Much appreciated; I'm also looking for guachi 's input, because like him, I'm also one who finds trying to flip through three or four books while playing at the table WAAAY more trouble than it's worth, and have to go through the inconvenient step of extracting stat blocks when making prep notes...

Thing is, there are millions of people actively playing D&D currently (something like 12 to 15 million last surveys) - I really doubt the majority are just reading and not playing the released material. back when it was more like 3 to 4 million active players about 15 to 20 years ago, i could...

guachi DID say, “his conversion”, not his 1e prep notes. If it is a 5e conversion, i’d Be interested in seeing one of his more complex liner notes for monsters (in a spoiler block if anyone is concerned with spoilers).

Is this really still true, though? I know back when they were putting out a hardcover and a bunch of soft covers every month, this was actually true; however, with so few releases per year and all the focus on mainly adventure content, I think more people are actually PLAYING with this material...

Oh, God, they're doomed -- they're only taking in $300,000.00 a day, now! How will they make enough stretch goals to fund a series that goes all the way through to the Vecna fight at the end of the campaign, now?? ;)

I REALLY don't like it, and I'll tell you why: Often during my prep notes, I have to copy the information from a stat block into a quickly-referential format for use in my notes, without having to scan for information useful in an RP interaction or a combat. If the format is already a...

Jim is also original writer for Skullkickers years ago, as well as the very first round of Pathfinder comic books back in 2012. The guy’s on his way to becoming a comics legend in his own right.

First of all, I think there’s a misunderstanding of sympathy and empathy going on in the thread: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Empathy_vs_Sympathy I can’t have empathy for people like Pat Pulling, because I’ve never had a child, nor lost a child through suicide, nor had anyone in immediate...

Hey, don’t knock it! It’s gotta be awesome — the LEGO Movie tells us so. ;) I’ve used everything from cardboard pawns, to risk pieces, to the Wizkids stuff, to super-detailed lead and pewter figures — whatever still floats the boat.

I have to agree with the camp that says that readied attacks can’t disrupt casting of spells. IMO, Not only does the wording of “ready” preclude it, but the case examples of spells or actions being pre-emptied are all called out as being exceptions in their own wording, e.g. Counterspell and...

I’ve used Milestone Levelling before it was called “Milestone Levelling” - probably going on 20 years now. The point at which I got tired of tracking XP in our 2E games with my gaming group at the time, I just pretended to keep track of them and started assuming an XP amount if they finished the...

WotC are not fools: Anything good for Crit Role is good for the D&D brand. I hesitate to say that Matt Mercer and crew are the best thing for D&D since the Satanic Panic.

Our gaming group uses a 30-second game timer for individual turns to avoid analysis paralysis - I would find no problem with such a time limit on a major choice either, as 30 seconds is plenty of time for a small group (4 to 6) to come to a majority consensus. As long as the DM clearly lays out...

Wouldn't that be more like, "The constantly-singing antiheroes?" :D

Looks like someone did it for me.... :)

I use an iPad for my viewing mainly, and in both Firefox and Chrome, the left-hand side of the right pane is cut off; plus, that font is ENORMOUS. I have to scroll right in a column of text (like the editorial in the front) to read the first few characters on the left. In a PDF, I don’t have...

This looks like some fantastic content, if only it weren’t presented in such a damned annoying fashion. In the app, the text is either oversized or too small, and in the on-screen viewing in the browser, the page doesn’t quite fit on the screen due to the overlap with the two vertical navigation...

Yeah, True 20, based on Mutants and Masterminds, both use only a d20 as the only die in the game. https://greenroninstore.com/collections/true20 There’s an SRD for it: http://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/srd/srd_true_romantic/index.html Don’t think that’s the official one though.

Umbran; makes a great point - even in cases of things like Elementals, a non magic weapon should have NO chance of damaging a wave of sentient water, and yet it does (albeit reduced damage); the metagame reason is that it’s needed for the class, but there are ways to flavor it as vulnerable to...

The backgrounds come up quite often at tables i’ve Played or run; however, the bonds, flaws, ideals, etc. don’t come up often. For some reason,people seem quite happy to have artisan, urchin, soldier, etc. influence their character’s thought processes, but seem to chafe at those other...
