    D&D 5E (2024) Help With Kitsune Species

    My player had already worked something like this in. He chose as his trinket an amulet which while worn hides the tail through a very minor illusion. Any dispel magic or similar instantly shuts it off for several minutes. He has it for the character background as a Kitsune princess whose family...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help With Kitsune Species

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. I was so deep in pondering how to write them that I had completely forgotten the multi-tails aspect. That is great and I know my player would appreciate it. So this is what I came up with last night. It is based on what PF did but with a couple tweaks and adding...

    D&D 5E (2024) Help With Kitsune Species

    I hadn't thought of looking at the Pathfinder version. Thanks. I'll take a look.

    D&D 5E (2024) Help With Kitsune Species

    Hey all. I'm hoping that you good folks can help myself and one of my players out. My first 2024 campaign is in it's third month now (they are almost 5th) and one of the players initially asked to play a Kitsune since I do have a Asian themed continent off to the West for anyone who wanted to...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    What do you folks put into a AI art generator to get photo realistic pictures? Everything I ever try just comes out looking like awful plastic art.

    What are your preferred modes of play?

    Story and world building is primarily my thing.

    Hot take: get rid of the "balanced party" paradigm

    I don't think it is ever spelled out specifically, but even back under 1st edition AD&D/Basic D&D every group understood that you needed that balance. Other games that I have played, Call of Cthulhu for example, follow similarly. In the CoC campaign I am currently playing in I'm the...

    Hot take: get rid of the "balanced party" paradigm

    This largely describes my DMing/Playing style over the last 40 years. D&D (and role-playing in general) is about becoming part of the world or setting you are playing. Immersion and perhaps less agency. We're here to tell the story that is presented to us. Not rail-roady but linear. Whether the...

    What are your TTRPG Goals for 2025?

    Starting in 2025 these are my goals going forward into the future... 1. Continue and finish my current D&D 2024 campaign. Learn the system so I can DM better and improve going forward. 2. I'm in my early 50's now so I want to get more gaming in. I already do a fair bit of Warhammer 40K but I...

    When Combat Isn't Always *About* Combat

    But in answer to your question, I've run fights on swinging ropes/logs, on rope bridges over cliffs and the like where balance was just as important as martial skill. One Pathfinder game a few years back, had the party fighting the final villain on the back of his colossal dragon mount. That was...

    When Combat Isn't Always *About* Combat

    Back in 2nd edition AD&D there was a Ravenloft scenario that I ran (I don't remember the name) where the characters had to go back into time to recover some magical Faberge egg type thing to stop something happening (again I forget what). They snuck into ancient Castle Ravenloft and recovered...

    How often do you play?

    Weekly. My group alternates Sundays. One Sunday I run my D&D campaign, and the other Sunday alternates being campaigns and systems. My FLGS also hosts one shot nights of D&D every other week, where I am currently converting the 1st edition PFS scenarios over to D&D 2024. If I wasn't getting...

    D&D General What would your "fourth core rulebook" be?

    For me, it would be a D&D 2024 version of this. Ultimate Equipment was probably the most used book during our long years of Pathfinder 1st. It had a large variety of mundane equipment (ignoring for the purposes of this that it had almost every magic item as well) and the really reduced equipment...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I'm guessing I've missed it and running on older edition knowledge, but are rings not limited to two per character any more?

    D&D 5E (2014) Handling Morale Checks

    Wisdom save. Sorry, I played a lot of Pathfinder before coming back to D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Handling Morale Checks

    I remember 2nd edition had a morale score for monsters but I don't think I've ever seen that since. In my case I either decide for myself or if needs be make it a Will save to see if they run.

    D&D General Anyone else notice this?

    The modern versions of the game have to cover opportunities for all potential game styles and that is why it might feel out of touch. All the way back to 1st edition my games have always been more storytelling but without the excessive role-play. Locally we have a group that meets at my FLGS and...
