    D&D 5E (2024) What Monster Should Have Made the Cut?

    Gem Dragons and Eye of the Deep (Aquatic Beholder). The main classics otherwise appear to be there. Hopefully we'll get more books later to fill in other lost classic monsters. Personally I'm not all the fussed by the "class" types... cultist, acolyte cleric...etc. Ditch those and put more...

    Try it now. I put the URL in the wrong bit. Facepalm

    Jurassic Park RPG?

    If you want something for D&D5, I bought the PDF of this a few months back and they have a sequel due to go up on Kickstarter in March. Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    Agreed. Not all their adventure paths were up to standard. A couple were truly bad for things like that. There was one I played (something of fire?) that locked you in a demiplane for 3 or 4 levels with no way to buy or sell anything and it made everyone just gnash their teeth. Badly written was...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    Paizo's adventure paths are not railroads but they are linear. Linear adventures/campaigns aren't bad as they still allow players to decide how they handle a situation and progress the story their table is telling.

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    The only edition that feels anything like 2nd edition was 1st edition and even then 2nd was better by a long way. Since then each edition has become it's own thing. If anything 5th feels like the offspring of 3rd and 4th but without the "bad" elements.

    Jurassic Park RPG?

    I have the three books released for the Primeval RPG (A dinosaur based time travel-ish British show from the mid-00's) and that would work well for a Jurassic Universe RPG. I've often considered doing so myself.

    How likely are you to use D&D for your next game?

    From here on in, I'm with 5th 2024 for my fantasy games. I don't get to RPG as much as I used to so I'm sticking to the new edition.

    D&D General Which edition did Turn Undead the best?

    I prefer the D20/Pathfinder version. The rules are simpler and easy to understand. No fiddly tables.

    D&D General Playing to "Win" - The DM's Dilemma

    I will use monsters and combative NPC's according to their personalities and goals. However, in the middle of a fight I am unlikely to have an opponent strike down a unconscious PC without reason. Better to do that once the combat is over. It's intelligent and fairer for the player. An...

    What is the MOST IMPORTANT skill for a GM to have?

    The ability to improvise quickly and seamlessly on the spot. For high level play this is a must have ability IMO.

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you like the Purple Dragon Knight Subclass?

    I like it but feel it does need some tweaks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    My limited experience is this... if you use it for just 2014 or 2024 then it works fine. If you try and combine the two, it has occasional issues.

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    How would you adapt the lore/concept of the Scion of Three subclass to somewhere not FR? I'm just trying to think how it would work for my own homebrew setting and I'm hitting a dead end.

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    I was only reminiscing about Spellfire the other day to an old friend, after I found my rather dusty copy of the novel in a box.

    D&D General Psychic Sneak Attack?

    Thank you. That is what we went with for the session. Just wanted to check we were doing it right.

    D&D General Psychic Sneak Attack?

    So a question came up in our 2024 game tonight and we weren't sure of the correct answer and we couldn't find it anywhere obvious in the new PHB. The party Rogue just took SoulKnife as his subclass, so he generates psychic blades that deal psychic damage. Does the sneak attack damage become...
