Yeah, if it were me... I'd have the party emerge from the mists on the west side of the Baratok Valley on the Old Svalich Road and have the first thing they come across is the sight of the stone abbey above the treeline, clinging to the snowy mountainside. They then come across the dilapidated...

If we just assume an eldritch cannon has magical "intelligent targeting" as part of its design (as though it was a pet or familiar)... the cannon can find targets themselves by what "it" "sees", rather than the artificer needing to aim it and direct it.

There's an RPG corollary to the famous phrase "No plan survives first contact with the enemy", which is... "No part of a DM's world-building survives first contact with their players." A DM will spend oodles of time trying to build logical reasonings to entire hosts of various things in their...

And besides... wasn't the whole point of people wanting a new Forgotten Realms campaign setting book for 5E was because Faerun had advanced over 100 years past the exceedingly comprehensive 3rd edition FRCS and they wanted all the areas of the continent "updated" with new lore and information...

I've never been one to really get concerned about languages in games such as this myself, because at the end of the day there are really meaningfully only two-- the language that the players (and their PCs) use to communicate with each other and the world... and the language that no one in the...

The only reason I would ever take a single level dip of Fighter would be that I wanted the Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style as like a Cleric and that was the only way to acquire it. There's no other reason why I would ever bother with a level dip in any class because all the other features...

That's a very good point. If in fact this is truly the case with DDB's under-the-hood workings... it means we might easily see the Free Rules entry move up in ranking over the next several years, as more people keep clicking on the Free Rules links for information.

At this point I think all of us are fine with whatever terms we use now to distinguish these revised books... whether that be 5.5, 5R, 5E24 or whatever. We all get it, we all know what we are referring to, and there's no "official" term that people are rebelling against by choosing one over...

For me personally, I see a separation between the "genre" of fantasy and the prototypical "fantasy TTRPG", which is Dungeons & Dragons. Brandon Sanderson, George R. R. Martin, Tolkien etc. are a lot more about politics, relationships, travel and so forth, and much less about fighting for...

I've played Supers before in short games... one-shots or several-session runs. But I've never run or played in a long-term campaign about Supers, and I'm pretty sure its because the Supers genre is really focused on one primary thing-- combat. We make all kinds of talk here about how D&D is a...

Okay. Although maybe next time let me know as part of your response that you weren't quoting me to argue with me but merely that my post triggered an idea you had... that way I don't bother responding back to you as though you were looking for a fight, LOL! :)

Okay, fine. You wanted to make a comment about your issues with DDB. Fine. No big deal. But that has nothing to do with my post, so why did you quote me then?

That's fine, and I don't discount other people's needs. But @Belen quoted me directly to talk about this (rather than just make an individual post saying they didn't like DDB's search functionality)... implying that they had a conflict with my use of DDB. As though my feeling on DDB should be...

When using DDB I don't usually use the search bar, I tend to just go to the respective book or the section of 'Game Rules' that has what I'm looking up. But I also don't find taking the one or two seconds to look down the list of options when making a search bar 'Incapacitated' search to find...

Ran two sessions of 5E24 these past two Mondays. Went fine. No real change for me from running 5E14. Did like the Rules Glossary at the back of the PHB as it made finding the bits a bit faster when we needed to know some of the new rules and changes (like how certain conditions are ruled.)...

Okay, fine. Then you choose for yourself why high-level gets less play. I'm just giving out potential reasons. If you want to argue with all of them go ahead... but that just seems rather pointless to me. Make up whatever reasons you want to answer the question if you don't want to accept...

Sure... but isn't the point of this thread asking why more people don't play high-level games, not why people are not choosing to play the game WotC/TSR published in the manner they did? To which one of the answers is that we just don't need to play high-level games. There is nothing...

I dunno... it really isn't hard to down-power a pit fiend so that a party can face off against it at like level 8, nor difficult to let 10th level characters run kingdoms if that's what the campaign theme is about. And teleportation? Misty Step is done by starting characters, Teleportation...

It would, although I do wonder what the price points of the three versions would end up being (hardcover, DDB, Sigil)? Right now you can buy the hardcover adventures for $50, the DDB version for $30, and the two combined for $60 (for a $20 discount). My instincts would tell me that a Sigil...

If it is defective, why are you buying it? Or why are you keeping it but then just complaining that it doesn't work? If you don't want it, then just return it. But if you are going to keep it for whatever ridiculous reason... then at least make some use of it. Kit-bash it into a useable...
