    D&D 5E (2014) Just One More Thing: The Power of "No" in Design (aka, My Fun, Your Fun, and BadWrongFun)

    I tried to get into D&D for a few years. I'd hop on to the WotC forums and try to decide what I would make as a first character. Then I'd look at builds and guides, and give up on D&D again. Then a few months later I'd try again and give up again. If there are enough newbies like me, than a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Boop

    For me it's Bard. If you strip spellcasting, and combine Bardic Inspiration Dice with Superiority Dice you now have warrior that can use cool maneuvers to do cool things, some of which open opportunities for their allies, or they can buff allies directly by gifting those dice.

    Witcher (Netflix)

    The first season of The Witcher was always gong to be be the most challenging. To avoid the jarring change in story between the 2nd and 3rd books they've intermingles elements and split timelines. The strength of it is when the separate threads come together. It's a big moment when Geralt and...

    How would you change the new Star Wars trilogy

    These might not be minor, but they'd could reuse a lot of existing footage. Seed Palpatine's return in TFA. Hint at Leia's Jedi training too. I like using Phasma for the traitor fight too. I'd move the tracking down the Jedi hunter plot from TRoS to TLJ and have it replace the Canto Bight/Chase...

    D&D 5E (2014) Half-Elves are taking over my game! (Or are Humans underpowered?)

    I've always wanted to make a Berserker with decent Charisma that actually makes use of Intimidating Presence.

    D&D 5E (2014) Newbie Adventure Recommendation

    I rather like https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/DDEX31_HarriedHillsfar.pdf in fact any AL season opener by Shawn Merwin is really flexible, and really easy to run.

    D&D 5E (2014) Goliaths WebDM Misses the Mark, but Sparks My Curiosity

    I like Goliaths in part because I hate their culture. It's super easy for me to make a Goliath that wanted to leave the tribe as soon as they could. My latest one Is a Sage background Goliath Rune Knight who's goal is to explore the relation between Goliaths and true Giants and in pursuit of...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much money is D&D 5e actually making?

    Good question. Probably. It might include board games too for all I know.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much money is D&D 5e actually making?

    The market is changing for sure. There's not a lot of reason to walk into physical stores anymore for one. Adult Collectors are a bigger share of the market than ever before (some of whom are angry at star wars). Hasbro even runs kickstarters now on their big stuff just to measure interest I...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition monks

    oh yeah that's full focus movement for sure. seems legit. This probably what I would do, just like the jump rules, it's easier to just call for an Athletics check 😉

    D&D 5E (2014) How much money is D&D 5e actually making?

    Toys too. If D&D can break into the mainstream of toys Hasbro Execs would... I don't high five or whatever business people do.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition monks

    A great Question! And since i love strongman another video! Hafthor Bjornsson here is carrying an lighter 409 lbs stone for 322 ft in about 47 seconds. So something like 6.85 feet each second or 41 feat per round. There is a good chance he is an actual Goliath or Bear Totem Barbarian though...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition monks

    Oh not at all, but If the game actually incorporated things like the square cube ratio it would be extremely slow to run. Yup, that would be a practically impossible. As they say in Strongman "Mass Moves Mass". The size of handles used, and even if an event has handles at all drastically...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition monks

    I was thinking about this. With the world record deadlift being 1102 lbs (a crazy phenomenal feat of strength, perhaps the most impressive ever) dividing that by 30 would result in a Strength score of 36.7. So crazy off the scale, but If you say professional strongmen have a feature like...
