Two-weapon fighting always made more sense as advantage on attacks and/or advantage on damage.

The other way to go with this is not fight it, rather embrace it. I've mentioned it a few times, but here goes again. Short rests are a free action. You can only take 2 short rests per long rest. Long rests take 5 minutes. This takes the fantasy superhero vibe of 5E and cranks it up to...

Nice. Might have to steal that. Always cool to hear about people house ruling the games they play. Especially kids.

It's kinda wild when you put it like that.

Yep. He trademarked the name of a genre he had nothing to do with creating. He did that years ago. Long before the video game.

Anyone big on alternate history novels? I'm looking for stuff where the point of divergence is Germany wins the Great War (aka WW1). I'm aware of Kaiserreich. Anyone have any recs?

According to the purple site, Rob Wieland has passed. Thanks for everything, @robowieland

Depends entirely on the referee. Most seem to have pet skills they repeatedly call for (like calling for an Acrobatics or Athletics check when a character does just about anything physical in the world) and it depends on how they treat social skills. If socials are mind reading (Insight), mind...

Just finished Perry Rhodan #5, Twilight of the Gods. Perry Rhodan and Co get a brain upgrade from alien super science, evolving them and giving them mutant powers. Perry Rhodan gets a subtle hypnotic gaze. There’s no mention of what Reginald Bell gets. There’s a long side plot introducing four...

I did exactly that. The players lost their minds. They couldn’t comprehend it. They kept trying to figure out how they could charge and wipe them out. They glitched out because they assumed everything in the world was prepackaged as a level-appropriate and balanced combat encounter. They accused...

Check out the Dragonbane boxed set. It comes with a solo mode. It's well worth the money even if you don't run it solo. The box is a fantastic deal. Shadowdark also has a solo mod, Solodark. It's up on Kelsey's website.

You can also play "regular" games in solo mode with things like the Mythic GM Emulator. Word Mill Games The YouTube channel Me, Myself, and Die! is pretty good for learning about solo gaming with Mythic specifically. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtiBzkVoYrugJkrpW7_75Ag

A stray adopted us and had a litter of murder muffins in our house. We're beyond full for cats already. Free to a good home. Should be ready to adopt around the first week of November. Too young to be fixed yet. All friendly and used to people. Some boys, some girls. Near Portland, OR...

I think that covers every problem at every table ever. Well done.

Pretty sure it's the board. If there were a dedicated 4E forum, the likelihood of people who hate 4E intentionally crashing every 4E thread would be quite low. As an example, the dedicated 4E discord doesn't have that problem. Note how several of those are [+] threads. That's likely key to...

I will never understand the people who treat game rules as holy writ.
