in a desert or a jungle, and even then it...

Damn, I haven’t a clue but based on your description can you please post whatever you do, because this sounds AWESOME.

You know what’s great? Admitting in advance that what you are about to type out is your opinion, and not absolute fact. Dump out whatever’s in your head but don’t try to present it as an absolute. That’s the good stuff.

If it were just one article, that'd be one thing. Multiple articles in a single issue would feel a bit abusive.

You know what’s particularly galling to me about this conversation. You posted this: I said the video was low effort, and then you use my comment to call out ableism and AI. Frankly, that was uncool, and I’m done with this.

Are we really going to have this conversation?

Not for me, and not with that video. I don’t know if any of those things are true in this case so I’m going to judge based on what I see.

Because low effort is low effort. 🤷‍♂️

The Rankin/Bass Hobbit cartoon was definitely my introduction to Tolkien.

Definitely start with Skibidi Toilet and marvel at the glory of it all.

Totally off topic: I want to save this line forever. The day someone called millennials old and gave them the boomer treatment. 😆 Btw, if they ever gripe about Labubus, remind them about Tamagotchis, beanie babies, trolls, and Hello Kitty throughout the years.

Newsflash: my comments are not about Tucker specifically. They’re about the article and how others used it over the years to justify adversarial DMing. If you want, you can go back and read my initial post where I explained that as opposed to answering simply this last post which is being taken...

I think for 5e if the players’ side just went first, it’d cause issues for typical encounters.

Popcorn initiative could be an interesting variation but I think encounter and monster design would really have to support this so that players can just steamroll the other side by going first.
