    Why Do You Hate An RPG System?

    I wouldn't say "hate", but there are some RPGs I dislike. I usually dislike RPGs when: 1) they use dice pools -> even worse when they use dice pools and you have to SUM the results up! 2) they're not supported by a copious amount of pre-written scenarios

    D&D 4E Am I crazy? I've just gotten a hankering to play 4e again...

    After level 11, I halved all monsters' HP, and doubled their damage. Worked like a charm!

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] Party based on classic horror monsters

    We're planning a Ravenloft Campaign, and each players wants to create a character "inspired" by a classic horror monster. How would you "build" such a character? Some ideas we had: Werewolf = Shifter Barbarian (or Ranger); Vampire = Shadar-kai something... not sure; Witch = human (or...

    Critical Role Explorer's Guide to Wildemount Rockets to #1 In 'All Books' on Amazon

    I've been playing an online West-Marches style game set in the world of Exandria since 2017, met wonderful people, and still going strong. It is simply undeniable that CR is one of the best things to ever happen to DnD and the RPG community at large since the invention of the d20...

    D&D General How Would You Do a Dragon Themed Campaign?

    Since I'm a big Birthright fan, I'd go with Dragon Bloodlines. There's 10 pure bloodlines, and PCs get some additional powers/features based on their Bloodline. Cue a big war between the different dragonblooded families. Of course each bloodline is allied with their own dragons, so dragon...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Barbarian’s “Meh”

    I'm having a blast with my barbarian! We're playing through Princes of the Apocalypse, and we decided each character would have an elemental theme. So I picked Water. I'm Zadas Sunumath, Triton Zealot of POSEEEEEEEEEIDOOOON! (that's what I scream every time I crit) For some time I was using a...

    AD&D 2E Darksun converted to 5e, trying to be true to 2e

    Well, this was a case of the player being tired of his character, so he asked me for a way to remove him ASAP. Since we're playing an adventure called Dragon's Crown, where there's some sort of psionic disease spreading, I thought to make him go with a literal BANG!

    AD&D 2E Darksun converted to 5e, trying to be true to 2e

    If you want, have a look at my Conversion Notes. We've been playing a Dark Sun Campaign (Fury of Freedom) with 5e rules since 2017, and it's working very well!

    D&D 5E (2014) Deep Dive into Descent Into Avernus

    It is my understanding that the souls trapped in the coins are the souls of those who ended up in Hell, or that made bargains with devils (hence, their soul would end up in Hell). Their final reward being, eternity in Hell. I suppose good gods wouldn't allow good souls to end up in Hell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deep Dive into Descent Into Avernus

    I'm still not convinced that destroying a evil soul is an evil act. If I'm not mistaken, devils (and demons) are "evil souls given form", and when they're killed in their home plane, they're gone for good. Would you consider that an evil act?

    D&D 5E (2014) Deep Dive into Descent Into Avernus

    It's probably been discussed before, but I don't even see the moral quandary. PCs kill goblins by the scores all the time, most of my players don't even consider the fact that they "go to hell". It's just "they're the bad guys, we kill them". And why would "consuming" the soul be an evil act...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deep Dive into Descent Into Avernus

    yeah, this line it's what got me thinking ". If it’s still trapped in the furnace when this duration ends, the soul is destroyed. " makes you think there's a possibility to release it before it's destroyed. But the first sentence says "it consumes"

    You're completely right... aw well, I guess they got that coming, bad evil souls from Hell!

    D&D 5E (2014) Deep Dive into Descent Into Avernus

    Soul Coins An infernal war machine’s furnace consumes a soul coin instantly, expending all the coin’s remaining charges at once and destroying the coin in the process. The soul trapped in the coin becomes trapped in the furnace instead, powering the infernal war machine for a duration determined...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] Spell - Reincarnate - Can the "piece" be harvested BEFORE I die?

    The spells mentions "You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid." Can I harvest the "piece" in advance (say, a tooth) while I'm still alive, and then cast Reincarnate on the tooth? I've recently been disintegrated, and there's no "pieces" left of my dead humanoid body... But...

    D&D General Biggest DM regret

    Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but isn't there some kind of mercy rule in AL, where you get auto-ressed at the end of the game? My biggest DM regret... well, since the year 2004 I keep a journal of all my games (both as a DM and as a player) online. But I've been playing since 1990, and I...
