    D&D 5E (2014) Reverse Time Combat

    You could try to rejigger this as a puzzle. Design the combat first, rolls, damage and spells and write down the round-by-round events. Cut the events into sections and give that to the players, like a jigsaw puzzle that they have to piece together to figure out what happened, putting events...

    Critical Role Tell me the selling points of Tal'Dorei / Wildemount, without mentioning Critical Role, Matt Mercer, etc.

    This feels like "Tell me about the Star Wars Universe without mentioning George Lucas or the movies/TV show". A lot of the interesting bits seems like it would be interacting with those components familiar from the tales they were used in.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reverse Time Combat

    What about friendly fire? Any reason you wouldn't want a player to drop a fireball on all allies to "heal" them, or exclusively attack each other to get their side's hit points up and not the enemies?

    D&D 5E (2014) Reverse Time Combat

    I'm trying to wrap my head around WHY you want to do this, but it is unique. Might also want to consider expended spell slots/abilities - some or all start expended and when they are "used", they gain the slot/uses back until full. It might be interesting to do this in a form of bidding -...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Yeah, Mearls is just wrong. But I tend to play enchanters anyways, so I just hate how 5E has mauled hold person, charm person and the like anyways.

    WizKids to Release Kraken Figure for D&D

    What's sad is it's just a render (it says so on the web page), so that's not even what you're likely to get.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    You had me wondering if I'd misposted somehow :)

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    I'm tired of switching editions, especially when I'm still enjoying them. I would not/will not buy it when it comes along.

    D&D General examples of high tech stuff in dungeons and dragons?

    Mighty servant of Luek-o is a battlemech/power armor. Tale of the Comet from 2e had an alien invasion, spaceships and space travel.

    D&D General Would a feat be right for the ability to cast/use scrolls? (Nevermind)

    I use older edition rules - to use a scroll, the spell has to be on your spell list. Only exception are protection scrolls, which can be used by anyone.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I like to believe it will be the Pentium 2 edition. Or, as it may be called 5Ex2.

    D&D General Talking Animals

    Animal adventures has dog and cats as player characters. There could possibly also be rats, foxes and other animals but the game only has those as NPCs. My wife has taken crib notes on that for my son's druid. A talking cat. No, not person cursed into animal form, but an Awakened cat that...

    WizKids to Release Kraken Figure for D&D

    Nice find. I do seem to remember that the unpainted used to be significantly cheaper. However, since they have started aiming their products at collectors, the price of everything they do seems to have skyrocketed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk's Unarmoured Movement Improvement & Climbing Speed

    Agree with @Tonguez - the monk can run up/along surfaces, but is meant to end their turn on a horizontal surface or will fall. Those with a climbing speed don't need to worry about it and can just keep going up. The difference would be apparent with the likes of a 100 ft. cliff. Doing a move...

    WizKids to Release Kraken Figure for D&D

    Got the same mini as @CharlesWallace, and painted myself too. I do prefer the squid look of the new Kraken mini, but would like it with more color. It might be worth it for me to pick up if they come out with an unpainted version so I can color it like I want.

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Considering some of the bizarre societies that sprang up in the real world, yeah - I could see it working. (Maybe not for terribly long, but then again...) One of the things I've often wondered is if Goldmoon's mother (or father) might not have been a plainsman or she inherited her traits from...

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    No, Tasslehoff was me when I was 14 or so. I'm fine with Kender as they are because I could relate. And I'm someone who'd never steal or shoplift.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Abeyance, huh, yeah, What is it good for?

    Hmm. Could be useful for any spell that has a range of "self" to bottle it into the bead and give to someone else. Something like Disguise Self or such.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Well, that's not the only time Beholders have been depicted as "cute". Dragon #156, May 1990 But I agree I'm not in favor of that X picture's style.
