    D&D 5E (2024) Tyranny of Dragons 10 year anniversary Beadle and Grimm’s Legendary box set

    Hoard of the Dragon Queen was the first one right? Then ... Tyranny of Dragons was the higher level follow-up? Or was Tyranny of Dragons the combo adventure they put out a few years ago? Or was that called Tyranny of the Dragon Queen? I remember they combined titles for the combo reprint. I get...

    OSR How to make dungeon crawls interesting

    I will say that this heavily depends on the GM- some folk would rather have to come up with reasons for random encounters and reaction rolls on the fly, and build that part of the faction/dungeon story as they go. Why is there a halfling merchant caravan in the middle of the dungeon, or why are...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    Because I'd rather run my own setting and pluck inspiration from stuff like Eberron, curated to my own needs.

    D&D 5E (2024) 5e 2024: How does sleep deprivation work?

    The 2024 PHB doesn't give any penalties for not sleeping, except that you're not going to gain the benefits of a long rest. edit: I see other folk giving house rule answers, and from Xanathars, etc. There are a number of ways to handle not sleeping in 5e! I think Xanathar's is a good one and...

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    I still go back to some of those if I need inspiration!

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    Godspeed to ya! I'll take 3) Magic Items and 1) Archetypes for 4(00), Alex. (oh we can only vote for 1. done!) ADHD meds vary from person to person, as far as what works for whom and to what efficacy. I've been through almost the whole range, stimulants and non, adderall XR seems to work best...

    D&D General D&D 6e ala Steampunkette: Structural thoughts

    Re: multiclassing it really depends on what you want out of it. I hate the splash/dips, they're purely for #SickComboz. Multiclassing has been with us for a looong time, but I really dislike 5e's way of doing it (to be fair, it was originally supposed to be optional, stated that it wasn't tested...

    D&D General D&D 6e ala Steampunkette: Structural thoughts

    High end melee characters end up with an AC of like.. 25 or more. So that goblin won't be threatening them, if I understand it right, but on the other hand those high end casters with 18 AC could get hit decently hard.. in fact it'd give a reason to use Shield spell against attacks that hit, if...

    D&D General D&D 6e ala Steampunkette: Structural thoughts

    Re: mini levels, I did make an incremental advance rule for my dark sun game inspired by 13th Age's. 13A did it per session, I did it with XP, but I thought the idea was neat: Incremental Advances: When you've gained 25% of the experience necessary to reach the your character's next level, you...

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    You think the primary difference is the names of the gods? I mean, that's a difference but it's a difference that every string has.. I really wouldn't call those the key differences 😅

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    I'd compare it more to Greyhawk than Forgotten Realms... But I also wouldn't say Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms are super alike.

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    I don't think something like "Humans, halflings, and half-orcs, paladins, and wizards don't exist in the setting" or "the setting is pulp-action," or "the setting is gothic horror" has any great bearing on campaign length, with the exception that it may have some effect on the players that you...

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    AFAIK older versions are? Like, he makes v1.4 of a class, v1.3 goes up for free. Something like that? Not sure of everything that's included in his patreon. But I get where you're coming from.

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    Well I didn't just make the number up (I guess I exaggerated slightly, I forgot you're always supposed to round down in DnD)

    D&D General Laser Llama's Alternate Druid class

    Their rep speaks for itself, as does their $6.5k/month-earning Patreon 😅 I joined for a month when one of my players was looking at the Savant
