Yep, less than a week per piece for the art my partner commissioned. If artist want to make money they need to work fast!

My partner has commissioned art by contacting artist through deviantart.com I will say you need to be more careful now as the site is flooded with amateur AI art, so you will need to work a bit more to find a true artist. Artstation as more pro’s IMO, but they will cost more too

How about whoever rolls first (DM or PC) goes first. I don’t mean roll initiative so much as declared action and roll to hit, etc.

I think you are missing something. They are not a swarm, but more like 4e minions from what I see

Well, in the cartoon he was able to combine their magic with his to boost his strength. He didn’t use them individually, but all together as some type of supercharger

Well I am glad my DM is more creative than that! I’m not surprised!

But how can a player role play their character if the player doesn’t know the things the character does / should? It’s the DMs world, shouldn’t the DM tell players some basic info their character should / does know? See @SteveC ’s post right after yours (post #120)

Sure, but the whole background mechanic gives a large assumption of knowledge that really isn’t defined if the DM doesn’t provide the information. There’s a bunch of stuff that character should know, if the DM isn’t willing to allow that, well that kind of sucks I think as a player myself.

Right, typically a character would know stuff outside of simply what they have been played through.they have a whole history and knowledge that predates them being PCs

So if people typically know things, yet you tell them nothing aren’t you seriously breaking immersion and realism in your games? So is intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. But you seem to suggest those have to be role played and use rules. Just curious why that doesn’t also include strength...

And weird, people typically know things about the world they live in. how so do you enforce weak players portraying really strong characters? Do they roll to smash in a door, or do you let them beat on a door in your house? Then why do people play magic users or fantasy races or in a fantasy...

There are prices by rarity in the 2014 DMF too. Though I heard these have been updated in the 2024 DMG

But how do they play their character if you don’t tell them anything about the world? How do I play a player with 18 strengths? If I’m not told that age string teen strength means. Or 18 intelligence and I’m really not that smart. Isn’t the whole point of playing a game like DND to role-play a...

Not IME. We have run lengthy, multi year campaigns with little to no predetermined setting (I know because I sleep with the enemy - aka the DM). And I don’t personally think internal consistency is vital (others may differ), it doesn’t impact my enjoyment as a player that I can think of.

Nah, you can totally have a great time playing improv as group. You don’t have to have a setting fleshed out at all really to play D&D

These two seem to be in conflict with each other. If you never tell the players anything about the game how do they figure things out?

I am pretty sure that is @Micah Sweet’s viewpoint too

They did, you are correct

You continue to prove my point.

No, I don’t want to give up on the to hit roll
