You're allowed to have your own likes and dislikes; I figure as long as you gave it the ol' college try, you're allowed to decide its not for you. Having played literally all editions of D&D, I can understand! However, if my friends and current players discovered that I wanted to run B/X or...

Oh, right, I forgot one thing: Digest-sized softcover of the books. I love having my books with me, but can't lug them all to the game every week, along with everything else.

Ranger. Or just a functional pet class. Or a functional summoner.

The only two things that I have any interest in on this specific list is the new 7th Sea book and Eclipse Phase 2e. I'll probably never get to run or play either, but I love the worldbuilding.

I think the game is doing fine; there are some holes, but for the most part its doing well. The latest two adventures, Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage, probably won't do as well as previous offerings, I would guess. I hope that they realize its because of the content, rather than the...

I'm doing this for my next campaign...running from a computer is fine, and I can't sell my next campaign like I am the current one anyway!

I have zero interest in Dungeon of the Mad Mage. There's very little that's new and interesting; and I cannot stand those maps. I will probably end up buying Dragon Heist eventually, but its a short adventure. My feeling is that Mad Mage will be a bit of a harsh sell, Dragon Heist will taper...

I was tempted to get the magic item cards last week, but decided not to...I tend to write a bunch of lore for my magic items, anyway, so it wouldn't really be that useful.

The thing that pushed me away from buying the book last week was paging through it and seeing the maps they did provide. Wth. I'm 100% fine with the levels being incomplete; I'm a halfway decent DM and writer, and can homebrew the rest if necessary, stealing from things like Rappan Athuk if...

I wrote this little diddy up when coming up with the character. The game was so :):):):) the group unanimously decided that the DM wasn't right for us, so I got to DM. Probably will never get to play him the right way, as I'm a ForeverDM, but I might try to work him into a story or whenever the...

I'm tempted to steal this, but I also don't want to steal from a player's natural 20, so might not.

I've wanted to us the Facing rules, but my players voted against it. I have a few houserules, otherwise, but no real variants from the DMG.

I'm super curious about this...but my players would hate going through characters so quickly; that's why they won't let me run B/X or S&W. I might end up getting the PDF and stealing the plot for a D&D game, where they'll get to punch Nyarlethotep in the head.

Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron. I'm not sure of its balance, since I only glanced at it briefly (my guess is its probably a little too good).

I've actually got homebrew versions for both, but to date, no one's ever taken them! In general, I've always viewed any mechanic as, "If literally every character would want to take it, it's probably too good." The only exception being Tough, which my players would scream bloody murder should I...

The only problem I've experienced with two weapon fighting is when compared to another character using the feat Great Weapon Master to get the +10; the penalty to hit doesn't really have that much of an effect (your mileage may vary, but this is my experience over the course of 4 campaigns, 2 of...

I've banned a few things from my games, mostly for mechanical reasons (Alert, GWM, SS, Healing Spirit). The only thing that I can think of that got banned for thematic reasons was Dragonborn, simply because they just don't exist in the setting. Or, at least I haven't figured out a way to work...

Uh, gotta say, not a fan in any way. 5e is about carrot, not stick. Penalties like that are to be avoided, imo.

I also allow Inspiration to be used for a DM hint, in case the players are stuck; I run a mystery/investigation heavy game, though, so your mileage may vary.

Yeah, I'd have to say no to that. The reason being, the title of the magic item is bracers of archery. If you're not firing an archery weapon, it doesn't apply; since casting a spell isn't even an attack action, there's no argument, at least in my eyes. That being said, would I allow a player...
