    D&D 5E Public Gaming: Home brew setting vs Forgotten Realms

    I personally started to pen & paper in a homebrew setting. Looking back I think it helped me focus on the story more and pushed me past any min/max or selfish tendencies I would've had. I think pre-gen characters are a great start to getting the idea of party composition to new players with the...

    I know it's not exciting but need people to please answer a short survey. :)

    I can see this potentially weeding out the flaky people like which plagues roll20.net thus forcing GMs to charge money so people are more inclined to stick to a game. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    I think the player evolution goes something like this. Phase 1: Come to a table to play a game and don't want to suck and too awkward to talk in character or roleplay a challenging character who isn't optimized if not min/maxed. You determine your worth based on the amount of damage you deal to...

    D&D 5E Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    Well isn't that part of the fun playing a 20int pc when irl you're maybe a 10int? haha. You get to do smart things when normally they'd be mediocre. You then get to say because I have 20int! Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Goals for a party - why should they even go anywhere together?

    Just because a PC is evil doesn't mean they can't be in the game with good characters. They would join the group and use them to attain their goals. If your evil and join a group of "good guys" you're not going to be stealing from them or killing babies in front of them. Then at some point you...

    D&D 5E What are your experiences playing paladins/rangers?

    I love the Paladin. I like how it can support the group and still be very strong. Vengeance oath being the one I go for most. The limited spell slots, lack of AOE, weak ranged attacks are a weaknesses that come to mind. For this reason I think people try to multiclass into warlock so they can...

    D&D 5E Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    That sounds great. I was just thinking dwarf on water to be weird and hard to make a background for. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    To me optimizing and min max are separate. Picking Variant human just for proficiency in perception and an extra feat would be my definition of min/max. Making a mountain dwarf with high str not so much. Also another good example would be picking a background and then having a backstory that...

    How to get the rest of the party to take notes?

    I do like the idea of taking turns writing notes for DM xp bonus as motivation. I just wish people would immerse themselves a little more and take the initiative to get creative. For instance I like it when people add their drinking/smoking habits to their character. If you're having a beer or a...

    How to get the rest of the party to take notes?

    I keep a thin binder (zipper kind so I can throw dice in it) and a few plastic sheets to hold my character sheet so I can take it out to hand DM or switch it out with a freshly typed one (my hand writing is atrocious) then I keep a notebook in there for note taking which I hand write. I also...

    How to get the rest of the party to take notes?

    Both really our DM loves his home brew stories and they are really lazy. They mostly care about being able to deal the most damage and are learning that there is far more than stats on paper which is exciting. I'm generally the skill bot which I like so it works out in a really strange way...

    How to get the rest of the party to take notes?

    I'm the table scribe too. This comes back to bite PCs in the ass when I'm not available in game or irl. My table instead of just taking notes will play mtg untill I'm available lol. So I'm pretty much boned. So I compensate by forcing everyone to give me 10% of their earnings. Sent from my...

    D&D 5E Prestige Classes in 5e: What do you want to see?

    I'd like to see more archetypes and maybe a couple more classes. I miss the alchemist. I played a goblin alchemist is pathfinder and is one of my favorite characters I've ever made. Mutagen into a hobgoblin or burping bombs just did it for me. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Movies that make you want to play D&D

    Sci-fi and Space Cowboy themed anime. Always make me want to play Rifts from the Palladium Universe. Anything mystical or fantasy makes me want to play D&D. Reading the Mistborn trilogy ATM. And it's making me want to D&D. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk
