When I run I have no problem letting players pick up character of appriopriate level from previous campaign that is in the same setting or the character has canonically ended in a place where it could make sense for them to got to the campaign's next setting.

And I find that, especially in the context of NaNoWriMo being sponsored by a company that is going big on AI, to be a betrayal of the entire writing community. And while the words "poor disabled people" weren't exact words used, they do describe the way many have read the message of this post...

What is weird or narrow about official group behind a world-wide phenomeon using disgusting ableist rhetorics to push AI after accepting AI company as one of their sponsors, effectively alienating their entire fanbase by telling them they'll be replaced and that some of them are too stupid to...

This was literally how last year NaNoWriMo tried to justify using AI, by claiming "poor disabled people" are just unable to write without it and everyone who dislikes AI is ableist. There was a HUGE backlash from disabled writers who were not happy being infantilized to sell a naughty word toy that...

AI doesn't HELP you do anything, it generates ready, garbage, thing. The idea it is "helping" is currently being pushyed through VERY ableist lenses by AI bros, trying to pass it as a tool for the disabled people, effectively treating every disabled person ans unable to do anything on their own...

Tavern Brawler is very useful for Monk. I did the math and it is in fact ten times more useful. There is a 6% chance any other class using Tavern Brawler will reroll will jsut get 1 again. For Monk that chance is 2% and goes down every time their Martial Arts die improves, down to 0.6%. And...

Big deal, I never felt like I fit in this or any hobby. My whole life is a history of trying to make myself place in the hobbies full of people that fundamentally despise my existence without knowing me. My disillusionment with comic book fandom and video game fandom and anime fandom can be all...

Yes, this is for a damage dealer perspective. And this effectively scales the damage up on all tiers, it is jsut notable it even outscales the highest tiers. However, if you get Ranger levels first, you could technically grab Epic book at Monk 16, since it will be your effective character level...

I see a lot of daring choices and improvements mechanically, I am even tempted to get 2024 Monster Manual and player's Handbook (but Bastions scare me away from Dungeon Master's Guide due to their "I WIN" button nature). But I see a lot of books that were criticised for dismissive approach to...

I just added the math in opening post and Ranger 3/Monk 17, Hunter, Gloom Staler and especially Fey Wanderer, just outclasses full monk in damage dealing and utilizes Hunter's Mark better than Ranger. I didn't do it for Beastmaster, since that one clashes with Monk for Bonus action and...

I am about to add some observations about how much Nick increases Monk's damage output

I don't think either contradicts the idea of demon who spawned either way and still is pissed about being born ready to do evil, and thus never having a choice, and thisis why he hates mortals.

Yeah, this is an issue I have with this approach. because if a demon lord is wrecking chaos, I want to know which Powers would be interested in helping stop them. Yes, I could say "any devil will lend a hand stopping demon lord....for a right price" or "Any celestial will gladly join the battle...

Evil vs evil is fine, as long as it's not rivalry between members of the same side. I know Yeenoghu hates Baphometh and isn't big fan of Graz'tr either, but I would like to know what archdevils he has beef with, for example. I will try to read them, any specifics come to mind that I could look...

My issue isn't that, but insisting on humanoids being inherently evil. Also, I jsut realzied actual demons in D&D do not have children, they spawn in a specific adult form and transform into strogner ones. Kinda gives me ideas for villain, a demon who hates humans for being allowed t obe born...

I'm not changing systems mid-campaign. After we finish, we could. I will propose several option and 5e 2024 is on that list, but so are Tales of the Valian, Level Up and Pathfinder 2e nd various other systems. As for the 2024 update...it's a mixed bag. Some things are good - Monk, Monsters...

I always found it annoying some Mystara fans argue baby Kobolds in Caves of Chaos should rush the PCs with their first small knives "as a way to teach the players humanoids are evil". Dude, if some jackass broke into my house and murdered my parents in front of me and I stab him, does that make...

One less common thing I heard from videos made by people who did play/run for higher levels, is that...the pwoer creep is kinda fake. In reality the way PCs gain power shoots super high in the middle, there is exponential power gain for tier II and early tier III, that makes PCs rollsotmp all...

If you remove concentration, then before every fight casters will be like this:

I would go with set of gods that each have assigned one class, maybe each having 3 forms to include variety. But faiths aren't species-locked and most of evil groups are probably mixed of various species. Genies, Demons, Devils, Celestials, Giants, Dragons and Fey should be VERY active in this...
