I went with Beholder, Mindflayer and Lich, but it's weird because I could have easily went; Goblin, Kobold, ...Orc isn't there or Gnolls so maybe Owlbear. I use those monsters way more and have tons of fun with them, they aren't as "D&D" specific though. Favorites though would probably include...

A rather narrow space, like a garage door, or a hallway, or a stairway, unless of course there is more than one creature doing the blocking.

Yeah but it started when they said; Your response was; As if 10' wide doors somehow negates the strategy of blocking chokepoints if available. 10' wide doors are strange, most doors are 3' or less, it's enough room to drive a truck or and elephant through. 10' wide "openings" are not rare...

Do you know what a door is? :unsure: Because you were the one who brought up goblins and 10' doors. If you personally use "door" to refer to any sort of absence of walls or other obstacles then you are a more interesting person than I would have guessed, that's kind of awesome in a way :) "Man...

Yeah, and most doors should be AT LEAST 10ft wide! Sure 99% of doors on earth are not that big, including garage doors, but just because we pathetic humans can handle our puny doors doesn't mean goblins would stand for such a thing. Just because you can drive a truck through it doesn't mean it's...

They conducted a massive playtest, getting tremendous amounts of feedback from their fans to produce a game that didn't alienate most of them and gave them what they wanted from a new version of D&D. Then they released one of the most intuitive and easy to pick up ttrpgs (IME) that still...

It does seem oddly coincidental that their last report happened before that big blow-up between fans and leadership, then they didn't release a report when they normally would have. Now they come back with one, but stopped sharing user numbers... Unless I am wrong about order of events.

There is a free online PDF of the Basic Rules of D&D, which is just a pared down version of 5e, maybe that was the confusion.

This was one of those things I never would have guessed was a thing before reading forums. Decades of D&D and I never saw any reason to connect abilities recharging with end of sessions (in contrast to other systems with "session" or similar schedules). It would certainly make attrition (and...

Yeah, if I get what you mean by trivial then that is along time. Have you tried to streamline things down, if so what worked/didn't? When we aren't playing slowly for some particular reason (off-topic conversations, snacking, brand-new player etc.) initiative order takes literal seconds to write...

Goblin encounters don't have to be ho-hum, whether they are short or long, much of this depends on the people playing/world etc. More to the point though, how long does it take your group to run a "trivial" combat? 5/10/30 minutes? I think that can be a big factor.

Others might not have though. It shows that truth and disrespect aren't tied to one another, sure. Intent matters, as do actions. Wait, so you are using some specific definition of the term that fits your criteria, wherein something can be spiteful even if no spite is involved, why am I...

I don't know if there's any hope for this thread getting back on topic, but maybe we can wrap this up in case there is? I don't know how we could figure out "most" but the point is they don't have to be. There are times when telling a white lie or bending the truth is done in a way that isn't...

I never said anyone should be "afraid" of disrespecting people, I know I am not, though I do believe that a certain level of respect should be the default. It's entirely possible to counter bad ideas without being disrespectful, and it's often more successful. The whole point though was the...

It isn't even a tad bit spiteful unless it's done out of spite to some degree. If it's done because they think the game is better without it, that's not spiteful. It might be a tad bit audacious to think that you might have an idea of what's good for the game, or rather to express it, because we...

Sure, and you can also say; "I hate this, and I think having the game is better without it." without making you a terrible person or even worse... dare I say it, someone who was on the non-4e side of the edition war (hive of wretched scum and villany we all must swear they were). You can just...

Am I the person you are referring to as "He"? If I implied it, I meant to state it more clearly than that. People such as yourself make "edition warring" statements frequently ie; stating that other editions are bad/inferior/poorly designed in one way or another, derogatory comments about the...

At the same time, if someone saying; "I don't like this thing and think the game is better without it." results in them being piled on with attacks and attempts to shut down any discussion, then that probably needs to pushed back against by someone. The fact that you can say you hate things from...

I tried really hard to "get" 4e. In retrospect I am surprised how much thought and effort I invested compared to other games that didn't produce great results for me at the table (had no trouble walking away from 3.x for example). Part of it is probably because the first AP podcast I tuned into...
