Since I am currently rewriting all backgrounds for my houseruled 5E (working title, "Vanity 5E" because that's what it is, a vanity project), this would likely be my first browse. But maybe in three months I'll be re-designing feats, so it will be the feat section instead. We'll see.

This is why (if you look at the pix of my gameroom) you'll notice that I set up on a long side of the table not at an end. This allows me to step to either side of the lectern (or the screen when I used one) and do things on the battlemat without having to reach over players. The lectern is...

1. I can’t read anything on a landscape screen. It is too low and I tend to stand 90% of the time while DMing. 2. Sometimes it is really easy for players to see over even just by accident. 3. Landscape screens take up more vertical space on the table. But you know what? I haven’t bought...

Portrait not landscape.

We did in every pre-5e campaign I have ever run and most that I played in. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I miss it.

Yes! We just rolled our hit dice and healed that amount between adventures and that was all you healed. Absolutely no one played clerics when we were kids. I am actually adapting something like this for long rests in my Vanity 5e homebrew rules I am working on.

Are you looking for a room by room comparison or just a general vibe?

If no one else gets back to before late tonight I’ll try to check for you.

Yeah, I think falls of 50 feet or more if you're generous and 100 feet or more if you want to be even close to something like reality. Of course, this system punishes falling/jumping on your own turn. I guess you fall faster when it is your intention to land ;)

Yeah, I have allowed similar reactions to catch a falling ally (or catch yourself). Recently, a PC hiding behind a rock on the edge of a snowy cliff was pushed out of the way by an NPC "ally" looking to use the rock for cover for himself. I gave the PC a chance to catch themselves, but since he...

I recently saw You Tube short that was suggesting a Falling house rule I thought was interesting. It basically called it the "Wile E. Coyote" rule. When you begin a fall, instead of falling immediately, you don't land until the end of your current or next turn. This may not be perfectly...

Given what I know about Trammell, I am not surprised by your characterization of his contribution. But I now i am going to see if my local library can get me a copy so I can see for myself. As someone who has seriously mixed feelings about race, racial assumptions, and perspectives on the...

Yeah I was gonna say that I'd probably not have water start doing damage until 20 ft, but counts as the full fall damage after that point.
