    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    Do you actually give "classes" to the rest of the world? I mean, in my campaigns, only PCs have "classes", the rest of the world have stats-blocks.

    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    I would take it as far as classes, in this specific context. I mean, imagine you're watching a DnD movie, and there's two characters casting fireballs. And they both say "we're mages". And they both say "we went to school to learn our spells". Then they publish their stats, and one is a Wizard...

    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    I would like the mechanics completely separated from the fluff. In fact, fluff should have its own separate chapter in any book, refering the crunch when needed. DnD tries to be setting-agnostic, but still injects "lore" in its classes. That's what bothers me sometimes. "Sorcerers carry a...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'd really, really like to hear about some fights with Strahd . . !

    I would have loved to have you as a DM in my final fight against Strahd. We killed him in round one, and two players didn't even take their turn...

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    Could work for DnD too. I think a lot of official DnD art portrays dark elves in various shades of greys, going to purple.

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    Didn't we have Dark Elves in the Marvel universe? They were portrayed as generally evil, right? What's the problem?

    D&D General What's your Campaign Success Rate?

    I'm thinking 90% or more complete/successful, especially if I DM. I used to DM two-three years long campaigns, but lately I prefer shorter campaigns here they are, if you're interested in details https://faustopassarelli.wixsite.com/rpgcampaigns

    D&D 5E (2014) Free 60+ page Guide to Sword & Sorcery for 5E D&D

    @xoth.publishing pardon my lazyness, but would it be possible to have a list of the ALLOWED spells, instead of mentioning those that should be removed? Or did I miss it? Awesome work btw, I'm really considering running a S&S campaign with 5e rules now. Getting a bit burned out on Eberron, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) High Level Adventure Ideas

    the giant lairs of Storm King's Thunder are great for high-levels. How did the author think that a lvl 9 party could tackle a dungeon full of giants escapes me, but I guess the idea was to avoid the fights? For your high-level party, just make sure the end goal includes confrontation

    D&D 5E (2014) Is my brother a problem player? Or am I just a bad DM?

    When I read this kind of posts, I'm always curious to know also the "other side" of the story. If your brother could read this, what would he reply? In fact, maybe you should give him a link, and give him a chance to tell his side of the story. From what I can read, yes, your brother sounds...

    OSR How Would You Convert WHFRPG to OSR?

    I've done this in the past, with BECM. In all honesty, I didn't add any rule, I just played the module, but we used DnD rules. We were all quite versed in WH lore, and that was really all that was needed. The cleric prayed to Sigmar, the wizard selected mostly spells related to his wind...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New D&D Book: Candlekeep Mysteries: 17 Mystery Adventures [UPDATED!]

    Once the cleric of our party cast speak with dead on a victim, and when he asked "who killed you?" the corpse said "you". She was killed by a doppelganger that had taken the PC's semblance. City guard was present during the casting, so good times were had by all :D

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you improve monsters?

    No more "spells" in their stats block. I hate to have to reference another book, I want all the info already there and ready. And a small "tactics" section, with suggestions on how to use a monsters abilities.

    D&D 5E (2014) What tools would you choose?

    Guess we're going into OT land, but I kinda agree with Flamestrike. Personally, in my games I'll allow only "equal" switches - tool for tool, weapon for weapon, but not weapon for tool.

    D&D 5E (2014) Was the Rune Knight (in Tasha's) "over-nerfed"?

    would that work, though? I understand the logic of it, and I blame the rules for the wonky way they handle different sized weapons (see Enlarge, or even Rune Knight with the pesky 1d6 bonus damage 1/turn, pfff), but I’m guessing some DMs will not go for it. I mean, it really does makes complete...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's Time To Rethink What An Adventure Path Can Be On Roll20

    I’d also like to know about the timeline for the other chapters. VERY interested in this, but don’t want to have to stop the campaign because I miss the following chapters.
