    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Oh, I do expect that Team Infiltrate and Team Lake will meet up soon. I don't think that I would find it easier to run one humongous group over three. IF all the groups meet up at some point, I would probably like them to split (with a new split, for interest-sake) into two. Two would be fine...

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    I generally have a narrative and some character motivations, yes. I don't always share it with other players, though.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I still mean to get our pace back to something a little more consistent. Please, all of you, do your best to help me. Again, I'd be happy with updates more like twice a week, rather than the (if we're lucky) once a week that we've been seeing.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Infiltrate The elf-cultist had thought himself far enough away and removed across the gap that he had only concerned himself with ranged attacks. He was wrong, as Copper's long legs carried him across the narrow gap and as the elf tried to scramble to his feet, the goliath stabbed him...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake As his people argued, sitting along the banks of the Pit of Teeth, Guldred thanked his allies for their part in sending the Usurper away. He had little prospect to become the next leader (in fact, there was a question of if his order of banishment still remained). He clearly wanted to...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Caves Torhak slowly stuck his knife into the mercenary while whispering in his ear. The mercenary cried out, suggesting his reluctance to continue toward the south, his only reasonable exit, "But I don't know what's down there!" In the dark, Shamal came to his senses. On his knees, he...

    Christmas Songs from the Southern Hemisphere

    I had an Aussie teacher when I was ten, who taught me "Six white boomers, snow white boomers, pulling Santa's sleigh through the blazing sun! Six white boomers, snow white boomers - on his Australian run." That's all I remember. It was 1984, after all.

    Daggerheart Class Packs kickstarter is live.

    I can't really speak to longevity of sales. We tend to get minimal numbers with the kickstarter, sell them, and can't justify getting more. Maybe I've anticipated the drop, but it is more likely that shipping and stuff is too expensive to bother going deeper. I wish Kickstarter was used more...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    They can't, really - it's IMMENSELY DIFFICULT to fit 6-8 encounters into 3ish hours. I'd say impossible, but I hear anecdotally that some people here play like that all the time. IDK how they do it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Of course I have! I said that I'd LIKE It to be different than it is, not that I can't play the way it is! I won't always have the same players show up for the following session, or have them understand the notes they took on how their character is doing, or various other things that would...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    That's my biggest issue. I would like, ideally, long rests to occur between sessions, but I have no ability whatsoever to get 6-8 encounters into a single session. One big one, two mediums or three small encounters would be the ideal for me, and leave "room" for more nuanced roleplaying. (I feel...

    D&D 5E (2024) There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen: Snarf's Guide to Using (and adjudicating) Skills in 5e

    As you've probably noticed (playing my games): I like to ask for rolls. I understand (and for the most part, agree with) the notion that "if the outcome is certain, or there are no consequences for failure, then there should be no roll", but I like rolling. I've also long since decided that the...

    Survey Says TTRPGs Bring Mental Health, Romance, and Friendship

    Every single one of my Tuesday Nighters would answer that they play for their mental health and friendships. And we all started 17 years ago as strangers at my FLGS.

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    I think I've said it before - I generally gave up on writing specifically D&D adventures because I kept getting ingredients that were too weird or too modern. Troika works well. I also did well for myself when I essentially went "Who cares what game this is for!" And started to just write fun...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I know that I started out bolding and labelling where I used ingredients, and after the advice I was given (looks like it was probably Rune!) I stopped doing it and started to try - just that harder - to make them obvious without pointing them out. I DID have a judge miss one once at that point...
