I do wish that races and subraces would go back to strengths and weaknesses like they use to have, it made playing those races fun and bred creativity for players to build off of on top of everything else. Sadly they are taking out a lot of things like that, including gold dwarf, mountain dwarf...

I might save up and get my dad. I could have swore he had it, but it might have been my uncles (when each of them have a set of books with different people owning slightly different ones, my kid mind has blended together who owns what LOL!) It seems like an amazing book to have and a great piece...

For me, it depends on how well the characters know a person. If they have just met the NPC and they are trying to convince them of something, like haggling, intimidating, convincing them of a lie, whatever; then I would ask them for a roll with advantage or disadvantage depending on how well...

For me, it depends. If it doesn't explicitly forbid an action, and the action isn't going to become exploitative; then I will allow it to happen. If it doesn't explicitly forbid an action but that action could easily be abused or exploited, then it's no. It's the same for the restrictive. If it...

My set up is in the middle of Theater of The Mind, and simple. I hand draw maps when I need them and everything else is Theater lol. I don't do tokens as the maps are mainly as an aid to show size and even the shape of a room. When you play with a large group some things can get lost in the...

I would rather not ruin my book lol. It's an oddly specific way of getting room size lol, If it works for you then sure lol. Thanks for the giggle, though I think I have my plan of attack now for the map. I'm almost done actually lol.

I want to thank you all for your help and I wish I had of had time sooner to thank you all, but I barely had time to add the likes. Thank you for the precise math and, surprisingly not making it too complicated. I got the gist of it and I will have to still figure out how it works for my brain...

Hello! So, I have a question. I draw my maps out for my players because...well I love to do it. I am trying to recreate this map that's really small on a page, but it has a couple diagonal rooms. Now, usually the rooms have sizes for them...but reading through the module and the descriptions of...

Player "owns" the PC, it's their character after all. They spent the time building it, playing it, advancing it as they decided; they shaped it into what they wanted them to be. DM has no right to it, unless the player gives them permission to use them somewhere else as an NPC in a quiet town or...

I definitely will if I run it! I'm not too worried about the damage, I already have a couple things in here that are going to be hard, if it's annoying for my players to a degree, that's fine by me lol. Thank you so much!

Yeah...Went and read it after...I was kind of worrying about that. I'm not too sure what level everyone is going to get here by, I like the way you did this monster, also thank you SO MUCH for the tools and advice for converting, it makes it so much easier. I'm going to play around with both and...

YES! that's the one! I will confess that I did get the idea from my uncle to add something in like it, to tie in some familiarity for my dad and my uncles as we play 5e. I was trying to use the WoTC table of how to convert older monsters to 5e...but honestly, they make it more confusing on top...

Hello! So, I'm working on something for my Tyranny campaign and I came across a monster that was not transferred over to 5e...maybe. It's the Knight Denizen and I'm looking to use it's equivalent. The one that keeps popping up for it is Narzugon, but I think it's because its got the word...

THAC0 no longer being a thing. While I grew up with it and understand how it works, it was just very limiting and confusing for people that didn't start from when the game came out. Other than that...It seems to me that I'm adding more things to 5e from original, but that's just me, that's...

You could do it where they are immune to things like polymorph and other alteration spells?

No, there are a lot of things in the playetest stuff that I didn't like, no matter how much it was seemingly tweaked. I only like two things from it, three if you count the brawler they took out. I liked that they gave Warlock some spell levels, as Warlock felt like a complete jumbled mess, and...

Hello! So, I'm working on something for myself and I was going over the Darkvision for the elves and...I only now just realized how it's written and now I feel I might have been using it wrong. It says: " ...You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in...

In my opinion, the reason why modules don't sell well is because of two reasons: 1. Wizards doesn't put enough history of these places or their associated places into the modules themselves. They expect the DMs to already know all about the history via other sources that aren't available...

Assassin Rogue, to me anyways, feels like they took original Thief, trimmed it down, and then never went anywhere with it and just shoved it in as an option. Personally, I think they should have poisons last longer as in a reoccurring damage die until healed, but that's a whole other topic...

I enjoy reading through this. It's pretty insightful. When playing I don't honestly tend to notice how long things take, usually we are too busy having fun slaying monsters and in my case, playing out monsters so that they are entertaining for the players. I'm considering timing it...but I have...
