    D&D General Boosting mental health with Dungeons and Dragons

    Positive story. There should be one now about first-person shooter video games being good for something.

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    One of my favorite Sam principals. I cannot get to 20th level if I do not go to Mordor. Although, I do not thing they were 20th level at the end of the world-spanning campaign.

    Duane Roberts- The man who invented the frozen burrito died at 88. He never patented the idea he had in the 1950s, but was making 80 million in sales when he sold the company in 1980.

    "You meet a mysterious stranger in a tavern." Origins?

    It's common knowledge that PCs do not trust anyone from the 1e days of adversarial DMs, so meeting in a public place with lots of people is needed.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tiers of play, PCs, NPCs and narrative

    I partly think the high level stuff is there to allow for bad guys to have it in order to threaten lower level PCs. Not so much for player to be able to get it. They flavor it for people to take if they want, but since so few get to play those levels it feels that it is only for NPCs. Then...

    My Fingerprinting Woes Continue

    I'm hung up on getting fingerprinted to get your driver's license renewed. Not sure I'm cool with that.

    GMs: What is your prep to play ratio?

    I like to have things more prepped than less and tend to make a module out of my notes. I like to sit down and just have the adventure and not need other books. I liked the 4e book where each encounter was on one page with statblocks and such, so I kept that up and write things out. I likely...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    Am I the only one thinking of this? Works for a construct or maybe an ooze where you 'kill' the big guy and it splinters. Maybe when all together it has sections like the OP is talking about.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    I do not think it is the total number of creatures, but the number of statblocks that are enough different that is the problem.

    Payn does a 7 day trial of MGM+ so you dont have to...

    I had seen the military SAS WW2 show Rogue Heroes on normal Prime and was delighted that there was a season 2. Only to be dashed when I found out that it was only on MGM. I guess I'm waiting for larger distribution.

    "You meet a mysterious stranger in a tavern." Origins?

    The inn/tavern provides a reason for people from all these strange places to be there. Players make up a character and there might not be a lot of backstory, but meeting at the inn allows you to have no reason. The world might even be unknown to you and the DM feeds it as you go, but you...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    I like the sticking to only 3 max numbers. When I run combats with more than 3 monster types it places more load on my brain than it is worth usually. I tend to like easy systems to add. This sounds rather easy if the picky parts like AOE spells and stuff can be figures out without nerfing...

    RPG Evolution: The Rolling Frontier

    Have to do it for all of us 80s kids with the cool computer with the 40 floppy disks we needed to rotate as we played. In my games I tend to never have settlers moving about. I should since that provides many more opportunities. I tend to just have merchant trains or bandits.
