Tyler Kamstra

I'm a software developer by trade, but in my spare time I play a whole lot of Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop RPGs.

We reached out to our community and an unprecedented number of creators donated over 740 projects to be part of what we believe is the largest bundle ever.

The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is now available #BlackLivesMatter

@BrutticusForce @rob2e @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD A 1st-level spell recharging on a short rest available at 1st level would be 3.125 ((1+0.25) * 2.5), so somewhere in the 3-4 BP range seems about right. I would say 3 BP since it's not a combat ability and it doesn't lend itself to easy abuse cases.

@BrutticusForce @rob2e @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD Shapechanger is basically Disguise Self at will with a few changes (it's not an illusion, unlimited duration, won't disguise your clothes), so using the innate spellcasting rules are a good option.

I'm planning to live-tweet an initial read of the #Pathfinder2e core rulebook August 1st.

I intentionally skipped the beta to go into this with fresh eyes. I'm excited to see what @paizo is doing to innovate!

Best Race @TylerKamstra for those Monstrous babies!

@JeremyECrawford If a level 20 Wizard casts True Polymorph on himself to turn into a sphinx, can he cast the sphinx's spells? How does that affect the wizard's spell slots?

DMsGuild is having a Black Friday sale. 6 products, including my own Monstrous Races, are 80% off, and hundreds of other products are 33% off site-wide.

They also added new "Metal" tiers and Monstrous Races is an Adamantine Best Seller with just 9 others.

@JeremyECrawford If a Barbarian/Druid character uses Wild Shape while raging, does their rage damage bonus apply to their attacks? What about with animals like a Poisonous Snake where the animal's attack bonus appears to be Dexterity-based?

I attempted to delete a large folder, and the software hung with no feedback and then crashed without an error message via @code

I'm watching some programming tutorials to pick up some new skills and the person doing this video on ES6 syntax keeps using a different number of spaces every time she indents and it is possibly the most maddening thing I have ever encountered.

JUST PICK A NUMBER!

Anyone who was excited about my previous D&D book might be excited to hear that I just released my second.

The newest humblebundle is web design/development ebooks. Any other devs out there should take a look.

People have been telling me I need to watch Stranger Things, primarily because Dungeons and Dragons features prominently.

I just finished the first episode and I think it's an unrealistic representation of real D&D.

Everyone knows die rolls only count if they stay on the table.

@JohnnyVitell BP (Build Points) are explain in the Introduction under "Design Notes", which points you to the Race Builder rules starting on page 284 of the PDF. There isn't a compiled list of every races' BP, but each race includes design notes, including their BP totals.

Who has made a PC using the Monstrous Races book from @TylerKamstra?

Just made mine for an upcoming episode and that was some of the most fun I’ve had character building in a while! - Garin #dnd

@thedavegoff Sorry for taking so long to respond, I'm not used to people mentioning me on twitter. If you want to post a block of traits, go for! DM's Guild allows authors to publish "small snippets" outside of DM's Guild for promotional purposes, and I think this counts.

[Tyler Kamstra @TylerKamstra]

@armando_doval @JeremyECrawford Right, but if I step into the area of two wall of fire spells, specifically what happens? They both require that I make a save, but do their effects stack? In this case the two rulings you cited seem to contradict each other, and I'm not sure what the end result will is.

[Tyler Kamstra @TylerKamstra]

@JeremyECrawford What happens when a creature enters overlapping area of two ongoing spells like Cloudkill, Wall of Fire, or Sickening Radiance? Save against both, or just one? Do you suffer the effects of both spells?

[Tyler Kamstra @TylerKamstra]

@mikemearls I just published my first product on DM's Guild, and it's already up to #1. I'm a big fan of yours, and I would love it if you would take a look and give me some feedback.
