    Vecna Lives! In Cambridge, MA, and he promises a better world through better technology!

    Apparently, Vecna Industries are making necromantic golems *cough* I mean... robots to assist in various settings to offset growing human labor demands... I guess so long as the user manuals don't require attunement, I'm sure they're perfectly safe. And, is it me, or am I seeing a hand and eye...

    DDAL Can Tales of the Yawning Portal be ran as DDAL content?

    I'm a little confused by the wording on this product page. Basically, I have players who want to level up DDAL PCs to play in a level 5-10 convention play AND we want to play some TotYP adventures. Can we "kill two birds with one stone"? Sounds to me like we can?

    D&D 5E What homebrew rules are you using for level advancement?

    I believe that the base rule of only requiring sufficient XP unsatisfying for allowing PC level advancement, and I've been reading through the 1st ed and 2nd ed DMGs for some guidance. One pertinent quote from Gygax in the 1e DMG: That sounds cool, however, if you go on further to read the...

    D&D 2E Guidance on comparing 2e HD (or XP) to 5e CR (or XP)

    I know this has got to be out there somewhere, but my Google searching is not helping me out. And, I've checked the 4 page D&D 5e conversion PDF. I'm looking for a rough approximation for comparing monsters in AD&D 2e to D&D 5e using the HD (and/or XP) and comparing to CR (and/or XP). I know...

    D&D 5E D&D 5e Night Below Conversion Question: All the Magic Loot!?

    I'm reading through the Night Below Box Set, to create a D&D 5e campaign with this, and I am amazed at the amount of magic items available. By the time I'd see the PCs at level 5 or 6 (through book 1), they would have a treasure trove of various magic items, weapons, and armor. It doesn't seem...

    D&D 5E Any good (free) character builders now that SRD is out?

    As the title asks.. Excuse me if this is already a known thing. I've ignored this for months since last I checked that nothing was being done due to "No OGL" to allow one to do so. But now that I see this is available, surely someone has already got something up? I did find this one via...

    D&D 5E Eldritch Knight + Magic Initiate feat

    If an Eldritch Knight gained the Magic Initiate feat AND you chose the wizard class. Would the result be that you add 2 cantrips to the table on page 75 of the PHB? i.e. at levels 3-9 you'd have 4 and for levels 10-20, you'd have 5 cantrips? I think the second part of the feat is self...
