    What are you reading in 2025?

    Sorry to hear that. Triage and self care as priorities then. When I was going through some medical complications last year I cut down to just 40K short story anthologies and then the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and then Girl Genius graphic novels. Stuff that I had the bandwidth at the time to...

    I am not particularly skillful at the intricacies of FG but I ran a 5e game on FG with pathfinder 1e modules and it went well for me. The maps came across fine, the descriptions came across fine and the monster tokens came across fine but the pathfinder monsters and NPCs and items with...

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    Closest I can see is charisma aiding another, telling them they got this and encouraging them so they get advantage. If everyone has an eight it doesn’t help mechanically but if anyone is better it mechanically in essence gives you their roll bonus.

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    I felt that the mechanic of any alignment clerics and taking out the loss of powers for violating religious precepts in 3e was hugely impactful in making things shades of gray compared to most other D&D.

    Any thinking on why BK wanted Hermit as the eye host? It was sure to tick off Wendy, possibly to the point of her wanting to kill him. Was it just spiteful malevolence?

    Wasn’t Hermit in the cage with the kids and Morrow alone earlier? Seeing Hermit in with Morrow threw me a little.

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    Dex would be the most logical sounding to me of those three. Running your fingers across possible seams, checking out whether sconces turn or books in a book case don't come out because they are actually mechanism levers, seeing if any bricks or stones move under pressure, that sort of thing...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    I can see changelings in particular leading to bad experiences in play. I find warforged and shifters very evocative and have great potential and players have played reskinned versions of them in my homebrew campaign to great effect. Changelings and the psionic people are aspects of Eberron I...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    In the 3.5 core setting book it is mentioned a few times but not hugely emphasized directly to start, more implicitly. It gets more explicitly fleshed out in later editions. From the 3.5 Core Setting book Page 249, the very beginning of the chapter on An Eberron Campaign: "The world of...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    Noir does not come as naturally to me either. I find the other half of the Eberron tone, pulp, much easier to do. I just imagine how Indiana Jones I can make a D&D session feel and I have done that a bunch and find it fun. The closest I come to noir is probably Cthulhu type urban...
