    D&D General Advice for a new DM

    This is a cool idea. Potion cards that the dm hands out during the adventure when you find it in treasure and stuff. But the dm collects the cards at the end of the session and hands them back out to the players at the beginning of the next session to be redistributed to the players that show...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Merrick grunts as the acid hits him and burns through his clothes. He'd always gone without armour for better mobility. Besides, who needs armour when Fate is your shield? Perhaps, today, would be the day he died. Only the Priests of the dragon had the means...

    D&D General Radiation & nuclear waste

    I have a d20 modern add-on called Grim Tales. It has a whole section on radiation and mutations They rate it in Rads and a hazard is rated in Rads per interval (rounds, minutes, hours etc..) Every interval they are exposed to fallout, they accumulate rads. They make a con (fortitude)save DC...

    D&D General Advice for a new DM

    Welcome! Welcome to DMing. Fudging things is the biggest tool in the toolbox. Fortunately, your players don't know the plot, so you're all good.

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    Charisma search for secret doors is finding allies within the dungeon that know the location and tell you where they are.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I feel like a post-summer-synopsis of what's gone on is in order: (feel free to add anything I missed) Team Infiltrate: Gained some info about the headquarters of the cultists: Learned about a Hydra. Escaped into the sewers and just missed Team Lake by a few moments. The sewers are the lake...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Yes. Thank you. Now I have to go back and reread this thread. It turns out I never played Daggerheart!

    Isn’t it initiative cards? Edit: I’m starting to think that I’m thinking of a different game…. Edit 2: I’m thinking thinking Dragon Bane. Oops!

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I’ve played two separate games of DH and both times I had the warrior class (or whatever it is that lets you keep a card from one round to the next). I’m having a difficult time figuring out how to use that. I’ve been swapping initiative cards with teammates so that I can go lower in the...

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    Sorry, I didn’t mean you specifically. I do see haversacks doled out quite a bit.

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    But needing a bag of holding for a campaign seems strange to me. If DMs are handing them out so players can avoid encumbrance rules, then why play with those rules?

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    In which case, @FitzTheRuke if the Houndsman makes his save vs the Hold Person, I'd like to use my Inspiration to give him Disadvantage. (I think you can use it for that???)

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    But if people aren’t tracking encumbrance why wouldn’t they have it on their list. If those caltrops were the difference between being encumbered or not, it’s a logistical/strategic choice. Otherwise, why not just make sure you have everything on the list. I can think of several things that...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    I wouldn’t think it was a packing mistake. He bought 4 boxes. Presumably one or more of the boxes would have included everything.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    @Snarf Zagyg did Shamal give us inspiration at our last short rest? My character sheet says I have one but I can’t remember if I just forgot to remove it after the dragon fight or if I gained a new one post combat.

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    I came here to say the same Thing. Also the best Prince John.

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    for people who don’t track gear, do you just assume that your character has everything they need? When I played FATE, it was like that. There was no inventory. You were assumed you to have all the tools you needed for your “class” and, if a time ever came up where the group needed...
