    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and Trap Avoidance

    I don't want anything. I'm interpreting what you wrote and responding to it. It's a lame trap. I agree. I think traps are lame in general. BUT.....you used it. The party responded to it with the tools they had within the rules framework as it is. DMs need to prepare not only for what the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and Trap Avoidance

    You knew what the trap was before the party got to it. You could have either not used the trap or replaced it with a different trap. The party was just responding to what they encountered. If you are familiar with the parties dynamics, you knew that they would have used mage hand. If it was a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and Trap Avoidance

    You aren't splitting hairs. A wise man once said: "Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. You get it? We both have layers" RPGs are complicated.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and Trap Avoidance

    Traps were fabulous in previous editions. You spring the trap, it takes half of your HP and now you are a drag on party resources. Or you have to go back to town to heal up. Now...you spring the trap....you take 10 HP and then you whistle a tune* until you get your HP back. If the trap doesn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and Trap Avoidance

    Traps always seemed very Bugs Bunny to me. If there is no real threat of danger....and i mean, "OMG, I almost died!!!"....it's really just a skill check.* *i'm also not a fan of skill checks.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Books With the Best High Level Monsters

    If the only books ever published ever were monster books...I'd be ok with that. I miss the old monster ecologies from the magazines and wherever they else they were from.

    D&D General Mike Mearls sits down with Ben from Questing Beast

    When i was in my formative years we bought this stuff because the covers were cool. We figured out what to do with it later. All of this arguing over sales and whose in charge of what...it hurts my heart. :( Just play the game friends....just play the game.

    D&D General Do You Use "D&D" As Code For "RPGs"?

    The first rule of D&D is don't tell people you play D&D. How am I the first person to make that reference?!?

    Fifty Shades of Grey is about a street artist that got a really great deal on grey spectrum spray-paint. I may have a future as a Goodreads influencer.

    I was just fact checking the caption. I don't know anything about the source or that Mearls fella. I get most of my game news from @SlyFlourish and occasionally the guys from ghostfire gaming (they yell a lot though). I come to EN world to see how the community overreacts responds to it all. ;)
