    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    I think in addition to some of that folks are suggesting is making healing kits necessary for a lot of healing. I do rant to matter light. Since the central deity in my campaign is related to a brazier image, I do alter light a bit but I really like the idea of the barrowmaze suppressing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    Looking at slow natural healing and healers kit dependency. I like the idea of of being out of bandages and such and not being able to heal up without a restock. One other idea… When it’s my turn to dm, I have a few places where light is less workable as a cantrip. Evil areas like dark…I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    So up front: I cut my teeth on 1e. Loved it. Liked and played 3e for a while: at home now with 5e… I just got (and love!!!) barrowmaze for 5e. I would like to increase the grit in my 5e game for a this old school dungeon. Suggestions welcome save one: I am not running a retroclone nor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with kids game…

    So my kids are playing over Christmas break. They are likely to face the “final boss” and unravel the mystery! A spore Druid warped by zuggmtoy has been spreading a bad fungus and it’s ruining the benevolent plant people! Anyway the party of 4 is on cusp of 3rd level. I could give it to them...

    D&D General Drow as in Cow or Drow as in Snow: Where did the Dark Elves Come From?

    Of course…and why the females were larger…and their skin was shiny pitch black. That is what they became anyway. I don’t know at what point black widows entered the design space…have not read the histories.

    D&D General Muscular Neutrality (thought experiment)

    I was in grad school some yesteryear and had not been eating well… And near passing out my buddy said order this breakfast at Denny’s….Ask for double the meat! I did! And this week I started a med for cholesterol! I think this argues against entropy and for a very strongly lawful neutral...

    D&D General Muscular Neutrality (thought experiment)

    I think th dynamic was tension for most people in the real world is about self vs other. Some animals are lone hunters and are independent. Social animals are different in many cases. While a lone human might survive, our developmental dependence is long. And once established we hunt and...

    Positivity: What I'm doing to combat sexism in TTRPGs

    I am not doing much for the community at large. But I play with my kids which includes daughters. They are powerful and heroic or not…but never “less than” or have less variety of options due to being female. the main powerful threat in their campaign happens to be a female figure…but if they...

    How to Tell a Player, "No"?

    My first thought is this is stupid as naughty word. Then I remind myself I let my kid play an intelligent fruit person. Turns out she has wings and likes to magically make cupcakes. Amazingly fairy fits fine and and goodberry…I mean good cakes works just fine for her plant based ranger. But this is...

    D&D General Just sweeping dirty dishes under the rug: D&D, Sexism, and the '70s

    I really don’t have a problem with the topic of sexism per se. Because of course sexism was a thing. How is that a new understanding? I was a kid playing in the 80s and I certainly heard, probably laughed at sexist jokes or statements that were openly made. I would not do it now. Why...
