Okay. Feel free to. You have a lot of company. Let's see if we have more common ground in the details: What exactly are you concerned about?

Team Lake Svetlana was made a telepathic guestimate of five to ten minutes on repeating her scouting. Guldred had overheard Aywin suggest that the group abandon the lakes for using the teleporter, and he began to object, reminding Shade-9 that he'd hoped for aid in exchange for his information...

Team Infiltrate The card table held everyone's attention as Copper and Lorent worked together to slip cards to the player who seemed to be the least-liked cultist playing. This player constantly complained, even when he was winning, and seemed none the wiser when his 'luck' changed, as if it...

Team Caves Shamal danced and told his story. The kobolds shrieked and cheered where appropriate. Every one of them seemed to appreciate when Shamal gave them individual attention, as if they were very surprised that someone so lofty and important would cast his gaze upon them. His performance...

It's a trick I hadn't thought of, but it seems to work. A warlock can save their slots until just before a short rest, then blow them on spells with an 8-hour+ duration, leaving them with all their spell slots and 7-hours+ left on those spells.

Oh! One more: 4) I started this game keeping track of time, which I've never done before to quite the same extent. I discovered one problem when it comes to this particular game when it comes to time: If you run into each other, you might be at different time-stamps. I think that I will keep...

A little meta discussion: 1) The groups all being in one thread is working for me. It's a bit chaotic, but it keeps everything in one place, which I think saves me some time. I'm open to contrary opinions if anyone doesn't like it. 2) I'm trying to give all the groups as close as I can to...

Happy Birthday! Have a good weekend.

Stratus volunteered to lead the way, but was willing to let Caer step slightly before him, knowing that he had the reach to protect his allies, should they become surrounded. When everyone was ready, he pulled the lever and allowed Caer to step through first, before ducking under the doorframe...

Yes. Yes, it is. And you are talking to someone who prefers low-magic, and can't stand it when D&D seems to need things to be magical to do great things - even things that people can actually do IRL. For example, in 4e there was a magical axe, whose great "magic power" was that once per...

I did see that, but I forgot to put it in my post. If I forget again, I'll tell you here: There is an iron loop of keys on Rowlow's belt - he's the mercenary in charge of the storeroom (though he's shirking a little, in that he hasn't even bothered to watch you unload or inventory anything -...

Copper can do the Sleight-of-Hand, but SOMEONE has to do some kind of card-switching, or I'm not sure how you're cheating at cards.

Team Caves The kobolds gathered in the largest chamber to celebrate their new heroes, who would restore their status with their dragon. They came from everywhere, every tent, hole, and crack. There was over a hundred of them, though only a relative handful seemed like they would at all be...

Stratus is updated to L3.

Your solution is pretty much how I do it in my home games. Were it up to me, both the sleight-of-hand skill and the performance skill wouldn't exist as skills, but be part of the subset of specialty skills that usually use tools (though obviously not always) with names that I've used on my...

I took those as for joining the game without giving anything away. Sorry, where do we have the rolls? You didn't seem to post any on my end. Are you posting them to the IC?

That sounds right to me. Does someone want to post an IC to that effect, or just give me some rolls? (I've been getting my wife to roll for everyone lately when I feel that a roll is "missing" rather than wasting time asking for it and waiting for a reply). I could do that, too and push the...

Team Lake Aywin made the appropriate incantations, and Svetlana appeared in front of him, visible for a moment as she rejoined the physical world. She explained, out loud so that the others could hear her report without having to wait for Aywin to repeat it, "Well, yeah. It's a transporter. It...

Sure, but it occurs to me that you don't have to cast Find Familiar. You can dismiss her to a pocket dimension as a Magic Action and then return her to a space within 30ft of you as another Magic Action. RAW lists no limit on where she needs to be relative to you when you dismiss her. It'll save...

There's some confusion in 2024 - pieces of the rules seem to be written with the idea that the Xanathar's Guide method of tool proficiency giving advantage on skill checks whenever both might apply (IE, you'd get Advantage on Deception checks to bluff while playing cards, if you have card...
