We were in an inn resting after a day's worth of adventuring. Throughout the whole trip they continuously made quips at each other. The human rogue apparently had a fetish for dwarfs.

So after some consideration they decided that they'd get a room together and play out their fantasy.

The DM expected lovemaking, some romantic words and awkward comedy that ensued from that.

He didn't expect that the rogue would start fingerfucking the dwarf before anyone on the table had a chance to leave the room.

>>52590141
>How do you keep your paladins from playing lawful stupid?
Uh, I've never had this issue?
The only paladins I've played with were either not really zealous at all, clearly playing it up for the power, or good guys, but brusque and at times offputting to deal with.
I play super nice guy paladins that have defined lines that lead to shitslapping, but always try to defuse the situation first.
The forces of darkness, however, get no such reprieve.

My play group lost a few people and we're down to just three of us; myself the DM and two players. We decided to start a new campaign focusing on Waterdeep, and since there are only two players I decided to let them have some extra stuff to make it more interesting. One of them owns a small cargo ship while the other owns a theater house.

This was a terrible idea. They are both entirely consumed in their own businesses and spend like 80% of their time apart from each other. The way our sessions have been going, I'll talk with one of them for 20 minutes about how their business is doing and what the character wants to do for the day, then spend another 20 minutes doing the same with the other player. Then this just goes back and forth for our 5 hour session.

The only time their characters are ever together is when I do some ridiculous ass-pull that forces them together. "Oh the magic sea compass you want is inside a cave..... that happens to be underneath the theater house." But of course that alone isn't enough to entice the theater-owner, he won't help, so I also have to add that there is also a demonic summoning circle in that cave which is threatening his theater house.

Then they'll kind of work together for one dungeon and at the end just flat out go "Okay thanks for the help, bye." And their characters go back to their own thing. I'm not sure what to do aside from just causing some catastrophe to take the business from one of them.

>>52591424
Wait what?
If a white dragon is medium why is it shorter than that dude's needs?

It's a medium creature. It's 5 feet long. How else could it hide behind a table in The Sunless Citadel?

>>52591418
An AD&D demilich is just an invincible wraith, or sometimes just a mad dust bunny. To get the effect of the AD&D demilich, put a fucking CR 5 wraith in your ebin dungeon and see if the PCs spent 50 fruitless attacks striking it pointlessly.

If the argument is "but energy drain is killer in AD&D! ebin xD" sure, but a regular wraith is much better, as they can actually make 101 wraith spawns in AD&D. If the argument is "what if they touch it?" how do you progress that far in a dungeon where touching anything instantly kills you?

So what's the best way to use Flumphs as a DM?

>>52591529
Is a human a large creature if they're 6 feet tall and fall prone, and therefore can't fit in a single square?

>>52591136
Toll the dead is fine cause it's the same damage as poison spray, a damage type that can easily be resisted depending on campaign, and saves for nothing.

The other cantrips do less damage cause they have bonuses, firebolt is easier to hit cause you just need to beat AC, Ray or frost is same but adds slow, acid splash can hit multiple people doubles the damage.

2e Council of Wyrms rules were, for almost all purposes, mechanically you using a dragon right out of the MM book, plus proficiencies etc.

Visually, I'd say that a typical Lizardfolk looks quite different from a Dragonborn. I'd imagine a Lizardfolk to have more serpent like features; sleek heads and bodies, while a Dragonborn would probably have ridges along their heads and backs, much like an actual dragon.

>>52592606
never been a factor for me when I've DMed, Screen is also good if you need a quick reminder on how a rule works.

Also it is a great way to block your notes/maps that you don't want your players to see.

In all honesty since we stopped playing 5E and started playing a frankensteined version of it I haven't had to use a screen, when I run a more traditional game for my kids I use a screen since A. they love the art on it and B. I can fudge rolls/hide maps as stated above.

>>52592458
Eh, it's just a minor "trap". The mage was just very very damaged already to die form 1d4 damage.

I mean sure, if you converted it to 5e, you'd be better off treating it like a patch of grease, like the spell.

>>52592478
How is fudging rolls to keep things fun/keeping players engaged "hating fun"?

