Yikes. :( Yeah, that doesn't sound nice. I've had one or two DMs where they used minis and maps well, but most often every combat came down to who had the better tactical mindset, and things quickly become a game-within-the-game between the DM and the one or two players who really loves...

That's actually really interesting. I'll ask the two players in my long campaign about it when next we play. On that topic (and this isn't an attempt to be confrontational or anything), but don't you and the DM get a rapport over time, so you see the same "scene" that is taking place? That...

You are right on both counts. I've rarely seen these tactical geniuses explained by players though. With the battlemap, it becomes the players in charge rather than their characters (if that makes any sense) :-) And boardgames tend to produce the same behavior from some of the same players I am...

Depends on the players too. For the people who tend to enter "Analysis paralysis" a battle map will bog your game down. I also personally feel that the battle map makes everyone too tactical, which brings about two problems off the top of my head: 1) Characters with low int and wis are suddenly...

Mine is in its eighth year (and will conclude sometime this year). Had another one run 5+ years too. Otherwise they are about 6-12 months.

I've been fiddling with this Combat Manager (Kyle Olson's) for a bit now. I wish it had a simple way to use a monster's spell-like abilities or at least present them somehow outside the monster's description. The way the app handles attacks is pretty neat, where you chose an attack and it...

Very cool, Perigorn. Monsters are easy to find by the 5e descriptor, but is there any way to siphon out the Pathfinder spells?

Count me in the group highly grateful and happy for updates to this wonderful set of sheets. :-)

Yes, it works fine right now, but long-term I think something that lists things in a more easily-viewed manner would be an advantage, especially for new subscribers who come aboard in a few months. When there are 100 articles up there, it will need some sort of indexing rather than the...

Interesting! :-) I must comment on the patreon site though, and how strange it is to navigate. I keep clicking things and eventually wind up at the article download, but it seems it could be so much easier to access.. somehow. :-) Perhaps linking to this archive-list where the articles can be...

This.

Looking good. I am wondering why the characters have hundreds of hit points in level 7 though. :-) Was also surprised at the plethora of magic items. I liked how a game like The Witcher didn't overload on the loot, and wish more CRPGs would follow its example. Clearly they are changing a bunch...

I'm not on Twitter, but perhaps directing Crawford to this thread would provide a more thorough ruling? It's an interesting discussion.

Well, sometimes. That "some way" is the GM and the story going on in the game. It's a balancing act when to up the tempo, when to slow down, when to burn the last fumes and when to refuel. :-)

Sha'ir.

Well the kind of players who like being at full health aren't too happy to KITD. :-) Same with casters who worry about being down to half their spells for the day wanting to rest. Takes time to convert such rational people into being chaos-inducing madmen, but it is definitely doable. Taking...

Just read a few of these. Supply Curve of Evil was fantastic. :-)

Are you in any control of the layout of the Patronage pages? It seems a bit odd that the download link is that tiny button under the image. Any way to make the image itself be a link to the PDF? This article looks juicy btw! Will definitely see some use at my table.

Such wands are bountiful in Pathfinder games I've played in (both AP and custom). I am a stickler for "keep pushing even while we are bleeding buckets" gameplay, so I like that the magic item economy has made them rare in 5e. I abhore being a player in a game where everyone is pussyfooting...

Kindle-friendly articles and adventures would be immense!
