    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    I know nobody asked me, but I think the Book of Many Things would have been more helpful to me if: It actually included the base rules for the item and the effects of each card as printed in the DMG to avoid having to reference both books at once. It provided 4 or so options or variants for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    :oops: I'm glad that worked out for you but it makes me even sadder that some of the replacement cards it took them nearly 4 months to send me, while were not warped out of the box, are now just about a year later, warped enough to affect shuffling and laying in a clean pile. :(

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    This thread is making me realize that I need to give this book more of a chance. I think just the disappointment of not finding what I expected and finding it hard to navigate made me too easily dismiss some of the cool ideas within.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    I just recently used it in prepping an adventure and decided I was disappointed in it. Not because it is necessarily bad (though I had to get replacement cards from WotC and the new cards eventually warped too) but because it was not what I wanted it to be and seemed to be missing some basic...

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    In my "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign, resurrection magic was severely restricted and came with consequences, so when a beloved member of the party was killed and the party found a magical item that could raise him, the party decided to do so even though they did not know the cost for each of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You said it. I didn’t. I literally said the opposite.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    C’mon man. I know your reading comprehension is better than that.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I didn’t say the posters are immature. I said the desire is. People are more than one thing (thankfully for them).

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    It’s cute that you think that would make a difference. But anyway, it is not like I was complaining about just this thread or only threads I have posted, and while Matt Colville videos are the perfect example of this happening, it is not limited to them, but just tired of the fairly immature...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    It would be nice if a Matt Colville video could be shared even once on here without it becoming about how people don’t like him or his delivery, and focusing on the topic instead, which plenty of people also do, it is just that it seem pointless that the same people always come in to say how...

    D&D 5E (2024) Non-Human Party - Campaign help!

    There is an old Dungeon Mag adventure called “The Wayward Wood” about a forest that is literally marching out of its usual spot. Part of the way I incorporated it into the campaign at the time was that the place the forest was headed was a swamp. The PCs had a circle of the land Druid among...

    D&D 5E (2014) The books I used for 5E game prep this week (in pictures) [+]

    This thread has a very simple premise. I will be posting pics of the books I consulted for the upcoming session(s) for either of my D&D 5E games. We only play each of these games every 3 to 5 weeks and I tend to prep enough for 2 to 3 sessions at a time, so this thread won't necessarily be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Most Used 5E Rule Book (Besides Core Books)?

    1E DMG. ;) But to answer the question as asked (and anyway, the 1E DMG is still a "core book" even if not a 5E book), I guess Flee Mortals! But even that, I have not used very often, or used anything in there as written when I have. Some of my players have subclasses from Tasha's and...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    The only time I have said no to trying a game with friends is when I have tried it already and really didn’t like it and felt like everyone else would have a better time without me there. There will be other nights!

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I am sympathetic to this and understand the difficulty of scheduling (as a matter of fact I am about to propose a schedule change for my group getting together tonight). I am in exactly the same position (spouses not interested in TTRPGs, including mine) but we find a way to make it work. And...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    Yeah. I had to stop watching those. I think that watching multiple hours of anyone extemporarily talking naughty word and getting frustrated with their audience's repetitive questions and assumptions would lead to eventually getting annoyed with things they say or attitudes they express, even if...
