"A Wildshape is among us."

Barbarian: big shtick Bard: talking shtick (or shtick in the mud, depending on if you ask a bard or anyone else) Cleric: healing shtick Druid: when is a shtick a snake? Fighter: shticks around Monk: tae-kwon-shtick Paladin: shtick up their rear Ranger: rub two shticks together Rogue: shticky...

Thanks for sounding off, folks! Take your time, I know we're all super busy right now. The game will be here. (y)

Not 5e specific, since it's made for any system, but Trilemma Adventures is great.

Everyone knows a GNOME setup offers maximum RAM.

I think it's one of the strengths of D&D and D&D-adjacent games (d20 leans into wildly divergent results after all), so I wholeheartedly embrace randomness. That said, I think it needs to be applied with a human touch. For example, I have a house rule "Let the Roll Stand" where if you have a...

Just checking in how everyone's doing. Last post in our IC was by me 10 days ago. Everyone just busy? Or waning interest in game?

So Teos @Alphastream posted some BookScan data in Sept 2023... https://alphastream.org/index.php/2023/09/25/how-dd-sells-and-what-it-means-for-the-hobby/ https://alphastream.org/index.php/2023/09/29/dd-5es-top-selling-adventures-and-what-it-means-for-the-hobby/ For example, the DMG has total...

According to its nature / circumstance, with option for PCs to influence that by role-play, spells, checks, etc.

I've done three homebrew classes for 5e – Archivist, Duelist, and Warden – and have a Witch in the works. I'd love to make a Swordmage/Spellblade too, but there's a lot to like in laserllama's homebrew. Archivist – A sage with a focus on lore and language who buffs their party, blending the...

Ah! I remembered a good one that is broadly applicable. Don’t make a plan assuming a specific player will be in attendance with their PC. There are probably exceptions, but I’ve seen this fail quite often when the one player the GM was counting on being there can’t make it. My own solution...

Been planning a new campaign (no time to GM campaign now), and there are Shadow themes so I converted the Shadow Walker as a rogue subclass from the old AD&D Wizards and Rogues of the Realm softcover. It’s part of my effort to breathe new life into the Sea of Fallen Stars region and more unique...

Oh! I didn’t realize WotC was working on a new setting. Did they mention that in the big golden anniversary video or something?

"Never prep for an adventure the same way twice." My motto is not about throwing out what works great for you, or dismissing a procedure like Mike Shea's great advice, rather it's about realizing that each adventure or session has unique needs for what needs to be prepared (including the amount...

Classic. Confusing "player" and "character." Clearly their AI was trained on Reddit's best.

Harbinger House is great, ran it back in my AD&D Planescape days. Totally underrated adventure. I'm running RotFM (Icewind Dale) via PbP and it's a glorious mess. I really like the ideas. There's a lot of overland exploration / site crawling, with mini-dungeons/locations, but the ending is a...

Fun ideas! I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The flavor write-up for the Sorcerer in 5e paints a wondrous picture that, imo, the mechanics fail to really capture. One of my favorites: "People with magical power seething in their veins soon discover that the power doesn’t like to stay...

You would. ;)

Yeah it does. Hope you can get some rest. No worries, I think everyone has been posting a bit slower cause of RL demands recently.
