So, we're slowly getting pictures from Amazon's upcoming Middle-Earth series, and I must say I'm absolutely appalled,—but also not the least bit surprised—by all the flak some of the creative choices are getting from subtle and not-so-subtle racists. [emoji37] A non-white dwarven queen! The...

Somewhere around this time, 45 years ago, the very first iteration of our favourite game was released in print form. Yay! http://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/2019/01/d-45th-birthday.html

As the title suggests, I was wondering what everybody thought of C&C. I've been reading a bit about it lately (during my quest for a system with a retro feel, but simple mechanics). Don't get me wrong, I really like 5E. But I also like the simplicity older editions had. Minus Thac0. ;) But I've...

Even though I'm currently DMing a campaign in the Realms, I somehow feel that it is too High Magic, Renaissance and generally too "upbeat" for my liking. I've always wanted to come up with a homebrew setting with an old-school feel to it. Maybe it's a false sense of nostalgia, I don't know...

Once I get a group going, I'm planning to add Great Weapon Fighting to the list of fighting styles Rangers have access to. I'm picturing a ranger wielding a longsword (versatile) with 2 hands like Aragorn wielding Narsil. Right now, rangers are already sub-par compared to fighters, so upping...

Hi. Even though I must have created the account on these boards quite some time ago, I've never been much of a poster. Recently I've been reading a bit about 5e and I must say I'm tempted to try it. When I was at university I played D&D regularly (3.5 Oriental Adventures/L5R mix) but when I...

I have a question concerning a cleric's channel energy ability. The book says "...causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (living or undead) in a 30ft radius...the amount of dmg dealt or healed is 1d6..." Does that mean each affected creature is healed 1d6 (in the case of living)...