Not saying you ALWAYS need to fudge rolls but sometimes keeping your group from exploding or keeping the game exciting or the action/fiction flowing you are going to need to fudge things once in awhile.

Some gaming systems don't need that fudge since sometimes fucking up IS the fun ( looking at you Dungeon World) but games that have coded crunch like D&D and Pathfinder you might need to fudge a roll here or there either way to keep the game interesting and keep your players from checking out due to "just a bad roll".

>>52592708
>>52592720

I hope it will be. The basic premise for the BoVD in the campaign setting is this

>Cyric, Prince of Lies, wants the entire material plane and eventually the entire universe to devolve into chaos
>he gets his hands on the BoVD and flings it to an unwitting halfling to expand his influence
>from there, Cyric hopes the halfling or get someone more capable to work on his behalf

>>52592839
The rules are in place because that's the only way a party can ever get challenged. The game already has a player bias, the average level 1 character is stronger than a lot of shit that would completely demolish the average peasant. They have access to online resources and the player handbook that allows them to understand the rules of the world and how items, spells and equipment work. So if you fudge a roll you are basically adding another layer on top of the shitpile of advantages players get.

>>52592840
Why not have it be the Cyrinishad with the same mechanics?

>>52592840
Sounds about right for his piece of shit self.

You can just be a fighter and have nothing but a machete/farm equipment and the clothes on your back.

I can no longer host the Mega trove. Effective immediately, I am removing all links to my shared troves and washing my hands of my role in /5eg/ (and other places) as a serial file sharer.

This is done for the sake of my players and my own future playing experiences.

To those who shared files with me via email: I will not be uploading that content. I appreciate your offers but I can no longer serve this role to this community.

Furthermore, I will be taking down the Github troves for my Roll20 script and 5etools itself. Due to its similar infringing nature, I cannot continue to develop that.

Variant human is best unless you're going quarterstaff+shield, in which case bugbear is nice, but you could just as easily go variant human with mobile instead.

I'm relatively new to dnd and was curious about the spell catapult. Does it auto-hit? Or is there something I'm missing because guaranteed 4d8 seems like a lot for a first level spell.

A lot of them are pretty useless or uninspired really.

The only Ceremony that's awesome is Investiture. Chaos Bolt has a great concept but meh execution (but a move in the right direction: more flavorful sorcerer-only spells). Zephyr Strike is interesting (for the same reasons, but with rangers).

Puppet is okay, but for some reason only applies to humanoids.

As often with UA, there are some good ideas but it simply needs more work. And sometimes "more" is "a shitload".

>"On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. In either case, both the object and the creature or solid surface take 3d8 bludgeoning damage."
So even if the creature succeeded the save it still takes the same damage unless I'm misreading it.

>>52592606
Unless you're a tiny manlet sitting in a tiny chair at a large table a fucking screen doesn't "separate" you from players.

I'm not going to say I had the same reason but it really fucking helped the decision.

>>52593758
Are you guys talking about github or the mega?

>>52593936
The intended reading is:
"both the object and the (creature or solid surface) take 3d8 bludgeoning damage" so if it missed any creatures in the way, it deals damage to itself and whatever hard surface it hits.

>>52593961
I personally copied the mega when this garbage started the other day and am suffering from a severe lack of 5etools

>>52593936
It means the damage happens to the object and whatever it struck regardless of whether its the creature or a solid surface behind it because it successfully dodged

>>52593928
>Go look up D&D Beyond considering that's all we get to use now
>Doesn't have a goddamn tenth of what the Github had

D&D Beyond is currently just a fancy srd. It has nothing and is not suitable for use.

I know it comes up a lot but is the Gunsmith Artificer decent? I've heard it's a little underpowered but it doesn't seem too bad.

If anybody can get me a copy of 5etools I can make a throwaway github account and throw it on so it exists again. I could also give out the account info so people could work on it.

How exactly do people DM with no battle mat? or visual assistance?

I don't understand how you can have combat encounters with no battle mat or some type of representation to keep people aware of where they are and what not...

One of my older friends was telling me that back in the day, people just used words for combat encounters in DnD.

