I hope so too. I'm hoping it will be an epic fight for them.

I'll probably run it as written, and add some HP if they are having too easy a time of it. I want it to be a challenge, but I don't want it to be a long boring fight. It should live long enough for each of the PC's to do at least one cool thing, and have some scary moments if they fail too...

For the most part I plan on treating the heads as Large creatures that share a HP pool. The player attacks whichever head they choose that is within reach of their attack. If they want to attack the body, it is under 10' of murky water (heavy obscurement, underwater combat rules, and most...

I'm not too concerned about the CR rating, but the hydra may be a bit tougher than I want it to be. They didn't end up encountering it today, instead getting sidetracked with a side quest to acquire a premium pet carrier for the monk's pet Tressym (only 10,000 gp for a top of the line...

This is a legendary hydra I plan on having my players encounter in our next session. Thought I'd share it in case anyone found it interesting. It will be at the bottom of a 30' deep body of water, with the PC's on platforms and walkways that are 10' above the surface of the water. Prismatic...

It's not "cheating" - especially not when you do it for an exceptional monster. But if the DM just gives +2 AC and +3 attack bonus across the board to all their opponents because the DM knows the players have strong characters...that just feels like dirty pool. :p Not saying anyone here makes...

Oh, you very definitely are. This...not so much.

Magic Item shops are present in the larger cities in my campaign, with hedge wizards and herbalists shops having a much more limited selection of items in rural areas. I use the "Sane Magical Prices" PDF as baseline: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8XAiXpOfz9cMWt1RTBicmpmUDg/view?usp=sharing

Hm...I've done a Goliath Warlock before (as a "damage mitigation" tank). I might try something similar if I was to do a Goliath Wizard. 1 level of Fighter for Con saves and Heavy Armor, then go Wizard (Abjuration Specialist). Focus on defensive spells, and spells that help me absorb or...

Talk to your players about what kind of game style they would like to play - Dungeon Delves, High Fantasy, Cinematic Fantasy Action Heroes, Political Intrigue, etc. Then figure out what kind of game you feel comfortable running and ignore all their suggestions...I mean incorporate their...

That was in no way an ad hominem attack, or even "nasty" and I'm offended that you would misrepresent it as such. Please don't try to create drama where it doesn't exist.

They sound kind of like someone who is tired of GM'ing and wants to play, but doesn't trust anyone else to GM for them, so they want a game were the GM just handles rules adjudications then gets out of the way while the players all describe how cool their characters are and how they are going to...

I know you only want to hear from people who agree with you, but no, I do not have this kind of problem in my game.

Yeah, we need to focus on what's important here. Specifically, how this tweet affects your feelings and ego because of his choice of words. That whole sexism and misogyny thing he was referring to? Entirely beside the point and not worth discussing. This is about you and how you were...

Nor was it intended to. It's kind of irrelevant to the question of worldbuilding. If that was something you actually wanted to know about, you should have said so. You seem to like repeating stuff I've said back to me. I find this curious. Do you worry that I've forgotten what I wrote...

See, now I'm worried that it might negatively impact my ability to recognize humor in written form when I encounter it.

And you still state that you are confused by and cannot understand relatively basic concepts associated with D&D. That is indeed unfortunate. I sincerely hope you figure it out someday. At least you recognize your limitations and moved onto a different type of game. I hope you enjoyed it...

I don't know. Based on the evidence presented in this discussion, playing games like that may render you incapable of understanding even basic concepts associated with playing D&D. I'm just not sure I want to take that risk.

I'm sure it does. But it's not confusing - you are just confused by it. There is a difference. I find your lack of understanding completely believable. Something else I find completely plausible. Perhaps games like D&D aren't for you.

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
