Let's say that I'm not too happy about the supposed new OGL thing and, in a fit of teenage-like rebellion, I wanted to move away from the OGL. I thought the list would be pretty long, but it seems even non-D&D-adjacent games have been released under the OGL. So, people of Enworld, would you...

Do you think there's any chance material bought now on Beyond will be updated (integrally or à la carte) with 2024 stuff or will a new purchase be required? I just gave up and decided it may be time to invest a little more in electronic versions of games to save some storing place, but since...

So I'm watching a playthrough of Final Fantasy 15 and the magiteck infantry of the evil empire has put me to peace with the concept of technology going together with magic and other fantasy elements. I guess my biggest gripe was more with the ''steampunk'' archetype and the gonzo/weird science...

hey folk, so I'm about to start DMing a new game of LMoP for my regular table which is in dire need on a little refresh on ''how to D&D'', so I decided to walk them through the starter set to re-learn the rules. They asked my to use pre-gen, which is pretty cool because that was my intention...

So, I know that Dragonlance background is pretty much set in a Humanoids vs Dragon-adjacent creatures theme. For those with more experience with the setting, what other types of creature would make sense? Does Ansalon as a huge population of giants? Or a tropical zone in which we could play...

'sup, So, say I removed proficiency bonus from the game. Everything is just an ability roll. Do the saving throws against a DC still work? Like, an Archmage, a spellcaster of 18th level, will have a spell DC of 13 (8 base + 5 int) and a spell attack bonus of +5. Would he still be able to...

Hey folks, With all that talk about subclasses at 1st level and pushing classes on a long rest chassis, I worked on a Basic take on everyone's favorite class; the Fighter! Modifications: - Most features from both class AND subclass are moved to 1st level. Higher level brings more uses but few...

So my hot take of the day is this: At my table, I'd remove spell slots, an instead have the player do a Strain check to avoid forgetting the spell after using it, like they do in the Black Hack 2e. Here's the rule: Casters have know spells and prepared spells, like usual When a player casts...

Again with a question (I'm on a roll tonight)! I cant do maths, but I'd like to know if there was a balanced way of bringing back damage multiplier for rogues instead of the pile of d6s. I think it went like this: Lv1-4:x2, Lv5-8:x3, Lv9-12:x4, Lv13+:x5. But back then it wasnt every turn...

hey folks, Can anybody tell me if this phrasing (taken from BG2): ''May shapeshift into the form of a werewolf once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 2 levels thereafter'', mean that the character gain 1 use of the ability at 1st level and 1 every time he gains 2...

Just saw this while looking for a LoZ tarot deck. https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/product/9781984824660-item.html Has it been announced somewhere? This the first time I've heard of it, a full 78 cards including all Major and Minor Arcanas mapped to game elements. Sounds cool.

As some can see, I've a lot of free time to spare today. My whole family is Covid-positive, so no kindergarten for my son, no job for my GF and I. Yeah! Another hot take with deep implication (nha really, just for funs) : what if I removed Proficiency bonus from my games? Let say my players...

So, taken from another thread: I want to remove intelligence as stat. At my table, low or high INT is generally badly played. I think a mix of class/background/race should allow in-game characters to know a lot already. A inhabitant of a world like Faerun or whatever should be able to know a...

So, quick question: I never played much with the earlier editions (BG videogames, some OSR games), but I quite like the lower modifiers granted by the ability scores. I think I'll use them in 5e. So, for those of you with experience with those systems: which one do you prefer? I personally...

Hey folks, So in my games, my players absolutely love the idea of druids but cant seem to manage playing one because of all the book/card/memos juggling required by Wildshapes. So I had in mind to use the new templates provided by Tasha's for the ranger's beast of the land/sea/air. Example...

So my friend just found in his basement this thing, which is clearly a French basic kit for one of the first editions. Can some players with more experience enlighten us about what is it?

Well people, the title pretty sums it all. I'd like to see what would a setting based around the myths and legends of the Americas instead of the usual faux-medieval Europe tropes. Ideally, we could go with a colonial-era technology level, but without the trope of the ''new world'' to explore...

So, quick question: my friend and I are working to publish a D&D-related system+setting: Can I, for example, change the name of an SRD spell but keep the effect? Let's say I wanted to change Fireball to Explosion, but keep the same effect? or, if I want to keep a spell named Barkskin but...

Just a quick question: Will the rules for Journey (and Weather or Encounters) reference a lot the new rules from L-U? Like, will the rules make use of the expertise die or the new mental/moral fatigue (Strain?) a lot? I ask because I'll probably buy L-U for the Journey rules (and Spell list and...

I found on an old usb drive the playtest documents for D&D Next (that would become 5e). Strangely, while re-reading them, I found that one version of the playtest had rules that pleases me more than the ones we have in the PHB. For me, the Playtest Packet 7 has the best rules: Focused on level...
