    Would you purchase an expansion, from a different system than you use, to adapt for your preferred system? If yes why?

    I tend to just play the newest D&D. I take stuff from the older editions to use, mostly lore and some adventures. I also have taken maps and dungeons from other OSR systems and might from the newer things like Daggerheart and such as I find them or someone tells me about a rule that I need...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    I view them as just another type of magic, since it creates an effect from about nothing. If is cannot be dispelled I fear that things would be back to 2e days with either not using them or everyone would use them since the modules tended to only deal with the traditional classes. It was the...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    This is where I was reading the thread title. I was thinking a non-caster would be more a fighter or fighter/monk maybe. I keep seeing taking spells and making them 'powers' or 'Jedi mind trix' but to me they are all just spells. So, I'm not sure if there can be a non-caster psion to me...

    Dragon Reflections #98

    Must be very powerful to be around this long. I think the kids call it a 'Boomer' Dragon.

    Marvel's VisonQuest coming 2026

    Already seen VisionQuest back in 85'. If I recall Madonna's song Crazy for You was the main hit from the soundtrack. Be cool if the remake has the same song. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    I find that it is also cool when the bad guy pulls out a potion and drinks it as a bonus action when the PCs just did a bunch of damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    Dying Cap to stabilized Cap. Depends on the Hit Points argument. I also think that there is a lot of skimming over things to make a fantasy game more cool than dying on the Oregon Trail.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    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...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    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...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    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...

    AD&D 1E What is the cost of one night at an Inn?

    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...

    D&D General Has 5e become noise?

    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...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    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...

    Trailer A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

    Seems to remind me of something I have seen before.

    I think it is time for a break.

    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...
