Oh crud, that's some news :cry:

That's interesting about rope and manacles in 5e24. Yes, it appears to be more difficult to manacle someone than to tie them up. I also note that now 5e24 specifies that it's a strength-athletics check to burst bonds, not just a strength check. I was always sort of confused whether you...

From a design standpoint, if I were to allow bonus action potions I'd probably make it a BA to potion someone else, still an action for yourself: this encourages teamwork and tactical spacing, forces certain choices like "do I want to go into danger to feed my party member a potion" etc. Plus it...

Yes, the classes in DCC are much more traditional so the sort of things that each is likely to get up to when they have nights to themselves is a lot more on-point by class. The thief+halfling's is actually called the "Larceny Table," the Elf+Wizard's is the "Arcane Studies Table," the Cleric's...

DCC Carousing tables really liven up a game! There's one for most of the classes, I'll post the generic/warrior one here: Obviously you need to adjust things as necessary, but it can make a night out a lot more interesting. Also a lot more costly :'D

Did they finally add the ability to regulate what content is available to PCs making characters in a campaign? It used to be that you could just choose what you were sharing with them, but if they had the books you couldn't disallow any content. If so, cool! But I stopped using DnDB some time...

The trouble is that I don't balance-check every option in every 1pp/3pp book that myself or my players pick up. When making characters my players do check with me if there's a new book/class/feat/etc that they're looking at playing, but even if something raises an eyebrow I typically don't want...

My potion house-rule with WotC 5e was that you could swap out an attack for drinking a potion- this gave martials a boost. When we switched to A5E, I dropped that house-rule because A5E has a martial maneuver called ?Quick Drink? that allows bonus action potions, but it costs exertion so it's a...

I like a lot about LU A5E, in fact the best part was when we first switched to it and broke from all the horde of 5e content that had built up. "Just use these core books!" But now we've been playing A5E for 2-3 years, and we've built up our trove of supplemental A5E 1pp and 3pp content.. and...

+ Items may be a complication but for whatever reason it was never an issue in our minds. We knew lower AC was better, and this magic ring gave you a +2 benefit, so it lowered your AC by 2. Weird, I'm sure, but it made perfect sense. However, iirc even TSR thought they should change AC to...

Oh ha wow, the earlier comment had said that there wasn't a lot of exposition- or maybe I misread it and there was a lot of exposition but it was all presented by the players?

Where do you get DND monsters for WHFRP? Do you make them or do you have some useful resource? And how did you land on using whfrp for DND adventures?
