I always ran it as "oh it's an action to remove an item, sure," and that's sort of made light of any other storage option.. until the Haversack came up in a treasure roll, and the player wanted to know why this was supposed to be a better item than the more common bag of holding- which got me...

Compare 5e's Bag of Holding to Handy Haversack- the Haversack specifically calls out the ease with which you can access items within it, which leads one to believe that the BoH really isn't meant for quick access. Unfortunately 5e doesn't state this under BoH (and neither does A5E)... you need...

One strength of a lot of VTTs like FoundryVTT is that they'll autocalculate weight. It's very nice, because with IRL tables we never bothered. I've just had to make sure the players are actually setting the items in their VTT sheet inventory to "carried," cuz the default is "not carried" 😆!

Love the art for Ignitors and Magic in the Blood, very evocative.

I did a bunch of adventure locations (check out Michael Prescotts Trilemma Adventures, he has all of them free on his blog), it works very well.

You can absolutely have varying levels in a party in 5e- it actually works kind of better thanks to the flat math. I've done it with West Marches, lots of others have, not to mention the fact that Adventurers League has characters of differing levels. The table just needs to know that stuff...

Hoard of the Dragon Queen was the first one right? Then ... Tyranny of Dragons was the higher level follow-up? Or was Tyranny of Dragons the combo adventure they put out a few years ago? Or was that called Tyranny of the Dragon Queen? I remember they combined titles for the combo reprint. I get...

I will say that this heavily depends on the GM- some folk would rather have to come up with reasons for random encounters and reaction rolls on the fly, and build that part of the faction/dungeon story as they go. Why is there a halfling merchant caravan in the middle of the dungeon, or why are...

Because I'd rather run my own setting and pluck inspiration from stuff like Eberron, curated to my own needs.

The 2024 PHB doesn't give any penalties for not sleeping, except that you're not going to gain the benefits of a long rest. edit: I see other folk giving house rule answers, and from Xanathars, etc. There are a number of ways to handle not sleeping in 5e! I think Xanathar's is a good one and...

Is this published somewhere?

I still go back to some of those if I need inspiration!

Godspeed to ya! I'll take 3) Magic Items and 1) Archetypes for 4(00), Alex. (oh we can only vote for 1. done!) ADHD meds vary from person to person, as far as what works for whom and to what efficacy. I've been through almost the whole range, stimulants and non, adderall XR seems to work best...

What're the differences between the 5e version and ToV version?

Oh hey I missed this one- adventures, huzzah!

Re: multiclassing it really depends on what you want out of it. I hate the splash/dips, they're purely for #SickComboz. Multiclassing has been with us for a looong time, but I really dislike 5e's way of doing it (to be fair, it was originally supposed to be optional, stated that it wasn't tested...

High end melee characters end up with an AC of like.. 25 or more. So that goblin won't be threatening them, if I understand it right, but on the other hand those high end casters with 18 AC could get hit decently hard.. in fact it'd give a reason to use Shield spell against attacks that hit, if...

Re: mini levels, I did make an incremental advance rule for my dark sun game inspired by 13th Age's. 13A did it per session, I did it with XP, but I thought the idea was neat: Incremental Advances: When you've gained 25% of the experience necessary to reach the your character's next level, you...

You think the primary difference is the names of the gods? I mean, that's a difference but it's a difference that every string has.. I really wouldn't call those the key differences 😅

I'd compare it more to Greyhawk than Forgotten Realms... But I also wouldn't say Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms are super alike.
