    D&D 5E (2014) Bow vs. Crossbow

    I seem to remember that cross bows were great for the relatively untrained but as you got to the more highly trained bowmen bows could be fired much quicker.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cross-classing Subclasses and Multiple subclasses

    Yeah, there seemed to be loads of ‘barbarian X’ across the books. The complete fighter was brilliant: the others less so.

    D&D General How To Reconcile the Settings

    When I used to run a home brew Midkemia campaign we only had humans, elves and dwarves and gnomes (re skinned as another type of dwarf). That worked okay

    His Dark Materials (tv)

    I really like the show. And I like the English brevity. Can’t imagine it being stretched out over 24 episodes. I do hope it makes a better fist of the battle in Geaven than the books did.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cross-classing Subclasses and Multiple subclasses

    This seems a bit like kits in 2nd ed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter difficulty: how to fix it.

    That seems like a lot of hard work. What I do is ask if the attack routine will kill the tank in four rounds and can it render powerless party members. Given all that, if the dpr guys can’t kill it in four rounds it’s probably too tough. That’s seen me right for ages.

    D&D General How has flying affected your games?

    I ran a game with a PC being an Aaracocra ranger (who could fly). The big thing it did was make the party able to plan for the encounter. I can’t remember there being any issues and we played for about a year. It was a Dark Sun game.

    What do you want to do better as a GM?

    My metric is: how many laughs do I get. My games are Sir Pratchet via Rick and Morty so for me it’s all about how much fun my players have. So I go all in with accents, tropes and the effectiveness of being genre savvy

    What's Your Favorite System for Star Wars

    SAGA was really good. I made a decent fist of balancing Jedi. Obviously it failed at that particular issue but it was great if you didn’t have Jedi.

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    Yeah, but we’ve known each other for decades so it’s the cost of doing business 🤷‍♂️

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighting Style for Melee Knife/Dagger Use

    I made up a feat that lets a dagger wielder do 2d4. Seemed okay.

    D&D 5E (2014) Armor house rule

    Every time I start thing about this I end up thinking about an armour save with the DC as the damage dealt and the Save bonus scaled to the normal AC -5 (or what ever you feel is right for armour in your game. So if you get hit by a great sword for 11 damage and the wear plate armour (+8) your...

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    One of my guys still gets huffy when I have to again tell her she has disadvantage if she uses her long bow in melee or will take an OA if she does not use the disengage action after over a year of being an archery ranger 😫
