I really like them. I’ve had players make a history constitution check to do a bit of archeological digging and then an intelligence history check to date the bracers he found then a charisma history check to sell them to a collector. I think of it like the Story Teller system’s abilities +...

I track turns for random encounters in dungeons.

It’s worked for my campaign. I also let them buy specific things that don’t get destroyed in the process and use the pouch for things like rare herbs or inks etc.

Yep

I always have an end in mind when I plan a campaign. But I also have a back door in case the players want to keep going. But typically by that time they want something new.

Probably an age thing.

Dunno. I’m the DM. Haven’t been a pc is years.

My players are all mid to late 40s so we rarely playing anything more exotic than a halfling or orc. I’ve never had to ban anything.

As a DM I often rely on one of my player’s knowledge of the rules to help me out. As the great actor once said “I was elected to lead, not elected to read”.

I dunno. Surely everyone knows that playing D&D means you might die and have to sit out the game? Why’s that such a ball ache?

Maybe this guy is missing the ‘enjoy time with you mates’ part of D&D?

I dunno. When I read fantasy novels it’s very rare that the protagonists are a small group of amazingly competent individuals who work as part of well oiled unit. Unless it’s for the Worf Effect to happen and the real ragtag heroes bumble along and pull a Rocky.

If I homebrew something it has to be the way it fits with my imagination. If their are no Dragonborn in that world I just deved up then no one gets to play them.

We are all on Google hangout (or whatever it’s called these days). The players tell me where they want there characters to go or attack etc and I do all the measuring. I draw the scenery on with marker pens and rub it out when they move on the the next bit. Makes all the positioning...

I dunno. I DM online and bought a big magnetic white board. I have the little 4th Ed monster tiles and a bunch of those dinky little magnets I blu tack to them.

What happened to Out of the Abyss?

What? What do you hope to gain from this?

I really like this. I shall yoink it from you. And maybe modify it by monster Dex.

I like having a mix. My party tends to have two short rests between long rests. This is at 4th level so it work out well to have a mix, rather than one or another.

I'm lucky. Any mistake I make was totally planned in advance.
