    D&D General How do you prefer your monster books?

    Just the basic monster book. I have played too long to need much more. I do like the fluff about whare and how things live and cool ways to use them, but keep it a paragraph or two. Most monsters are meant to be killed and do not need much. Favorite would be the 3-ring-binder. Was not...

    D&D General My character has too many magic items to attune to.

    I let attunement equal proficiency bonus. Bu t I also give out too much magic like older editions. But my players also make just semi-optimized characters so I'm ok with it.

    There was that whole module with exploring a spaceship that crashed in the High Forest of FR. Barrier Peaks- The cover even has a guy with a ray gun. Anything Spelljammer. Most magic items such as magic stones that let you walkie-talkie with each other.

    D&D 5E (2024) Improving Medicine - one of the least loved skills.

    Using the healer's kit to stabilize someone with an action, I might let someone with Medicine use a bonus action instead since it is not something to get advantage with. Does not make sense timewise but little does in the game. Using it to determine a monster that is bloodied is not...

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    The OP is already bringing in meta knowledge when the DM tells him that he can see 5 wizards and he knows the rest of the party can see only 4. He then comes up with saying, "Oh 5 wizards must be a convention". To go around the circle and play games like this for a basic spell that does not...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I would be interested in what @FitzTheRuke thinks about sales in the game store. Everyone wants to spin and parse the carefully chosen words at the shareholders meeting, but someone who sells the books would have more impact on me to the health of the game.

    Worlds of Design: All in Your Mind

    I tend to only have roleplay scenes be TotM and once it leads to negotiations with a lightsaber, I bring out a grid. Basically for all the things mentioned above with the positions and flanking and spell effects and someone hiding and such. It works best for my table. If there was a fight...

    D&D General Hasbro enters gambling deal using Dungeons & Dragons intellectual property

    And who said that random booster packs of minis, dice, and trading cards was not a gateway for children to become addicted.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Abeyance, huh, yeah, What is it good for?

    What is better than the mage casting a fireball on the first round of combat? Two fireballs- even if the cleric needs to cast one of them.

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    I hope not. While they have the budget to spend they seem to like to throw it away and make junk lately.

    D&D General Xorn as an encounter

    They look like monsters yelling and coming right for me- we attack. Says most everyone in my party. Xorn - Xorn like deer - deer Xorn - Xeple like person - people Xorn - Xorpi like octopus - octopi Xorn - Xorns like bee - bees If I made a poll, this is where the pithy answer would go such as...

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    Have not see anyone mention Diehard or Jason Borne. James Bond if you split things by actor might be something to count.
