    Online Harassment through Emails and Private Message: You're killing your hobby

    Yesterday, I came to the forums after having played a wonderful AL game with a father and his daughter to seek some help working through a few confusingly jumbled issues. I was a bit confused on how to present that information, as there were several subtle nuances to the subject that I didn't...

    When and how do you tell a DM he is possibly in error?

    Due to confusion, I'm restating the questions and the answers I've received off forum. The original post is preserved below the line. I have encountered the following problems and felt unsure of whether it was worth stopping the DM to address them. 1. DM deciding that a creature doesn't need...

    D&D 5E Is there a spell in 5e for removing madness?

    I never really gave it much thought, since I considered greater restoration to be the goto spell for removing insanity, but realized it actually doesn't refer to it anywhere. Is there a different spell that might be able to remove, or temporarily suppress, insanity?

    Question on the Vamp/Lycanthropy Ruling

    So I'm reading through the DM handout for Curse of Strahd and came across their Vampirism and Lycanthropy ruling. Vampirism and Lycanthropy Vampires and lycanthropes are not included in the allowed rules for character creation...

    D&D 5E Sleep is not a save-or-die spell (minor rant)

    As a little background, I decided to look around for errata to see if WoTC changed over to a less chaotic set of mechanics for determining whether sleep is actually worth casting only to find this old thread...
