Both are unquestionably Jeff Easley's work. So it could just be this is what/how he perceives a DM to look. I don't know that there was ever any conscious consideration, in terms of "art direction" (as we would term it) in a modern design sense, to have a consistent-looking "Dungeon Master" as...

My homebrew is a "kitchen sink" setting that's been getting built up and revised, edited and expanded, and edited and expanded, again, and again for some three decades. Pretty much any campaign can be easily fit into its myriad realms of magic, danger, glory and riches. Do you want a heavy...

You did nothing wrong that I can tell. Though, I will echo the confusion at the idea of Rope Trick being a 'metagaming power move." That doesn't really seem accurate. There were opponents, things were not going well, I guess, or the player just panicked? Or the PC is supposed to be a coward? Or...

My favorite character to play is a caster. Option 1 (and my first Basic D&D PC, ever, and dozens since across all editions and gaming systems): magely/arcane -without being the "old man/Merlin/Gandalfy"- type. Option 2: followed, closely, by a druid/""nature magic" type, could be staight up...

Only if you're south of Monmouth County or along Rte. 9. ;)

Well, from what I understand (basically missed the whole thing, myself) it seemed the universe nearly exploded by 4e doing anything. Of course, without it, there would have never been a 5e. So, there's that. Well, that's clearly to create balancing forces/adversaries for the (up to their...

Over my dead pile of dog-faced rat-tailed kobold bodies. Not in any game or world I ever run.

Kobold propaganda. Always was.

You should really discuss, openly and honestly, all possible options first, before it is even attempted. Everyone needs to be on board/consenting with whatever combinations are desired. It's fairly easy to start a fight by stepping outside of the agreed upon parameters and, then, . . . one...

You understand people that are going to see and take this survey are people that are interested enough in fantasy RPGs, 5e specifically, to be on this forum to see it in the first place, I trust. Such people are likely to have, at least, heard of Critical Role -if never watched it (like...

Anything over 13 is a "good" score. Basically, as long as you have 3 or more scores that are over 13, you have a viable character that has a decent chance of not sucking or dying immediately. Preferably 4 or more. But I'll say 3 or more is doable. Anything over 15 is a "better" score and...
