    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Warlord we certainly dont need another magic something (though I'd be fine with the Warlord having Auras that I can pretend are rallying cries and signals)

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    I agree, his dramatic work is good and he's shown comedy timing in GotG. Dwayne has largely taken the Arnold/Stallone route of playing the same character as its own Brand regardless of movie. and while I appreciate the athleticism WWE is as much about professional theatrical productions as...

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    assuming ww2 timelines are the same its been 80 years since the Nazis won, camps are likely historic. I'd be interested to see how the non-white community gets on with their own lives - but then I realise that for the US and similar nations, that history of strictly segregated populations...

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    yeah a cameo from the Sons of Liberty and knowing where the People of Colour were would have been good when chasing Leota, Keith Smith reported "One got out", but we never learn out of where?. Maybe they could have scripted it as Leota getting caught/arrested by Keith and then Chris teaming up...

    Iconic Keep on the Borderlands image an homage to Sleeping Beauty?

    personally I always thought the Disney castle looked more like Alcazar de Segovia or maybe Hohenzollern, especially with all its towers

    TTRPG Inspiration from real world nature, geography, etc

    I have done a Copper dragon lair/dungeon based on the Antelope Canyon - creating a dungeon full of light and prismatic colour

    Iconic Keep on the Borderlands image an homage to Sleeping Beauty?

    I dont see any connection except that both are castle on a cliff at sunset ...

    What Do You Think Of As "Modern TTRPG Mechanics"?

    Yeah I tend to agree that modern tends to refer to mechanics that allow for abstraction rather than task focus. Narrative approaches, event-based (v taskbased) resolution, player led world building/questions, advantage and bennies etc

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

    TEAM LAKE - SHADE-9 - .umm?.. Shade-9's optics narrowed as he focussed in on Aywin and the Lizardfolk chieftain, taking note of the subtle movements and microexpressions that might give clues to their intent. He had not expected Aywin to be so blatantly demand that the Lizardfolk leave nor for...

    D&D General Stop Yapping, Start Playing: Trimming GM Descriptions

    sure except that player 2 and 3 have both taken additional actions that give the DM a chance to add additional information focussing on the stained glass window "as you pull out your tools to start cutting out the windowframes you notice that the stained glass depicts the story of the fallen...

    D&D General Stop Yapping, Start Playing: Trimming GM Descriptions

    The single heavy oak door opens to a broad stonebuilt chamber with heavy tapestries against the walls and a twin row of six pillars leading out to an archway on the other side of the room. The air is crisp, carrying the faint tang of incense, while dim torchlight throws long, shifting shadows...

    D&D General Stop Yapping, Start Playing: Trimming GM Descriptions

    The Grand Hall overwhelms with the scent of old oak, bitter wax, and a hint of lavender drifting from a marble vase. Stained-glass scatters a kaleidoscope of light across the mosaic floor whose beasts and vines seemingly writhe challenging you to enter. Aspects: 1. Heavy with Old Scents, 2...

    D&D General Games Economies

    Personally I like the abstraction of Wealth mechanics where things are purchased via rolling Wealth v DC and Lumber Mill and Trade Route are Domain Assets. The Bastion system could have been so much more if they had gone more in that direction. Its easy enough to convert dungeon treasure to...

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    My first thought was some kind of 'stepford wives' set up, especially with Hardcourts character being the perfect girlfriend. But then Blue Dragon was a clue too

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    yeah I guessed that the name Blue Dragon while being the national hero was also a big nod to the KKK rank, but going full swastika on the flag was a little too blatant. I didn't expect the Trio to be sent in against a Kaiju, nor the cameo and I too have discovered new genre of music I hadnt...

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    For dexterity you are delicately running you fingers over the wall, feeling for any unexpected depressions or grooves that indicate a possible join or pivot. Charisma is either interogation or possibly looking for social clues in howca room is laid out to notice anything unexpected. That might...

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    Eleanor was the administrator of England while Richard was off on the crusades - its going to be interesting to see how Johns rebellion is going to play out in this story. It would certainly help with the 'Game o Thrones' angle
