    D&D 5E (2014) Creating a New Campaign World Based on Hope & Optimism

    Well, you could use something like "restoration" or "preservation" as the positive word to better oppose corruption, if one of them felt right. Another word with a connotation of "building faithfully" might work better than those.

    D&D 5E (2014) Creating a New Campaign World Based on Hope & Optimism

    I love the idea, but something about my writing brain doens't like "Corruption" as the word here. I'd want a thematic word that better projects the antithesis here. Nitpicking comment over. Keep up the good work.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bugsploration Campaign Idea

    Like a lot of the weirder campaign ideas, this idea cries out for artwork. Do you have someone in your group who can draw peoples' characters?

    No reference to "Combat as War/Sport" just for old-times-sake?

    D&D 5E (2014) Do PCs at your table have script immunity?

    Despite what some gamers claim, not all players want to be challenged. Sometimes they just want to tell the story of their cool character. I've sometimes felt I should try harder to make my players work for a win, but they get really tense and unhappy-looking if they think their characters...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knights: how do you begin a fight?

    Seems pretty situational to me - not a class you can just run the same play every fight. If you're fighting foes with a lot of energy damage, the Hill Giant Rune is lower priority, for example.

    Slavic Pantheon

    I think I read somewhere that Czernobog (as it was in the article) translates as "dark-haired god", and that Christians made up the idea that there needed to be a bright-haired counterpart? Anyone else heard this?

    D&D General How Long Did You Play the Different Editions of D&D? (+)

    My groups and I all basically switched editions when the new edition came out - although we only playtested 4th edition the one time and switched to Pathfinder instead.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I'm more wondering why a thread discussing Campaign 3 is dominated by more complaining about someone not even in the show.

    D&D General What are you prepping for your next D&D session? (+)

    Running the final chapter of Rime of the Frostmaiden - (MINOR SPOILER) - and the players have decided to try to assassinate an arcanoloth. So I think I'm going to think out a series of skill checks necessary for a party to get surprise on an enemy who knows they're here and doesn't have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

    I wanted to try Council of Wyrms, but I didn't like the rules that balanced higher-tier dragons with longer "sleeping" times between levelling. It seemed to make actual campaigning weird. I'll have to see if these rules are interesting enough to work with.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual Alphabetization

    I like traditional format - but I really want Spider, Giant to be listed under "S" and not "G".

    D&D 5E (2014) Bag of Beans killed 2 PCs, solo bosses suck, and where to go from here....

    Well, how many HP should a mummy lord have to make it a viable challenge for appropriately-levelled PCs?

    D&D 5E (2014) Bag of Beans killed 2 PCs, solo bosses suck, and where to go from here....

    Well, mummies would have to be patient. I'd say he first finds a place to retreat to, where he can learn what he's up against before making any kind of non-defensive move. Mummies are also traditionally passive, but that doesn't need to apply here. I'm kind of curious how much a "powerful...

    D&D General DM's: How transparent are you with game mechanics "in world?"

    You know, if he is an inexperienced player, he may just be aggressively trying to learn the rules of the game. Just try explaining that NPCs don't use the same creation rules as PCs, and he shouldn't worry about them.

    D&D 5E (2014) All I do is Bless, Bless, Bless

    Considering how often this comes up, I was thinking about a magic item that maintains concentration on a 1st level spell for you, but I'm not sure how powerful that would be in play. It'd be pretty popular, I'm sure.
