    D&D 5E Question on Mass Combat Comparison

    The 2017 UA for mass combat had you assigning a battle rating to units based on CR and number of creatures. Then during a battle, both units would roll 1d20 plus their BR, and the winner accrued casualties on the loser. Great for in your head calculations and broad narrative, but then it falls...

    D&D General Pros and Cons of Combining Hells and the Abyss.

    Over the years I have had them combined and seperate. Looking to nail it down for my homebrew continuity and looking for constructive inputs for and against. At work, might be a while before I can post, but I can view replies.

    I saved D&D (Humor)

    So....I had been on the fence, but after much thought yesterday, I cancelled my D&D Beyond subscription. I told them "I cancelled my sub because of their poor decision to try and "revoke" the OGL after years of mutual benefit to 3rd parties and WotC, and promises that it would remain open. I...

    D&D General Not gonna worry, Will just keep playin (+)

    I've been here for nearly the entire D&D ride, and at first I was concerned about "today's news". Cause I'm a big fan of Dancey and his efforts. But I realized that it doesn't matter. I am just going to keep on gaming. Ninjas will not come to my house and take my books (and even if they did I...

    D&D (2024) OneD&D and Beyond20

    I wonder how their acquisition of Beyond and digital plans will affect things like Beyond 20, a web browser extension that let you use D&D Beyond with Roll20?

    D&D 5E My Cosmos and Spelljamming Final "?" Revision

    I started D&D a long time ago when the genre smoothly mixed sci-fi and fantasy. So in my mind's eye, and my long running homebrew campaign, many of the planes from the D&D cosmos that were not "transitive" planes, were merely other worlds orbiting other suns in remote systems. Magic was...

    D&D 5E Immaterium as Astral

    I think it would be kind of neat if the Astral Travel of spelljamming kinda worked like traversing the immaterium in 40k. Propably would not use it for a long campaign, but it certainly has potential. Reading a description from this link, the githyanki could be the only ones with a "space...

    Followed Conversations Emails

    I don't understand how to receive emails from threads I am following (not the ones I've merely participated in). I go to the top of the thread, click on watch and receive emails, and I dont get anything. I went to my "watched list" and saw a check box for "email" so I checked that also. Still...

    D&D 5E Review/Critique Soul Gems for 5E.

    Just a spontaneous working idea I might come back to in a couple of days after a long work week; Soul gems "similar" to Skyrim. This is a rough outline of thoughts, please give any/all inputs* *what was that acronym we used to label threads with that meant "review and critique fairly"?

    Incidents of Full Stop.

    I've tried looking the the phrase "Full Stop" as just a term, but it always hits me right between the eyes as rude and dismissive. I feel like people are saying "You are wrong, this is right, end of discussion" to me. Meh, I vented, I'm good now.

    D&D 5E Border Ethereal - What am I missing?

    So I can't find any way to step out of the Border Ethereal for travelers in 5e. Seems the intent is, cast plane shift, go to deep ethereal, find curtain of color for destination, step through curtain into border ethereal...but then what? You are on say the Plane of Fire's border ethereal...

    D&D 5E Two more Classic Settings to go

    Didn't see anyone discussing this, maybe it had been confirmed elsewhere already and I missed it? I know we are always talking about which classic settings, but this is the first time (I) saw confirmation of 2 more. https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-setting-classic-ravenloft-wizards-coast/

    D&D 5E Planar Travel and Dream of the Blue Veil

    First, let me clarify that this is a minor question of my own concerns, due to the way my cosmos works. Nearly every "plane, realm, or world" is actually a planet, floating in space. The darkness in space where starlight doesn't reach is the "Void" (scientifically improbable, I know.) The...

    D&D 5E Etherealness, Deep Ethereal, and Plane Shift.

    Looking for an interesting discussion, fluff and/or rules references are fine...but no right/wrong derails please. (see those other two threads... :D ) Set up: A big part of my campaigns were "lower" level characters using the ethereal to get to the deep ethereal, and thus travel to other...

    D&D 5E Using Immortal Spheres with MTG Colors

    A side project of mine is a setting with Immortals in OD&D. Bringing the Spheres to the forefront of the campaign. Was considering how the MTG colors would map onto that concept. Maybe a MTG/Immortals are Planeswalkers thingy. Who knows? So far; Matter - Green Energy - Red Time(Space) -...
