Some of the players in my game have expressed interest in having critical failures in the game. I will admit it is fun when the enemy rolls a natural one and things go hilariously bad for them, but the fact is that critical failures are far more devastating to player characters than to monsters...

Okay. I understand where you are coming from. And I think a great many others also now understand. But it is not just Black and White. Either all propaganda is okay or no propaganda is okay. In the real world there are shades of grey. So some "propaganda" is fine, even in kid shows, and some is...

Yeah, no. You have this backwards. What if D&D came out and said, "we're no longer going to exclude images of blacks in our gamebooks." Now how torn do you feel?

It seems in the world today that there is a greater inclusion of LGBTQ characters in all forms of entertainment. Movies, TV, books, songs, and RPGs. That's all good. However there has been some who argue (myself included for a while) that the inclusion is forced into the story and is not...

Sure, not all campaigns lasted to high levels in AD&D, but they didn't just assume that you wouldn't. They left the door open for high level play. Gygax and his group certainly played to very high levels. That's how we got Mordenkainen, Robilar, Tenser and all of the others. They were just high...

This is a new thing. And by new I mean last 10 or 20 years. :) The fact is, if you are still playing with the same group, there is no reason you can't break out your previous characters and start playing them again up to higher levels. It just takes a DM that is willing to create a campaign for...

Mindra continues to engage the enraged goblin, but knows she can't dodge forever. Rapier attack against Ralix.: 1D20+6 = [6]+6 = 12 1D8+4 = [6]+4 = 10

Obviously the most logical way to do it is like Order of the Stick. The more damage you take the more red lines you get. Once you get so many red lines you are out of HP you get 'X's on your eyes and you are dead. Healing magic removes red lines. Doing it any other way would be silly.

Mindra far prefers fighting with a partner, but Coriana is hurting and the others seem intent on casting spells. Hoping that Liam's sheet of flame is enough of a distraction, Mindra darts in to stab at the goblin leader. Not sure where Liam is. If he is close enough to threaten Ralix, Mindra...

Bigby 20 Hands off Bigby! When you are in trouble, who's spell is always there to give you and Hand? Bigby should win. Hands down. Mordenkainen 19 Otiluke 15 Tenser 20

As Mindra watches, Coriana kicks in the door and Theremin drops all of the visible goblins with a spell. Not wanting to let her new friend to face their enemies alone Mindra drops her bow and races after Coriana, pulling her rapier as she goes. Seeing the pirate woman engage the larger goblin...

Bigby 22 Gord 8 Leomund 10 Mordenkainen 21 Otiluke 18 Tenser 23

Mindra isn't the kick-in-the-door type, so she will wait to see if Coriana is successful and be ready to back her up.

Bigby 26 Gord 20 Leomund 25 Mordenkainen 24 Nystul 9 Otiluke 21 Tasha 12 Tenser 26

Mindra will follow after Coriana to back her up.

Bigby 28 - There's blood on his hand, but he still manages to keep his hands from getting dirty. You need to respect someone with that kind of first hand experience. Gord 25 Leomund 25 Melf 6 Mordenkainen 27 Nystul 17 Otiluke 23 Robilar 8 Tasha 22 Tenser 25

Mindra takes aim at the shaman and has a strange impulse to point her arrow away from him. Shaking off the feeling she refocuses and lets her arrow fly. Wisdom save: 1D20+4 = [10]+4 = 14 Shortbow attack: 1D20+6 = [15]+6 = 21 1D6+4 = [5]+4 = 9