How the fuck...? How do you know who that fireball will and won't hit?

I am asking because I have to DM a game soon and its in real life instead of online. Usually online I can use some type of application. IN real life.. what the fuck would I use?

>>52594193
A mat.

So the Detect/Protect/ ect. Evil spells are all about Fey/Undead/Abberation and not about actual alingment and the Paladin Smite is a flat damage boost. Does that mean I can remove alignments from my game without worrying about shitting on the Paladin or making the Paladin OP then?

>>52594193

How was the GM feeling during all of this?

>>52594193
You just ask your DM if you can do that, reasonably. "Can I hit this guy with my lance or is he too far away at the moment?"

But yeah if your players arent used to it, it might suck. Just use a sheet of paper, with or without grid, and put stuff on it. The only thing that's really important is how everyone is positioned relatively to each others.

>>52593078
Godspeed you noble son of a gun. I know you probably can't even say why you're removing everything but if WoTC has any brains they'll be hiring you for their new D&D online toolset.

Just get a mat. Gaming paper is also pretty cheap is you can't afford a mat right now

In any encounter with any degree of complexity that can get very hard very fast, doubly so if the group isn't on the same page in terms of relaying and retaining information.

It's especially true in games like D&D, where the rules as presented do care about specific positioning and distance. Five people mentally maintaining the (probably frequently changing) distances between their five PCs, plus enemies, plus relevant scenery elements, can all get overwhelming very quickly if the location is anything more complex than a hallway.

>>52594347
They said it would be modular so you can just take the things that you want. I don't think they've mentioned actual prices as of now.

I dunno, I like the fact that WotC is working on something and at least trying to get user feedback to make it good. But goddammit fuck I'm pissed that 5etools was killed, that thing helped me out so much I'm a bit lost now making my campaign.

Also I find that not having a visual aid usually results in distances getting really floaty, either you're always in range to do basically everything or you're out of range way more often than you think you probably should be, because the DM's headspace usually errs in one direction or another and any error in either relaying or interpreting the information can exacerbate this.

>>52594193
You use vectors, obviously. Many spells can be accurately modelled as vector fields and you can formulate a function that accurately describes the lay of the battle, and even integrate the battlefield and all that.

Since Fighters' Extra Attack feature ignores the usual two attack cap, a five level dip in Fighter will give my Paladin a third attack, right?

>>52594638
No, you'd need 11 levels in fighter to get three attacks.

When I first started playing my DM had some guy run into the tavern we were at just shouting how there was a hydra in his warehouse. No clue how it got there and we never figured out how and why but it was funny. Thank you for reminding me.

As for an idea, hydras have a swim speed and are at least somewhat aquatic. Could do something like boats have gotten attack in a river and the few survivors saw something reptilian with a long neck attack the ships and eat the crew. So your group might think Plesiosaurus but it's actually a Hydra that keeps its other heads underwater. If the head that the players can see dies then out comes another one.

Recently he began to include Roll20 assets in the MEGA, as well as on other sites. For the life of me I don't understand why he even bothered. After hitting the MEGA a few times and taking it down, I asked him to remove the items in this thread multiple times. He got upset and refused, for some reason. So we took it to the next level. If he'd just removed them we'd never have bothered with all this. If he'd removed all Roll20 assets from various sites under his control, your MEGA would be up now. But those are our assets and we're not allowing people to host them in violation of US law.

By having their actions have consequences. Seeing as how the paladin is a symbol of their god's will the people seeing a paladin acting in ways incongruous to the teachings of their deity could cause no shortage of problems like cults claiming to be following a deity's will due to the leader seeing the paladin do bad a time or two.

I don't care how I sound. Technically I don't have to give this thread any information or justify myself. I personally would have let the assets stay up but it's not up to me. So sorry you think I'm a douche, but I didn't have to tell you anything. Figured I'd explain since the MEGA guy made such a dour, mysterious post.

Well, you're not seeing my money anymore.

>>52595300
AHAHAHA faggot
I already have all the tokens. More than enough for me.

I'm more pissed that your actions led him to taking down the 5etools which were incredibly helpful. And about 1000% faster than using books for looking up information.
And for that I hope you choke on a dick and die.

