I know some people are putting out full-fledged illustrated books on the DM's Guild, complete with lots of art. Examples include the Hell-themed Asmodeus one last year, the Honkonomicon, and more. At the high end with the right team and a near-guarantee of selling a couple of thousand copies...

I suppose I should answer the OP question. BricksandMinifigs world record attempt $20 [also got 2 lego minis out of it and a nice eyeball d20] Dice for my 8 year old (bday & Christmas, total 3 sets and a bag) about $50 Dice for my 10 year old - Dice of Rolling and 1 set about $50* Minis...

Castle Dracula (combat heavy, each level with XP = to levelup for a 5 man party): 3 to 13 in 23 sessions. Against the Idol of the Sun (hexcrawl) 13 to 20 + 1 or 2 epic boons in about 40 sessions. Baldur's Gate 2 (story/milestone progression with a lot of side trips, not tracking XP at all): 1...

Thank you. I just ordered these, as well as one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YS1S83X/

What are the templates you speak of? I am starting to think that spending $20 or $30 on some plexiglass/lexan spell area templates would be really helpful for some of my players.

I want DND Beyond to add a "Hide 2024 rules" checkbox to the character creation tool. It's making character creation/playing around with bought content really annoying, and confusing for players who aren't as detail-oriented or tech-savvy (I have real life examples).

Paladin still has less magic than a Hexblade. I'd just go straight Paladin with some flavor of undead (Reborn or homebrew, easy enough to do).

For those of us who haven't played WOW, can you give a brief description of what the fantasy of a Death Knight entails? I assume it's some sort of heavy armor undead, but beyond that I'm not sure. Usually a Death Knight is an undead paladin equivalent, isn't it?

Yes, I'm mostly using wands with charges that can't be refilled at this point. Handing out a Wand of Magic Missile 7x/day or Fireball 7x/day or whatever felt like a bit too much.

That works pretty well, but I'm concerned about the interaction with AC. Taking my drow warriors up-thread as an example (with +2 plate/+3 shield and 25 AC), a +10 gives them a 35 AC, making them immune to any spell attack that's not a natural 20 (natural character max is +15 to hit with a tome...

Here's what I used. The statblocks are very abbreviated because I have no plans to publish. BG2 Drow All drow have +10 on saves vs. magic. Drow Adamantine gear: Magic, not immune to critical hits. Longsword +3 Plate +2 (AC 20) Adamantium Shield +3 Elven Chain +3 (AC 16+dex max 2) Light...

I went for a simpler version for my Baldur's Gate II campaign. Every 5% of magic resistance is +1 to saves against spells. The drow mercs the party faced in the Underdark had +10 on saves vs. spells. It adequately simulates the original "My magic isn't very effective!" problem without adding...

Castle Dracula Dracul/Draco/Dragon, whatever. Vampire shadow dragon second form. Against the Idol of the Sun 1. Random encounter as they're crossing the ocean with an aquatic young dragon that climbed onto their ship at night. The group figured out really quickly that he was (a) arrogant and...

Watched a couple of more over lunch time. So far all of them seem to have a theme of loss of humanity, disconnection, and death. The Warhammer 40k episode was the most optimistic (!) followed by D&D, although D&D still seemed like a loss because (Spoiler, if you've seen it you know why). I am...

I feel like I've seen that dark Pac-Man before somewhere. But yes, do not recommend that one. Pac-Man In Name Only. Yick. I don't even recognize some of the other IPs. I didn't see Mega Man yet. I guess the other half drops next week?

That was great! Very well done, recognizable D&D without being too "I shout the names of my abilities." I didn't see a specific subclass for the monk. Druid was probably moon given the wildshaping. Edit: The Unreal Tournament episode was even better.

I found BG1 to be much harder than BG2. Traps are more frequent and deadly, characters have fewer hit points, and characters miss a lot more often. I only beat BG1 once. I have solo-beaten BG2 with every character class, but not TOB. The easiest BG2+TOB party I ever played had no full...

Is it Baldur's Gate I & II, or is it Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I & II? They are very different games.

After 150-something Robot Masters (I don't know anything beyond about X3, but there are at least 3 Zero games and a Battle Network), it's hard to come up with new concepts. Releasing remakes isn't going to get them very far, since you can still play the originals pretty easily, and most of them...
