    D&D 5E What are you looking forward to more Vecna: Eve of Ruin or Quests from the Infinite Staircase

    I don’t understand either. Believe me, I realize it’s strange and weirdly specific. A certain prosperity theologian televangelist, actually. No, I’m not going to say his name. I saw him on TV once when I was two years old and used to have nightmares about his face from the ages of two to...

    D&D 5E What are you looking forward to more Vecna: Eve of Ruin or Quests from the Infinite Staircase

    Short version? I blame my autism. Slightly longer version? Because aside from Dark Sun’s dwarven banshee and Mystara’s radiant lich—both of which have unique in-setting lore about them—for some unknown reason, my brain just really dislikes the concept of undead in tabletop games. Whether...

    D&D 5E What are you looking forward to more Vecna: Eve of Ruin or Quests from the Infinite Staircase

    Eve of Ruin. Even though I dislike Vecna and will never, ever use him (or any part of the lore surrounding him), the truth is Eve of Ruins will be more useful for my long-term plans as a DM. I first introduced the idea of there being different worlds in my home game’s multiverse to my players...

    D&D 5E Lists of Campaign Settings and Adventure Paths for 5e

    HOW DID I SKIP OVER THIS AMAZING RESOURCE?! Seriously, this is absolutely incredible, dude. I’ve been looking to add a couple more settings to my home game multiverse and this list is a lifesaver.

    D&D General If you were made president of D&D, what would you do?

    Release Dark Sun for 5e/5.5e/whatever-the-heck the edition is actually called inside WotC. Title it Dark Sun: the Dying World of Athas. Similar in layout to Eberron: Rising from the Last War. Art style inspired by Gerald Brom, Frank Frazetta, and similar. Book assumes that Kalak has only...

    D&D General From now on in my games, Black Dragons and Dragon Turtles are the same species.

    Fair point, but since I create my own monster stat blocks and make it a point never use the official ones, this particular issue is not going to be a problem for me.

    D&D General From now on in my games, Black Dragons and Dragon Turtles are the same species.

    Hmm… hadn’t thought about hybridizing. You know what? I’m thinking a cone of acidic vapor. Cone of gas similar to canonical dragon turtle, but acid like canonical black dragon. Agreed. For those unfamiliar, this isn’t a exaggeration. There’s a lady who lives a couple miles south of me...

    D&D General From now on in my games, Black Dragons and Dragon Turtles are the same species.

    Title says it all but for context, I live in the eastern United States. We have snapping turtles, which were the inspiration for 5e’s dragon turtle art. Anyway, this morning, while taking my dog for a walk, I saw this handsome fellow hanging out by my mailbox: First thing I noticed is how...

    D&D General Which Gods/Pantheons do you use in your D&D setting?

    At present, my home games use a pantheon of five gods. They might be known by different names in each of the settings I run games in (or different names by different cultures within the same setting), but they’re the same five deities. The fun part (for me anyway) is that not only do the...

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    Don’t see what all the fuss is about, personally. Wizard casting shield against a bunch of animated library books. I like it.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Canceled. The guy currently DMing caught COVID. Again.

    Dragons. I always include them and I throw at least two dragons at my players in every campaign.

    D&D General Curated monster lists - world building

    I prefer curated to kitchen sinks and my home games are therefore set on a world where various settings (WOTC and 3rd party) exist as different time periods. Also, just for fun, the sun is a different color at each of the four primary time periods. Generally speaking, each region of any given...

    D&D 5E Dragonix's Deadly Denizens has been unleashed at DriveThruRPG!

    As someone whose home game dragons DON’T have wings, the artwork of these chromatic lindwyrms is greatly appreciated.

    D&D General What’s your D&D New Year’s Resolution?

    As a player: Play as a totem warrior barbarian—whose personality can be summed up as “dwarvish Captain America—in my group’s next campaign, due to start in January! As a game master: Start work on my next campaign, perhaps best described as Lord of the Rings meets Gamma World meets Legends of...

    D&D General Tech in DnD; What should be included and how much is too much? (+)

    Reply to OP. Short answer? No bullet shooting guns for me. If the other players want to use them, I’ve absolutely no problem with that. Long answer? As a player, no character of mine will EVER use or carry a “slugthrowing” firearm. You wanna give me a flamethrower or some sort of...
