    Looking for Plug & Play content

    Are there any good resources for plug and play RPG content? The system does not matter as long as it's fantasy. I am looking for dungeons and locations that I can easily incorporate into my game. That means there should be a simple layout with minimal description to skim over and directly run...

    D&D General A simple tool to collaboratively create RPG rumors.

    Yesterday night I had an idea for an application that would allow it for people to look at RPG rumors online to spice up their game and get some inspiration. I know that there are random generators out there that sort of do this already. But I wanted more variety than just stuff being rolled on...

    D&D 5E Why sleeping shouldn't be a long rest

    Did your party ever try to go to bed after just waking up recently? Then you might be interested in this. The DMG on p. 84 suggests six to eight encounters of medium to hard difficulty per adventuring day. Since I often need to be flexible when it comes to the amounts of encounters per in-game...

    D&D 5E Understanding the maths behind 5e

    I am currently trying to dive deeper into the mechanics behind 5e. I was fascinated with PF2s structured approach in this regard and therefore wanted to see how my favorite system (5e) compares to it. 5e overall is a little bit harder to understand, mainly because the material is not always...

    Spelljammer Converting "Expedition To The Barrier Peaks" to fit Spelljammer.

    I had the idea of transitioning one of my campaigns into the Spelljammer universe. Why? Because it's awesome. That whole idea was sparked by me reading a 5e conversion for the "Expedition To The Barrier Peaks" module. I really like the idea of the party exploring a spaceship in order to...

    D&D 5E Is expertise badly designed?

    I am a fairly new DM. I have heard a couple of people argue, that rogue and bard expertise is a bad design choice due to its impact on the modifiers in the bounded accuracy system. Is it too strong or just right? I would be interested in hearing your opinions.

    D&D 5E Your Favorite 5e Houserule

    One of my favorite things to do as a DM is to fiddle with the RAW to adjust them to my liking. And I am sure that most of you do too. I always like to hear what other people come up with in that regard. It is great inspiration and sometimes you find a well thought out houserule that you ask...

    Pathfinder 2E Concurrent Initiative in PF2e

    I really liked Hemlocks idea of concurrent initiative he describes in this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/concurrent-initiative-variant-everybody-declares-everybody-resolves-was-simultaneous-initiative.513971/ Do you think this works in PF2e? I think the 3 action economy has solved...

    Flanking Rules

    Hello guys, I was wondering if any of you use flanking rules in your 5e games to make combat a bit more tactical. I would like to know why you use the rules or why you don't and also in case you do, what kind of rules these are. Are you using the alternative rules from the DMG (flanking grants...
