    D&D 5E Why I think gold should have less uses in 5e, not more.

    Yup. There ya go. So again, we are left with a case of "look, it's something D&D already tried... in 4e."

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    Maybe it's explained? Like, Vecna isn't the one doing this, it's his worshippers- since gods, depending on the setting, gods can't go monkeying around directly with the worlds? I don't have the adventure, so I'm not going to be able to look through it myself to see if that's explained. Or I...

    D&D 5E Why I think gold should have less uses in 5e, not more.

    Was this the magic item stuff that you could disenchant items into in 4e? I forget what it was called.

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    Yeah, the best way to make sure no one gives a crap is to not have them at all relevant to characters, make them way too subtle or just "background material," and make it seem like it's a big deal that they're in a bunch of adventures.. and that they do nothing in them. Few people are going to...

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    Ah, the long-long-long game. They start talking about these "monoliths" that they've knowingly scattered throughout the products, and then tease that the monoliths will finally be addressed- and then fake us out, by not addressing them! Perhaps in another 5-10 years, the secret will be revealed...

    D&D 5E Assaying rules for 5E E6 (Revised)

    Personally I changed the Stunned condition because after running Night Below, and in general enjoying Mind Flayers as a foe, I was so tired of players not being able to play for entire combats because their characters were stunned, and unlike Paralyzed etc. there's no way to do anything about...

    D&D 5E Assaying rules for 5E E6 (Revised)

    Thanks for the reply! It's funny how Healing Word caused a lot of issues.. I wonder if just removing it, making it Touch range, or grant Temp HP would resolve all the house-rules etc. that have been built up around the bonus action heal yo-yoing. Do you find a lot of players max out multiple...

    D&D 5E Composite Short And Longbow Homebrew

    EN's Level Up Advanced 5e has a composite bow, as pictured below and you can check it out here: Item List Your version is pretty potent- it has a greater range and better damage... I don't think the Strength requirement is strictly necessary since it's going to be benefiting from strength, but...

    D&D 5E Assaying rules for 5E E6 (Revised)

    I've been seriously considering enacting my own "e9" rules, but I'm always looking at other folks doing something similar- did any of you ever enact the changes here? @clearstream @Tom B1 @Jaeger @Charlaquin

    Not DnD: Rob Heinsoo Talks 13th Age 2nd Edition

    What? Why?

    D&D 5E Why I think gold should have less uses in 5e, not more.

    What edition are you running with 10 levels? Curious, if it's 5e, if you made any changes/house-rules to leveling/endgame etc.

    D&D 5E I’d be glad for MAD

    Who's "we?" I've been considering house-ruling back in Fort Ref and Will saves and how it'd work in 5e/A5e, what kind of impact it'd have and considerations to be taken into accounts.

    D&D General Why does WotC/Wizkids wait 6 months for tie in minis?

    There are less ship combat rules in this dedicated ship setting than there were in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. They're incredibly bare-bones and the book says "just get to boarding action."

    D&D General Why does WotC/Wizkids wait 6 months for tie in minis?

    One thing I'll point out are things observed from the Spelljammer release: Wizkids released a ton of cool ship-scale miniature sets seemingly to use with some ship rules from SJ's books. There were no such rules in the SJ release. Wizkids' Showdown scene set included a third named astral elf...

    At My Most Burned-Out in 35 Years

    We still use notebook paper for some of our games... Sometimes it can be nice to get away from the trade dress.

    What adventure module have you pillaged the most without using the main plot?

    What sort of stuff have you pilfered from it?

    At My Most Burned-Out in 35 Years

    Yeah @Retreater if you don't make a change you're gonna ... I donno, it seems like you're burnt out already. Switch off the character builder and give them PDFs. Have them get their own PDFs. Helping players level up is one thing, but leveling up characters for the players yourself is pretty...

    General DCC RPG thread

    Interesting. I want to either watch or play some DCC just to learn how to run it for my groups. I'll check out this actual play, even though I don't really enjoy them 😆 I've been contacting collecting DCC for years since I played a Goodman Games-run one shot almost a decade ago, but haven't the...
