Team Caves Urgan allowed Valendra to stand, holding her wrists and threatening her with violent retribution should she resist, while Merrick questioned her, Torhak took the lone remaining mercenary into custody, and Shamal recovered himself. Valendra answered, "I am not a member of the Cult of...

Oh, I'm sure I've used 5.5 myself at various times. I'm not a fan of it, but in spite of appearances here, I'm not going to argue with everyone who wants to use it.

At the risk of starting this up again, when it was so beautifully concluded (honestly, sorry everyone). I feel like asking: For those that prefer to call the 2024 books "5.5" - what is wrong with, say, 5e24 (is it really just that one more keystroke!?). Are you sure that you're not just stuck...

That's easily explained! Plenty of shop workers are exactly the kind of folk that hang out here and argue. It says something about that fellow, but nothing about the edition. Nor even the shop. Certainly not shops in general. Just one guy, and folks like him. And you. It is nowadays! Here...

I've explained. Calling it that is being obsessed with a 20+ year old marketing gimmick. I am over that. Why is calling it 5.5 so important to you? (Also: This is at least the fourth time I've had this discussion. It's old. I know that I won't change your mind. You won't get me to think 5.5...

That's not actually true. I guess everyone here knows what you mean, but regular people do not. I deal most often with "normies". And c'mon. Four keystrokes are harder than three? How silly.

My group, and my game store, calls it "D&D" and only if there is a danger of confusing anyone we call it the "new books" and only here do I call it 2024. I only rarely need to speak of it as 5e. My comment about 19th edition was mostly to point out how silly it is when people insist that it...

That's part of my point: People who played 3.5 are fixated on the idea of half editions. Half editions are not a thing. It was a gimmick used ONCE, 20 years ago, for precisely one "edition", and part of the community won't let it go. They called 4e Essentials 4.5. They retconned the 2e Black...

Loklafd will ask: Once we have it, what then? Where do we go? And, will the rest of us wait here?

Because that's a fundamentally stupid name. I'd rather call it 19th Edition, which is, I think, what it actually is. (Edit: I'm not actually advocating for "19th Edition".)

No she isn't. She's from New Jersey. She's an American. Her family is from Pakistan. She was created by a Muslim-American and a Filipino-Canadian - not to be a "token" anything, but to represent someone that wasn't represented in comics.

Nah, that would work too.

I sell playmats, and I've never seen one used at any of my many D&D tables. Magic? Every Friday night, everyone has one.

Of course it is! But where is the fun in that?

I thought that we would plan it out in minute detail, arguing all the way, then finally agree, get started, and then suddenly all go our own way at the very first step. Isn't that how it always goes?

Looking closer, Terrin found a rune that was incomplete, but spotted a ten-pound chunk of stone that was lying in the dirt a few feet away that looked like it would complete the symbol, if placed in the missing spot. It was only a piece, of course, and nothing would move the many-tons of stone...

It certainly could be tried!

I fell behind in this thread. Have we planned the organized coup yet?

For those that don't remember: Bjorn (in Frog Form) came very close to being "eaten" (well, chomped anyhow) by the Hydra. My wife rolled an attack that missed! We also rolled randomly to see if it would give chase, and it turned out to be "too lazy". Otherwise, it's possible that Team Lake would...

"Guarding" is a bit strong. "Sitting on" or "Sleeping near" is a closer fit. Effectively the same thing, though!
