    D&D 1E Forgotten Realms in AD&D 1st Edition a better setting for adventures?

    Realize that your post was a couple of years ago, but Sembia, Dragon Reach, and southern Lake of Dragons were off limits at the time for development. They were intended to be zones for the public. Raven's Bluff/Living City/the Vast was for the RPGA campaigns. It was kind of a big deal for...

    RPG Evolution - The AI GM: Your Somewhat Unreliable Familiar

    They're opting out now by not posting their work anywhere, unfortunately. I can't blame them. The larger digital art repos have done nothing to block or meter the very obvious traffic from the scraping engines. Some folks are pulling down their stuff. Some are salting their stuff with...

    Is Resource Management “Fun?”

    Depends on the resource and context. Unless I intend to emphasize survivalism, crafting, or "a person out of time" scenario, I am not counting your bullets, arrows, spell components (unless the spell component is intended as a clear balancing measure for the spell) or things which I...

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Need sage advice. I don't know if either INT or WIS is the appropriate ability for a gaslighting check.

    D&D General How Do You Feel About Established Lore

    I use it for some inspiration and ideas, but not as far as adaptation. I like reading it, though.

    GM Confessional

    I don't do funny voices. Ever. Not even if I can do the accent/voice. If I am pressed, I will make the dwarves sound like they're from Pittsburg and the elves sound like they're from Minnesota, because once I am personally annoyed, I will start breaking verisimilitude. I sometimes prepare...

    D&D 5E Chronicles of Eberron Is Keith Baker's New D&D Book, out now!

    D&D 5E What do you need for Dark Sun that is already out there?

    Epic bosses need to have badass epithets. Borys, Butcher of Dwarves. Karnak, Eater of Hot Ones. Method Man.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Adventure & Prelude Details Revealed

    They were literally a set of platinum disks bound by a golden ring (though the animated movie showed them as weird CD-ROMs on a spindle). They were heavily influenced by the stories of golden plates from the LDS church, of which Tracy and Laura Hickman are members. I don't want to get into...

    RPG Evolution: The Trouble with Halflings

    To bring this to the original question (which is a fantastic feature of this site.. all you gotta do is go to the top of the screen to get on track with the thesis), I do a lot of different things with halflings (and other ancestries) as we go from world to world (assuming the world has...

    WotC Is Mike Mearls still in WotC?

    Those are paid actors, streamers, and professional spokespeople and don't run WotC any more than Gal Godot or Halle Berry run Revlon.

    D&D 5E What should an official Indian subcontinent inspired setting have?

    Beyond simply religions, there's several major "source" language families represented that grew out of ancient civilizations, and they reflect differences in cultures. There are a lot of isolates in those languages as well, influenced by some of the very pronounced geographic features. The...

    D&D General Not Railroad, Not Sandbox ... What else is there?

    I try to do the bingo card part, but I won't tell them they can't go do their own thing. I will explain to them what I have prepared for in very general terms and that I can adapt, and that I'm willing to go where they do, but there's an efficiency tax when they start going places I didn't...
