    D&D General Does a campaign world need to exist beyond what the characters interact with?

    That’s pretty much how I do mine. I throw a bunch of hooks at my PCs and any they follow up become important: the rest evaporate. Keeps me on my toes and saves me a lot of head space.

    UK time zone Zoom-based A5E game

    That time would work great for me. I'm in the UK and a forever DM so being able to play would be great.

    Disconnect Between Designer's Intent and Player Intepretation

    D&D General "I have Played in or Run a Campaign Set in the Forgotten Realms" (a poll)

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the imbalance between classes in 5e accidental or by design?

    Well they obviously had a stab at it when compared with 3.5 but shied away from the one size fits all of 4E. The actual internal drivers of what made them settle on 5E are probably multi factorial. They reined in pure spell casters and boosted the relative power levels of martials to some...

    D&D 5E (2024) IF you're allowing a PC to roll, WHEN does autosuccess matter?
