D&D General 'Playing D&D' (Without Playing D&D)

Look, if discussing D&D on EN World doesn't win this...

(Two weeks later - in Sponge Bob narrator voice)

I just want to know who the one guy who put EN World into 2nd place was.

Almost a year later:

Looks like the winner was "Worldbuilding," by two votes!

Though "discussing on ENWorld" is so close it is effectively a tie. And things fall precipitously from there; only one other option exists within 15 votes of the top, and that's "reading the books." The vast majority of the rest fall in the mid to high 30s (40 in exactly one case, "reading other books.")

Changed my vote after a couple of years. I've spent a lot more time coding macros into my VTT platform of choice (Roll20) than I used to.

Still no love for cosplay?

Commenting and discussing game here (usually during work hours) or with my friends over coffe/beer. Occasionally, i'll make 3d model and 3d print out characters (and give them to wife so she can paint them).

I used to spend more time reading novels, campaign settings, creating character concepts and world building. Now, just don't have time and don't care really.

I've really gotten into this myself over the past year. HeroForge has the option to download STL files, so I can turn a handful of files into a whole army. 3D printers have gotten a lot more reasonable in price (and faster, too.)

Looking back at my answers, they remain the same, and at about the same proportions!

Had to make a small change to mine - Worldbuilding has become front and center; I have a dozen journals I've bought in the last couple of years and am slowly working through them, building a new world in each. I'm up to 7 now (Dragons Must Die, Scions of Sckalmandra, Traders of Mabib, Blood Moons of Onigezu, The Fractured Realms, Legends of the Vaati, and the latest Iron & Sorcery).

Holy thread necromancy Batman!

I have to admit I have a bit of an addiction to Heroforge as well. I like painting so now I volunteer to help everyone design their character, print it and paint it.

I also support mz2450 (https://mz4250.com) on patreon, he has all the 2014 monsters, is working through the 2025 ones, many of the monsters from third party publishers. My only complaint is that I don't have enough storage room for all of them.
