    D&D General What does D&D look like without Death on the Table?

    You write a story together. Lots of great plot twists, caused by both DM and players. They interact with the world, and change it. Large overarching storylines (slowly) get influenced by the actions of the players, and meanwhile the players make or break the lives of other NPCs they meet and...

    D&D General Who gives demons/devils their (true) name?

    So, demons and devils have a true name, and possibly a common name. Who gives these names to them? Demons and devils are what is left of humanoids after they die, right? But typical demon/devil names do not sound like their humanoid names (I haven't seen a devil named John Smith yet, their...

    D&D 5E (2014) Usefull falling damage?

    As a DM I would never allow some exploit where a monk can suddenly do 15d6 damage. That must have a downside, or it breaks the game. I would probably rule that the damage that the target takes is coincidentally identical to a regular attack by the monk - so all the climbing and falling is nice...

    D&D 5E (2014) How to have a constructive conversation with players?

    That sounds a little like you are trying to justify your own sunk-cost fallacy. All the adventures are written with nice details. Those are actually easy to copy-paste into your own adventure, although I personally find it a lot easier to write my own stuff. It's not difficult to write some...

    D&D 5E (2014) How to have a constructive conversation with players?

    Did you guys have a session zero? Are the characters a team that fit the story? Do the players and DM have the same expectations in terms of roleplay vs combat? Do you, as DM, have enough time to prepare? If you are just bored reading the chapters and making sure that the players get onto the...

    D&D General Poll: Combat or Roleplay?

    Hey all, It is well-known that the main goal of all players is to mess with the DM and for the DM to kill the players. But outside that, I am curious to see what you all focus your attention on: combat or roleplay? Given the content of most threads, I have a suspicion, but that may be all...

    D&D 5E (2014) How fantastic are natural 1's?

    It's interesting that the first few people that replied to this thread very successfully hijacked this thread. So, here's an anecdote. Our party of three went into a town. We just purchased an important scroll to get rid of our curse, and we were in a safe place and a good mood. So, we did...

    D&D 5E (2014) Killed Me a Lawful Stupid Paladin

    If a PC in my game would "pick a fight", then I would choose from two options: 1. Allow it and make sure it is interesting and balanced (which is not hard in a one-on-one fight), and weave it into the story arch. If it is stupid to pick that fight, then let it have consequences for later in the...

    The Horror! of a Game That Never Ends

    It is not terribly complicated to write a short campaign of 3-4 sessions as a trial-run (or even a one-shot!). In the final session of those 3-4 sessions, you as a DM have the option to put in plot hooks for a much larger story-arch, or not. Anyway, as so often, this is why you need to have a...

    D&D General Pet or familiar for a hunter of the undead?

    Great replies, everyone! I love the hyena, @Sir Brennen. I may cook up some "weird" idea like the bell that @doctorbadwolf mentioned. Good idea too. The small companions such as a small sniffing-dog or a weasel/ferret was not what I was looking for, but will now be built into the campaign in a...

    D&D General Pet or familiar for a hunter of the undead?

    Hey hive mind, Say I would make a cleric or paladin who dedicate their lives to hunting down undead. And say that this paladin has a pet or familiar. What creatures (which are at least not evil) are really good at hunting down undead? Note that these are to be NPCs, and as a DM I can give such...
