Not too long ago HeroQuest rereleased with resculpted figures. If you got the KS/Pulse version, you got male/female versions of the heroes* (and some of the monsters too). I liked that, thought it was a great idea. This, I feel was handled poorly - probably wouldn’t have hurt to do...

I know 5E pretty well now, I’ve paged through A5E, and I haven’t seen anything for Tales of the Valiant. With the 2014 version coming to an end, I’ve decided to hack my own version of 5E to twist it into what I want to see ( more options, but at the same time trying to cut back on the plentiful...

Dark Lords are really much like the Thanos factor. For the most part, they are behind the scenes, manipulating events that the players become embroiled in unknowingly. After some time, the strings lead the PCs back to discovering the hand of the Dark Lord. It's generally expected the first...

Personally, I'd set the STR requirement lower at 10/12, the shortbow basically not have a minus and the longbow being a touch higher. Shouldn't they also have the Ammunition tag?

So, all this time it was Warduke's sister Warduchess?

Eh, I could get behind straight 5E being the 2014 version, 5.25 adding Xanathar's, 5.5 being Tasha's and the 2024 books being 5.75. Doesn't matter anyways, as I'm going to 5.9543 Hawkeye anyways.

I actually quite like the subclass system for 5E, and I hated prestige classes in 3E & 4E. In 5E, the current subclass system keeps the option bloat down a bit. Choose a path and you're off to the races and at level up the only major choices are possibly a feat/ASI or a new spell. It helps to...

Playing around, I cam up with this Dragon's Mire. "A party of adventurers tracks a black dragon into the swamp, where they are subjected to its hit and run tactics, ending with a final climatic battle."

Thank you and damn you for this at the same time :D ! This is really fun to play with, and yet so hard to get it to sound like you want. I really like what you did for the Happy Wizard and the Terror of the Asteroid Belt is pants-soiling fun (once it gets into the song). How many iterations...

The hate for 4E is still strong, and I think Warlord's abilities encompasses every bit of that hate. That, more than anything is why its unlikely a 5E Warlord will ever emerge, sadly. That said, some of the battlemaster's maneuvers clearly were designed from warlord abilities, and if there was...

They work for regular RP play, I think we were all just expecting rules that were orientated more towards the 2E tabletop rules that were geared more for (small) fleet actions.

Hmmm. Been thinking lately about a "casting" roll for spellcasters. Right now, spells that require a save have after a fashion a casting roll built in - if the opponent makes the save, the spell fails. Those that require an attack roll fail if they don't hit the target. However, spells that...

When I got the 5E DMG, I did a really quick flip through and nothing stood out worth reading deeper into (with plenty of other editions and other systems under my belt). It's only been recently that I've come to realize there are some sections in there that even are beneficial to my jaded...

GW tends to do this, or at least, they used to - create a model/miniature and then develop the story and stats around it. I'd rather not WotC follow their direction in any manner.

All the 2E Ravenloft adventures have serious issues,and they don’t play nice by standard D&D rules. Most of the original line start off by killing or infecting or otherwise turning the PCs into monsters under the thumb of the primary villain. They require a special kind of buy-in on the...
