Broke down and got an Amazon Echo. While testing its capabilities, @matthewmercer and I asked if Alexa could roll 4d6.

Alexa: “Ok, I’ve rolled 40 D6’s, and here’s my results…” and proceeds to list EVERY single die roll and the total.

Matt: Alexa just cast Meteor Swarm…#DnD

@matthewmercer @mattcolville @Wizards_DnD Quick Question: Does a Halflings "Lucky" trait also count towards death savings throws? Thanks for any input! pic.twitter.com/gN1mhiHxjv

It is considered a Saving throw, so I imagine it could be used in that instance!

hi, quick question: could a player use levitate to carry a 500lb cart through a dimension door?I’ll allow it. No idea what the rules say, but sounds like good shenanigans are afoot

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 7, 2018

as internets main source of Dming knowledge, can I ask a question?

Do you find that in open (Sandbox games) players always move on quickly and nothing ever gets wrapped up so players have 6 things on the go at once?
Or am I introducing too much at one time? Ya may be introducing too much, if you feel it becoming unwieldy. Consider ways that you can tie a few of the threads together/have them converge for a shared resolution. Help kill multiple birds with one stone

Design Cycle:
1. Last week, build a new set of rules for REDACTED
2. SO EXCITE, set up playtest
2. Friday, disastrous playtest
3. Later on Friday, useful feedback
4. Tuesday, revise, revise, revise
5. End of Day Tuesday: OPTIMISM LEVEL OVER 9000!

Let's see how they test…

Made some real progress on this design. It's a good design that the revision process trimmed the text down by about 20%.

— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) April 5, 2018

Believe me, we know how easy we have it in that regard. It’s nice being able to iterate with a few hours and a couple sheets of printer paper

Q for my fellow DMs: Where is your line between creating a challenging narrative for your players to navigate, and just being a cruel sadist putting them through the ringer, and how do you tow it? #Dnd @matthewmercer @mattcolville @satinephoenix @ratkingnow @ChrisPerkinsDnD

— J∀CK (@jack__hg) April 5, 2018

I’m not a cruel DM or a sadist. I take the full measure of the characters’ actions and inactions, consider the possible consequences, and roll with the ones I think are the most fun. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/BVAt4xRZO6

Not a sadist? I beg to differ… remember when you kept putting acid pits in your maps to hear Aelofel scream? ☠️

— Spoopy McSpoopster (@buttfckyoursoul) April 6, 2018

That was just good drama. #wotcstaff https://t.co/nhl0hFYYhW

This land was once ruled by a splendid queen
Who sword-to-sword slew proud kings three
Long centuries now her match hath not been seen
Her grave lieth ’neath yon withered tree.

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 2, 2018

She kissed the storms as she fought them, defying all the thunder.

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 13, 2018

In Dead Kings’ Lane the pleasure-queens look older
As they loiter ’neath guttering torch lights
And the wind glides colder as the monsters grow bolder
Soon come their raiding nights

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 13, 2018

She devours, smiles like a shark, and moves on. Like a dictator now safely dead, life is quieter in her wake.
