    Play Is Paramount: Discuss

    Seems like we had this conversation about what is playing the game. There was discussion about a DM making worlds and background and maps, but never using that stuff and only he enjoyed it. Is that play? What about the rules makes the game? Are they hard and fast or can people make them up...

    Wizards of the Coast hiring TRPG Publishing Lead to coordinate third-party publishing

    I wonder if they give each company a setting to make adventures in and keep the brand and core rules? My company makes Forgotten Realms and yours makes Dragonlance kind of thing. They are in the middle with the core frame and get paid on both ends.

    D&D General If you needed random collectible Dragonlance-themed dice, today's your lucky day!

    Some of these do look rather cool if I was big in collecting dice. Not sure on the 'Gotta Collect Them All' angle or the "creating a sense of discovery in every unboxing" for $25.00 each. I tried to see how much larger they are, but could not find something specific.

    He played the bad guy in Person of Interest that worked for the bad AI machine. He played it perfectly.

    RPG Evolution: Accessible for all

    I did not look long enough to see if the official one lets you swap out dice like the other one, but in the 30-40$ price range it would make a good gift for my father who still throws the dice into the tray and at least once per night, they bounce out. Although I feel that the warming the dice...

    D&D General I’m Trying to Love D&D Again—and I’ve Got Some Complaints. Young Grognard posting.

    I have never played online, but this seems to make me think it is like the rest of the online places (except mostly this one) where people are more ok or self-centered or free to say and do things since in real life they would get told to go away. I think there should be moments of everyone's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Getting ready to use the Portable Hole + Bag of holding trick

    Its a well known truth passed down among the people ever since Bartleby the Black accidently was the first to think he could get around the laws of the gods. Too much Intelligence and not enough Wisdom. Parents warn their children if they are doing something to "Don't be like Bartleby". Even...

    Friday Fun: Let's Share Weird NPC Ideas

    The PCs just traveled to the feywild and met the NPC owlin soldier, Sir Hoots-a-Lot. They did not really take to him. He just returned with his sidekick spriggin names Thumper, so we will see. The other campaign found all the pieces to an animated sword that can become a henchman if they...

    D&D 3.x Title fonts for 3e books?

    There is this thread from 2009 asking the same thing. There is a link there but not the specific example you want. There is some more clicks and Googles to do, but start here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Additional spell resources?

    Don't forget upcasting spells. Mass cures come in handy Also A5e has options. Mostly how to change things up and not so many new spells.

    For any RPG actual play fans—I made an IMDb for actual play shows

    Anyone wondering, since I had to look it up. I heard of it before and thought it was something for movies, but did not know how to think about it in reference to a roleplaying game. IMDB- Internet Movie Database.

    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.
