As of yesterday (and for the first time since I started painting minis in earnest in 2020), I have painted every single mini I have to be painted. Sure, there are things in a giveaway box and a some stuff to be broken up repurposed for crafts, but in terms of every mini intend to paint and...

Bogs and Bullywugs. Maybe Lairs and Lizardfolk. Dungeons? A lot As for dragons, about one per campaign. Sometimes 2.

Oh wow. This is very close to how I handle it. I have been hoping to run this again for the first time in decades, but haven't gotten the chance. I want to run it as a campaign (or a post-retirement campaign for characters from one or more completed campaigns), thus allowing for them to be...

This is me with any movie in Spanish with English subtitles. I find it very distracting because I can’t help but critique the translation. That said, as someone with some auditory processing issues and some hearing damage, captions are a godsend when I can’t have the TV at a loud volume and...

Really curious if I am just missing what everyone here is alluding to or if it from a thread/poster I already cannot see. Curiosity is my downfall.

That weird feeling when a thread you are following gets merged with a thread by someone you are ignoring, so it literally disappears but you somehow still get notifications of people reacting to your posts in the now invisible thread.

:LOL:

Yes (though I think it is more like 3d4-1 people). I think I have blocked everyone who has done this to me, even after being told it was unnecessary and kind of rude, but I may have to start blocking more of those who do it to others.

The subtext to many posts: “Here, let me offer a solution to a problem you never said you had but that I have decided is behind every D&D issue, even the ones you are too much a liar or dunce to admit.”

I have it house ruled/clarified but it has never come up. Except for casting one off a scroll one time, no one has taken it.

I have little interest in running the Realms, but these ToCs are piquing my interests, the organization of sections alone makes me eager to read more, and strikes me as a great framework for expanding areas in the future or for use in presenting areas in other settings.

I have wanted to play/run this (mostly play) since I saw the ads for the 1st edition in the pages of Dragon back in the day. The art from the ads alone inspired many features of my old homebrew. But the only time I ever got to play it was in a one-off session run by @mearls at a home con maybe...

Ken Burns Documentary on Asmodeus

Oh yeah, I forgot that we changed that to a reroll of the attack.

I don't really do voices as a regular thing. I give examples to make an NPC stand out and occasionally pepper it in to maintain that sense of immersion, but definitely not constantly and not over the top. I take this approach both as a player and a DM. I think intonation and word choice do a lot...

In my games we play with penalties (Disadvantage) for shooting at enemies engaged with allies (even if they aren't providing cover) and a chance for hitting an ally if they do provide cover. House rules are here: Allies & Cover In Ranged Combat - Ghosts of Saltmarsh We haven't implemented it...

My group has categories like this that they use to describe their HP loss to each other and that I use to signal how injured opponents are, but we used the cure spell categories as they existed in previous editions, "light, moderate, serious, and critical" and used "mortally wounded" to mean...

I only quickly skimmed through other people’s suggestions so I may have missed it, but I am surprised no one has mentioned China Mieville’s Bas-Lag novels. None of the three - Perdido Street Station, The Scar, and the Iron Council - romanticize anything and they are amazing and grim.

I have definitely found more than one Wikipedia infinite loop when researching a topic. You know, the wiki page cites a source that cites the wiki page and on and on. And when you can only find other sources that only cite the wiki page you cannot cite it (unless its in a footnote to explain...
