Let's hope the gods of telecommunication will have mercy with you and the situation is fixed soon. Not sure if sacrificing a chicken can help. If anyone wants to bridge the time while Craig's network connection is fixed, here is a cool thread...

I'd like to see four types of monsters / NPCs in 5E: 1) NPCs for interaction Ex: Kings, questgivers, bar wenches... These don't need combat stat writeups, just ability scores and skills 2) Monsters Ex: Purple Worm, Orc warband These are purely combat enemies. They use 4E monster format...

I'd love to see level titles, but only if they use 4E naming conventions. Fighter 1 Noobacious Fightyguy 2 Swordswinger Orcslasher 3 Platewearer Monsterchallenger 4 Metalhead Pointywielder 5 Axegrinder Goobsmacker 6 Footstomp Dragonpiercer ...

Connorsrpg: I like what you are doing there, but it fits a different purpose. Your tables assume the DM has time - time to roll on separate tables, time to look through a document with several pages, time to go back to his library and get a book, time to completely rewrite the monster with a...

Before we continue this discussion, I'd like everyone to read this excellent article: Playing D&D With Porn Stars: 5 Kinds of Random Generators & What Makes Them Not Suck The basic misunderstanding is that I have written a simple _inspirational_ generator. The main criticism is that it doesn't...

I don't know? What do you do if you stand in front of a pizza restaurant, you are really hungry but already had pizza every day for the last 3 days? a) eat pizza anyway b) go to the hamburger shop next door c) go home and make dinner yourself d) go home and ask your g/f to make you a sandwich...

Ok, next up, Gelatinous Cube!

In a perfect world of full-time perfect DMs: Yes. In real life, with DMs who have a life, a job, a girlfriend, and like to start a session with no more than a small note sheet of preparation and wing it from there, this is exactly the stuff I need. The point of spending JPY3000 to buy an RPG...

Here is an idea for 5E. I tried to bounce this off in rpg.net, but this forum has failed me (yet again...) I should have listened to common sense and come to enworld in the first place. Here is the idea: When the DM introduces a group of monsters, say, a bunch of orc minions, good DMs will...

If it helps, here is a table. When the user scribbles a word (< >) on the flask, roll. Potion of ... d20 1 Erase Memory of < > 2 < > Immunity 3 < > Resistance 4 Permanent < > Resistance 5 < > Slaying 6 < > Taste 7 < > Illusion 8 Teleport to < > / Shift to plane of < > 9 Speak with <...

That's what D&D needs - a consumer complaints department for artifacts. "Mordenkainen's Magnificient Mansion, this is Imp 127 speaking. How can I help you?" - "That wishing flask of yours, it poisoned me!" - "I apologize, Sir. May I know what you wrote on the flask?" - "Erm, Poison." - "And I...

*accidental double post*

The joy of seeing an old friend is cut short by the whimpering and coughing of the young lady in Threilens arms. This is not the moment to stand outside in the snow and exchange old stories. A quick exchange of glances, and the three of you rush down to the little hospital that Kari is running...

No, it's d20 all over again :) It wasn't by WotC, but pretty much all of the above was covered.

phoamslinger, loonook: Thanks for your input, but none of what you wrote addresses the simple fact that in D&D nothing stops a high-level Wizard from opening a portal to the elemental plane of gold, and minting his own coins with the help of a few golems. Maybe the explanation is that coins are...

I'm repeating myself, but "not miss when stabbing with pointy things" does not balance the fighter against the wizard. Not if the competition can stop time and scribble a mustache on the enemy's face for the lulz. Doing moar hit point damage does not balance the fighter, when the competition can...

Memories... Fauner Pösen, the only NPC I ever wanted to kill for having a horrible stupid name. 7th Sea had great ideas, but felt too much like Disneyland and not enough like 17th century Europe with dashing swordsmen and occult sorcerers. We'll see what he'll come up with.

What you call "advanced rules" is 3rd-edition D&D. Frankly, I was very happy when 4E cut out most of the subsystems and complications and streamlined the system. I miss some of the old-style utility spells, but when it comes to combat magic, 4E wins hands down. I'm currently playing a PF...
