    D&D 5E (2014) So this is how D&D 5e dies, a beautiful start only to die in disgrace because of mismanagement. RIP 5e

    I doubt this will be D&D's death knell, but hopefully they will take such a hit that they don't think they can act with impunity anymore. It's a great example why you can't trust the 800 lbs gorilla in the room.

    Almost every fantasy show is trying to be D&D or Game of Thrones

    I couldn't make it through 20 minutes of the new Witcher series. Never finished the books, but I didn't realize that 1,000 years prior Elven culture was indistinguishable from human culture of Geralt's time. Just hanging out in taverns with beer wenches must be the unifying thread of all fantasy.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric and Species playtest survey is live.

    Intimidation should be about more than threatening someone with immediate physical violence. It's demanding to see a soldier's commander, blackmailing a guild official, and telling an experienced pit fighter to take a dive. It's not just cracking knuckles and flexing; that's why a human can...

    D&D General Why are we fighting?

    I was simply using the morale rules from Basic which checks after the first one is killed, then at 50%. But since we are talking about 18 orcs using the same CR, then we can just say the one killed in my example was the leader.

    D&D General Why are we fighting?

    Ok, just pulling the example from Kobold Fight Club... If you plan a deadly encounter (18 orcs) for a 4 person party of 8th level characters and they flee after the first is killed, does that still count as a deadly encounter?

    D&D General Why are we fighting?

    Doesn't the 5e model rely on 6-8 combats per long rest to drain resources so the last fights (vs the Boss) are dangerous? If combats end when 25% of the enemies are defeated or a single monster takes 50% damage, won't that just leave the party mostly fresh when they get to the final dungeon...
