In the excellent DM's Advice thread, this particular bit of advice caught my eye: Now, my initial reaction here is a big, heck no. Story, in my mind, is crucial in an RPG. But, stepping back a second, I wonder if there isn't a problem with how we each define what a story is. To me, a story...

Oh yeah. This was written by a gamer. https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81564899?s=i&trkid=0&vlang=en&clip=81751902 I WANT this module.

Forking this over from the https://www.enworld.org/threads/manual-of-the-planes-for-5e-on-dmsguild.700597/ thread where this sidebar is taking away from the excellent work those folks are doing. Something that was said in that thread caught my eye: See, this is how I feel about it. I was...

Now here's one that's got me a bit stumped. If an Order of the Scribe wizard drops a Dimension Door through his Manifest Mind, can he teleport a willing creature? For reference: And the text of Dimension Door (with my bold) Now, here's my question. How big is the caster when casting a...

Exactly how much thread crapping is allowed? That's mega-thread on the OneD&D forum about casters vs martial had some really productive conversations, squeezed in between a dozen pages of people thread crapping endlessly. Look, I get that a light touch is best, but, come on here. How many...

This is a followup on this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/do-you-see-fighter-players-at-your-own-table.698254/ So, in the other thread, there was a pretty solid 30% of tables that had zero single classed fighters by 7th level. This certainly mirrors my experience. And it does sort...

Ok, been noodling around with dumpster diving Forgotten Realms and specifically Waterdeep lore. And, I was planning something for use in Waterdeep. I wanted to introduce the idea of Battagliola (https://www.thearma.org/essays/BridgeWars.htm#.ZF7dt85ByUk) or stick fighting/mock combat on...

Someone just sent this to me. Is this new? Hadn't seen it before. Very cool. Interesting that the choices for classes are the base 4 plus paladin. https://www.dndbeyond.com/begin/en

Well I find myself laid up for a while with some back issues. So I decided that I am Going to watch a lot of the Star Wars series in chronological order. Not all of it mind you. Six seasons of Clone Wars is a bit much. I’m not quite that laid up. I hope. So I just finished watching Phantom...

Just binged this. Ok, that was a TON of fun. Good action, fun story, decent plot. Gorgeous shots. For all the complaining about Caville not being the Witcher next season, and all the back and forth about ignoring the source material, well, if this is what ignoring the source material gets...

The release of Dragonlance has got me thinking about how I interact with certain settings. For me, and again, I'm not trying to make a broader point here, just stating my own feelings, some settings are indelibly linked to the story that comes with that setting. And, honestly, I'm not really...

I have to admit, I’m kinda jazzed about this whole thing. With the added bonus of really hitting me square in the nostalgia feels with Star Frontiers callbacks. Cool concept. Great art. Flying ships. I mean this is a great big buffet with pretty much all my favourite things. But here’s my...

I came across this really excellent line from @Celebrim in the https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-power-of-creation thread. I thought I'd pull it out here because I think it really deserves it's own examination. I think this is something that gets lost in the conversation. For me, this is...

So. Just watched the first episode. The dance sequence was a bunch of fun. Hopefully that’s not really a spoiler, it’s been all over the trailers and such. Hitting a much different tone at the start. The characters feel much more developed and the dialogue was great. The relationships between...

Just kinda realized this. It’s completely out of keeping with mythological lycanthropes and wasn’t even true in earlier editions. At least not all editions. So why?

In another conversation here about Dragonlance, I had a bit of an epiphany. For me, Dragonlance was probably the first larger setting I ever really got into. Yes, I played/ran in Mystara (well, at the time it would have been the setting in the back of the Moldvay Expert rules), Greyhawk and...

Riffing off the recent Dungeon of the Mad Mage thread (D&D 5E - Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Adventure or Setting Book?) I thought I'd give a few thoughts as to how to make a mega-dungeon campaign work. Or, at least how I make it work for me. :D I'm an inveterate dungeon crawler. I LOVE...

Ok, disclaimer, I'm not a huge Transformers nerd. I watched the movies, I watched the old cartoons when I was a kid, I watched the hell out of the Beast Wars series when it was on and really loved that. So, when they came out with the new Transformers trilogy, I'm watching it as someone who...

Just had this come up in game and I'm not sure the answer. A character without a swim speed (or a climb speed in the case of climbing) needs to make a Strength (Athletics) check in order to swim and move half the character's speed, presuming difficult swimming conditions. I'm not worried...
