    Regarding the Life of Threads

    The premature necro by jgsugden from Jan. 2022 caused a terrible rift in the space-time continuum. I am posting from July 2024, but it's showing up in March 2024.

    Regarding the Life of Threads

    And so it came to pass that on the 14th day of the on the 3rd month and 6th year after the birth of this unholy thread did I, AntiStateQuixote, threadnecromancer extraordinaire, bend the laws of nature to once again cause the undying beast to tread forth from the depths of time and threaten the...

    D&D (2024) Do you see Full Casters played at your Table?

    Five of twelve PCs at my table are single classed casters and one is Wizard 9/Cleric 1. Our table likes to multiclass Sorcerer and Paladin (lately). I've also seen a ton of Fighter dips (2 to 5 levels). Table #1 Wizard 9/Cleric 1 Bard 10 Warlock 10 Ranger 5/Rogue 5 Paladin 6/Sorcerer 4...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    Your view of the corporate world does not match my experience. I've spent 30 years working primarily for Fortune 500 companies including the last 20 years as a consultant at some of the biggest companies in the world. Corporations are not monolithic Borg-like entities working to achieve the...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    Kyle Brink comes across to me as a real D&D fan and a senior leader at a biggish corporation doing his best to dance around and say, "We ****ed up," without using those exact words. I heard contrition and embarrassment. And I believed him. After the interview the hosts raised the concern that...

    D&D General How do players feel about DM fudging?

    I hate fudging with a white hot passion. There is no DM screen behind which to roll dice. If I'm rolling dice, then the dice matter. If the game needs a particular outcome, then I'm not rolling dice. I strongly prefer that DMs I'm playing with do the same.

    Regarding the Life of Threads

    You've stolen my schtick AND necro'd this thread 2.5 years early. Damn you! :mad: Now my plans for world domination are set back by 6 months!

    Arise, Dark Thread! I call on you to grant me your great powers over impermanent death and terrify my enemies with dark and potent words from the distant past.

    How often is counterspell used in your games?

    Almost every time there's an encounter with an enemy spellcaster and the party has a sorcerer, warlock or wizard of 5th level or higher. Sometimes multiple times per encounter.

    In our campaign the half-elf eladrin gets fey step (misty step spell) once per short or long rest instead of 2 skills from versatile.

    Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour: The Warlord

    How about Warlord's non-magical healing ability gives options to spend Hit Dice during combat. There's already precedent with the Dwarven Fortitude feat from Xanathar's Guide.

    D&D 5E Misty Step in manacles?

    Your DM is cockblocking you and making you ask permission to have fun. Tell him, "No, that's not the game I want to play," and point him to this thread.

    What're your personal "signature spells"?

    D&D 5E Summon Monster Spell

    1 minute casting time for a 1 minute concentration spell makes this spell nearly useless for combat. If that's what you intended, cool, but if not reconsider either casting time (1 action) or duration (1 hour concentration).
