Totally missed the A5e bit so you've got firearms covered. The druids and artificers bit was just a joke about the actual people of the PNW. Don't forget private enforcers if you want another type of evil faction.

Thanks for the interesting topic. It's fun to think about how to make all these things work together. Looking at your map can I ask that the western bit where you've crammed together Washington state and British Columbia be filled with a group of Druids and Artificers attempting to live side by...

My last new purchase was Strixhaven mid-2022. It was an impulse buy as the reviews I read didn't sound great. Eventually I gave in as I wanted to know. Turns out I should have trusted the reviews as it didn't provide me with what I had hoped. My actual last purchase was 2023. I took Xanathar's...

I've been wanting to get back to D&D and run a few sessions with a new XP system I've had bouncing around my head. I've also got a Summoner class that I've been meaning to give more table time to. Any more than that would be setting myself up for failure since Sci-fi has taken over my table for...

Great to see Riordan is on board and the actors are much closer to book age. If the series does well they won't be 30 trying to play 15 year olds by the end. The one thing I always wish they did with longer series like this is do more than one book a season. Do book 1 with 6-8 episodes in the...

The power up started as a bad guy thing. They would use a bonus action to power up for an ability on their next turn. This was reserved for big stuff like a breath weapon, high level spell, or action surge. In one case I used it to show a giant picking up two boulders with the idea that she'd...

Cool Down Spells: When you cast a spell you cannot cast that spell again for X amount of time. In many ways it is similar to 4e's AEDU without having the same distinct line between spells. It would need to be retuned for table top and D&D style magic, but I don't see why it couldn't work. Cool...

Looks my harebrained idea was similar to yours. After some different attempts I ended up with Armor being its own pool of HP separate from normal HP. Similar to HP and THP in DnD. Every time you take damage you subtract half from your armor pool and half from HP (Armor takes the extra point on...

General shape-shifting in TTRPGs: I want there to be a differentiation between full and partial shifting. Using DnD as an example a Druid wildshaping and the Polymorph spell are what I consider full shifting. The Beast Barbarian and the Alter Self spell are partial. I don't care if a game...

Agreed. I don't mind when a show with 20ish episodes has a mid season break. Taking a break with 8 is annoying.

There are a lot of reasons for shows to be done weekly and I think those reasons outweigh full drop by a lot. But on a personal level I would prefer to get them all at once and watch them at my speed. Shows that drop a few episodes per week are the best. You get the benefits of the binge and...

Bigger =/= badder, but mass matters. I'd prefer to have that advantage when fighting. As for gators, that might be up there for biggest animal any human could realistically fight if they know what they're doing. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about gators as dogs though so don't count me as...

I think my limit is big dogs. The largest breed in the world gets up to 230lb/104kg. That's big, but I'm bigger. They also have some some weaknesses that other animals can't really exploit, but a human can. Just have to make sure you don't let them get on top of you and focus on their eyes...

Somehow, through multiple playtests, I have missed that fact that Topple targets Constitution and not Strength. What an odd choice.

Thanks for coming back with an answer. Guess my mind was filling that bit in. How did you like your rewatch? Anything stand out for you?

My "meeting at a tavern" is starting on a boat that will make port in a day or two*. Whether the characters knew each other or not before the trip they at least have met and know each other a little now. The act of completing the journey to port gives them all a reason to work together should...

It's been a few weeks since I saw it, but didn't they mention the rifts were closed and the water planet survived? I swear it was a line someone said at the end of the film.

Ancestral Barbarian Armorer Artificer Swashbuckler Rogue Conquest Paladin Anyone with Compelled Duel including every Paladin To a lesser extent, but still valid: Anyone with Sentinel Any Barb that attacks recklessly

For 5e based D&D we've been doing point buy. I've tried breaking the habit, but that's what the table wants. It's usually one of 27-point, 27-point + feat, or 30-point. I've wanted to do 3d6 and then let players choose from ability scores/feats/items similar to the draft style that people did...

It doesn't go away. She learns to be part of a team again, but she's still her.
