    D&D 5E (2014) concentration in 5th edition, whats my fix?

    I think concentration is necessary but the number and type of the lower level spells that require concentration is just over the top. Dancing lights shouldnt require concentration. Either remove the requirement for some lower level spells or, rather than upcasting spells, id rather give the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Who is Matthew Colville?

    Its a seriously impressive amount of dough. At this rate he will be able to build an actual castle.

    D&D 5E (2014) King (for a day) of the Monsters: Rot Grub Swarm

    "My players had prisoners who escaped from them set a trap that included the body of one of the former players hanging from a tree". Man, that is a dark entry to a post! Why didnt the grubs consume the body, do they only eat living flesh?

    D&D 5E (2014) Your very first TPK?

    I remember having a high level 1e TPK in Q1 Queen of the Demonweb pits. From memory it was in a room with Drow spell casters on Pyramids/raised platforms. We had been ploughing through Drow for sometime in the preceeding D1-3 adventures and were somewhat over confident and charged in and it went...

    D&D 5E (2014) What if a shambling mound ate a little girl...

    My experience with little girls is that they never, ever eat their greens. If it was a shambling mound of fries on the other hand...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you define the current edition of D&D rules-light or rules-heavy?

    For me, it comes down to preferences and experiences with regards to how significantly the rules affect play rather than page counts etc. I dont feel that 5e rules are any where near as mechanically crunchy or as impactful as in 4e (especially how complicated monsters and powers in 4e are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Poll

    More specifically I find the thread interesting in terms of things like the name generator, PC origins and the minor magic items not being useful to some people. They are not things my table is crying out for. But I equally get it (thanks to this thread) that these would be super useful for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Poll

    I am here to learn a bit more about the book/game/hobby and I like the cut and thrust of criticism and forthright commentary. I have had limited time with the book in question. The fact that 80% of the poll thinks the book is great, but logically doesn't automatically mean that I have to/am...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Poll

    I guess my point is that I dont see how questioning the utility of a product equates with misery or unhappiness with game, or the world. I am glad that the product has widespread appeal but I cant see how the comments here saying they disliked it are mindlessly negative or denigrating it. I come...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Poll

    Sure, but isnt it really the case we should consider people giving opinions with reasons as being more valuable and useful to the community than a click on the poll?

    Fourward Path

    Good question! At this point I would start by reworking 5e with some of the elements of 4e that I think are crucial for my dream RPG. A few things are important to me: 1) I think 5e takes way too long for players to build their character, so I think every class should get a bonus feat at 1st...

    D&D 5E (2014) Transporting LMoP into Nentir Vale

    Why not start at Fallcrest and turn winterhaven into Phandlin (sp)? And thereby make the hideout near the KIngs road in the forest where the Kobold place was.

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    Yeah. I am struck by the contrast of the prequels and sequels. They prequels were defined by very poor acting but excellent world/universe building but the sequels (for me) where defined by great acting but a really unclear universe. I didn't like the TLJ at all but I couldnt miss the charisma...

    Han Solo movie incoming....

    Yeah, I think this is my attitude despite my rapidly collapsing faith in the Star Wars gate keepers after the Last Jedi. I thought Rogue One was great because while you knew how it was going to end, there was so many good characters and good moments which made sense in respect to the New Hope...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    My take on Luke is that his whole character arc of the the original series is from hot headed whiny farm boy to jedi knight. That is the whole point/core of that series for me. So I see some tension between The Return if the Jedi Luke and the Last Jedi Luke that needed far more explanation. I...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    Because Hero's come back? Luke cut himself off from the force, he had no idea what was happening but after Rey came to him and even after using the hologram he still moaned. And aside from the deviations from his character in the original series, it set up a problem for most of the Last Jedi...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    I thought that the Last Jedi was a mess. I knew the end of luke skywalker's story was coming - and I wanted it to come to end - but it was done in such clumsy, wishy washy fashion which contradicted the original stories. That is Luke is now a coward who finally decides to skype in, Leia who...

    This is an option - (I saw this image on twitter).

    Which New Major Character From The New Trilogy Do You Like Best?

    Kylo. He is the only character with meaningful character development in the films so far, and after the TLJ, I am rooting for the First Order.
