I read over the section, but it seems to recommend not giving them stat blocks and just having them interject when narratively appropriate, but I'm running a training wheels game as we learn the rules and my players essentially promoted a side NPC into a party tank. Set him up with armor, he...

I'm brand new to the game, just a couple days in, so it's likely I've overlooked some rules. But I'm scratching my head at a few things like: When do allied NPCs with stat blocks take their turn? What do heavily obscured areas do, especially Mysterious Mist? Do you get all Foundation cards at...

Sounds a bit like my father. Only 65 and won't touch a cell phone.

I would chip into getting Ed a decent computer any day. The least I could do after decades of fun.

I really struggled with Persona 5. It got such high praise, but I just couldn't handle the dialog.

I always ruled that the opening rotates around the internal space - so a portable hole opened on the ground leads to the ceiling of the internal space. If you open the portable hole on a wall, you come in from the side of the internal space. This ensures shelving and fragile objects are not...

I find D&D far better at generating stories than generating fair and balanced encounters. Some of the most memorable moments in the game have been the result of great or terrible luck with the dice, and rarely does the party discuss how well balanced my encounters were 20 years later. There are...

If he can photograph giants and dragons, we've got bigger problems. Or an isekai.

The problem is that feats are a 3 (ish) in your lifetime resource. So let's say it takes a feat to learn how to pin someone, or a feat to learn how to do algebra, or a feat to learn how to build a small robot. Well... there are lots of people with dozens or even hundreds of feats (or the...

It's a little too common. Especially when your table has been allowing X, and then some book publishes a feat that allows you to do X, and there's a sudden discussion about how you can't do X anymore without the feat. And just what CAN you do, if not X? How much is allowable without stepping on...

Yep. She got death threats and recounts stories of how she was shouted at by fans at Cons.

It was all of the above.

I certainly think so. Vox Machina are a party of Big Damn Archetypes that make for a compelling action oriented story. When the cast started Mighty Nein they went deeper into their characters and had (mostly) more complex portrayals. It was also a more personal story on the whole. There's a very...

Humorously, I stuck with Skype for a long time. But after it was purchased, it slowly lost features that were important to me (like unlimited history), until I finally swapped to Discord. I can't believe I held out for so long. Just being able to control individual volume for each person in the...

What feature did you dislike about Discord? What features are most important to you, besides free?

Critical Role. By the power of the OP I would just pull up a seat at the start of Campaign 4 while they all give me funny looks. Too bad, I'm in the campaign now!

And it was so simple to fix as well. They could have easily put clauses in the 3rd level abilities that trigger when reaching 6th level! "At 3rd level you gain X, and at 6th level you gain Y." Boom.

Yep! Mazzy explicitly had some paladin powers like Lay on Hands despite being a fighter. She even breaks the 4th wall, and cracks a joke about the gods revising halflings a third time in Throne of Bhaal (released in 2001, a year after 3rd Edition).

Shhh! Don't tell @ECMO3

Everyone around me (irl) just says 5E, and mostly they mean 5.5 now. But I don't mind what anybody else uses; I understand what they mean.
