So, to properly run a Dragonborn NPC I have to reference both the MM and the PHB? That may be the correct interpretation but man that pushes 5e further down the list of games I want to run. But then again in 3rd I never added class levels to monsters for the same reason.

So this thread made go reread the first part of the Raiders of the Lost Ark novelization. He gets tells but some are razor thin more like he gets ‘a feeling’. But how to gamify that? As a DM putting in tells means I have to be more mindful and thoughtful about placement and purpose, which is...

I am a lesson learned kind of guy. I mean waiting a month longer than I wanted for the core book was not as big as a deal as I made it out to be, but no waiting this time. It's funny the standard book at $39.99 seems almost too low (not complaining, but I was expecting $50ish usd) and the...

Well my wife has been asking for my Christmas list.

I had no idea there was a new Black Company book. It has kind of thrown me. I read the first 3 and silver spike multiple times in the 90s. And the books of the south once each as they came out. I’m not much into grimdark anymore, do I jump back in? Do I reread the Books of the South? Do I...

Yeah I think I overstated it a bit but I was vaguely remembering this passage: "I am very old, oh man of the waste countries; long and long ago I came to this planet with others of my world, from the green planet Yag, which circles for ever in the outer fringe of this universe. We swept through...

Didn't one of REH Conan stories have a wizard from outer space? And Saber Hagen's book of swords turns out to be techno not magic right? (It's been so long since I read them I may be confused on that one)

I have recently come around to this as well. For me it was watching sportsball games. In American football the QB knows where every defence guy is yet can get blindsided. There is even special protections for both QBs and receivers cause a hit coming in at the slightly wrong angle can be...

For years (and I mean over a decade) I thought there was an insanely popular thread on a homebrew Coraline RPG. I finally opened it to see what the fuss was about and realized it was Coreline a sci-fi game.

Yep. for myself I have wondered how a party would handle the most house in hommlet or get the weapons from plume with minimal combat.

I thought it was a weird yet possibly cool start to a new play by post game. Morris could be a computer running constant simulations and spitting out the percentages. Umbran would be the crack black ops guy running the missions. And Danny A is the retired gamer in hiding who knows more than is safe.

The forsaken. Villains with different agendas was not common, made them more interesting.

So I'm not the only one that gets stressed reading for pleasure? These multi 700 page books have about made me quit reading fiction for pleasure. But then I circle back to sci-fi and fantasy of the 60s-80s and feel better. I am currently reading The Postman by Brian (inspired by the post...

Some people (GRR Martin) should know that the professor was writing mythology not historical fiction and as such tax tables in the Fourth Age are not really called for.

While I haven't confronted anyone over the point, I'm pretty sure a lot of people totally misunderstand "Not all who wander are lost".

Yep my grandad did that and used buttermilk. Absolutely horrid. But it was a great for him.

This. The word gravy just makes it sound quaint.

My mom made a chocolate gravy that we would put over biscuits. Man, only on special occasions, but it rocked.
