What are your thoughts on a bard that is mute?
what are your thoughts on a bard that is mute and uses a violin for the somatic components of spells? A proficient violinist can produce tones similar to a voice so wondering your opinion. That sounds really cool, actually! I’d allow it in my game.

Is there a way for someone to create bullets with spells stored within the bullet then and trigger on contact?
quick question for gunslinger. Is there a way for someone to create bullets with spells stored within the bullet then and trigger on contact? Similar to how magic arrows work. And if so would the crafting be similar to normal magic crafting? Should the DM allow it, I imagine it could certainly be done! Time-consuming and costly, but doable with DM approval.

Combat encounters: if you put neat elements into combat and the players ignore them..
#dnd tip for combat encounters: if you put neat elements into combat and the players ignore them, have the monsters/NPCs interact with them first. That lets players know it's there and shows them how cool it is. The goblins start rolling the gunpowder-filled barrels first!

How do you feel about the use of “men” as a synonym for humans, as in Tolkien?
How do you feel about the use of “men” as a synonym for humans, as in Tolkien? As in, Bruenor Battlehammer raising an army of dwarves would not refer to mustering “4,000 men”. That usage was English, then. For everyone. Writing is of its time. (How could it not be?)

Naturally! I guess I was just curious if “men” could be validly applied to nonhuman races, or likewise “elven women” or some such. "Men" shouldn't be. The non-human races all have their own terms for themselves. But a 'normal, everyday' human in a setting might say "dwarven men"/"dwarven women" or "he-dwarves"/"she-dwarves" if they don't know it.

“Your MAJESTY! Where WERE you?”
1)
“Nowhere!” the breathless Champion of the Realm panted grimly. “All three thousand and six—”
“SEVEN,” the Princess snapped. “Three thousand and SEVEN.”
“Pray pardon, Highness! Three thousand and seven rooms of the Castle…#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 3, 2018

…Naughty Nalansae, with the aid of the Royal Wizard. It’s my morning to crossdress, and doing and undoing all those stays is so TIRESOME.”
…have been THOROUGHLY searched, and I regret to report that there’s no sign of the King. We fear the worst.”
“Oh? And what would that be?”
“Your MAJESTY! Where WERE you?”
“Right here, all along. Wearing the illusory image of…#epic fantasy “But—but this was the first room we asked in, before searching the entire CASTLE!! …#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 3, 2018
5)
When I burst in, asking, WHY ever didn’t you just say you were here?”
“What? And deprive you lot of a golden opportunity to rush around the place waving swords and yelling? After all, that’s what adventurers DO. …#epic fantasy “Don’t want you to get bored in this unprecedented era of peace and prosperity. The gods know *I* do, playing King every waking moment.
