Honestly a large part of me wonders if we are any better now than we were as hunter gatherers. Sure, the individual life lasts longer and we don't die of simple infections. But look at the proportion of humanity living in poverty, without access to water and food. We've made summers hotter and...

Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out!

I'd freeze humanity at the hunting / gathering phase. Farming was probably a mistake.

It'll be February, so shorter days. Weather on the California coast could be perfect or rainy. But I think 4 hour games are a perfect idea.

Hey all! This February I'm renting a cabin near the redwoods in Northern California and a bunch of my old gaming buddies and I are reuniting for a three-night get together. The plan is to hike during the day and play TTRPGs at night. It looks like, depending on the day, we will have between 6...

I think to make this work, the dragon's "Inhale" action also needs to have an effect. Maybe it knocks over opponents (making it more difficult for them to escape), maybe it launched them into the air with no Attacks of Opportunity, maybe it increases magic "static" so that spellcasters have to...

You are literally describing someone having fun.

The real question is who remembers Nutkinland?

The same thing was happening to me all day yesterday and this morning. Using Chrome on a Google Pixel phone.

Yes, absolutely! I always need something extra to manage when I'm a player. I'll ask to run initiative, keep track of group treasure, run some NPCs, etc. I'm usually also doodling what's happening in the game or taking notes.

I really don't think the game is built around an Adventuring Day. Characters do have resources that refresh on a long rest, but DMs are extremely limited in enforcing when or how often characters take long rests.

It's nice to see them reflecting on the last 10 years of D&D and make adjustments based on those. One of the reasons I think the whole concept of the "Adventuring Day" is silly is that 5e D&D gives players, not just the DM, the power over when they want to rest. There are so many ways to secure...

What about an online map-making program like Inkarnate?

My friend Ian, who introduced me to D&D in 8th Grade, showed me the site and I was on it way too much over the summer. I went camping with his family the week before the 3e PHB came out and we would wake up each morning and count down the days.

I house rule it so that flanking gives attackers a critical hit on a 19 or 20. It still rewards tactical movement but doesn't interfere with the advantage / disadvantage system.

Just want to reiterate that people do read books after high school.

I actually think it's a good idea to drop the whole idea of the adventuring day. It's almost impossible to predict how many encounters the players will get through before they rest. D&D is full of powers and abilities to avoid encounters, and players often come up with creative solutions that...

That tonal sketch is gorgeous and could be a D&D illustration in its own right. It's great to see real paint making it into a modern D&D book!

It would be really neat if they released a series of novels based on the world of this TTRPG.
