Funnily enough I used that map for my Age of Worms campaign which fit Daggerford pefectly. It’s a great shout to mention it, and exactly what I was thinking! Thanks.

I would love to have a Faerun map product of Mike’s quality but that could be expanded to give more detail on a specific area. In the same way google maps adds more detail the more you zoom in. So maybe a continent wide map just marks the Dalelands and maybe Shadowdale. A Dalelands wide map...

We should be able to laugh emoji and heart emoji a post!

Actually changed my mind. I’ll bite. You're clearly invested in this topic, but you're coming at my post like it's some kind of naïve shrug at causality, which it absolutely wasn't. When I said “it just happens,” I wasn’t suggesting the universe rolls dice and games magically fail. I was...

The 3e scenario where PCs would hack at a regenerating creature’s corpse repeatedly to keep it in negative hp and counter the regeneration was really silly and immersion breaking. I much prefer the fact that the tarrasque can be killed but then reawakens somewhere else. It fits the tarrasque as...

I think you’re forgetting that in 5e NPCs and Monsters don’t follow PC construction rules. There are foes that can cast multiple leveled spells in a round and that bypass restrictions that players have for balance reasons. Where there is space for interpretation the DM should absolutely be...

Honestly, your certainty doesn’t leave much room for discussion. I don’t need to approach conversation like a boxing match anymore. Enjoy

What I don’t share is the general sense of pessimism. Great games can come from small studios or large ones. I’ve seen a great franchise be wrecked by the same studio that made the first two installments. Larrian keeping it is no guarantee of success either. Game franchises come and go, some...

Drag and drop 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hang on there. This isn’t being used on a party member or an ally. The OP set the premise that this was the big boss fight of a campaign against a ghost possessed dragon. Hence in my opinion it being reasonable to expect an attack roll or a saving throw. No one I’ve seen thinks that you should...

Very good reviews of the two systems I’ve used extensively (Roll20 and Foundry). I won’t comment on the systems I’ve not used. I kinda feel that Roll20 is the way in if you play D&D and then Foundry is the system once you familiarize yourself with VTT. [Unless you play WFRP, in which case just...

Could the same argument not be said about BG1. Same with BG2. If this opinion carried the day then we would never have seen BG3. We don’t know what might come down the line. For me Bg4 doesn’t have to be better. It just has to be a good enjoyable game.

I also like the template. I’m converting some tropical diseases from Lustria book for WFRP4e into D&D for Tomb of Annihilation.

So I guess that fits with what I’ve said. A small handful of corner case spells that have very small damage compared to other spells of their level. Or in several of these cases very specific circumstances where they are useful. You’re not going to make a basic principle of magic on Magic...

The new tarrasque is an absolute beast. Thunderous bellow and the full suite of powers it has is truly terrifying. It’s worth saying the tarrasque has been changed so that instead of regenerating from a speck of flesh a new tarrasque now awakens somewhere else in the world. There are many...

Which ones? I think it’s hard to discuss these things in an abstract sense. Is this a single corner case spell or a common occurance? This is why I also asked @ECMO3 for his examples. My general principle is that offensive effects unless very minor and/or very costly should offer a save or...

You’re the DM you can rule it how you like. I just made it clear how I would improvise touching a creature that doesn’t want to be touched. Banishment and lightning bolts have saves to avoid/resist. As other people have been said the touch spells that don’t require attack rolls or saving throws...

Confidence I think more than everything else. Plus as you say, familiarity means that you can really enjoy the details and allow the players to indulge in the experience. Also as a general rule the five adventures that make up the campaign can be tackled in many different ways depending on...

Ok, so I will present two options. If you play on Foundry then you should absolutely go with 4th edition WFRP released by Cubicle 7. It is massively supported and automated. The modules are extremely cost effective and contain all the rules within the modules. The core foundry will set you back...

Yeah. So wise. A lot of that comes from Pratchett who had a way of seeing the work in an extremely practical but funny way. A quote from Equal Rites I just read… “She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to...
