    D&D General The thunder blessing - 2 generations later

    I liked that plot thread too, and it's a shame it was never followed up at the time. Short stubby people never seemed to get as much love in the game line or metaplot as slender hot elves or tieflings, or gothically angsty shades or drow... Some stuff to think about: Why is it called the...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    I'm not entirely sure what this poll is intended to prove, but I voted the second option. I would have checked it out. I checked out 4e when it came out and decided it wasn't for me, I checked out D&D 2024 and decided to stick with 5e for the moment at least, although I've stolen some of the...

    Do you use "voice acting" when you play?

    I try to have distinct voices for important NPCs, but I’m not a professional voice actor and can’t improvise voices worth a damn so I have to plan and practise a bit beforehand, so it’s not practical to do it for every shopkeeper or guard or urchin. My current campaign is the first time I’ve...

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Abeyance, huh, yeah, What is it good for?

    Bonus points if you can think up some cleverclogs way for your wizard to get Find (Greater) Steed on their spell list.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Abeyance, huh, yeah, What is it good for?

    Find Familiar is an obvious one. The character who triggers the Arcane Abeyance-d spell is considered the caster, so you can let everyone in the party cast Find Familiar. Then let all the familiars cast it. And so on ad infinitum.

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    I try to give all the taverns is my games funny names when I’m DMing. It makes them easier to remember. Most recently, the Unbalanced Ledger, a tavern in Kalaman mostly patronised by travelling merchants and traders, known for its dramatically sloping floors after a partial subsidence into a...

    Castleton is one you may have missed out on spotting so far. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/220414364/castleton-campaign-setting-dandd-and-daggerheart-compatible?ref=profile_saved_projects_live&category_id=Q2F0ZWdvcnktMzQ= I've been wondering how long it would be before we started seeing...

    What does a tank graveyard mean to you in your game?

    I read this thread title and assumed it was an Iron DM ingredient. And then I misread 'Sodor' as 'Sobibor' here, and went to a pretty dark place...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    Congratulations on a well-deserved victory @AustinHolm ! Real life has meant I haven't exactly been able to put my best foot forward this year, but even if I had, it may not have been enough. Your entries have been exceptional, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    It's 9pm and I'm typing away frantically here, after discarding my first two ideas... In previous years, trigger warnings have been specifically excluded from word count. Is this still the case?

    WotC Wizards hiring D&D Creative Brand Manager

    I’d need to do a search back in the enworld archives, but didn’t WotC advertise for an almost identical position a year or two back?

    Best RPG for Arabian adventures

    I ... knew that, and I'd completely forgotten! Thanks for the reminder. I did buy that product, thought it's a while since I've read through it. I was a bit sad to see the end of the hakima though. And if i was writing Al-Qadim from the ground up now, I'd move on from the elemental wizards...

    Best RPG for Arabian adventures

    While I confess I have not watched the 18 hours of this analysis, in defense of a setting I am extremely fond of, I should point out that this is not a unanimously held opinion. The 20ArabiaRPG youtube channel also did a multi-part analysis of the line (at least of the main setting box) at...
