    D&D 5E (2014) Applying and running a game with Darkvision - by RAW

    My DM ran us through a dungeon in Roll20 with dynamic lighting. It blew my mind.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    As long as I get my harlots table.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    I've found that the most important jump in whiskey quality is getting off the bottom shelf. The jump going from bottom shelf to one up is bigger than than going from there to top shelf IMHO.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    I rather like Costcos' blended Scotch. Particularity with Soda. It helps that it's very affordable. Edit: To be fair, I am a poor judge of Whisky in general as I've never had one that I didn't like. I'd give the worst Whisky I ever had 7 thumbs up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    I've never really asked myself if I'm in a target audience. I just buy what I think I'll like and don't by what I don't think I'll like. I've skipped all the tie ins like Stranger Things, Acquisitions inc, and Rick and Morty. I also skipped Ravinica and Eberron. I love Avernus though, and I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Swarm of insects (spiders) -- How do you run this monster?

    Oh I'd say there's some time before death. I'd have it curable by a Greater Restoration, Regenerate, or even Remove Curse.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swarm of insects (spiders) -- How do you run this monster?

    DM: You are attacked by a Swarm of insects (spiders) Me: Spiders aren't insects DM: You win D&D Me: puts on sunglasses DM: You are the DM now Me: takes of sunglasses

    D&D 5E (2014) Is my DM being fair?

    Agreed and expounding on this, the game has to target the lowest common denominator. It's not reasonable to expect novice DMs playing without optional rules or Variants to have the know how to scale encounters down. It's far more reasonable to expect DMs playing with optional rules and variants...

    Witcher (Netflix)

    UA Variants came to my mind too and I'm lazy enough that Signs could just be appropriate spell lists. I like the idea of the Witcher potions, but I may try for a simpler drawback system. Like 1 level of exhaustion when a potion's effects wear off. That should pair well with the Tireless UA...

    D&D General On gatekeeping and the 'live-streaming edition wars'

    Why be a gatekeeper when you can be a Keymaster? Anyway I'm super happy streaming is bringing more people into the hobby, even if I don't watch gamestreams.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Four New Subclasses

    Oh my lycanthhorpic barbarian has finally arrived! (not really it's UA) Natural Weapons that count as magical weapons is great! I think a bonus to Wisdom (Survival) checks would have been a nice ribbon add to level 6 but that's a minor quibble.

    Witcher (Netflix)

    I think the Witcher class itself is a bit complicated for my tastes too, but it's obvious that a lot of work and thought went into this, which means less work and thought for me!

    D&D 5E (2014) Is expertise badly designed?

    If you make sure you are only calling for checks on thins that are uncertain Expertise works just fine. It just makes some characters better at some things you were already OK with them succeeding at.

    Wow! I have the basic version of the Witcher TTRPG for a while now, but wasn't a fan of how fiddly it is. This looks sweet!

    Critical Role Matt Mercer Speaks About The Wildemount Book

    Matt is is all class. He is super supportive of the community as a whole. In fact I think he just sold me on the book.

    Witcher (Netflix)

    This is what makes it feel more like a D&D setting to me than a lot of other Fantasy Fictions settings. It's a world filled with competing organizations of high magic users, competing human kingdoms, Old High elven lore, and current elf freedom fighters. religious zealotry, and most importantly...
