This is a bit like what I was thinking. Sure the player is the one rolling the die, but the want behind it is useless. The DM could roll the d4 in the open, but then the players know the success. Otherwise the roll could be assumed to be fudged anyways for the DM outcome.

You could make a chart for rune dice for the player to roll. There are 2d6 minor abilities that he can roll to use 1/rest or proficiency times /day. Gain +2 to attack roll Deal 1d6 extra damage Gain advantage Impose disadvantage on bad guy etc...

It can be a 2nd level spell for you. Not that cool though. You can shorten the casting time from 1 hour to 10 minutes or 1 minute since I do not thing that matters. Not sure this does anything cool though. You can get a unique ability to inscribe a minor explosive rune 1/rest. Maybe it is...

I tend to determine the consequence by the amount of failure. If you fail by a little, then not much but fail by a lot and the trap might go off or the bad guys hear you or spot you. I was watching a video today by someone I have not seen before and he was talking about skill checks and...

I seen it twice and it was ok. Had a few moments of cool abilities and stunts. Not as much subtitles as I expected. Kind of a goofy premise with alien monsters and such, but like D&D just go with it. I recall something about the movie not being able to do certain things or could only show...

When can we expect the 80's Big Hair supplement? 90's Grunge? 90's Country Takeover? Sounds great.

Would you allow the PCs that failed to be part of the group check? I'm thinking yes since he may have failed on his own, but can add something as part of the group. I would still count it as a failure. Not sure if I would group check after one or two people try.

Not that I'm aware of. We have a local convention in New England next month and several members go, but its not like we wear t-shirts with our name and avatar on them.

In practice, the PC with the highest STR already tried to open the door, maybe using Athletics so the door should be pretty hard to open if he failed. Would it be easier to raise the DC check for each person afterwards. Would this offset the math of more people eventually rolling something...

Could one just say to the shopkeeper that I want to play D&D, and then pull out the Shadowdark rules when people sit down. Depends on if it is all D&D. I know most people will mostly want 5e since that is more the unspoken assumption.

Based on this old thread resurrected. - D&D 5E (2014) - Tools for Running Larger Battles Efficiently

I made a basic Word Doc to try and use for a large battle based on the comments on @ExploderWizard and @SkidAce mentioned above. On the second page, I have a Strength/Weakness column that I think would be for guessing the army's power and then compare it to the monsters column to see who has...

This seems a bit off to me. Something more like Oregon Trail is Baldur's Gate 3. I guess it depends on what you think "D&D" is today.

Looks like a good and easy system. Do you roll out the sections with no PCs ahead of time, or does the actions of each round rolling affect things? Is the size of the groups more judgement calls and this is where the modifiers come in?

I could not find anything on telznet Dice. Is this the company or some sort of special dice? Was the Hawaiian shirt DnD themed? That might make me buy one. Last one in only Quasi-DnD themed if Ernie comes with it, but gross. Reminds me of having Lenard Ninoy's DNA.

I did see some more pictures that look to be in the book. Some/all are reused from other books and things. Not sure if this is why the cost is cheap or is the $25 for 167 pages right? Then, this asks the question about the new books and adventure path books.
