I turn 50 today. On the one hand, it doesn't bother me at all, but on the other hand, I'm being reflective on the subject. For example, not that I believe in destiny, but I enjoy serendipity: Maybe I was destined to play D&D? One of the history books on the subject - I think it was Game...

Okay, so... we're finally about to get April's OneD&D UA. Let's start the speculation for the NEXT OneD&D UA (Due somewhere around June 28, 2023). First off, they will (obviously) need to give us a working Monk. Secondly, I think they should try again with the Druid. Thirdly, I think they...

I've been making a bunch of playtest characters and it occurs to me that there is no reason at all to have Level 1 and Level 4 feats be separate things, if you make your "at character generation" +1 ability score improvement tied directly to your Level 1 "Background" feat. Well, there's ONE...

As most of you know, I run a LOT of Play By Post here on ENWorld. Six games, currently! I've made a few observations on the style over the last few years that I'd like to share with you. Food for thought. As always, I welcome your feedback. PBP is, at the best of times, a juggling act. The GM...

I ran a Spelljammer session with new players at my LGS on Saturday, and it featured a ship to ship battle (for reference, check out D&D Beyond Spelljammer Academy which AFAIK is free, though you may have had to "claim" it, whatever that means.) At any rate, there were several things that I had...

My Candlekeep PBP game should be wrapping up soon(ish), and I've had several ideas what to run next, and I wouldn't mind your feedback. (Whether you're playing in that game, or one of my others, or would like to get involved, if you read along, or if you just like to give your opinion on things...
