As a player, any tips?

I'm finally going to be playing in a game instead of running one. This Saturday at Knight Watch Games in San Antonio, they're running a "demo" game in hopes of starting up a group. This game has been out a while and I played it once about... oh... 5 years ago or so (?). As such, I know the dice...

We use Injuries (from the DMG) if the target is When it takes a critical hit AND it drops to 0 hit points but isn’t killed outright. This makes them rarer but still nasty if they happen. Also, the target's player gets to CHOOSE the Injury if the roll is a 1, 2, or 3. We really don't like the...

@Kurotowa : What Glassjaw just said. Plus, p air it with the Essentials Kit and you've got enough stuff to take your group up to 12th level, easy. Along with dice, goodies, maps, coupons for DNDBeyond, etc. Really, the two of those together are a GREAT deal! Amazon: Starter Kit Amazon...

Thanks. That's helpful.

Haha! Yeah. I've notice that one person's crap is another person's treasure. Seems to be a recurring theme on message boards.

I'm looking to complete my Pre-Greyhawk Wars stuff and I'm missing the City of Greyhawk box set. So a quick question: Is the City of Greyhawk box set set before or after the Greyhawk Wars? Thanks everyone.

From the thread "An Interview with Lawrence Whitaker," this was mentioned. I'd love to hear more about it. Don't know as I'd ever use it, but it does sound very, very intriguing. I mention this because the one drawback I've had with Mythras was getting others to play it. It was such a big...

Very nice! Congrats!

It's in the Dungeon Master's Workshop chapter under Healing. Healing Surges This optional rule allows characters to heal up in the thick of combat and works well for parties that feature few or no characters with healing magic, or for campaigns in which magical healing is rare. As an action, a...

I'm starting to suspect that he's being deliberately obtuse in an effort to irritate others and amuse himself.

Yah, wasn't a big fan of it either, but I try to stay as close to RAW as possible. After 30 some years of houserules, I keep them the bare, bare minimum now. 99% of the houserules I do have, have been proposed by the players. So I use the Variant Rule from the DMG: Variant: More Difficult...

I had a thing for the LBB Traveller Character Sheets. They were supposed to look like official government forms and did!

Why would they want to use another system? Everyone that has been mentioned is a HUGE fan of D&D. They like playing D&D. Like a LOT if their own comments are taken into account.

Thank you! That's awesome for me to hear.

Groovy. So there's no real lore in it that mentions the Wars. Thanks!

Quick question that my pre-work, hurried google-fu has been unable to answer: Is Ghosts of Saltmarsh set Pre-Greyhawk Wars or Post-Greyhawk Wars? Thanks for any help!

I'd like to see the return of the Fortitude, Reflex, Will saves again. I really liked that application. Not too much I'd like to see return beyond that.

I tend to customize items to fit the group. BUT (I... like big BUTs and cannot lie... er... back to the topic.) But I also like to throw in items that I know they can't use or use well so that they will try to sell or trade them when they get to town. Thus opening up avenues for introducing...
