I saw it last night and quite liked it. There were a couple of believability problems. Even accepting super-powers I know very well that their end-of-the-worlds threat wouldn't work, and that that evacuation wasn't possible in the time allowed. Oh well. What I thought they did very well was...

I probably wouldn't answer the following, but since this is ask me anything ... (In other words, I'll totally understand if you say "no comment") How is the site doing financially? Is it meeting your goals? Do adblockers and such have a significant impact?

My first thought in response to this question was that Princess Leia is a diplomat, so yes, narratively at least, a diplomat can be part of an adventuring party. I'm pretty sure that the Star Wars and Traveller game both had diplomats as adventurers so these would be good spots to look for...

No to almost everything. The bacteria, as noted, you can't see. For the rest, I would benchmark the spell's ability from wish. Wish is "the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast." Thus True Polymorph will not do anything a wish can't do. For object creation, wish can make something up...

I really, really love the "ribbons" concept. It has the potential for a great deal of coolness. The first other ribbon I thought of was actually from Piratecat's story hour, the way paladins and clerics of the sun god can look directly at the sun without damaging their vision.

Bastard Sword: +2 longsword (cursed). While wielding the Bastard Sword in combat, the users alignment becomes NE and his charisma drops by 4 points. Furthermore, if there is an opportunity for the wielder to gain advantage by harming or betraying an ally, he must make a will save or the sword...

I'm not aware of a site that has everything You can find the Phil & Dixie run on Phil Foglio's website: http://www.airshipentertainment.com There are several Wormy collections around the web. Here's one: https://sites.google.com/site/wormycollected/Home There may be others, but these were...

I use Audacity for such tasks. It's a free audio editor and fairly sophisticated. Adobe Premiere Elements is even easier, but of course it's not free

But ... but ... what about those videos showing a katana cutting through tank armor?

I kind of like that bit. The fighter emerges from the orcs' caves into a tremendous cavern heaped high with gold coins. Atop the coins lies a red dragon, eddies of noxious vapor rising from its mouth. "Looks like I'll need the big sword for this one," he says.

This is the biggest bonus of a more complex initiative system, IMO. In my 1E/2E games spell interruption was such a check on the power of casters that we never really saw the caster/martial power imbalance so many people talk about. It made for interesting tactics too. In combat, frequently...

I've never really used Christmas tree NPCs. It leads too quickly to Christmas tree PCs. My usual design of opponents goes like this: (1) Pick desired ability level of opponents (2) Pick the treasure I want the PCs to be able to get (3) Create the base opponents so that base abilities +...

I can see a lot of good things about 5E's cantrips. But I play to experience worlds like I read in fantasy fiction. And while there are some where a mage is an infinite Zippo, those aren't really the worlds I'm looking to experience. I dislike hard limits though. In your case I'd consider a...

I consider the disintegrate spell the ideal way to handle them.

You might want to adjust your formatting. Your post shows up as black on black in some display schemes.

I find it more useful to identify the subclasses with fictional characters 1) Champion - Conan 2) Battlemaster - Croaker or Elmo from The Black Company 3) Eldritch Knight - Sparhawk from one of Edding's series One archetype that I'd like to see is Dilvish from Zelazny's books, a fighter...

That feat looks very well done - balanced, useful, evocative. For me the hardest part of getting martial arts in a D&D game is providing a reason to use it. If unarmed fighting is worse than armed, why ever use it? And it makes little sense to have weapons inferior to unarmed fighting. I...

The most important thing in this situation is to understand the social contract at the table. At some tables, it's "we're all heroes, we will cooperate and be nice to each other." In this situation making a character that will act against this norm is a jerk move. Yes, you should roleplay...

This is emphatically not the DM's job to handle, at least in his DM role. Control of the character is strictly the player's prerogative. There are a lot of ways to approach this. Out of character may work, depending on the group. "Hey guys, I'd rather not have a game where we stael from each...

Funny and unexpected? Hmmm ... I don't have the rulebooks available, so this is really off the top of my head and these may not be level-appropriate. You can always adjust though. 1) A Spanish inquisitor (because no one expects that) 2) A giant space hamster 3) a gelatinous cube 4) a...
