    D&D 5E Running Tier 3 D&D 5e

    Lots of generic combat advice and whinging about paladin smite. Don't nerf the sorcadin suddenly after 10 levels, that will just feel real bad. For tier 3, the players would normally have 5th level and soon 6th level spells. But with all the multiclassing they're doing I think your casters are...

    Times we have made mistake as DMs and how we would do things differently

    Mistakes I have made as a DM: Over-prepping to the point of writing plots, instead of creating situations for the characters to resolve. It's much more fun for everyone at the table when things are open ended Being way more invested in the game and the players characters than the players are...

    D&D General D&D "influencers" need to actively acknowledge other games.

    This may have been addressed elsewhere in the thread but I haven't read the whole thing. Do you really think their job is to teach how to d&d better? An influencer can say their goal is whatever, but like a corporation who has a mission statement to "bring buzzword to generic term", their...

    What makes an TTRPG a "Narrative Game" (Daggerheart Discussion)

    Who could have predicted a thread about GNS would go off the rails. I say that although Daggerheart claims to be a narrative game, it doesn't have any narrative focussed mechanics. It is in fact far more of a gamey aka crunchy or tactical game

    D&D General Tell Me About Your Favorite Use of a Dragon In D&D

    Having "cast a spell" as a legendary action is common for big spellcasters. Or they can use prep/buff or ranged spells

    D&D General Tell Me About Your Favorite Use of a Dragon In D&D

    I think the opposite is true, depending on the personality or type of dragon - that they would fight to the death to defend their lair. Or they're so over confident/arrogant they can't imagine being defeated, so they never consider fleeing from their own lair

    D&D General Tell Me About Your Favorite Use of a Dragon In D&D

    I enjoyed using a young green dragon against a level 5 party. With some illusory nonsense and a trap to boot. When the party dealt with the trap the dragon fled to its lair, and the party had the chance to track it down and loot its lair (which they did successfully). Dragon lairs are good...

    D&D General Which D&D-related You Tube channels do you find worth watching? (+)

    The top tier stuff like Ginny Di, Sly Flourish and Dungeoncraft have already been mentioned so I'll throw out one that's little known: Knights of Last Call. They are technically Pathfinder-aligned but discuss a lot of different game systems, often comparing and contrasting to 5e (and previous...
