Nah. It's just ENWorld. :D You're welcome. I hope you can tease some signal out of the noise. Good point. I think I might have jerked my knee a bit too hard, there. Here we begin to skate on the thin ice of fantasy tropes, in which some things are assumed to be inherently an irrevocably...

And to anyone other than a murderhobo, that'd be obvious. :P Seriously, your player, OP, is treating a sentient being, a thing with intelligence, personality, desires and dreams, like it's just ... a thing. If she thinks she can just send it off to be "reeducated," if anyone's alignment needs...

I'd rule that static restraints would fail, but that if the sorceror was actively grappled the grapple status would remain until broken by RAW. In other words, if she's in manacles, she could slip free, but if she was grappled by another creature, she would have to break the grapple in a...

It's happened in my game, and I went RAW - the character didn't get cured until much later. It presented some interesting roleplaying opportunities leading to lots of drama. I created a system where the character could try to resist the change, as well as a system where the character when placed...

At the risk of shameless self-promoting, I have some introductory low-level stuff on DM's Guild. I specifically design my stuff to be easy for beginning DMs to run, and to be quick and episodic. Regards, Bob www.r-p-davis.com

That's brilliant. I'm jealous. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees That depends entirely upon the group. If they want to go a direction you don't, and you insist on going your direction, well...the shoe might very well fit, should you insist they adapt to and accept your direction...

Fair. I saw the attribution. If it's all in fun, he might get away with it. But it's a gray area in terms of IP.

That's what I was getting at. For that I am glad. I'm glad you had fun. Hell, I wouldn't have given you too much flak for it, though I would have raised an eyebrow. ;) There's where you're coming a cropper, mate. It's not about "taking it seriously." It's about not being a wankpuppet. If...

Agreed. Those are pretty epic. :) Cheers, Bob www.r-p-davis.com

I wonder where they got permission to pinch all that art from Wizards. There's a lot from M:TG cards, from the look of it. I mean, it looks awesome, and is incredibly handy, but it really does steal a lot of IP. Regards, Bob www.r-p-davis.com

No lie, one my instructors in my US Army training was Sergeant Major. Not Sergeant Major Smith or something. His last name was Major, and he was a Sergeant. Lots of push-ups later, we learned that he didn't enjoy the joke nearly as much as we did. Hear, hear. Stupid names show a lack of...

I10 is in the process of conversion. Look for it soon on DMs Guild. http://classicmodulestoday.com/modules-conversion-list/ Cheers, Bob Davis www.r-p-davis.com

I prefer this to simply having the entrance shut. They have a choice: To fight the BBEG or flee. If they fight, they'll die (they should die!) and it'll teach them a valuable lesson about when to run away. If they flee, they run into a prepared sequence of new adventure you've designed for them...

I do, but not because I think they're too powerful. Cantrips have zero to do with "balance" beyond making sure every player has an "I hit it with my axe" option every turn. This in a game where the wizard can have a light crossbow anyway. My problem is that cantrips take flavor away from a...

I don't think it's metaphysical at all. It's quite clear - one is hit points, the other isn't. Precisely. Just like poisoned or restrained or whatever else is in the conditions list. After all, exhaustion is explicitly discussed in the PHB's appendix on conditions. An effect imposes the...

Good! That's what having a class-based system means. THIS RIGHT HERE.

While that's true in terms of budgeting and hard numbers, there are intangibles surrounding attendance at events which cannot be easily quantified. My wife and I have a small business which used to do events. We never made any money at them. Ever. We spent a TON on inventory, getting to and...

This idea is very intriguing. At low levels, there is very little change between this and RAW. At higher levels, the power of magic is there - the Wizard can wish for things and travel the planes - but in combat isn't some kind of arcane Gatling gun. In combat the Wizard at 20th level is...

I think it depends on what you're going for. If you're going for that classic, gritty, Robert E Howard feel, magic is incredibly rare. Those who practice it are in positions of power in their societies. They very likely not adventurers. They're the ones summoning a giant snake to kill the...

Working on a Classic Modules Today is the most fun I've had since DMs Guild came out. I get to make 5E content while revisiting adventures I played as a spotty adolescent. I've finished one - N3 Destiny of Kings - and I'm working on another, I13 Adventure Pack 1. Eventually we'll get through...
