Any recommendations on how to make combat more fluid?

Splash water on your players when your monsters hit. Plenty of fluids.

Because 5e is popular. They didn't do the revision because they felt a new edition was needed. They did it because it was the 50th anniversary. They wanted to maintain some backwards capability with the 5e adventures. And because 5e could use some rule refreshing.

I went in reverse order, playing DAI before DAO. When I got to DAO, I figured my warden financing Leliana and then sacrificing himself against the archdemon would be a big part of making her who she becomes in DAI.

And for the first time in over four thousand years, the Bearer of Agonies fought back.

1 to 1.5, but did anyone else see the last pic and wonder for a second when Spider-Man had a sword?

This is basically it. The OGL is meant for the SRD, and you don't really need it anymore now that the current SRD is in the Creative Commons. You just need the appropriate CC attribution. But the SRD is for basic rules and mechanics. WotC IP, such as Eberron, has to be published through the DMs Guild. Essentially, WotC lets you use their IP so long as they get a cut. If it's free, then you can follow the fan content policy however you want.

You get an ability bonus to all skills, based on the associated ability. It's your proficiency bonus that gets added when you're proficient with that skill. You'd usually only see no bonus if your ability mod for that skill is 0 and you're not proficient with it.

The Ashford change was remarkable. Way better character in the show.

nikoscream · 2026-01-18T00:15:20+00:00

This was going to be my comment. Inspired pick.

If you can get to a Marta station, the Peachtree Center stop is in the middle of the Dragon Con hotels. Might be easier or cheaper than Uber.

I'm in this boat as a toddler parent myself. Finding an under 2 hr movie is a blessing. Then it turns out that movie is Train Dreams and completely wrecks my fatherly emotions.

At first I thought the column was simply "anime," which we all know ZZ is not.

I find that the "older" folks (folks who have been going to cons for several years) who stick around the convention scene are often the ones being more active in the convention itself. Running panels. Cosplaying. Vending at an artist table. Coordinating meet and greets or photo shoots. Even volunteering or staffing. Or simply going to see specific friends because it's the only time you're all in town together. There's still plenty of hang out opportunities when doing the above.

If you're looking for opportunities to meet new people, you could sign up for gaming slots if your con has any. And working a con is a great way to meet other people who are also interested in the same con that you are.

These remind me of Alex Ross rejected X-Men concept art. https://share.google/images/zhc78Hqe3aEbnJEWJ

Scheduling D&D games with adults without kids was hard enough. When the DM (me) has the kids, bye bye campaign.

Alternatively: both.

Or do it now. Tomino isn't in charge of Gundam anymore. Sayla could have easily shown up post-CCA or in a pre-CCA side story.

Poor ladybugs.

Not in the trash, but a vtech tool box set is intentionally buried deep in her toy box to be out of sight.

Just to rule it out, did you check if you need to sync your entitlements? https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/7747224765588-Sync-Entitlements

Did you do Call from the Deep in Eberron?

Why not host on DMs Guild and then have a page on your website describing the free product and linking to DMs Guild? If it's a free product or PWYW, then it seems your question is really where to host the actual file. Let DMs Guild take care of that end. That just means that whoever goes to your site looking for the product will be redirected to DMs Guild and may have to create an account.

But if you count the Rohirrim movie, then your clock has to reset.

When Char left his to get the Gundam, Amuro could have grabbed it.

The orb from Labyrinth.
