So I have a DM currently that I've played one session of D&D 5E with (but this could apply to any game really). The DM claims to be writing a novel and wants to use our game in the novel. He brought a large binder that I believe he has already written a lot of ideas in. What are your thoughts...

Humans have a hard time remembering names, particularly foreign and new names that can’t be associated with a familiar sound or experience. If you met a person named “Basmus” (actual Swedish name) on how many different occasions meeting Basmus would you have to ask him to remind you of his name...

Sorry for posting such a basic and non-D&D question. I figured it comes up a lot around here, I can't get the numbers on the internet, and lots of people around here are probably curious. What would it cost to get an individual POD order of? 1) A 200 page black and white interior hardcover...

WOTC has a beautiful dream, and I'm feeling a lot of love from this company. It's really beautiful to see they're working on unifying people after all of the trolls flocked to my posts about modules supporting multiple editions and ending the edition treadmill. After all, despite some...

Everyone likes a good list post. Here's another one for you guys. What are your favorite monster-encyclopedias? I'm talking monster manuals that are fun to peruse for ideas on a Tuesday night. Monster books that are just good fun reads on their own right. Any edition will do. I imagine there's...

I'm not the most rules-savy DM. Frankly I find it unbearable to sit down and read paragraphs of rules. Usually this works for me but in my current game I'm starting to feel like I need to bone up. I just started PF and don't own the core book, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic, etc. My Pathfinder...

Sorry, more about the edition treadmill. Suppose I have a 1E copy of Village of Hommlet and my group plays 4E. I want to share that experience with them. My options are - Remake encounters for 4E based on my 1E copy - Rebuy the 4E version of what I already own for $77 on ebay - Convince my...

This started as another rant about why WOTC should reprint 3.5 but forked into a related train of thought. I'm edition-fatigued. We all play the same game with about a 1% difference between the editions/spinoffs/clones in what the actual game is. Those small variations on what is essentially...

Edit: My thesis was wrong. 4E actually does have a surprisingly large fan base and unlike the folks ranting about "imaginary numbers" I have data to prove it. The RPG.net poll suggests the game has an older fanbase that stick with the game through edition changes...

I'm sort of a young grognard and I'm trying to get folks to play C&C but I'm having issues convincing people to purchase the books. This isn't so much an issue with the exception of spell casting or buying items. Like everyone on earth these guys all own the 3.5 PHB. It's not really known for...

Hey all. I'm a long-time lurker but I'm pretty heavily invested in 4E like the rest of you. A mix of mild nerd rage and perplexity inspired me to write this diatribe about WOTC's recent business strategy and my psychology as a consumer. Hopefully the bean-counters at Hasbro will take notice...

Hey all. I'm Mitchell! I've never posted here but this seems like it's worth talking about. I'm preparing a Dark Sun-ish adventure and noticed a cool tidbit on page 5 of the "Free Adventure Day" (Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Product (Bloodsand Arena)) adventure...
