    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [recruiting 1 player]

    I was waiting on @Steve Gorak for Aric’s next step following Jack’s (@Aethmud’s ) setup. If Steve doesn’t wish to post, yes, I can always advance a scene. Asking like you did - “can we push to the next story point?” - is 100% the kind of feedback that helps and I encourage it always.

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Speaking for my N of 1 nephew, they use mostly online video clips or wild imagination. Oh, there's this cool monster that's like a shark but on land, I saw it on YouTube. I want to do the monster from the Back Rooms. In Minecraft, zombies are like this... can you do that in D&D? What if a dragon...

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Wand of Gulthias wand, uncommon Appearing as a cluster of tightly bound dark vines that ever so slowly writhe when touched by a living creature, this wand grants its wielder the ability to cast thorn whip at will, using their character level as the level of the cantrip. However, a DC 15 Wisdom...

    Planescape Adventure introducing the PCs to factions?

    Yes, I did a small version of that back in AD&D Planescape. I had two players (very rarely a third or fourth around holidays), one running a Sensate, the other wasn't faction aligned. I focused on a little adventure to run some faction possibilities by the unaligned PC's player... What is...

    D&D 5E (2014) My Take on the Modron (Houserule)

    @Stalker0 Funnily enough, back in the AD&D2e Planewalker's Handbook where "Rogue Modrons" were first introduced as a PC race, there was an (optional?) rule that they used a static initiative score, a lot like your "take 10" idea, just for initiative.

    D&D General Advice needed for planar adventure...

    One of the things I often do with the planes is first get a grasp on how I'm imagining that plane for the purposes of my session/campaign in which I'm using it. For example (see attached) when I was developing Qaybar, City of the Jann (with @Celebrim 's extensive help filling the city with...

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Oh yes, those spells have always been extremely swingy throughout D&D's history. Less impactful in the old school days, maybe, because combat turns were shorter and the comedy of errors seemed to be embraced in the chaos. I do think D&D's spell design – not the system, but the specific language...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    They’re interesting ideas with potential for sure! For Sorcerers specifically, I highly encourage reading the 2014 PHB flavor text on them. It’s very good writing and evocative of what I think the class should be. I think the point system is ok, but it’s sort of a neutral mechanic. Read that...

    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    Hah, and they say it's a "horror" adventure. ;) @Aethmud I think with the massive distraction you can automatically pull the hitch on one sled (remember: 3 total sleds, one of which is already unhitched). However, a DC 10 Deception check is necessary to unhitch BOTH of the other sleds, and...
