    D&D 5E (2024) OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord

    What's the problem with this one? edit: Ah, a quick search provided me with Poltergeist, Witchcraft or Hoax: The Witch of Scrapfaggot Green – #FolkloreThursday Ugh. We saw from The Elusive Shift that there were some enlightened mentalities around TTRPGs in the early days... and then there were...

    Yeah. Definitely waiting to see what word comes from Goodman, though.

    On This May The 4th, Let's Celebrate Star Wars TTRPGs. +

    Star Wars Saga Edition was my longest experience with a Star Wars TTRPG. I think I played a little bit of the WEG version, and some Edge of the Empire, but Saga happened to be what I sunk my teeth into.

    D&D 5E (2024) Variant Human idea

    I definitely think this idea came up in a different thread, someone was redoing species traits maybe? It's an interesting idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) To Be or Not to Be: Legendary

    The bolded bothers me.. I guess it's just part of the "there's no real risk involved in this fight" mentality. Not your fault, it's nothing new... I think it's why I like higher damage. That's one thing Mearls mentioned about increasing damage/lowering HP.. it definitely made his players more...

    D&D 5E (2014) To Be or Not to Be: Legendary

    I like the heavier hits a lot more ... 20-something damage from an ancient dragon hit seems so minor, even if there are many of them... that thing should hit like a truck, not death-by-a-thousand-cuts. PCs at that level have, what, ~150hp? But I guess that could be a simulationist mentality...

    Damn, talk about a jaw-dropper. Hitting nostalgia hard.

    D&D 5E (2024) I attack the darkness!

    AFAIK unless the unseen creature is actively hiding via their action (or bonus etc), they still make sound which is enough to tell others roughly where they are. This was the case in 5e14 at least, I'm not sure if they altered it in 5e24.

    D&D 5E (2024) Sage Advice Compendium Updated To 2024

    I'm confused 😅 It would require a change to alter the way things are now. That means a lot of things for the designers, among them: Agreeing/admitting that the current rules are unsatisfactory. Accepting that they need to be changed. (If changing them back to the old ones) Admitting that the old...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    I'm thinking of starting a Borderlands game soon, it's a shame that this is so far away.. I'm not confident that every WotC product will be worthwhile, but I can't help but be curious.

    D&D 5E (2024) Sage Advice Compendium Updated To 2024

    Agreed, but that'd probably require more of a change than the folks that make those decisions would be comfortable with. Then again, with Crawford departing that means that the folk (sort of) taking over might be willing to make those changes to put their own spin on things.

    What Does the RPG Hobby Need Now?

    A lot of DCC adventures can be run with little to no prep. I'm often amazed at what a joy they are to run and how easily they flow.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    Primal wasn't a thing in the original 4e PHB, so they were martials. But in later books, when they introduced other power sources and revisited classes, the ranger got primal options.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    Slight correction, Wildborn are 1/3 casters.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    Honestly Level Up A5E almost swings the divide the other way, which is saying something. In most encounters levels 5-10, I am more worried about what the fighter or berserker can do than what spells the casters can bring to bear 😅 It's only in tier 3 that the casters start to gain a bit of...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Presentation matters; it's part of design. You could be an outlier, or not- lots of folk will say "just give me the text, it doesn't have to be pretty!" buuut that tends not to be the reality, despite what they think they want. Ofc AI art can translate a vibe just fine, which is often what...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    I'd rather have sketch art than AI. I don't know how much weight one (or a dozen) voices should have here, over however many folks you get from social media etc, but I really avoid AI art stuff in products when possible. I've said the same to a couple patreon mapmakers that have used midjourney...
