    D&D 5E (2014) When you've made the battle too much to handle...

    This. Have the lich send the party after one of its enemies--one of the powerful beings that they didn't ally with. You've probably already got them statted out, and their part of the dungeon mapped, right?

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Congratulations on getting to play in person. I have run Whispering Cairn and really like it. Did they explore it all?

    It's pronounced "drow."

    I own this and love it. The PDF is still available: Ultimate Toolbox - Alderac Entertainment Group | DriveThruRPG.com

    D&D General How do you like your character sheets?

    Same. Auto-calculate for the win. It makes levelling up so much easier.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Heh. I love the Banewarrens. It may be my favorite published dungeon ever. It has a good variety of monsters and puzzles, interesting NPC's to interrupt a simple delve, and a clever overall premise. I hope it goes well for you and your players.

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rule Idea: Exploding Weapon Dice

    Not quite. Subsequent rolls subtract one from the total--but can still "explode" if you roll the maximum on the die. So an exploding d4 does an extra 1-3 damage... unless it explodes again.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e really that different?

    It's 2E without THAC0. ;)

    D&D General Top 3-5 articles you would recommend for a new DM

    Yeah. He's educational and entertaining. I came here to mention several articles and blogs which have all already been mentioned: Angry GM; Sly Flourish; Matt Colville; Three Clue Rule; PowerScoreRPG Blog. The fact that they've already been recommended makes me proud of this site and its...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e really that different?

    Because... nudity? I don't know; it's been many years since I ran 1E. 😁 On a slightly more serious note, I would say it's because 1E wasn't really playtested.

    D&D General When Did Counterspell First Appear?

    This sounds like 3E to me. Is that correct? I made an NPC assistant to a BBEG who specialized in Counterspelling in 3.5E. No NPC was ever hated more or had his corpse more desecrated by "Good" PC's. Ah, good times. 😁

    AD&D 2E I don't own any Planescape. What interesting things did it do with Tanar'ri?

    Faces of Evil: The Fiends might be exactly what you're looking for. :devilish:

    AD&D weapon speed vs 5e turn based combat?

    Hmmm.... I don't actually recall. I tried to do "everything" by the book and expressly didn't have House Rules™ but maybe I misread something. By the time we started using Weapon Speed Factors, I was the only regular DM still running--so I didn't have another DM around to tell me "This is not...

    AD&D weapon speed vs 5e turn based combat?

    No. Per 2E DMG if I recall correctly. We were teenagers; we followed all the rules.

    AD&D weapon speed vs 5e turn based combat?

    Initiative was a d10. If you rolled over a ten (die roll plus weapon speed) you didn't get to go in the current round; your total rolled over. But "natural weapons" from most monsters, had a Speed Factor of plus zero. That meant most monsters attacked more often than PC's. My players really...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want & expect to see in 2024's 5.5e?

    I didn't know that I wanted most of these things until now. Are "koboldborn" as a D&D race discussed anywhere?
