I agree that a player using his or her knowledge of every monster and spell can be quite bad for the rest of the players. It can negatively impact other players' enjoyment of the campaign, particularly if the rest of the players didn't know a monsters stats/weaknesses/etc by heart. I also agree...

From only reading the OP, it could be a thing with the other players thinking you take up too much spotlight time doing a bunch of solo stuff and adding details to every interaction you have (waitress, old man etc.). Other players get bored if someone goes deep solo every chance they get, and...

I find Herolab somewhat cumbersome and unnecessary for 5e. Besides, no iOS software in my home. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I can't wait to try these out! :-) Will post my impressions in a while. No iOS in my home though. A shame since those apps look well-polished. I'm actually surprised the D&D crowd is more into Apple than the more "free-to-program" Android.

Thanks for the summary, MNblockhead! No smartphone software at all for 5e worth checking out? I know the Fight Club app was out for iOS at one point and looked promising.

We do the "drop below negative and you get a level of exhaustion" house rule. Has really lessened the yoyo-effect on combat, and healing preferably needs to be done before someone drops.

I haven't participated much in the forums for the last several months, although I've been playing lots of D&D 5th Edition. Any interesting apps or software available now for 5e? I have the spells apps for Android, and the Orcpub character builder is pretty cool. Anything else worthwhile out...

Perhaps a "own some, completed none" option should have been made. I own a couple and have only completed Lost Mines, but suspect many own some and haven't completed any. I'm currently running my players through OotA too.

Scary item from a former data-guy at MTGO here on Blues News in these comments. Comment #18 https://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&boardid=1&threadid=177664 It seems there are a lot of cracks in those walls.

I think it is simply women not being particularly interested in forum communities compared to men (they skew more heavily in Facebook and similar settings/websites than sites like EN World) so you encounter more of these types. They aren't representative of the site as a whole, because people...

Interesting read! People who use Ghostery and other such features to avoid being tracked is a swiftly-growing segment of the internet's population. These are mostly 20-30 year-olds, and they aren't being accounted for here or in other statistical analysis. The price for anonymity is perhaps...

Witcher RPG seems like a great mix of classic fantasy and intrigue, so I voted for that!

No, but I have run something akin to it in coordinance with AL, getting materials to use from WotC with their blessing. The rigamarole of tracking and logging has prevented me from participating, aside from the fact that almost no stores or community centers have anything of the sort here in...

Feature and power creep has to be coming soon with the newfound frequency of these articles. Everything was ticking along so nicely too.

That's a LOT of work for a few quick encounters. :-) I could understand the miniature terrain better in 3e, 4e or Pathfinder, but 5e really shines with theatre of the mind. Nice terrain though - very nice, in fact!

For something in the same ballpark, there are a ton of NPCs to be found here - most levels and classes. http://www.digitaldungeonmaster.com/dd-5e-character-sheets.html

That's all right, only if you feel like you want to. I just figured they would be more useable for more purposes in a larger scale. It's easier to convert large-->smaller and maintain a good quality than vice versa.

Cool icons, but do you have them in larger resolutions?

That is very true! :-) I wish it all the success in the world, but was expecting an instant batch of outrage given what's happening in many comic universes - my first post being very tongue-in-cheek.
