    RPG Evolution: The Game Comes Home

    I'm not sure how my mother put up with all of us playing each week in the home. Part must have been having my father as one of the players, but also might have been to have us kids off the 'streets'. Great article. Does the library allow food and drinks?

    Weather Matrices for Real Locations [Simulationism]

    I could see something that references a real world place to make it easier. One could take Seattle weather and make it match to Waterdeep for example.

    Weather Matrices for Real Locations [Simulationism]

    Similar to what @Milieu said, just add a % in the chart to use the next month or previous month to get something more extreme. Although I do like just having 4 seasons with 3 months per chart instead of 12. I'm a big advocate of simpler over complicated. One chart per kingdom is better than...

    Changing heads of development is like the Goodies movie. New guy now writing the story.

    Level Up (A5E) Welcome to Level Up (Setting Development)

    If you are trying to convert people from Forgotten Realms (FR), then maybe use baby steps and start with something only a little different. The last thread was a lot of cool ideas and trying to cram them all together might not work. Not sure if this is the reason the other thread kind of...

    AI Models Tested on D&D to Assess Long-term Decision Making

    Make some AI art and a video and it might be something to watch. Just keep it under 5 minutes.

    D&D General Mtg colors for class/subclass

    @yourfinallyawake welcome to the site. Not sure one can add colors to D&D classes because of alignment and anyone can be anything and there is always an example of someone seeing things different. I feel that clerics are white because they heal. Fighters are red because they deal big damage...

    If we all won, does it also mean we all lost.

    What's the hardest attribute to effectively role-play?

    I find part of the game is having the whole table of players present all the time. I cannot recall the last time I pulled a player out to explain something secret. It is hard to play a low stat in INT, WIS, or CHA if you as a person is better or at least average in those stats. The same is if...

    Level Up (A5E) Broken armor and maintanance

    I'm guessing it is a DM call on what 'broken' means. There is stuff that needs repair and stuff that needs to be remade. If the RAW says you need a forge, then you need a forge. A sub-system of determining if something is broken to the point of being remade vs something that can be...
