    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    14d+1 would give a more natural spread. Nah players want to see what happens. Even 6d6 damage is unlikely to be significant in 5e. There is a good chance they can bypass the whole puzzle using Misty Step, Jump or Fly. I would work out the stats for the trees too - destroying them is an option.

    It did, but they were all Luis.

    I expect this is a regulatory requirement, since it includes depictions of violence. Also reading age is an issue. No point in selling it to someone who isn’t a fluent reader unless they have help. I intend to use it with 9 year olds - the age people might actually be interested in starting D&D...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    I would certainly use the original radius and damage (but no save for half). The trees aren't going to evolve to shred themselves! Or change the damage type to poison, changing the save to CON. I would probably stick with the auto-fall if players are walking on the ground (since they should be...

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    That would just have a low DC (5) rather than advantage.

    D&D General The NPC writing session

    Why keep a dog and bark yourself? They are all DMs already, and spend most of their time doing that stuff.

    I don't think they are allowed to show the good stuff!

    So, life on Mars...

    Studding the "handedness" of certain organic molecules could give an indication, should we ever reach the point of having a significant sample size.

    I was thinking of making them for myself, because that’s fun. Making things for other people is work!

    Could make them. I have a cereal box and paints. I think there might be a laminator somewhere too.

    Which would have made sense if it had been the final episode. They clearly thought they weren’t getting renewed! Flashbacks to Blake’s 7, where everyone thought they were cancelled until a new series was mentioned by an announcer after the “last” episode.

    True, but when it comes to making ones for other classes, not all are equally viable. Barbarian would fit easily. But trying to fit an explanation of wildshape on to the card is not so simple.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I think the line was deliberately mumbled. It's not an Easter egg if you don't make some effort to hide it. The whole episode plot was Who-ish though: As an episode, I thought it was weak and self-indulgent. As a show finale, I thought it did a decent job of wrapping things up, and I've seen...

    D&D General Why wouldn't you run a Dark Sun game?

    Which was only a problem because the user base was so small. So it's just as true to say TSR failed because they failed to sufficiently expand their user base.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    Sorcerers, warlocks, bards and druids get rather more text in those early levels, which would make them hard to fit on similarly sized cards.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    Yep. The only thing different about this game is it uses a card instead of a character sheet. It's just an easier way to present the same data, not a different game.
