Snow is insulation and cover from predators for all the little animals who scurry around under it. If you move it away they will freeze more and get eaten more. I think a Druid is going to be the last caster who should meddle with nature like this. Getting rid of snow for human convenience is...

My D&D related new years resolution is to buy the 2024 PHB, read the whole thing as if it were brand new, and build some characters by hand to test it out and make me understand it. Then I will use that knowledge to help me run the beginner games here at our store with the new rules. (PS - If...

What if any healing that took you over your maximum made the extra into temporary hit points that last until a long rest?

I came here to say this too.

It's not a question of total crunch, it is a question of average crunch. I am currently running Mongoose Traveller which has lots of crunchy rules and lots of crunchy background but most of the time it is just "Roll 2d6, add the bonus for your skill and for your stat, and tell me." to my...

Travellers undercover on xenophobic Algine.

Their value depends on whether or not your DM will let you use them with your feet. Suppose you are a caster with a shield and an implement in your hands but without the Warcaster Feat. Do you want to be able to OA the fleeing (probably because their hit-points are low) enemy for 1 + your...

Because Traveller called "dibs" on them first, they're the Vargr.

Parry. It should be easier for a "mundane" Figher to just not get hit because they put their weapon and/or shield in the way of an attack.

Back in the day we played a Magic User with 2 hit points, who died at zero hit points the first time he was hit, in the second room of the Moathouse, and we liked it. (Well not really, but we had been having fun before then.)

The problem with picking a specific day is that it will not always fall on the same day of the week, and that is bad for player availability and for promoting it in stores. It might be better to go with something like "A Saturday in June (and the pandemic isn't dire)" date range that Free RPG...

For a true old school feel, weapons don't do damage, weapons do "hits". If you have 2 hit points and you're hit twice, you are dying. Three hits and you are dead. PC's have total hit points = to Level + CON bonus.

Black Dragon 21 Blue Dragon 22 Brown Dragon 21 Green Dragon 22 Gray Dragon 20 -2 = 18 (meh) Rahab, the Grey Dragon 18 Orange Dragon 18 Purple Dragon 22 Red Dragon 24 + 1 = 25 (go for the classics, go for the classics) White Dragon 21 Yellow Dragon 16 Tiamat, Queen of Chaotic 3

If you look at the prices for food & lodging then one GP is more like $80 to $100 US, so 500,000 GP's is more like $40 to 50 million USD. Location, location, location!

This is how Skynet begins! Do you want Skynet?

That's spending his Inspiration to get advantage on the check, to protect his Bond.

Tomb of Annihilation 16 - 2 = 14 (don't mix a slow hex crawl with an urgent magical doom) The Wild Beyond the Witchlight 23 Tales from the Yawning Portal 24 Ghosts of Saltmarsh 28 + 1 = 29 (You were just so cool when I was 13 and you're been adapted acceptably)

Three times per day, and you need to have food to do it - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Maybe four times a day for Halflings who take the new Racial Feat Second Breakfast....) You could just say that you need food as part of a Short Rest and that is why you're limited to three per day. That...

The Traveller Journal of the Travellers Aid Society #7 & #8 are $24.99, not $29.99. At least the two I bought yesterday at my FLGS listed that as their cover price. These are great magazines but they're probably too small to be worth $29.99 US.

I think that we would have some kind of sidekick class who, like Sam Gamgee, would be defined primarily by their relationship to one of the other characters and less by what they can do. This would also work for Jeeves & Wooster type characters where the game mechanics sidekick is the social and...
