Yeah, I was listening to the music while I typed up my post. Then I went and watched the "Into Darkness" Blooper Reel it linked to. And down the rabbit hole I went... several hours later, I escaped from youtube. ;)

Beep, beep. Doctor Emma Sanduine tilted her head with a speculative look on her face. The whole dragon attack and the collapse of civilization had struck her differently than most people. She had spent all her days digging in the dirt, uncovering the stories of past massacres and apocalpyses...

It's one of the options on the 'Wandering Harlot Results' table. In a game set in a series of caves beneath a town, my PCs fought a band of orcs, who they handily slaughtered. One of them stepped in the bear-trap the fighter had set, and it took off his leg! They forced him to surrender, and...

I love the art for these rings. The ring of spell-storing in particular is a very cool design; a two-finger ring! Why didn't I ever think of that?

I just want to salute you for passing on the gift of D&D. :)

I'm one of those folks who usually DMs. And while I've been in one or two forum D&D games, I'm not quite at the point where I feel I could run one. I tried once, a while back on the WotC boards, and the game kinda fizzled out after a couple weeks. Once I get a handle on this by playing a game...

Alright, I have a concept to pitch. 32 year old female Background in Historical Theory and Archaeology (Scientist background, historian specialty) --- 9 Strength 16 Dexterity 14 Constitution 16 Intelligence 9 Wisdom 14 Charisma (+1 to all stats from human race is included) --- All her life...

Aside from the jab at the action economy (I'm a fan of the less-structured format of 5th Edition), this is spot on. I have three PCs with lucky across three games, and this is how I run it. The feat feels perfectly balanced, in that it almost always comes up in a key situation, but it doesn't...

Thanks guys! I'm not immune to laziness myself. While I've had a pretty good rough idea of what the lich's dungeon looks like, the map on the left was sketched about an hour before the session. Notably, I had to finish the left part of it during a break in play. I doodled the one on the...

While we're boasting about our campaigns, I'll show off this evening's work. I'm putting together the second level of the dungeon from last week. So the top level (left) is what my PCs explored, and now they're at the top of that curving stairway. The sheet on the right is level two. The...

Admittedly, that does sound rather awesome. I'm excited to hear about the gnolls when you get to it, though. A session I ran for my 11th level group saw them fight a band of bullywugs. Five 11th level PCs (and their enfranchised orc slave-turned-bodyguard-turned-friend) took on 30 bullywugs...

On the topic of character, what sort of tone are you looking to set for the game? Are we going for gritty / serious? More light / fantastical? Is this a journey of discovery, or a survival horror game?

This is an incredibly cool concept. I'd love to pitch a character. I have a couple of ideas percolating... Also, I swear I'm not stalking your games. :p

Looks like your two latecomers are in. I have a character ready to go if anyone drops though. :) Have fun!

If that's the intent of the feat, it's pretty weak compared to the others. It's only useful for people using a hand crossbow and firing it twice. Or for a class using primarily crossbows and gaining the extra attack feature. I think the intent is to make using an off-hand crossbow a viable...

The player who put Durbag together is definitely more interested in RP than min/maxing. Since he was starting the character at 13th level (to replace a captured PC, who they later rescued), he had the chance to start with some magic items. He opted for a Headband of Intellect to give himself...

The half-orc wizard in my 14th level game routinely tears it up. It was his efforts that let the party scry an ancient black dragon and its rider, teleport onto the dragon's back, and disintegrate the rider in their surprise round. Then he used fly to get to safety while plummeting through the...
