    Homebrew A Hardboiled Setting

    Could the players be brought in to explain how the classes work. You have the player tell you how playing a wizard works and what is the magic missile he is casting. Then the player can make up something that fits. Charm Person is rather easy to explain, but something else might not be.

    When Is Thread Hijacking Political?

    Then the question becomes who makes that call. I know it is really the mods and the owner of the site, but a member posts something and he might be pro side A and thinks that side B are all the bad people. Where others are just the opposite. The Pandora' Box of free speech.

    D&D General Advice for DMing for children

    I might also start with more: You are a group that... You have been hired to do... You traveled for ... Now you stand before... I recall a game with young Boy Scouts 30 years ago that never made it out of the tavern before that all tried to kill each other.

    When Is Thread Hijacking Political?

    I kind of view it as the thread not being about me. I think that there are many people on the site from other countries and cultures that may like people like that and want to take a second and post it. They may post everyone in that group throughout the year. Someone else might post only...

    D&D General Advice for DMing for children

    I would try to touch all three pillars. Easy riddles might be cool to some of them to figure out and others might like the roleplay part. Not sure on combat if you feel like limiting killing humanoids and should stick with oozes, undead and giant bugs. I think my sone was about 8 when he...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2026

    C'mon, I might have thought the same thing but this thread is for everyone and people can show some sort of awareness or respect to dead people without being trolled.

    D&D General Ideas for minions of a vampire

    A good sub-villain works to encounter before getting to the main vampire. Something like Renfield where he came from an institution and easts bugs and rats. The vampire has some sort of control over him and Renfield serves him as some sort of god. Give him some powers or he can be the...

    D&D General What articles would a good & free, fanmade D&D magazine have?

    Is it free though? I seem to have 3 scrolling ads on my screen right now trying to get me to buy something. I could upgrade and not see them, but then that is not free as well. Minded, I do not have a problem with the ads or the options of upgrading since I think the site should get the cost...

    Looking for a System to run InFamous

    Maybe the system you are most familiar? I mostly play D&D, so I tend to look to fit things into that system. Not sure I can be more help unless you want ideas to fit into D&D 4e or 5e.

    Kickstarter [Kobold Press] Hastening Doom 5E Adventure for Megadungeon Month!

    It's now tomorrow, but not Pacific time tomorrow. It's like waiting for the last time zone to hit tomorrow before computers can release it.

    D&D 5E (2024) CoDzilla? Yeah Na Its CoDGFaW.

    I still do not know what this thread is about since people still do not spell out the shortcut/acronym in the first post.

    In-Game Publications?

    Keep in mind that I never met an adventurer that did not embellish his story. W.W. Beauchamp: "When confronted by superior numbers, an experienced gunfighter will always fire on the best shot first." Will Munny: "Is that so?" W.W. Beauchamp: "Yeah, Little Bill told me that. And you probably...

    D&D General Where Report Card Ranking Methods Fail

    Gee, I always thought that everyone's rankings were just based on how they played or how they feel things sorted out. I guess some think that being written down on the interwebs and on someone's site means more than just asking a friend if something is a cool power or not for how we play the...

    D&D General What articles would a good & free, fanmade D&D magazine have?

    To be good and free might mean different things to everyone. To call it a D&D magazine may also mean different things. When I hear a D&D magazine, I want things that help my game of D&D and not movie reviews or video game stuff- unless it is a way to help play D&D. We have seen Dragon...
