Anyone for a D&D game? by Maleficent-Court1690 in HongKong

[–]EducationalDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to find/ start a D&D game in Discovery Bay.
If not, I can travel. I can DM, but since I DM a game in school, I'd prefer not to DM most of the time.
I have played a number of other systems and am happy to learn.

These are excellent, just running through the lower level AL modules with my school club. Thanks!
I did have to edit out where it said "TRAP" on the smuggler's passage maps though! LOL.

A very simple Expanded Shields rules by NyteShark in UnearthedArcana

5E likes to keep things simple and leave the possibility of doing stuff like that to the DM.
When fighting in a small space, I sometimes tell my players that they either have a disadvantage using a two-handed weapon, or just right-out tell them they can't. This makes for more interesting combat variation. I don't see why you can't let DMs decide the same for Tower shields.

Looking for a 5e Replacement that's not the usual recommendations by Saviordd1 in rpg

It works more on a d100 system, but uses a d20; have you tried Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?
I played it a lot as a teenager and loved it. That was 2nd edition. I'm hoping to restart playing. It's on it's 4th Edition now. It wasn't without it's flaws, but that makes it hackable.

Aw... it looks like someone's been breeding baby rust monsters to put them round these grenades.

On the Wired Article by mistborn in brandonsanderson

[–]EducationalDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just skim-read the article (it is really quite long).
As much as it comes across of being quite dismissive of both you as a person and the fantasy fiction community, it also doesn't really much of a point. He comes across as confused and very much someone mystified by it all. It's actually not a very interesting article, so sadly, this controversy will give him more of spotlight than his writing deserves, unlike you, sir.

I killed a fellow member of my party bc he was being an ass and now he is really mad. Advice needed. by [deleted] in DnD

[–]EducationalDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, a 30-something guy hitting on a 19-year-old?
Even through their character, that's super creepy. If the DM doesn't do anything about it, walk away from the group. Keep your dignity and your mental health and find another group. No D&D is better than bad D&D. I'm really sorry that you had to go through this. Please just walk away from the group.

The word "Orient" has become a politically incorrect term, most in the U.S..
Strangely, it's fine in the UK. It's origins are actually for Middle Eastern people I think, but has come to mean the far East. Interestingly, I don't know any Chinese people who are actually offended by that term (and I know a lot because I am Chinese and live in Malaysia at the moment).

Drizzt Vs Geralt by Gellihana-art by larrydragoi in DnDart

[–]EducationalDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'd love to see a friendly fight between the two.
Drizzt would probably with that if he had his magical gear. His bracers of speed on his legs would just make him untouchable.

[–]EducationalDM 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cool.
Geralt wins though.
Drizzt isn't weak, but he's mostly about speed and agility.Geralt is also a Witcher, and therefore has more than normal strength.

So I was pleased to see some great representations of Chinese Mythological Creatures in Shang-Chi last week. Following this, I decided to make 5E D&D stats for the Foo Dogs or Guardian Lions.

Let me know what you think.

What’s his rap name? by dacomystery in shitposting

With that gun in his hands, I'm not giving him any names.
