    D&D 5E (2014) (+) What would you want for 5e Dark Sun?

    The Weave is not a thing in Dark Sun. psionics are not magic and magic is not psionics. The Will and the Way have nothing to do with the Weave.

    D&D 5E (2014) (+) What would you want for 5e Dark Sun?

    That’s not correct. The other worlds exist but the Grey impedes most ways to get out of Athas. You could Spelljam to Krynn in theory but the Athasian Crystal Sphere is huge and chock full of Wildspace monstrosities that could easily devour a Spelljammer. Dregoth routinely used the Planar Gate...

    I always just said that nearly all people were brown. Melting pot and all.

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    I’m a forever DM and in my experience if you have a world you play in for years and years people end up caring. If the campaign world changes each campaign they don’t really care about it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you enter the Dungeon Master Challenge?

    I just spent far too long trying to tap ‘As’.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help me balance encounters for Magic Items and Feats

    I eyeball it by having encounters with a mix of few monsters that can down the toughest single PC in three rounds if it hits with every attack or many monsters that the tank can down in two rounds if it hits with every attack. That’s worked for me for years.

    I would totally say no.

    D&D General 1991 Dark Sun Setting Overview and Speculation

    It seemed as if the boundaries of reality were breaking down in remote areas. Other realities would bleed into the world as it had just become old, tatty and tired. ‘Thinies’ where worlds would overlap (like the elemental planes) would intrude into the prime plane would exist.

    D&D General 1991 Dark Sun Setting Overview and Speculation

    I’ve always thought of Athas as a world that has ‘moved on’ (like off of Stephen King). For my games distances change and time goes a bit wonky out in the wastes.

    Can relate. Have stammer.

    D&D General What DM-skills are you bad at?

    Describing things in the environment. I almost always have to draw any area they are in. Flavour text for areas is a god send for me.

    Retro Gaming (PC/Consoles)

    I got it on switch but I think it’s in Steam and consoles. It’s really good.

    Retro Gaming (PC/Consoles)

    Streets of Rage 4 is very good.

    I used to hang around on them. Didn’t Jon Green used to post on them?

    Did you used to be on the old FF website in the mid 2010s?

    Justice League: So, who's seen the Snyder Cut?

    I saw it. I really liked it. I like Snyder films for their epic spectacle and the DC universe fits the bill (for me). I’m not the biggest DC reader so if the characters did not exactly match the comics I did not really notice or get hot and bothered about it. I thought it was a perfect 8.2/10.

    D&D 5E (2014) Healing and resting variants

    I now use five minute short rests with normal long rests but DM has to okay long rests.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with optimizers at the table

    One of my guys loves coming up with combos that are pretty sweet. I recycle them back into the game to be used against him (and the rest of the party).

    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Prefer Sandbox or Party Level Areas In Your Game World?

    I very much prefer a levelled approach with a definite plot to the adventure. My players hate not having a definite direction to go in and very much prefer a time line that will carry on without them.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Would You Do?

    Can’t help thinking when you asked him if he could make a character in 30 mins he took that as ‘30 mins from now’.
