    D&D 5E Accidental cheating due to forgetting action economies?

    So I've noticed a lot of this at my table: Players that switch characters and classes often between games don't read and re-read the combat sections, and sneak in extra actions until someone catches them. I don't think anyone's doing this on purpose. Most recently is the TWF bonus action not...

    D&D 5E Why is the pike 18 lbs?!?!?

    Okay so I just realized an NPC in my party is encumbered because their pike, which is a maximum of 10 feet long, weighs 18 lbs. Googling says an actual pike at maximum length (25 ft) weighs 13.5 lbs. Doing the math, the D&D pike should be...33 feet long!?!? What's the deal? And what does this...

    D&D 5E Enforcing theme/structure by saying NO to players

    At our table, when we alter/remove races and classes for a specific world setting, we have a player that complains that everything isn't available, and doesn't like restrictions. I am not a fan of shoehorning something in just because a player wants to play it, and neither is the other DM at...

    D&D 5E Would you buy a Southlands Campign Setting for 5e?

    We already have Southlands Heroes (where are the promised monsters? they should have been here by now?), what about the campaign setting? Would you buy it if it was converted? I know I would.

    Selfish playstyles and other newer issues with the game

    So, I've been playing D&D for about 20 years now, since early in 2nd edition. Over time, I've watched the game evolve, and played with different groups. I have to say, I'm having a hard time these days. Every release of the game, I've tried to be optimistic about it and push through even when...

    D&D 5E If you use Group Initiative (like my group does), why do you use it?

    Pretty much the topic. We're using the DMG rule for group initiative and have found that combat goes much much faster, and we coordinate better as a team. It also makes more believable behavior from the other side. If you use it, why do you use it?

    D&D 5E Computer/Mobile programs that allow custom races/classes?

    Hi, I have Fantasy Grounds, but it's really not meant for an in-person game, and we have custom races/classes in one of our D&D games. What are my options for something where we can add custom races/classes/data without programming? (This would be a bit cumbersome with Fantasy Grounds)
