    D&D 5E (2024) Using Action Surge to cast spells in 2024

    It sounds like a really strange behaviour to reward.

    Witcher change up?

    Many cool things in series 3 that still make it worth watching. The Thanned Coup in particular. Seeing Tissaia cast Alzur’s Thunderbolt was pretty boss. I don’t get the criticism of Geralt not getting enough screen time. The story has always been Ciri’s as well. Books and games. Looking...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using Action Surge to cast spells in 2024

    Why would you think that readying an action to cast a spell would be fundamentally different to casting the spell? Surely the only difference is when it takes effect?

    D&D General Forgotten Realms - why do you still like running games here? +

    1. Why It’s a high magic setting that has really well established setting structures - areas, gods, magic system, organisations. These are well detailed and supported, with tons of ideas for inspiration. 2. How do you approach the setting (everything is in, stick to one edition, gray box only...

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    For what it’s worth, I really got into Sea of Thieves at the first half of this year. The combat is ferocious, particularly if you’re in a two man sloop.

    Wow I didn’t realize they weren’t. That is some cunning stuff right there.

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    On a side note, I think the bastion rules would be an awesome way to run a pirate ship long term. Use bastion orders to cover things like shoreleave, making repairs, pirating the seas and abstract all that stuff. Use random events to cover things like freak weather, damage to the ship...

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    8,000 pages of reading. I see you have mentioned this before in other posts. You’re obviously very proud of it. There are plenty of us who have consumed the wide range of fiction, read up on the history and immersed ourselves in the genre beyond Disney. I never counted the pages though. We still...

    D&D General Homebrew or Premade Campaigns?

    Premade campaigns. My ideal is a mashup of multiple similarly themed campaigns to give more options and paths to explore. If d rather focus on bringing an existing world to life rather than coming up with the details or winging it.

    A Deep Dive in D&D: Dragon Delves

    You mean it isn’t a requirement of a long rest for a character to have rumpy pumpy with at least one other character for it to restore Hp and abilities?

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    I don’t know what do you mean by random difficulty curve? Regarding ranges it is assumed that the pirates range outside of the shackles, and if they want to go pirate then they tackle merchant ships. Your own ship is a Rahadoumi merchantman taking by the Wormwood in the first ship combat. That...

    Tariffs: 'De Minimis' Exemption Ended, Affects Individual Game Orders Entering US

    I’m very sorry to hear this. Irrespective of the ripple effects and direct issues for those that didn’t ask for it there are a lot of people out there gonna realise that… “When the Gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.”

    D&D 5E (2014) Skyrim supplement for D&D 5e

    Strong bit of necromancy here. Crazy to see how many of these folks aren’t with us any more. 😮‍💨

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Lovely to hear from you! I was and still am a massive fan of the prism Pentad. Reading and listening to them many times over the years. It’s both a great story and it brought Dark Sun alive for me much more than the boxed set, and as I came to the setting with the revised edition I wasn’t...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there an adventure for this map?

    Well done. I actually ran that adventure in 1e Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay aged 16 and one of my most vivid memories in gaming from that time (30 years ago) was my brother’s Trollslayer leaping from the high peak onto one of the gargoyles. The fall killed the gargoyle… the slayer survived of...

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    I’ve enjoyed a couple of Pirate campaigns. I was a player in @GuyBoy ’s Razor coast campaign that ran to conclusion. Level 1-11 IIRC in Pathfinder 1e. He ran it in a magical analogue of real world Caribbean and it was a lot of fun. Lots of exploration, some ship combat, interesting captains...

    In case it is of interest… a list of modules from numerous sources. Courtesy of Reddit and the adventure database ARCH WOOD "Secrets of the Arch Wood" (Dungeon #121) - level 13, 14 pages, 3e. CORMANTHOR FOREST (GENERALLY) "Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor" (module) - level 6, 99...

    Sembian and Zhent Guilds Churches of Lathander, Oghma, Tyr, Tempus, Bane, Chauntea, Mystra Elminster, Colderan, Rhauntides… the odd Red Wizard Mercenary Bands and fledgeling dales You could definitely model this with Birthright. A number of clear adventures could ensure … recover the pendant of...
