I do something similar in my games, but only when it comes up. I say "You can hit the creature if you beat it's AC, but if you beat it my 5 or more, you can hit the specific target you mentioned."

It'd be nice to see something more solid added!

Hey game masters, are you looking for somewhere to discuss all your devious plans that you can't share with your players?

Vagabond is now the #2 Most Popular game on DriveThruRPG!!! I have no idea if we'll hit #1 during all this, but good god it's been a hell of a rush seeing it take off.

Been a long time since I've edited gameplay, but this moment in #ArcRaiders was enough for me to bust out ol' reliable (Sony Vegas Pro 13).

This is so interesting. I love how you can see the chart spike at the levels where Fighters gain their extra attacks, too.

A graph showing gross damage per encounter for a D&D 5e fighter. It shows each level and uses two bars to compare that gross damage for a fighter who uses at-will abilities and one who uses as many daily abilities as possible. The daily power damage output starts out as double the at-will damage and ends at about fives times as high.

If you run D&D 5e, you might find that your boss monsters die easily. There's actually a simple reason for that!

The game was built around the assumption that characters would engage in about 20 rounds of combat between long rests.

We were probably off by a factor of 5.

My favorite form of initiative was in my buddy's EDGE OF THE EMPIRE game a few years ago.

I'm not sure if it was RAW, but it was basically normal rolls and slots, but then the players chose turn-to-turn who fulfilled what turn slots based on what they wanted to do.

I want to steal it for my game!

This may be one of my best finds as a collector of "well loved" fantasy media. And as a long-time @mattcolville.bsky.social viewer, even more so!

One of my favorite stores is #Bookmans in Flagstaff, AZ. I've spent so much time there, and it was where Caitlyn and I met โ€” later, where I asked her to be my wife.

They are mistreating their workers. Unfair wages and no-warning firings. Do better, or you will not have support in Flagstaff.
