I didn't look it up until now because I was planning on doing Trickster, but holy shit Trickster makes straight 20 rogue, barbarian, or fighter very viable: Athletics rank 1: remove one negative conditions when you make an athletics check in a round. Rank 2: if you fail a saving throw, make an...

You'll be okay if you're just playing core rules. A lot of the ratings people put on classes is based on unfair difficulty where you have to cheese to get 70+ AC. I have a rogue/vivisectionist as a tank I'm making. Not gonna dip into anything else, and it should be fine. However I do recommend...

Yeah that sucks. I used to cheat when I was a teenager; I think most of us did to get a one up on each other. Eventually we started playing with adults and found the joy at the table of failure. The rogue failing the stealth check and running naked down the street with his clothes after getting...

He did not. I kind of wanted to know myself but haven't found anything about that yet.

TL;DW. He finished the game, so the game is done. No gamebreaking bugs, but a few side quests couldn't be completed. Other cons were not a lot of space to use mounted combat, repetitive enemies (not much else can survive in a demon wasteland besides demons...), and enemy sizes closer to the end...

First session on Saturday went well. Of course in the group text the day of the game I get requests for someone to bring a friend who wants to try it out, etc. Went from 4 players to 5, with 2 more potentially joining next session. I am totally not prepared for new players after playing with a...

In the game the enemy is also stupid and wouldn't do things they would in table top. You could play a straight up sorcerer/wizard and just saturate a choke point with pit, sirocco, stinking cloud, cloudkill, web, grease...and they'll run right through all of it. Facing a group of 20 mobs? No...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32097681/new-orleans-saints-cancel-preseason-game-vs-arizona-cardinals-hurricane-ida-looms Just when you thought it was safe to watch the Saints without Katrina being brought up 10 times a game...

Yeah I started buying them right before the one expansion with 1 Huge mini in each pack came out (War of the dragon queen I think). I just left EB games as Assistant Mgr to a corporate gig for 12.50 an hour. It was sad but I felt like I was balling at the time. Kind of wish I didn't look at the...

I worded that poorly. I should probably say it's not going to get as high as it would for a normal D&D game.

Thanks guys. I havent even played 5E yet, but I'm already making adjustments to keep things at a reasonable power level. The world is lower level magic, so a +1 armor or +1 weapon is the best it's going to get. I've made some weaker magic properties to add variety: Elemental reduction (e.g...

Can I ask you for some advice? Heres my situation (first session is this Saturday): I'm the DM. Been doing it 20 years but havent played 5e. I read the rules, but Most of the players will know the system better than me in the beginning. I have 1 veteran player, 2 intermediate, and 1 brand new...

Lol damn man you're right. I just looked up the prices. I didn't start collecting them until 2006. I wonder how many sets I missed.

Are you talking about the D&D plastic minis that came in a booster box with a random assortment? Cuz I bought a bunch of those a long time ago and I'm glad I did.

I apologize sir but we have shattered the Rams and exposed your weakness to the league. You see, Aaron Donald is so powerful his talent radiates a field that effects the rest of his team. The only way to contain this power is to surround him with 4 Offensive Linemen from the opposing team at...

Your post reminded me of how much preseason sucks: Fans: "did you see how great QB X looked in joint practices? Hes gonna be so good this year! We should definitely make the playoffs!" The same fans: "well yeah of course QB Y looked good in joint practice, it's only preseason so it's not like...

Strange helping Spider-Man could be a convergence of overconfidence and his emotional attachment to a friend overriding his common sense. It could also be, "I've done this hundreds of times before, something must have happened to the multiverse to make things go wrong this time." I'm also...

He realized that he's not going to get better crab legs outside of Louisiana and stepped up his game.

You're welcome to join if you're willing to drive. It's supposed to be in person, but if some people can't make it in person we can do online when needed. I haven't done online before though so it seems disjointed as hell to have part of a group in person and the others online. Never ran or...

Well if anyone lives close to Denton TX you're welcome to join. Its 5e though. Plan is every 3 weeks on Saturday night, hopefully getting it to every other week. (My wife doesnt play, gotta get her used to it before I drop the, "we're gonna play every 2 weeks!")

