    D&D 5E (2014) Instant Death. Am I the only one who experienced this or what?

    I agree. Not tracking encumbrance, food, arrows, etc. all lead to overcompensating for the game being too easy by using stronger monsters than necessary which tends to lead to TPKs, followed by complaints that the CR system doesn't work and the game is too swingy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Instant Death. Am I the only one who experienced this or what?

    Instant death is not a variant rule. I've always used it and it has happened a handful of times. Dozens of time within a couple HP of it happening.

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield Saltiness

    Players can't be bothered to track encumbrance. Or arrows. Or food. Or spend an action to strap a shield on. Maybe we shouldn't bother them with tracking spell slots. Where does it end? Is Hit Points too much even? Give me a break. 5e already allows waaaaay too much in a single 6 second round as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attribute Score Method

    3d6 down the line, for every edition of D&D I've ever played. Anything else feels like cheating.

    D&D 5E (2014) Less armour but same protection

    I'd do nothing. Otherwise what's the point of limiting the armor available?

    D&D General What does D&D look like without Death on the Table?

    Not being afraid of death makes every combat meaningless. If death, actual death and loss of my character permanently, isn't on the table, I'm not sitting at that table. I don't have time for boring games.

    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    Fine with me, I hate what WotC has done.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Don't forget the DM can control what's allowed in any given campaign. No drow, only tortles, whatever.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    Many races have been available as playable for decades. Tortles date back to the Red Steel setting, for example.

    OSR Red Box, but like modern I guess?!?!?

    The red box doesn't do THAC0 anyway, just the charts. But really 20 - old school AC = new school AC.

    OSR Red Box, but like modern I guess?!?!?

    Why go clone? Just play the original.

    D&D 5E (2014) Races with floating bonuses: Designing from scratch

    If you change the stat bonus from race to floating, it doesn't matter if you move them to class or feats or whatever, it's the same thing wherever it is. A stat bonus to anything you want. I'd have preferred the race maybe have a couple choices for that stat bump, but not just become a free for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Races with floating bonuses: Designing from scratch

    No bonuses but racial ranges. It's absurd that a halfling can be as strong as a goliath.

    I use the speed factors DMG variant.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is up with the popularity of watching other D&D groups play the game?

    I agree with you 100%. I'm also DM 99% of the time and have been playing just under 40 years.
