    D&D 5E (2024) Cloud of Daggers / Teleport Question

    It seems that you can move the cube into someone's space. I would still think it is a line of sight to put it on a space. I also think part of the issue is using a grid and having it land on one square or allowing it to land on 4 squares.

    D&D General Adventurers a distasteful necessity

    Fear is always a great motivator. The peasants fear both the monsters and the PCs ever since the farmer's uncle Jim went off and never came back. Must have been trolls that ate his bones and him poor ma never got over it. Oh look, here are some mean men with big swords that just killed that...

    D&D General Adventurers a distasteful necessity

    Is there a difference with real world explorers and fantasy adventurers? Sponsoring an expedition to explore the unknown to find the source of the Nile or find a shorter route to India and discover the Americas might be a different thing than adventuring. I'm guessing that there are angles and...

    D&D General Adventurers a distasteful necessity

    I might allow the peasants to love the PCs and the nobles to not like them after they saved the town from whatever. The locals want the prosperity and safety, but the nobles see them as a threat to the power balance.

    D&D General Mechanics of starting a combat & ending a combat

    I was thinking that inspiration was the easiest to give as a bonus, but needs to be used in this encounter. You can just give it and not upset things if used in another encounter as well. You can give out other bonuses to the group that anyone can use besides inspiration. Bumping a die roll...

    D&D 5E (2024) Cloud of Daggers / Teleport Question

    The spell is a 5ft cube, so I was thinking it does not matter much since it would only hit one bad guy. To do that, you need line of sight. Then I thought some people have a 5ft cube land on the intersection of the grid and hit a 10ft cube instead. I would then think you need to see part of...

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    Has things been telegraphed that there is stall a lot going on and it is dangerous? Are there less wandering monsters or sounds of bad guys moving about. Are there less patrols or changing off in distant corridors? Do the players have the right information? Sometimes I am not sure if I have...

    AI GMs

    How fast is this technology advancing and changing. What will it be in 1 year or 5. I see it as both good and bad. I have not tried anything as far as using it to do anything besides give me a few ideas for further development or for me to create an adventure, but it is coming.

    DDAL Organized Play Update: Forgotten Realms (and Legends of Greyhawk)

    I have an upcoming convention with a couple of these games offered. I have been trying to look at any official information and not seeing much. There is this LegensofGreyhawk site saying that they are the official site and some stuff on DDBeyond tying in and whatnot. The players guide does...

    D&D General Short folk appreciation thread – what do you play?

    I play halflings and dwarves. I always liked the Lord of the Rings and seeing the hobbits be the ones who create the story always had a soft spot. Some of the mechanics over the years also gave them some abilities that fit and were cool to play. I think over 5e years, I has a halfling rogue...

    D&D General How does spell banished work

    Sounds like an option people would try. I looked for a chart thinking someone would have made one to see how bad it would be randomly coming back to your plane. Might be a cool campaign getting banished back to the other side of the world and need to get home. I could not find a chart, but...

    Rules for Drunkenness

    I cannot recall the last time we used some sort of drunk rules in the game, likely 30 hears ago in high school. Now if the PCs want to get drunk and party it is just crossing some gold off and I have them tell me a 10 second story of the night and leave out details.

    D&D General Revisiting the Red Box.

    How is this much different than the new box set? I have not played it, but is looks like it spoon-feeds things to the players and the DM to start playing. Is there the offramp to go off and create your own stuff to add or create a whole new campaign?
