Nathan's Fries.. I'm not sure what they'd be classified as? I really enjoy sweet potato fries as well but I almost think they should be a different category.

I think LMoP also acquired the (deserved) reputation for being a particularly good starting adventure. Not sure why the others didn't take as well.

Always nice to see that there are folk even more crotchety than yourself.

Oh yeah, HHH is great! For some reason I thought OP was asking for non-mechanical uses.

I never would have started if my wife hadn't pushed me to give it a go after I left my law clerk job! The taboo of pay to play was baked into me at a young age 😆 The fancy stuff is for me really, because I'm running online- like I said, I was already spending $$$ on maps etc for running online...

I think there's a misconception that if you're running games for pay, you're going to avoid killing PCs because you're afraid of what'll happen, that they'll leave the game, etc... but the desire is for the right players to find the right GMs for them- so while they may be unhappy if a character...

Some of us have turned it into a full-time profession, but IME it's definitely more of an exception (I think it's mostly luck, finding people that're willing to pay a high price and value your skills). And like any other entertainment job, it can be volatile (even if they love your games...

Whenever anyone talks "pro GM(ing)" I imagine that they're referring to the paid occupation... but yeah some folk might just be referring to "being good at it."

You're far from the first person that got screwed up by BG3's (many) house-rules.

That's probably worth a discussion thread in and of itself.

I did a brief search. Protective spirits flit around you in a 15-foot Emanation for the duration. If you are good or neutral, their spectral form appears angelic or fey (your choice). If you are evil, they appear fiendish. When you cast this spell, you can designate creatures to be unaffected...

If you've been to conventions, you've been at panels where they'll handle different topics of the tabletop industry- some of those are aspects that a DM touches on, or some of them are flat-out DM-tip panels. At most, you might pay a tad over $100 for a 3-day pass for said convention (of which...

Yeah that's my problem with modern (3e+) DnD- it becomes difficult to run a consistent setting that isn't over the top high fantasy.. but it's a bigger problem (IMO) with 5e because the PCs can punch so far above their weight class even in tier 2, but especially at tier 3 and after. One...

Ha, if you think Tales of the Valiant is bad, don't look into Level Up A5E; I really enjoy a lot of it, but it provides players with WAY more tools and fun bits n bobs- it basically has 3.5e's Tome of Battle built into it; martial maneuvers (all non-casters get them to some degree) can be...

I guess tell them he's not a fighter- he's a warrior! Maybe that's why it was so easy for him to get 15 hit dice :'D

I think they're complaining about the lack of consistency in the book. On the other hand, I guess it shows that they're made by different designers, or they have different themes in which some adventures alignment may be a feature, and others it may not. Or it's just random and inconsistent, I'm...

How does that factor in when figuring the party's side of things? They have a CR 3 sidekick, for example. Does it count as a level 6 PC in the party?
