Backgrounds are my favorite addition with 5e. They really add another dimension to the character. Concentration is the mechanic I'm most conflicted about. It addresses the issues associated with buff overload, but not in the most elegant way. I've houseruled it slightly, and will possibly add...

Inspiration drawn from Water Margin and Three Kingdoms would be welcome as well! I'm hopeful we'll get an updated OA. The name honestly sounds a little dated at this point, so perhaps they'll go with something more current sounding, like "Wuxia Adventures".

Honestly, the policing by Morrus and crew is top notch. They devote a big chunk of time to keeping the peace on these forums and respond quickly to (what I assume is) frequent use of the report button. Whenever I feel my mouse hovering over the "Ignore List" I get a page or two further into the...

Social media is too fleeting and poorly archived to replace forums. ENWorld has a bright future if it absorbs the exodus. I look forward to the new perspectives.

Yes, he did. Called it "ranger revisited". Found a random site hosting a copy of the pdf:THE RANGER REVISITED...

My sandbox was episodic in the sense that the map was a collection of points of interest with hooks attached. The party went whereever they wanted without any guidance from me. There were no story arcs. It was like wandering in a random direction in Skyrim. Better yet, Scooby-Doo is the perfect...

My campaigns consist of tons of up front worldbuilding, and then I have a loose outline of the various story arcs that will play out as the players proceed thorough the story. My games are definitely not a sandbox, and play more like a module set in an expansive setting. The outline can get...

Most of these monsters are unfamiliar to me. Could they possibly mesh with a module tied to introducing PC psionics?

The groupthink in our group is that fixed numbers are better for leveling.

I noticed this first with 4th edition. Progression rate has become more and more a meta function of the needs of a gaming group, rather than a logical progression within the game. The pace of advancement feels rewarding, so I think the problem lies more with the in-game passage of time. Rather...

Don't have it on hand, but you might want to check the 5e playtest that included the kender, IIRC it also gave stats for the hoopak.

I like both the clean-looking highly detailed maps of the 3e years, but also the in-world "player handout" type maps like the Dragon+ #3 map. In a perfect world, I'd have both in physical form. For now, I'm still rocking my 4-part 3e Dragon magazine mega-map.

:confused: Before it sunk in that you meant "cancelling one D&D session", I was picturing a hardcore DM cashing in 40 hours of vacation time and shacking up with the module like it's their hot new lover.

Even people I know who are big Paizo/PF fans were confused by this game when it was announced. A combat system not rooted in 3e, an older MMO model, and a PvP focus made it confusing from the start. It's never good when companies in this hobby have setbacks...but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't...

I've heard the call for the atheist PC, and unless you are running a unique setting that allows for it, I generally think it is a garbage idea. :eek: Denying the gods that actively participate in the world makes as much sense as denying the existence of dragons, wizards, or guys with pointy...

What I like about 5e healing is that it gets people back in the action and keeps them still relevant to the fight (being a sidelined PC is no fun and being a crippled PC might feel un-heroic at times). If you feel a change is needed, something like the no-reset death saves is better than a...

D&D is not a charity. A lot of this thread is getting hung up on "who was wrong" or "who should apologize". It doesn't matter if you are at fault or the other guy, it matters if you are having fun. If you are not enjoying your leisure time, don't do it. If all parties are harmed by...

Great poll! Monster books are always great for lazy DMs. Can't have enough. OA and MotP are classic books that have something (somewhere?) new to say, rather than simply being bloat for the sake of choices.

Explainer: Morrus is British, so he's talking about a drowght, which is a measurement of servings of drow beer. B-)
