    D&D 5E (2014) Treating characters in the game as being part of a LitRPG novel/anime

    I might be mixing up movies but I think the remakes of jumanji did this by having the avatars tap their wrist and a screen would pop up next to them with their stats and inventory that they could then scroll through as if it were a VR interface. The only ‘advantages’ I can see of using this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice needed: is it ok to kill a player’s character if he is not there!

    Do the other characters that were present know/observe the death, or merely was relayed as player knowledge? If the characters did not observe it up close, the rogue might have just been knocked unconscious and his body taken. But being a rogue, just narrative that the rogue was able to...

    D&D General Woo-Hoo! Heading back to playing D&D in person soon! (for the first time since February 2020)!

    Arg, will you stop rubbing it in our faces; ‘old and unhealthy’ just gets all the perks! ;) ( to clarify in case tone is lost in written form, that’s meant as a joke)

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon themes

    If you squint your eyes while looking sideways at dragon color characteristics, they could (sort of) align with magic the gathering mana color spell characteristics. Ie red is very direct damage; white is very defensive; green gives off that rampage feeling; blue has some water/air themes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do GRICKS have eyes?

    In the area where your PCs fought the creatures, they had a genetic mutation causing those in that brood to not have eyes. But others in the world do have tiny eyes at the base of their beaks. Or, you know, being the odd creatures that they are and the PCs not having dissected one before...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Boxed Sets, what should WotC make?

    Well first question is what makes a good/appropriate boxed set. For me the better boxed sets have been ones with hand outs or maps that need to be separate /separated from the text. This tends to imply boxed sets for DMs, which is less target audience/sales than player base

    You could by yourself some time by home brew on the fly.... give each person a five minute focus of .... so tell me what your character would be doing on a regular day (and onceor twice prod for further details on something specific they mention) and figure out the PCs primary motive ( fame or...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Folk of the Feywild!

    My immediate thought was this was shades of hengyoki (spelling?) anthromorphic race of various animals with fey blood. That also had other animals like monkeys and dogs and such. The one consistent difference between them and this is I think those previously published could shapechange in to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Change the name to Dungeons OR Dragons

    Well if they did original TSR style , they could have an entire book of tables nestled in tables that give you a randomized an unique name just for your own group! Noun #1 roll 1d12 1 leads to location noun table, 2 leads to humanoid noun table 3 leads to kitchenware noun table ...... And then...

    Where's Mom?

    1) if the -players- don’t seem like they’ll put in any effort to this thread beyond just asking the question, then make what you decided all true and simple like that 2) the faeries are nearby? What if the mom is actually a fae in human guise due to magic. Maybe the husband never knew...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate III - *LIVE* Panel From Hell II

    I’ve been having fun with the game. Though I’m trying not to burn out on it before early release. So I’m forcing myself to not play as much as I want to! What a problem to have. Ha

    Superman & Lois

    As an aside, it was hitting some similar story beats that Black Lightning (another show by same production team ) did.... the father who is trying to be a good father and his kids didn’t know his dual identity and the kids start developing powers. Though I’m finding this writing a bit more...

    Superman & Lois

    I was hesitating because the tone on the dc universe tv shows have been very hit or miss with me, but I enjoyed the premier episode and will watch a couple more before deciding if I’ll add it in to my tv rotation ;)

    Resident Alien ( Alan Tudyk, syfy channel)

    Hadnt seen any discussion on the new show but figure it doesn’t have a lot of buzz in general so thought I’d toss this out there in case others are watching it. (premise for those not familiar, Alan tudyk (best known as Wash from Firefly) plays an alien that crash landed near a small town in...
