Read simplest as the one that is least likely to break your game! That would be the potion of speed for a monk that is already getting many light attacks and is already pretty fast. The AC boost will be very nice for the monk but nothing as bad as adding an extra +5 above the maximum to every...

Curse of the Crimson Throne would be my recommendation. It’s an excellent campaign for starters with some really interesting elements and a great premise Great adventure locations A very strong theme Cool long term NPCs A good balance of mystery/investigation and combat. I’ve been a player...

We’ve been running Undermountain on VTT and we have set it so the players only see what they can currently see. One player is taking a great little map on a side screen as he goes to stop them getting lost. I think it’s a great way of playing the dungeon crawl that keep it feeling like the...

Perrin Matt Elaine Nyneave Lan Thom Ruarc Tam Lanfear Ishmael Siuan Morraine. These don’t feel like difficult names.

I think the Witcher books by Sapkowski have some of the best names in fantasy. They are generally phonetically written and promounced as they read. They don’t require mangled syllables or ridiculous silent letters. Lots of them roll off the tongue and quite often the names say a little about the...

Chris P inspired me to make the switch from Pathfinder to 5e with Curse of Strahd. Never looked back.

For what it’s worth I think this is a mistake. You might feel that you taking on the cost of tariffs is helping your business but when all their other household costs go up in price they’re still going to cut luxury products first whether your products cost $25 or $30. Right now everybody knows...

The magazine article reads like ‘WotC Haters Greatest Hits 2025’. He manages to squeeze in every complaint from the last five years. Lazy hatchet job.

I shall be imposing a 10% XP penalty on all US players in my online games as retaliation for the retaliation.

One thing I like about adaptions is how they can bring things to life. Tanchico is great. Making everyone there scouse is inspired. It’s like a bizarre cross of New Orleans, Totuga and Liverpool.

What anyone? I’m only allowed to poke fun at fans of modern D&D? What about people who have never played D&D like my neighbor or my dad? Can I poke fun at them? 😉

Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode. Having a feeling we will be seeing something very big in the white tower.

Worth checking out the previous two sequels to the original Rise of the Runelords. Shattered Star involves tracking down the relics of the Runelords and the parts of a legendary runelord artefact. Return of the Runelords deals with the re-awakening of the surviving Runelords and their various...

I’m a fan of three TV shows I would consider guilty pleasures. Traitors Fortune Hotel Tempting Fortunes. All three programs about people put in uncertain situations.

It’s giving me Rappan Athuk vibes!

Novelty. That’s the problem with APs. They are amazing at first but 50 room/20 combat locations tend to drag when repeated as nauseum.

Interesting, I almost never use it but now I think about it, it’s a very flexible spell.

So the question isn’t ’what Is the best Concentration spell?’ It’s about what you usually cast. In combat? It’s going to depend on level and class. But what do you find yourself going back to time and time again. For me, I find Haste and at higher levels Bigby’s Hand. Haste because it is such...

I also like the fact that it didn’t distinguish colour so you couldn’t use it to read.
