Wow, yeah, I think if I were the DM at that point I'd be saying, "Fine, you run the next session." You definitely need to discuss this or it's just going to disintegrate. -The Gneech :cool:

Captain Kirk was a big ol' grappler, and he was never boring. Undignified, maybe. But not boring. -TG :cool:

Give 'em a pocket healer NPC companion. :) -The Gneech :cool:

Talk to them about it. If that doesn't work, run the 1E Tomb of Horrors. Let 'em hack and slash their way through that. ;) -The Gneech :cool:

Glitterdoom is good but not awesome. Most of the others I've seen so far were competent but unremarkable. Alea Publishing's "Gift of the Gnarled One" is very good, but very short. I'd like to see a full-length adventure from this team...

"A successful hit always does at least 1 point of damage" was explicit in 3.x, and I think it's a good guideline. :) -TG :cool:

Yeah, I'm going with lemon curry. Flavor text is great, but for me it's something to look to if I don't have an immediately better idea. I reskin the heck outa stuff all the time ("You want to play a bugbear? Go for it. Build it mechanically like a half-orc..."). But if there's a question...

I love good adventures and always want more. Sometimes I run them straight as written, sometimes I leave 'em on the shelf, sometimes I kill 'em and take their stuff for another adventure of my own design. Also, I don't get the idea that 5E has somehow "failed" in the adventure department. Lost...

Things like Kender and Warforged should be in world supplements anyway, not the overall DMG, unless they were doing an appendix that had all the playable races for Dragonlance, Dark Sun, Spelljammer, Eberron, Ravenloft, OA, etc. It's certainly not the case that WotC can do no wrong, but it sure...

So far pretty much RAW, but we've only just started with a new game system. Hacks will come as the need arises, I'm sure. My players tend to want their special snowflake status. ;) -The Gneech :cool:

I could scan my notes if you like, but they might not make a whole lot of sense to any not-me people reading them. ;) You can see the players' map here: Gneech's Silver Coast Homebrew The hexcrawl itself is not a one-sheet, there are one-sheet minidungeons on the encounter tables. For...

Well, y'know, there are lifestyle costs RAW. Those eat gold pretty quickly, especially if your PC doesn't have a "day job." If the DM isn't charging your PC lifestyle costs, but is still giving out baseline treasure, then of course you'll have lots of extra money. I'd be rich if I didn't have a...

Using Lost Mine of Phandelver as a skeleton, I've basically statted up a hex crawl for the region, with a bunch of one-sheet style encounters which could appear anywhere as random encounters, and I'm slowly building out Wave Echo Cave as a Moria-style megadungeon. After umpty-ump years of...

So turn the tables! Have your ogre shove the dwarf into a barrel (etc.). Players learn by watching what the DM does. :) -The Gneech :cool:

YOINK! Thank you very much! Into le toolbox it goes! -TG :cool:

Nice, jrowland! -TG :cool:

I like it as a source of ideas, maps, neat images etc., but I would never run it straight as written. Too much noise! This is a world where everything is huge and epic and exploding and levitating and glowing and zapping and conquering. This is not a world people actually live in. My current 5E...

Welcome aboard! I like the sig. :) FAVORITE: Feeling "welcome" in D&D again. (I shan't say more to avoid edition warring.) DISLIKE MOST: A few items are TOO simplified. Whips, for instance, have become pointless without the ability to trip. -The Gneech :cool:

Assuming, even, that they do. They may not have decided yet. They're currently working on books! -TG :cool:

In my case, it's RP purposes. My character is intended to be a perpetually-youthful gawky teenager wielding a comically-enormous sword. Humans are too big and brawny, while elves too "mystical." Half-elves, for this character, are "just right." -The Gneech :cool:
