Foundry has hundreds of plug in apps, one of which is D&D Beyond importer, which lets you take any character or monster options you own in DDB and put them in foundry.

I custom stat 100% of the monsters I run. I use the chart here, which is based on the one created by The Angry GM. Monster statistics are adjusted to match PC's current level. They are also based on the monster-to-PC ratios. For example, If I have a group of five 6th-level PCs, I might make an...

Because the boys would just play Stitch and Kuzco all the time.

I have never heard of you or this YouTuber, but I clicked the link and watched. The Video style is not to my taste. But the book looks brilliantly laid out and very useful. I will definitely be buying it.

If the DM is tracking encumbrance penalty, conditions, exhaustion etc, they can write it on one sheet of paper and keep it on front of them.

Not counting minis? Rime of the Frostmaiden. I bought it last year sometime and ran it this year.

Most post apocalyptic games and media have a hopeful tone, as the players are fighting to bring humanity back from the brink of extinction. Mutant Year Zero certainty has a positive tone. Did he mention if Electric State will also?

I want to know what a tactical hoodie is.

About 20 years or so ago, I started working on my own RPG system. The way combat attacking worked (translated to 5e speak) is that an attack had to defeat the target's defense score, which is 5 + Dodge Score + Block Score. Dodge score was affected by Dexterity and class abilites (think monk or...

Mind if I ask, did you find any players here through the EN world forums?

The biggest thing that helped me was to have a session zero. I didn't let my players make characters until after they had read the players guide. Then as they made their characters I asked questions like "who in the city are you close friends with?" and "how did you get accepted onto the...

Greetings fellow persons. So I'm running ZG under 5e rules. Our group took a break when covid 19 broke out. I thought we would resume after a month or so. But its been three months now, so our group decided to start playing on Roll20. The system works well, but I've found that encounter maps...

Nobody in western civilization is currently engaging in slavery, colonialism, or genocide. Removing language that justifies it accomplishes nothing.

Racism is a systemic problem in which system, exactly? I am ignorant to how things are in the rest of the world (ENWorld is a British website) but in the country where I live, racism is not systemic to U.S. culture or U.S. law. It was in the past, but that ended. If you are saying that racism...

Orcs and Drow are fictional. And because they're fictional they can be whatever the game designers or individual play groups want them to be. If you want orcs to be a metaphor for oppressed people, that's fine. If you want them to be a metaphor for the existential fear of never being good...

That's the distinction between classical fantasy and modern fantasy. In classical fantasy the wilderness was the true threat. The destruction of civilization, which was the "good" was always looming. Monsters were symbolic of that, so Tolkiens orcs or Greek harpies were no different than...

If we call elf, orc, halfling, etc "breeds" , it subtlety suggests that PC races are actually all the same species, just differentiated by appearance. Considering how the bloodlines can intermingle (like half-orcs) that seems accurate anyway.

Alternate theory time. Maybe Mearls knows he and the team did such a great job designing 5E that he knows he'll never top it, so he decided to depart while he is still regarded as a genius. Jump ship while you're winning. Let someone else manage the fatigue and criticisms that the fan base...

Is there any actual evidence that this occurred?
