So I was talking this over with a friend (both loved the series) and I came to the conclusion that

Yeah Looking at the stat block its not great for any 4 man party. At levels 9/10 (even assuming they somehow get at him with full resources) 1)he can legendary a 6th level Banishment. Thats almost gauranteed to take out at least half the party unless countered. 2) he has a firball that will...

Quick thoughts via mobile (might do more in depth later from home) after discussing it with a buddy last night 1) love all the player/gm advice stuff. Having safety tools and inspirations for the game up front awesome. Same with making session 0 and character connections part of the base...

1) for quick and easy combat encounters I do theater of the mind or just randomly set the player/enemy tokens out on the map without drawing walls/features just so we can get a sense of distances. 2) for important/planned/boss encounters I'll take draw out the room on one of my dry erase map...

Oh another was the Iron Gods campaign i ran. I gave one player a magic dagger that let him rerell any D20 but he had to roll on a modified wild magic table. By the end he was a blue skinned, armadillo plated clone of another player with no shadow who was cursed to eternally wear a magic...

So a couple of campaigns ago i was running Vampire the Masquerade. At one point one of the characters caught a mountain lion in a trap and didnt have any weapons to knock it out/kill it. So they used the lion as a speed bag beating it unconscious over several rounds.

So ive started a new campaign with my group using the Star Wars 5e system but in a custom setting. The tone is goofy fun with serious moments (Starstruck Odyssey, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, etc. Just a bit short of Futurama). I was wondering if the community had any ideas for slighly goofy/silly...

My hroup tends to go somewhere between 4 and 6 hours with an occasional 30 minute meal break. Personally i can occasionally do longer if im really into it but i find that the average session at about 5-6 hours my mental reserves and energy start to flag (im also forever DM which i find takes...

Also now that I'm home and can both type and look up spells let me put up a full list (note I'm not saying all these spells are a problem and have to be changed. I'm just saying that the way they are currently implemented means they probably make the game weaker/less fun overall) Guidance-...

To clarify my problem with shield isnt that it breaks the game (though im not a fan of how effective it is) so much as it warps it. Every arcane caster is going to take shield because its good at first level and only gets better with time as 1st level slots become less important. That means PC's...

1)multiple summons for pretty much the exact reason Zardnaar stated. 2) spells that are so good/impactfull that its a spell slot tax/people are multiclassing just to get that one. Shield being the biggest offender, counterspell to a lesser extent. 3) most save or suck spells (hold person...

I did manage to track down which particular line likely led me to thinking that way. "On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed and take one action. You decide whether to move first or take your action first" seems to indicate to me that it's intended that you complete your action...

So the first question to ask is "Can a person take another action in the middle of the first action?" and I would say "no, unless otherwise stated to be able to." (I will admit it is not explicitly stated to be so but seems the most reasonable interpretation of the rules to me. it is a given...

So i have two thoughts on this. Reading the book do i think the rules intend for it to be allowed? No. My personal interpratation of them is that the multiple attacks must be taken together unless something states it can come between them (movement, reactions, etc). So if im trying to follow all...

Lots of good advice here already hitting the big points so ill try for a slightly nore niche one. "If your part of a long running group try mixing up your seating arrangment or even where you play." With my group i find that they've been playing together so long they can get into ruts in...

Ill agree on riddick but ill defend chronicles to my last breath. Not as...you know a good movie but it is fun and has lots of heart. Riddick is pretty bad though

It happens a fair bit. I'd be willing to argue that the best Will Ferrel performance is Stranger then Fiction (which while a comedy has him playing the serious straight man and really killing it). Turns out that a lot of really good comedic actors are just....Good actors.

I do think theres a difference between "we use contract work because we expect this to be a short term position" and "we use contract work even if we expect it to be a long term position so that we can look better if we fire/replace people."

Im so sorry. Love and happy thoughts to you and your family during this tragedy

The doorknob was a spinning wheel (think submarine or vault door) where the wheel was ripped off but the door was still intact (the hole didn't go the whole way through). I did mention that they could try and go inside the door and navigate through the interior mechanism if they desired. As for...
