    D&D 5E What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    Two house rules: Drinking potions as a bonus action when you have a special fast draw potion belt (5 slots). Rolling hp when levelling up: Player rolls, I roll (without the playing seeing the roll), Player looks at his roll and decides if he would rather use my roll (without knowing what it is)...

    English to German translation appreciated.

    Well, if you want "Death to my enemies" go with "Tod meinen Feinden". But should you actually be looking for "Death to may enemies", you should use "Tod den Feinden des Mai!";) Spinjammer

    PCs as Stone Giants

    Well, the human form is preferable when your characters have, let's say a life. Unless your adventures are constant wilderness encounters or dungeon crawls, there are some pretty easy ways to make them regret their shape. Do they never need supplies? Do they have dealings with other humans...

    Supply the punchline

    Originally posted by Tewligan THE JOKE (tm): A necromancer walks into a tavern and takes a stool at the bar. The barkeep sees him and says "Hey! We don't serve necromancers in this bar!", to which the necromancer replies... That's okay, give me a holy bartender instead. Spinjammer

    Populating Taverns and Parties...

    A nice idea is to create several taverns in advance. I always have four or five generic taverns that are ready for use. Whenever the party wants to go one, I can pull out one and use the stuff I created earlier. It is a bit of work, but it prevents situations like: "There are three men with axes...

    Hm, they won't let you choose Germany as country, but they accepted the registration and beta request. I wonder where the country N/A lies, though ;) Spinjammer

    So these are my results: Str: 16 Int: 11 Wis: 17 Dex: 13 Con: 16 Chr: 15 Hm, I always thought I was smarter than average, but now I finally know! No degree - no brain. ;) But at least I tried. Twice. Then I was more into earning money. The others seem right to me - I guess I am rather strong...

    OT -- Search 4 LOTR personality tests

    The tests seem consistant to me. After being Legolas, Aragorn and Arwen guess what I came up with doing the Dnd test? Yes, a neutral good half-elven ranger/fighter!:) Spinjammer

    Well, the first one says I am Legolas, the second one Aragorn and the third states I am Arwen. Hm, I always wondered if I have a feminine side, now I know. :D And practically, me being Aragon as well, I very fond of myself as well! I hope my wife doesn't notice. Spinjammer

    [Humor] Everything I Need to Know in D&D I learned by Watching Buffy

    5. All "red shirt" vampires that constantly run around in vamp faces may be slain at will. If a "red shirt" vampire has not yet vamped out give him time to do something (deceive a family member, deliver some threats etc.), then kill him. 6. The sunlight rule for vampires only applies when...

    Morpheus and DnD

    Something I find curious is the "the companies rip me off, and I don't care if they lose money" stance. A lot of people seem to think that companies are large abstract entities, that exist outside their (the people's) own system and their (the company's) only effect on society as a whole is to...

    When outrageous plans work!

    This is not an outrageous plan, but it caused a long laughing fit. We played RuneQuest and our current mission was to find a underworld crimelord. So we searched the sewers for his secret meeting place. After a few fights that left us severly battered and half dead, we found the secret room...

    How to break old school Monty Haul players?

    What I don't understand about those breed of players is their willingness to compete against the DM. 10 Years ago, I had similiar problems with a group, they were sort of playing against me. I didn't get the point. Fighting against the DM? Hello? If he wants you to lose, you lose. No competition...

    What Ability Score Generation Method do you use?

    I let my players choose their attributes according to what they want to play. But until now, they all declined and took the 4d6 best three, free arangement. Their credo is: the dice are what nature has given me. The fighter in the group has more charisma then strength! Spinjammer

    [OT] Best music to listen to when depressed

    Try Tori Amos. When I 'm sad (has been a while, though) I love to listen to Little Earthquakes. But you should be careful, there are some songs on this CD that might make it worse. But the most of them just allow you to live through your sadness with the music. Spinjammer

    Best non Role-playing Game

    My favourite would be Britannia. Too bad it is not on the list. Does anybody else know Britannia? I've only met two people so far that knew Britannia as well... Spinjammer
