@DEFCON 1 how do you come to terms with the fact that you as DM are essentially writing a story with all these narrative fingerprints everywhere? EDIT: To put it another way, in that situation the entire experience for me as DM would feel contrived which would lessen my enjoyment of it all.

Yes exactly. Queen Bavmorda "Is that the extent of your power, little one?" It always reminds me of that scene which I have etched in my memory from the movie Willow where Willow throws a petrification pebble at Queen Bavmorda and she catches it. Her forearm immediately begins petrifying as...

There is possible middle ground for those that like save-or-suck and those that prefer making a saving throw every round. This is but one such example. (a) Spell is cast, if the victim succeeds proceed to condition 2. The round thereafter you shake off the effect completely. (b) Spell is cast...

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but you could as an option, after a failed saving throw, have the creature lose a Legendary Action to overcome the spell (as part of a Legendary Resistance). It works well in the fiction and for the players. Separate to the above, but somewhat connected - In...

I find Matt to be an easy listen - I'm a fan of his temperament (Mercer's too - not that I watch CR). Thankfully I'm in a job where I can just play a podcast in the background most of the time.

In a practical sense what is the effective difference? Can WotC use you ideas to sell new product without paying you royalties? From my rather limited understanding of that clause it appears yes.

This sounds perfect, a teacher and running a D&D club! If you're creative enough and know how to custom up earlier editions to 5e I'd run Night's Dark Terror specifically Siege at Sukiskyn series of modified encounters. You could do similar stuff with 5e adventurer AP's like the attack on...

I'm with China on this. Movie was great as is.

Incredibly kind @xyrad. Thank you. How long did this project take you to complete?

Good grief I was still under the assumption that Wizards did not have a forum anymore from when they closed it years ago...:rolleyes:

First, I never made the comparison between Orcs of LotR and the Kagonesti - I was referring to the heroes. Second, I do not agree with your assessment of Qualinesti and Silvanesti elves as being auto-good. Third, I have not read the Elf War trilogies or enough Dragonlance to see how the authors...

My point was that trying to safeguard against memes is a terrible metric. What people remember from the all-white cast of Lord of the Rings are not the memes - so I do think this white-elves dark-elves supposed dilemma is storm in a tea-cup nonsense which would generate a few rage-baiting...

By that metric Django and Inglourious Bastards failed.

That's a strange hill for a cemetery IMO

The draconian costume/makeup is going to be quite a costly affair I imagine.

I think what @mamba is trying to say, is it necessary to state for modern audiences? As opposed to which audiences?

Noted, apologies and fair enough. I'm not going to drag this out further than this post but Kender arms and Chimpanzee arms (despite the similarities in main body frame) are wildly different IMO.

With that many goblins I would use mob tactics as per the DMG. PCs build up crazy AC and rolling so many times just to miss is disheartening, so I switch to mob tactics and other forms of attack with help actions (grapple, trip, etc) against casters

I do not have an issue with a recast of Goldmoon...in the same way I love Corlys Velaryon in House of Dragon. I was referring to Kender. Are you saying Kleptomaniacs Anonymous have found Kender offensive to them and that we need to listen?

I love how people champion for 3 feet tall halflings to be able to have 20 Strength because fantasy but take issue with other fantasy because it doesn't make sense with their reality. Personally, I'd love for them to bring to life on screen the time before the Cataclysm - I just imagine there...