>>52595434
What the fuck is Roll20? I could google it, but I won't. You know I won't. I never do.

>>52595473
Just leave.

>>52595479
Uh huh

>>52595397
Can you ask your bosses why customers have to pay an amount for electronic assets on top of having bought a physical hardcopy?

>>52595433
>$50
Really?

>>52595479
You're better off filing an official complaint.

>>52595300
To be quite frank you guys just lost more money then letting it stay up would've. Probably wasn't your decision but you're most likely as big a faggot as your bosses.

>>52595473
>made the comment in the thread
>you literally could have been any faggot shitposter trying to stir shit up
>didn't send him a formal email
>just resort to legal action after he didn't listen to a presumed shitposter

Wow good job. Over shitty tokens. Roll20 can die.

Anyone want some tokens? I'll send them to you. Fuck you.

Program that lets people play tabletops online. It gates a lot of shit behind a paywall and puts the bare minimum into customer service and ease of life, but if you work around that, it's an alright system for running DnD if your friends are around the world.

>>52595518
Upload then someone on a dummy account and I'll download then out of spite.

>>52595251
T-thanks anon. You're welcome.

>>52595473
You might not care, but you're just making bad press for your company. Again, you might not care, but this will have consequences. And I do not mean that in a "we do not forgive we do not forget" bullcrap. I'm saying that as someone who can, and who will tell a lot of people to never buy anything Roll20 related.

Now thanks, and fuck off.

>>52595507
Well, it's a bundle rather than just tokens.

It's no worse than steam selling whatever the heck they sell in digital copies instead of physical.

But, eh, I don't know.

If it's only the tokens that was uploaded then I suppose that's a thing.

>>52595518
Nah man literally anyone can do what they did with Tokentool and ten seconds

Well normally, the hits against the MEGA are enough. It says that Roll20 was the origin of the complaint. To a normal human being, that means: Remove the Roll20 stuff, reupload, go on with my life. A formal communication is something that takes a complaint to the "next-step" so I tried to tell him in the thread. It didn't work, he refused, so we went ahead and took it tot the "next-step", which I'd hope to avoid.

>>52595544
Yeah I know. I wanted to do it out out of spite.

Roll20 can fuck off. Here I was thinking of getting a subscription when I move across the country for running games with my friends. You hurt meganon. No one hurts meganon.

>>52595539
You know how many users from websites all over the net have told me that? In actuality a week later we'll have all forgotten this, the MEGA will be back without the Roll20 stuff, and we'll be going on with our lives with no damage at all coming to my company. Frankly you guys are committed enough to do anything truly damaging to Roll20 over this.

>>52595555
Can you ask your bosses why customers have to pay quite a substantial amount for electronic assets on top of having bought a physical hardcopy? Really curious, it means an investment means 100 dollars or thereabouts.

>>52595571
You'll do it anyway

Anyone have a backup of 5etools? Meganon can you just jump behind 10thousands proxies and put it up somewhere?
That was the shit.

>>52595555
>Post "formal communication"
>On an anonymous message board

Man it's almost like no one would believe you

>>52595587
Nah, I'm a pretty bitter person.

>>52595572
if you can't count how many people on the net have told you you're a shit, then maybe its time to stop being a fucking shit.

>>52595590
You're not listening, or you're not very smart. The appeal I made on the thread, go back and read it yourself, was an informal request. I was not required to do it, I was doing it for his sake. A formal communication moves out of my hand and becomes the lawyer's problem.

Me: Come on man just delete the Roll20 stuff. <----informal

>>52595572
This can't be a real employee.

If you cast a Zone of Truth around yourself and one other person, you can tell whether or not the other person failed their check. Is there any way for you to let that other person know that you purposefully failed the check as well? You could just tell him, but if you secretly succeeded the check, then you'd be able to lie and tell him that you're actually telling the truth.

its a tabletop thing which exists only because it is the best of the shitty tabletop programs. The technology sucks and its janky as fuck and the UI is godawful and they try to add way too many features instead of making the important stuff actually work but there's no real competition yet.

Tabletop simulator is apparently an able alternative.
