    D&D 5E Grappled

    Behold the BEAROWL! (note this blog post was written during the OGL fiasco and some of the references I make to what WotC was doing in the intro are no longer accurate)

    How Do You Feel About Published Adventures as a GM?

    I have never run one of those. The closest I’ve come is running one adventure from the Savage Tide AP (the second!) back in 3.xE days before events drew us off the path requiring me to readjust everything.

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    I wonder where you saw that. My friends and I had a zine around that time and one of them wrote an article using Conan as the example of "a progressively more experienced multiclass character" as a way to explain/get hyped about the 3E rules as soon as we got the PHB after a year of salivating...

    How Do You Feel About Published Adventures as a GM?

    First of all, sorry for the long post, but. . . . I love published adventures and about 85% of what I run is based on published adventures. The problem with them is when you try to run them so-called "as written," as opposed to taking the time to adapt them to your specific setting and group of...

    New Pop Up Ads?

    Pretty sure becoming a supporter already removes ads. Also, I think the very first crowdfunder I ever supported was for an ENWorld upgrade but that might have been over a decade ago already - time has no meaning.

    New Pop Up Ads?

    Money's tight for me right now or else I would just become a supporter (though I do wish there was a discount for paying the yearly rate rather than the monthly rate).

    New Pop Up Ads?

    This may be what was happening to me. I am on a laptop and did a Chrome update earlier that same day or maybe the night before - and was wondering if that what made the ads "suddenly" appear. I always saw the sidebar ads (which don't hover).

    New Pop Up Ads?

    Maybe I just never noticed them before or my browser configuration changed, but starting yesterday I started seeing pop up ads hovering over the actual content at the bottom of the screen and in the bottom right. I can "X" them out (which is fine, I don't begrudge ENWorld needing to serve ads)...

    TSR TOEE: What happens when the party ignores the Moathouse?

    Okay. But I would and am. Thanks anyway.

    D&D General What is your favorite Token/Miniature in DnD?

    I've got a naked hill giant sculpt I got off Etsy that is completely naked and anatomically correct. I don't think I can share a pic on here without violating board policies, but if you scroll far enough back on my instagram you'll find him. I don't know if he is my all-time fave, but he's up there.

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    I've never left D&D because of D&D itself. In the 2E era I had a gap between August 1989 and August 1991 because I started college and had a lot of other interests that overshadowing any kind of gaming. I then had a 3-year gap between August 2009 and October 2012, when I started my PHD program...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    a "Rate My Professor" style site but for ENWorld posters (no chili peppers) would be actually helpful.

    D&D 5E Shadowdark casting in standard 5E

    My current plan is for the first time to be "free" but a check is rolled every time after the first. Maybe something like a saving throw based on your casting ability score against DC ??. I was considering have the check get harder each time you cast a particular cantrip more than once - but...

    D&D 5E Shadowdark casting in standard 5E

    I’m considering using a system like this but only for cantrips.
