So in the end I am safe from Ghyrson shooting me with his autostubs? Then we played it right.♥︎

Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

Thank you! The issue is that Ghyrson and the goblins do their damage simultaneously (3+1-1=3, but if that’s 2+1 I still get shot but if that’s 3+0 I don’t).

It’s still so awesome to me that a roleplaying group is in Rolling Stone magazine.

There’s also cook’s utensil rules in XGE.

Cherries!
They’ve also removed Talks Machina.
Kudos to CR for listening to the backlash on this illconsidered project. They must’ve taken quite a hit 💸 but this was not a good idea. I mean, they have their fair share of bad sponsors like NordVPN or D&D Beyond but this was a li’l too much 🤷🏻♀️
Elves are of a culture that’s long familiar with magic yet respects magic and its ways.
I hope someone picks it up 😭
What a hole this’ll leave in the CR fandom.
Thank you, Crit Role Stats team for all your hard work! 🙏🏻
If D&D had only been a series of fights, it would’ve been the same thing, but the revolt happened when one char was doing fun fun village stuff and exploring and social interaction while the other char was healing up from bloody wounds in an inn bed for a week. I think they were only like three or four levels apart.
Now we use https://idiomdrottning.org/oh-injury instead for our HP realism purps. (Basically HP is fatigue/hope/destiny.)
My own reason for staying DM so long was that I had such a hard time trusting that the other DMs wouldn’t “cheat” (YMMV what “cheating” means as a DM). Finally I found some ways to talk about that in a clearer and less misunderstandy way.
Awesome map, btw! I have the dungeon cards from them.
It was such a awesome storyline though! Def made me interested in the game (but probably gonna skip it after all since I don’t think I like these kinds of games).
It’s good that it’s a concluded S1 storyline since a lot of us still have a lot of catching up left to do of Discovery. I just started S02E08.
You’ve already gotten an overwhelming amount of tips but here are my standard tips.
@Oszilloraptor@feddit.de @dnd@lemmy.world
Not that Dragons of Stormwreck Isle is bad but I like Lost Mine of Phandelver a lot better. You don’t have to play to a particlar ending either, just start playing and explore. 💁🏻♀️
It’s one of the best adventures of all time. ♥

Even outside of home if someone is curious I sometimes just say a scene and ask what they’d do or where they’d go 🤷🏻♀️
You’re at the edge of a misty, dewey forest at the break of dawn. In front of you is a castle, and there’s the forest behind you all glittering from dewdrops on the cobwebs. The nearest village is six miles away; you could get there in two hours or so. There’s a well outside the castle a couple of hundred feet to the left of the entrance, which is right in front of you. Whaddayado?
It wouldn’t be as blorby as I prefer but it’d be an intro to the main gameplay loop.
So while I’m always happy when people are criticizing D&D Beyond in particular or proprietary platforms in general, in this particular case it’s actually against the rules-as-intended to play a 2014 Oath of the Ancient in a 2024 paladin shell.
(All house ruling aside, of course, and heaven knows I love house ruling and how house ruling is an argument against D&D Beyond.)
2014 oaths that do not have a 2024 version are still legal in the 2024 shell, but for oaths that do have a 2024 version, you’ve got to play the 2024 version if your group is playing D&D 5.24.
The reason for this is that some of the updated subclasses have nerfs or that features from them have been moved to the shell or otherwise taxed. Or, even the ones that have been buffed have the same issue in some sorta bid for table balance.
The intent is that it should work like this:
If Beyond platform ownership enters the equation, the Beyond team has messed up.
(Again, the word “legal” is a little silly in a game like D&D which works best when groups can change any rule, mash up editions freely etc. So please don’t shoot the messenger here. I don’t agree with WotC’s decision here. I just remember them announcing that this was how it was going to work, even at the table with all physical books and no Beyond.)
