    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Not sure what will be in the player's pack is. But I think Sacrosanct was referencing the handouts not the maps.

    It does indeed suck, unless they assume everyone has a color copier Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Can you elaborate? As I said there are about 14 maps of various areas that are not the main areas of interest. Those could be considered side quests. I remember that a prince in town would ask for mini quests. I assume that perhaps 10 NPCs might ask about 10 of those locations? Sent from my...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Agreed. Taking a better look at it this lunch, the city does not contain any mini adventures. Their are many personalities, many little things to do, and information to glean, but no in City mini adventures. There are many points of interest throughout the land that have information ranging...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I think that is when you really start venturing out of the city. But it looks like the city has a lot of flavor that makes it stand out from a simple jungle run. I would not like to skip that. So while I think it is true that 5th lvl is where you start to directly investigate the main plot. 1-4...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Hmm the $24 for DnDBeyond is very temping. Making the total price fairly steep Book + Online resource... but damn... an online resource for this adventure might be just what I need.

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    I only play at the table, but I do have FG (the game I got it for fell through). I am wondering if anyone has run a game at the table using FG as a resource? How well does it compare to just the book?

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    When I said thoughts on level ranges from 1-9 I meant that they have suggestions for handling characters from 1 through 9. At first level do this... if they are 5 th level do this instead. If they are 9th level do the other. As for the assumption of XP leveling that could be. But they do give...

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    Got it yesterday. Here are some of my first thoughts It is a huge adventure. With thoughts on characters with starting levels between 1st and 9th lvl. It has a list of around 50 named NPCs with short descriptions and pronunciations all in one handy page. The Death Curse is not messing around...

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    You don't have to rely on sage advice. It is in the rules. The only true confusion there ever was was because the old sage advice was wack. It was crazy pedantic by interpreting the long rest rules in the worst possible way. Now that THAT was fixed they could only interpret it as most people...

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    It does remind me of the character in wheel of Time. He had amazing luck, if he was about to get stabbed the best thing for him to do was to throw chaos into the mix. Since chaos situations always fell his way, being at a disadvantage was an advantage. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    Sure looks pretty clear to me. If an elf uses Trance during a long rest. They are rested in 4 hours. Does the Trance trait allow an elf to finish a long rest in4 hours? If an elf meditates during a long rest (as describedin the Trance trait), the elf finishes the rest after only 4hours. A...

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    An elf has two options. 1) He can sleep like everyone else. 2) He can enter a Trance and get a long rest in 4 hours.

    New Errata & Sage Advice Compendium (Sleep & Trance Are Fixed!)

    No that is not what the new sage advice says at all. New Rule Does the Trance trait allow an elf to finish a long rest in 4 hours? If an elf meditates during a long rest (as described in the Trance trait), the elf finishes the rest after only 4 hours. A meditating elf otherwise follows all the...

    Dresden Files Accelerated does use those rules. Dresden Files RPG did have very complicated magical rules, DFA does not. It captures all of the feel with none of the complexity. Attack Player: I create a massive jet of flame to burn the ghoul! GM: Roll the dice and add your forceful approach...

    Have you read the Fate accelerated rules? It does not get simpler than that? Four possible actions. Four results for each. Very simple rules that open the world of opportunities...

    Can't wait for my Physical Copy of Dresden files to arrive. Snail Mail hosed me and apparently it took a slow boat from Indiana to California. Been running it via the PDF for the longest time, but it will be nice to have a handy book at the table.

    EN5ider Turns 150 With Ari Marmell's TIDES OF BATTLE - Cinematic Stunts for 5E!

    I like this implementation of stunts. I had tried my own a while back and with little success (too complicated). On the surface I would like to choose to do a stunt before I roll, but I think this method keeps it simple and helps speed up play. If everyone keeps contemplating stunts every turn...

    Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, John Rogers, and Ryan Macklin Play FATE CORE!

    In FATE they do have weapon damage so yes attacking with a longsword will do more than attacking with your fist. So that is an option, as do why someone wants to do it. Most likely it is because that is how they envision the situation. Perhaps they are already grappled and the idea of using a...
