    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.

    I'll catch it when its on the Hallmark Channel, although one might need to be a chocolatier and the other a prince(ess) in hiding.

    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?

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    Last week the Pcs fought some of the new lamia monsters and their basic attack lets them force WIS saves of be charmed. There is also no text that says the PCs can make saves at the end of their turns, so it looks like they are charmed for an hour. This took out 2 PCs and 2 of the henchmen...

    D&D General How does spell banished work

    Some might depend on what edition you are talking about. Most of your questions are DM dependent though. the new 5.5e rules are below. It says you are incapacitated for the minute before you come back. If you are one of the special types listed you do not come back. If concentration...

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    What! No Conan meme about lamentations of women yet. Some people just like to roll lots of dice and feel powerful on game nights. I recall the old Stoneskin spell that would just bounce one attack no matter how much damage it was. I cannot recall the last time it was used with the 4e/5e rules.

    Art, is it important to you, does it help your roleplaying?

    I like the art, especially the old black and white art in the modules and old books. I do not think I really need it to play. I do not show pictures of things to the players, but was are all related and know/seen most of the same things. I have used minis in the past to show certain people...

    How does your group handle an absent player?

    I currently have 2 players and my son in college that can play during breaks, like the last 3 weeks. At times when he is home for one week, we might play a 1-shot with a lower level group associated with the main group. When we play the main group- the PC just shows up like he was there all...

    D&D General A Way for Players to Roll Hidden Checks

    This is a bit like what I was thinking. Sure the player is the one rolling the die, but the want behind it is useless. The DM could roll the d4 in the open, but then the players know the success. Otherwise the roll could be assumed to be fudged anyways for the DM outcome.

    D&D General Homebrew Rune Initiate (Feat)

    You could make a chart for rune dice for the player to roll. There are 2d6 minor abilities that he can roll to use 1/rest or proficiency times /day. Gain +2 to attack roll Deal 1d6 extra damage Gain advantage Impose disadvantage on bad guy etc...

    D&D General Homebrew Rune Initiate (Feat)

    It can be a 2nd level spell for you. Not that cool though. You can shorten the casting time from 1 hour to 10 minutes or 1 minute since I do not thing that matters. Not sure this does anything cool though. You can get a unique ability to inscribe a minor explosive rune 1/rest. Maybe it is...

    D&D General Blending individual checks into group checks

    I tend to determine the consequence by the amount of failure. If you fail by a little, then not much but fail by a lot and the trap might go off or the bad guys hear you or spot you. I was watching a video today by someone I have not seen before and he was talking about skill checks and...

    Spoilers The Great Wall (2016)

    I seen it twice and it was ok. Had a few moments of cool abilities and stunts. Not as much subtitles as I expected. Kind of a goofy premise with alien monsters and such, but like D&D just go with it. I recall something about the movie not being able to do certain things or could only show...
