Don't you still have to clean dust off the heatsinks occasionally?

I'm not entirely clear what the value of the 6th level Sylvan weapon feature is. You turn into a tree as an action, but there's no listing for AC or HP, and I can only assume it takes an action to turn back from a tree into a a weapon. What is this good for? The space restrictions make it...

Wow, this looks really cool so far. I'm going to go buy it on the DM's guild now. I have a campaign I'm planning that this would work well in. I suspect it'd be best for someone who doesn't care so much for the tactical aspects of the game. All you have to do on your turn is cast a spell or...

Cell phones have, but computers? Not really. Graphics get a bit better for high end computer games I guess, and if you want to run AI toys you have to have Win 10 because they didn't program them to work with 7, but PC hardware speeds haven't gone up by a factor of 5-10x in 10 years like they...

In the US, the average age of cars is around 12.5-13. My pickup is at 20 years and almost 280,000 miles. We only buy Toyotas because they last. I'm going to keep it as long as I can... the newer cars with touchscreens and all the extra internet-connected stuff are just loaded with more...

My complaint with VTTs is the lack of the face to face/IRL human interaction that lets me build relationships with real people. Videoconferencing is not a substitute (although it's better than a phone call for sales work). I guess a secondary complaint would be "My prep has to be more than...

Around here (rural area) it's a very small number. I can't remember the last time I saw a mask... probably at the airport last month? I expect there's a lot of variation here depending on what nation, region, etc. you're in. A lot of face to face activities saw a falloff in 2020 and have...

Yes, I use it to incentivize NOT going to 0. It works reasonably well.

Have you looked at the review of the prehistoric setting posted a few months ago? I think it was Planegea but my DuckDuckGo-Fu is failing me currently.

I do, so that nobody can accidentally see my notes, map printouts, etc. It's also a good place to put little folded initiative tents (cut up 3x5 cards) showing who's going in what order during combat. I tried having player-facing text on the front of the DM screen, but that only really works...

That's a good enough answer, thanks! :)

How kid-friendly is it content wise? I think my boys would like Saltmarsh, but apparently there's some stuff with cultists and a few other things that are probably not appropriate.

I'm running a Baldur's Gate II game right now. I'm adapting all the +X% magic resistance items as +Y to saves vs magic. 5% magic resistance gives +1 to saves vs spells. +50% (Carsomyr) will give +10 to saves vs. spells if they ever get it (and if they can convince a Paladin that the group that...

Time and logistics. I have two kids (family D&D game Saturday afternoon, 1-2 hours at a time). My in person group meets Sundays 6:30pm-9:30pm because that's all we could carve out. I've had the same group sequentially, but with most of the players rotating out / in due to RL, for the last 5...

What's the use of a digital art book? Here are pretty pictures on my computer? You can't hold it up to show it to your players, you can't put it on the coffee table, and the only way to make it a desktop background is to screenshot it. Like... I'm not sure I understand what this type of...

That is some really nice art. It costs 2.50 GBP to send a letter? That's around $3-$4 (Haven't checked exchange rates in a while).

I have run some fairly successfully on GITP, and participated in some that have succeeded. Don't expect to run a 1-20 campaign in PBP within a reasonable timeframe. Especially if it's your first time, pick a module with a defined ending that can be reached in a reasonable timespan, like 2-3...

Hunter's Mark, the class. Seem's like the 2014 Ranger with Tasha's Beastmaster fixes is probably better (especially since I fixed Favored Enemy to give +wis to damage against FEs from level 1).

Because Moradin hates goblins and kobolds.

Knight is a social status even today. So was Samurai, and so was kshatriya. "Martial artist" would work for monk, as martial arts almost exclusively refers to unarmed combat, but D&D's monk/martial artist is very wuxia in terms of slow falling, running up walls, deflecting arrows, etc.
