    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    So you reckon do that instead of making him a fully-fledged mummy lord? FWIW my PCs all have resistance to psychic damage from a wish they made in Beyond the Crystal Cave, so the full mummy lord's Dreadful Glare attack won't be as potent against them as it normally would. Just looked at the...

    Witcher change up?

    I've only watched the first season. You guys are making it sound like I made the right decision not to bother watching the rest.

    Genre Discussion: Cyberpunk

    Eh? Westworld S3 is nothing like Moonraker! ;) I enjoyed it well enough. It was S4 that left me scratching my head. I am disappointed they didn't get to finish the series, though. I'd say it was pretty cyberpunkish. Things like the shirt with different words on it that light up depending on...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    I just read about the sandbox tree. It has pumpkin-like fruits that explode. The explosion flings its seeds at 160 mph up to 150 feet away. It is dangerous to animals and humans. Maybe I’ll just leave it at 20-foot radius and 6d6 damage and just add a chance to catch the fruit as it falls. And...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    I’d be more inclined to just not have the explosive fruit. It’s pretty random and nonsensical already. I’m already removing the doppelgängers from the maze cos I just can’t be bothered with that kind of thing. This exploding fruit is another thing I’m not sure I want to bother with. (The random...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Sure but the map has the trees right next to the pool of water. The side view map even makes it look like they’re growing out of the water.

    Yeah, just continuing SNW into the TOS era would be the simplest thing, but it doesn't sound like that's what the showrunners want to do. Let's hope they do get to continue, even if it's under a different show name.

    D&D 5E (2014) my First Eberron campaign!

    I am running Pharaoh from Quests from the Infinite Staircase next. After some major indecision, I settled on the book's suggestion of placing the adventure in the Blade Desert. I'm making it a post-Dhakaani Empire goblinoid kingdom named Bakaar. So Amun Sa and most of the undead in the tomb...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Sure. I just mean, if a fruit falls, roll a d8 to see what square around the tree trunk it lands in. There's a possibility it could land in the water. If it does, I would think it wouldn't explode until it gets carried down the stream to where it makes a hard right turn. Yes. Destroying a tree...

    Cool. I wasn’t aware of that. I shall remain hopefully that the studio agrees!

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    I am reading it in depth because I am going to run it! (We were supposed to start tonight but we’ve had to delay till next weekend.)

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    I honestly thought the Vezda was going to corrupt the Enterprise’s computer system from within or something. Not just make a copy of Gamble’s body and then escape. Nice to see Sam included again! Marie turning into some kind of superwoman wasn’t what I was expecting! What a bittersweet ending...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Yeah. I’ll go with 1d4 per tree. The issue is getting to the altars to activate the floating magic. You can’t get to the altars without dropping at least one fruit. I reckon there should be a chance for the fruit to fall in the water and not explode.

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Another comment about Pharaoh: In room P33, there are four grenade palms with explosive pineapple fruits. As written in this version, a fruit is guaranteed to fall if a creature comes within 5 feet of a palm. The fruit explodes with a 20-foot radius (which is the entire room and more!), dealing...
