Honestly I’m in awe. For you juggling all that, and making it work. For an extended period too. I did check out your profile and it’s clear the players love what you do too. I am really interested in the sociology of the process. I can definitely see players cross pollinating different...

Imagine a convention but it’s every week. I’ve learnt that I have to do a lot of the core admin after the session or before my main job on the morning of the session. Something will always come up that gets in the way. I have a full time job and when I first started the elation of it working...

Hey. So as some will know back in August I took my first steps into paid DMing. It wasn’t something I did lightly but I’ve been DMing for 30+ years, have a theatrical character and believe that if you’re good at something you shouldn’t do it for free. I thought a side hustle might not be a bad...

I think that’s how most of these rules exploits worth. Technically possible but would require some brass balls to square up to explain you are doing them. Even then probably overruled by social contract or rule zero.

Can we call these Kibbles Quibbles?

All pre-published campaigns are a starting point for me not the end.

This will come as no surprise to anyone but I am hotly anticipating the 5th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay! I know how much fun the setting and the style is and some more streamlined (but not too streamlined) rules should help make it more accessible.

It’s not really a review is it. More a list of observations. Things you would do differently due to personal preference. I love realmslore. I love the details. But I do think that it’s important to remember these are all just sources. Some are going to conflict and some are going to be more...

You’re mistaking season 1 Byers for young Will Byers who is featured in a flashback episode 4. Presumably that’s who @Clint_L is talking about… very cool by the way!

Well to be honest the second you place the first price of armor to your body and until the last piece comes off you are wearing armor so I wouldn’t worry too much about it 😉

Yes and no. It depends what you’re using them for. But the essence is that a trap is meant to be interacted with. That’s the key thing. If the trap isn’t interacted with then it’s kinda pointless. 1 The trap has a tell and the PCs are capable of spotting it. This gives the PCs chance to use...

They’ve added extra reasons but let’s be very clear it isn’t genetically impossible. Draconic ancestor is one of the four examples given for why someone might be a draconic sorcerer. I’m all for mixing it up and not being prescriptive. Ironically now folks are trying to be prescriptive the...

Probably best not say what is or is not genetically impossible in an imaginary elf game. Stories are filled with shapechanged dragons siring children with dragon blood. 3e had whole prestige classes for growing up as a half dragon. Sorcerer would probably disagree with you too.

Well that’s a mechanics / edition / balance shift issue not a setting issue. Half dragons have dragon blood, Dragonborn have draconic blood. Dragonborn are just less powerful playable half dragons. Just like tieflings existed to be weaker playable versions of half-fiends. [I know Cambion’s and...

Loads of races in Forgotten Realms don’t have origin stories. Pretty sure I don’t know the origin story of gnomes but don’t really have a problem with that. I don’t understand why there can’t be many different origins stories for Dragonborn same was there are for Aasimar, tieflings etc. not...

Surely it’s obvious there are going to be some that don’t overlap. Why would you expect them all to. It’s a feat. But everyone of them has at least some that do overlap for folks that are pushing for 18 stat. Remember it’s not a given that players take the advanced background feat at 4th level...

I actually will be starting my sandbox Dalelands campaign the same way Blood of Elves starts… The PCs and five or six other travelers from different dales, classes, organizations and races swapping stories at a crossroads campsites. Sharing news of the dales from all directions. Possibly some...

Bladesinger still needs one hand free to cast Somantic components though right? Until they get Warcaster.

I would think most spells an Eldritch Onight would cast in combat don’t have Material Components. Or at least there are enough that the EL shouldn’t suffer.

Andrzej Sapkowski is a great writer and world builder. He created places, political structures, rules for magic, gods, temples, mythology, bestiary and a pretty extensive timeline. Sure it was expanded by the computer games but a huge amount is laid out in the novels.
