Pleased to be of service! -TG :cool:

Time for a civil war between Glasstaff and his right hand man! Or bugbear, as the case may be. See also Yojimbo for inspiration. ;) -The Gneech :cool:

I don't want to sound snarky, but you pretty much already do, on pp. 174 of the Players Handbook. As far as I can tell, 5E isn't using the "trap as an almost-monster with a stat block and a CR" model. Target numbers for trap damage, yes, I'd very much like to see. The one thing I really liked...

I have looked into various "Lazy DM" and sandbox-style threads, including the one suggested, and I'm eager to adopt that style, or at least what parts of it I can. It certainly seems like a way to reduce the possibility of burnout! The good news is, with switching to the 5E Starter Set and...

Heh. Some neat ideas there! Thanks. :) -TG :cool:

Not in those precise words. ;) But I have attempted to express my frustration, yes. :) And I think some of them are making an effort, which is one reason I was looking for ways to reward it. -The Gneech :cool:

This intrigues me; could you elaborate? And good suggestions, thanks! Making a note of them. :) -TG :cool:

So, I have a group of passive players. Like, really passive players. Like it's reached the point where I said "Here are three jobs up on the board at the adventurer's guild. Pick one for next week please." And they all just stared at me. It's not unlike trying to run a game for Bartleby the...

5E "short rests" are an hour long anyway. :) -TG :cool:

I let the players rest whenever they want, but I use wandering monsters so it's always a gamble. They're currently 1st level in my new game, so more than one short rest is only of minimal use anyway. As someone above said, "Keep the clock ticking." The world doesn't stop just because the PCs...

That's correct. In 5E, with the exception of cover, AC is AC is AC. -TG :cool:

Go for it. :) You might also want to add training costs in order for them to have stuff to spend those piles of gold on. :) -The Gneech :cool:

I am grateful to Pathfinder for getting me through the Dark Times, and I love Paizo like whoa. But I'll be completely honest here: when I actually broke down and started playing around with 5E, I felt a profound wave of relief. I am so burnt out on the 3.x engine, and the past couple of years of...

Also brilliant! -The Gneech :cool:

Brilliant! -TG :cool:

The good ol' Efreeti-cover AD&D DMG only had 232 pages and covered a metric boatload of stuff, even written in the venerated Mr. Gygax's around-your-elbow-to-get-to-your-thumb prose style. It can be done! -The Gneech :cool:

Ah! My eyes skipped right over that entirely. Thanks! :) Nice work. -The Gneech :cool:

I realize it's not the "direct support" you're looking for, but it should be fairly easy to convert storylines (if not necessarily direct game mechanics) from Mongoose's Conan d20 material or the Lankhmar stuff from Runequest for that good old Sword and Sorcery feel. A lot of Necromancer Games'...

Is it just me, or is the monster list failing to load past "Adult Copper Dragon" for anyone else? -The Gneech :cool:

My mom, no. But I did have a random woman in a library who saw me working on a dungeon tell me it was Satanic. And no amount of actual facts would convince her otherwise. Conversation ended with: HER: "You may not THINK it's Satanic, but believe me, it is." ME: "You may THINK it is, but believe...
