I have a probably far-too-complicated method that I do not need to use often. I tell my players falling -- even a short fall -- can be deadly, so try not to fall. On the other hand, there are the (extremely rare) examples of folks surviving falls from great heights. I wanted to model both...

"He was in Menzoberranzan with my mom when she was worshipping spiders right before she died."

Sony exec: "So these Drow elves worship the queen of spiders, eh?" Hasbro/WotC: "Yes, they do." Sony exec: "Sounds great for a Madame Web crossover!" This would be better. Sony's Spider-Verse movies are great, both in animation and story.

I like to think he has learned that lesson before the show starts. He has new lessons to learn. Indeed.

While I thought Book of Boba Fett was a pretty meh show (except for The Mandalorian season 2.5 they threw in there), I think it tried to accentuate Boba Fett as a thinker, not a fighter. From the line from Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, Boba has a rep for disintegrations, which is bad for a...

He would be about 90 years old. Admittedly, I don't know when Wookiees are considered to be an adult.

Chewbacca would be around. Don't diss the Wookiee!

I remember shocking the players of some fighter PCs with this back in the day: Shields did not help your AC against all attacks. From AD&D 1st edition Players Handbook, p:36:

Are you referring to Ray Winninger's comments from 2021? IIRC, he promised the return of two classic settings (one in a new format) in 2022 and a setting "revisit" in 2023 or 2024, along with two brand new settings in the works. Spelljammer was clearly the new format classic setting, and...

WFRP = Warhammer Fantasy Role Play

It was also in the DMG for both AD&D 1st and 2nd edition.

So, how would a Rogue's Sneak Attack hit be represented in your system vs a non-Sneak Attack hit? How would a Wizard's fireball be different than burning hands, assuming both just hit a single target?

I have been treating the Portent feature for a player to allow him to adjust any spells prepared after a Long Rest. I explain this away as the portents coming to him in his dreams, and a strict reading of the rules backs me up, I believe: Both are done after completing a Long Rest, but...

Anyone else seen this yet? I found it pretty watchable. I began to suspect something was up before the reveal, and I considered many options (angels, Highlander-esque immortals, secret superheroes, aliens, time travellers). Reminds me of the Dark Horse comic book series Resident Alien, which...
