What you want to play is Castles & Crusades it’s what everyone that wants to play DnD but wants it ito be slightly simpler and different wants to play but never does cause it’s old as dirt and people want new, but if it came out now, without all the decades of support it has and all monsters and...

Just for fun, next time one of my characters falls I’m gonna say, “you’ve fallen 13 feet, roll 5 times the square root of 13 divided by 4 d6s for damage” with as straight of a face as I can manage.

I didn’t read all previous posts, but minor illusion being a cantrip warps society as much as any thing. You’d live in a world where you could trust absolutely nothing that you see or hear because some jerk ass 1st level bard might be in the area.

This is crazy, would have thought much lower, there’s a lot of people there, but it’s huge, and no part of it (that I’ve been to) ever felt remotely densely populated. And for what it’s worth, I think Billings, MT wins for most middle of nowhere place in the continental US. It has a population...

if I was gonna use music to guide my next campaign, it would be the entire monster magnet oeuvre.

Very traditional but….

It produces the sound of a handbell, at the exact loudness of a handbell, everywhere within the 60 ft radius. Outside that radius, it sounds like a distant handbell. A normal handbell produces the sound from a single origin point, dissipating from that point. Alarm dissipates from all points...

I thought they were going to move away from giving monsters spells and instead give them spell-like powers, guess not.

A BBEG that’s a Vampire or Rakshasa seems like would fit here. Edit, saw later posts, you definitely want a Rakshasa.

The student copy makes it clear she was posing in front of a Yes album cover.

I got a new sectional for my basement tv room, and it is Cozy Good.

While I can’t really argue with some people are bad, some are good, and some are just people, a bland statement approved by a dozen for it’s meaninglessness, I was just in the mood caused by the person I earlier posted about earlier yesterday. And the fact that 20% of women, and 5% of men self...

I’d like to run or play in an epic 1-20 Sword Coast end times mashup of SKT, HoDQ, RoT, and Acquisitions Incorporated bringing in some elements from MT Black’s Vol. 1 & 2 sword coast stuff. Super high stakes all the bad things happening. Maybe also add in some stuff from the DnD Beyond...

A huge number of people, famous and not, are much worse than you know.

You were eating pasta with a really wide noodle.

Lore is essential to understanding a monster or a setting. But in a DnD core rule book for a system where there are innumerable settings, lore about orcs, goblins, or even humans, who appear in all of those settings, can’t be all that useful. I’ll take specific lore where ever I can get it...

At the risk of (re)opening an “is pizza a sandwich” debate, that is 100% an open faced brisket sandwich masquerading as a pizza. Also, just for fun, open faced sandwiches are not sandwiches, they are extra large canapés or a bunch of crap on bread, or some dumbass thing someone wanted to make...

Anyone on the fence about Neil Gaiman was very very wrong. With explicit details: https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html No paywall: https://archive.is/J31rj#selection-1423.0-1427.93

I’m all for monsters not following normal combat rules. Like give kobolds unlimited reactions to c###punch on enemies at least one size larger in melee with a 1d4 to halt attacks on them, whatever. I like the idea, but in practice leads to tedious rules often. But kept simple with surprises...

Gerald Ford Killed by Wolves is probably the one I laughed the most at the time.