Decided to type out the overall campaign arc, so I figured I'd do it here and share. If you got any feedback let me know. Summary(TL;DR): Urdefhans living in The Beneath (Underdark) find an artifact called the Masquerade Machine, which transforms a being into a near-flawless specimen of another...

Yeah I'm cheating kind of, but the players don't know that. I told them the map is already made, but I'm just going to have premade set pieces and drop them into a hex when they explore it. We can only play every 3 weeks, so I have plenty of time to make new content to keep things going. I...

I could see that as their ceiling, possibly. Miami and Buffalo have good defenses, and Tua and Josh Allen aren't likely to have a bad enough game. NE would be your best chance, especially if its Cam week 2. You could beat the Panthers, Broncoes, Falcons, Bengals, Colts, Texans, Eagles, Saints...

Lmao ded game.

I haven't played in 8 years since I moved from Florida to Texas. Had a couple of kids and all that jazz, but finally found a group and we are shooting to start playing once a month (I'm hoping to make it more regular, but we are playing at my house and my boys are small and will be a distraction...

I was paying attention to Dolphins/Bears workout together this week. Beat reporters were saying Justin Fields was the best looking QB on the field almost every day. Never mind he was playing against the 2nd string, and both Miami and Chicago have sub-par O-lines and very good D-lines (Tua and...

I don't think playoffs are guaranteed. The two big reasons are that Miami has also improved, and Buffalo should still be good. The second thing is you're talking about Mac Jones possibly challenging Cam Newton. There should be no discussion of a rookie QB "challenging" or "pushing" a first...

Processes slow. Supposed to have a high football IQ but it isnt showing. Good deep ball but overthrows short and medium passes. Also his timing and pocket presence hasn't improved. Lastly, he doesnt seem to have the mentality. Like Shanahan said in the article, things break down and his first...

We will probably never have anything like the memories of Bowden vs. Spurrier ever again.

My wakeup call about how much WoW sucks was trying to imagine explaining it to teenage kids. "Let me get this straight: you collect 10 bear asses to level up, move to another area where you collect 10 bear asses, and you basically mash these 4 buttons while you do that for levels 1 through 60...

Godbert Manderville and Yojimbo both hate fatties. Sometimes, people are too heavy and are crushed under falling pieces of giant bamboo instead of being knocked off stage. Sometimes, the teleporter for leap of faith doesnt work because they weigh too much. Don't ask what they feed the Race...

Imagine real life is an MMO, and there's a tried and true specialization for women that has existed for thousands of years. It's not always perfect, but it's been the meta spec since the dawn of civilization. Take the talents Not a slut, Don't be crazy, Devoted partner, and Traditionalist. The...

Not if we beat him to it! Now's our chance! Amod how much money do we have? I got $20 and about 7 mozzarella sticks I can throw in the air fryer for when we make our pitch. Edit: honestly if Ion became president that might be an improvement for wow. He'll be too busy fixing and overseeing we...

I'll try to summarize my thoughts and I won't bother you again after this. I promise. The reason several people are pushing FFXIV over WoW is a combination of factors. I'm not going to compare systems, or classes, or the story, or the gameplay. I'm going to compare what they are as an MMO, and...

@Sanrith Descartes you said to tag you if anyone else had an opinion about your daughter playing WoW classic or live: I think you should seriously consider FFXIV, and I say this as someone who loves WoW. The social scene is a lot more vibrant, the people are much friendlier and less toxic, and...

Sometimes it sucks being a hero. Want to stop having problems with Primals? Try genocide. Put every Ixal, Sahagin, Kobold, and Amaal'ja to the sword. Can't derive power from worshippers when there are no worshippers left.

From what I saw Ion isn't named in the lawsuit. Before he joined Blizz he was an attorney in D.C. Even the dumbest attorneys are careful of what they do and say because they know it can come back to haunt you. He's probably clean because he came from a more professional work environment...

So instead of going to Gilgamesh I went to play with some family on another server. Joined their FC and it's cool or whatever. It's a small RP guild. Then my family tells me, "yeah there's erotic roleplay too but that's totally optional. We have tavern nights on Thursdays at the house."...

Step 1: out of court settlement. Step 2: layoffs and restructuring, purging most of the people on both sides. Especially anyone that cooperated with the state. Step 3: Blizzard HQ moves to Austin TX. Congratulations, you played yourselves.
