The default 5e short rest time is one hour. As a player in 5e games I can't remember the last time we stopped for a short rest. Anytime there is stuff ongoing taking a one hour siesta after a fight always seems like a bad idea, let alone doing it multiple times a day. Either stuff will likely...

I am playing in a game with a system that uses d10s and I could use help on figuring out how to maximize success chances. In the system to use one of my powers I have 7 d10 dice to roll. The base target is success on 4 or higher and I need three successes for the power to activate and bump up a...

I am very familiar with OWoD stuff and I have a bunch of NWoD books but not anywhere near complete lines. I have played a bunch of OWoD games and enjoyed them and incorporated a bunch of concepts in my D&D games but never played a NWoD game or plan to run one but I enjoy some of the thematic...

So god stats for full gods have been in OD&D, 1e, 3.0, and 4e. 2e, 3.5, and 4e had variously stats for god avatars and divine aspects which were projections of gods into a material form that could be interacted with but not the underlying god itself (4e had both god stats and projected lower...

So I was reading OD&D Supplement I Greyhawk and it says thieves can "open locks by picking or foiling magical closures" I hadn't known they could originally open magical closures as an open locks check. So I checked 1e and was surprised to find they can there as well. Page 27: "Opening locks...

I have a PDF of the 83 Greyhawk boxed set that I got from Paizo back when they sold the old edition PDFs. I love the boxed set but the PDF has no OCR. Does the version on DriveThru have OCR? Would I be able to do searches decently well if I bought the PDF a second time? Some of the older PDFs...

The 2014 version had gods who can grant spells and quasi deities who cannot. It also had alternate cosmologies. Any changes in 2024?

So I took an improv class (improv as in Whose Line is it Anyway, not standup comedy) with a theme of improv and RPGs and it was a lot of fun. We did improv games and a fantasy game version of the one-page Honey Heist RPG and then a fantasy themed Kids on Bikes campaign. I was the least improv...

So I am part of a group that is recording their 5e D&D game and the first episode is now on youtube. What is the appropriate forum to post about that in? D&D, promotions, media, something else? Thanks

How long have you been a part of your current gaming group? If you are currently part of multiple gaming groups go with the one you have been with the longest. For purposes of this poll please consider any TTRPG as D&D. My longtime face to face group has rotated DMs and played D&D and...

I am interested in the Mythological Figures & Maleficent Monsters book but it comes in two versions, normal 5e and Level Up. I am trying to decide which to get. I run a normal 5e game and not a Level Up one. I own Level Up stuff from a bundle of holding but have not gone through a lot of it...

In my game last night the party was exploring a tech dungeon with a bunch of abandoned damaged labs with dangerous stuff unleashed inside, but also possible loot and notes the party might want. Each lab was air sealed but had windows so you could see inside and sometimes controls on the outside...

So in my 5e Iron Gods (pathfinder sci-fi stuff in D&D adventure path) campaign the party did an undermining thing and toppled a haunted mobile technomage tower in the wilderness as a timber strike against a nearby unearthed giant killer robot so they would not have to fight the robot. They knew...

I am noticing a bunch of 2e AD&D PDFs that used to be $9.99 are now $14.99 and $12.99, particularly a bunch of Planescape ones.

So in my 5e conversion of the sci-fi fantasy mashup Iron Gods adventure path an AI monster truck demigod that took on a demon persona empowered one of its orc champions with an unholy chainsaw with a phantom demonic chain instead of a physical metal one so that it would not snap on contact with...

It was recently pointed out that the Forgotten Realms map has changed geographically in size in different editions with the size of nations growing and shrinking and the distance between cities and such changing somewhat dramatically. I am a moderate fan of the realms but mostly for the god...

I just started an improv class this weekend with an RPG theme. I had taken an improvisational drama class once in high school but this was the first explicit improv thing I had done in the last 30+ years. About half the class was straight improv games and warmups and the second half was...

Oops. I meant to post this thread on 5e Monsters used in the Dungeons and Dragons forum instead of the General forum. If a mod could move it or delete it I would appreciate that. Thanks.

In tonight's game I used a reskinned 5e cyclops as a mutant Hill Giant, the first time I have used a 5e cyclops. A couple years ago I started tracking which monsters from which editions and from which sourcebooks I have used. The cyclops was number 39 I have used from the 5e Monster Manual and...
