What some of the others said on healing potions. You can take yours as a bonus action and roll, or as your action and get max healing. This has led to more of the PCs taking their action for max over before with never wanting to do this and not getting to attack. There is less bonus action...

There was also the kid from the WaterWorld movie with the tattoo upside down on his back, if anyone has not still blocked that movie out. I am running the after Icespire Peak series of adventures and in the Divine Contention module there is a quest with ships and they have each ship with game...

I always found the problem was the ship. At low levels are the PCs the main people on the ship or are they just crew. If they are crew, then the players have less agency to sandbox. If one is the captain, then there is ship stuff to deal with which feels a bit like having animals in the...

I first read this and thought about the PCs going into a place and there be a list of prices and what rooms they go to, kind of like a pizza shop with a billboard above the counter. Then I saw the word peak and thought about peak times and flex pricing. Like going to stay at a beach house and...

It seems that the other companies that have 5e stuff also have their own world that said stuff is published for, but is also compatible with the rest. You just need to pull it out and work it into your world. You may also like that world more than your own or an official one. This also lets...

There is an old Order of the Stick cartoon where one of them lives squalid since there is no game reason to spend coin or to not to. I have not eaten in 3 days since there is no penalty until the 4th day. This gruel is fine since taste has no game benefit. There is no Gather Information...

Seems to remind me of something I have seen before.

I find that I get burned out with a campaign at some point and need to end it. Right now my current one is about at that point. I find that I get all excited planning for a new campaign and come up with several things and make notes and then as we go along, it gets less and less until the...

I made a bunch of camping gear that was was quasi magical but could be bought rather cheaply (for PCs spending coin). Things such as sleeping bags/blankets that allowed you to sleep in armor or kept bugs away. Inflating mattress pad that would levitate just off the ground to make it more...

I'm now not seeing how a fighter's basic attack / at-wills are so unbalanced vs the fighter's alpha / Daily powers. What else is there besides action surge that would make the damage so high? I mean they get the extra attacks at level 5/11... but these are part of the basic attacks. Unless...

I'm not sure what the fighter at-will vs. fighter alpha is? It shouldn't be 4e with fighter at-will powers. I'm guessing alpha is the more optimized fighter over what they make modules for.

Is the Egg of Coot a slight at Gygax. I mean is it E.G.G. of Coot towards Ernie G Gygax and calling him a coot. Coot is slang for a foolish or outdated person. Never thought of this before- and never really had a need to.

I like to write things out most of the way for dungeons. I like to have some sense of why it is there and what monsters are inside, and how they interact. I find writing it down helps with new ideas on how the players might overcome things and I can plan for the most obvious. I know that a...

The box the beer bottle comes in is the dice tower. I was hoping that the glass of beer had a built in dice tower so that your beer never was too far away. I see that I can get it in Massachusetts at least. The state doesn't let us have anything cool.
