    D&D General What are you running?

    5e Tomb of Annihilation (dropping for Call of Cthulhu, hopefully) and DCC (loving it). I'm leaving 5e (and its revised ed.) behind, something I should've done a long time ago.

    Goodman Games goes ORC!

    I'm glad they are. I've recently left behind a long-time prejudice for DCC and, after GMing 5 sessions, I can safely say I'm home. DCC has earned its place alongside Call of Cthulhu and OD&D as my go-to games. Edit: minor fixes

    D&D 5E (2014) Choose 3 to protect you (a poll)

    Two decades of D&D taught me to never go with PCs as bodyguards, no matter their level. Odds are you'll end up in a cheap tavern armwrestling a thri-kreen for the prize of tasting his carapace or chasing a squirrel into Mirkwood because that's supper for today (although everyone has a fortnight...

    D&D General XP Awards for -- what????

    "Milestone XP" is way better than "milestone leveling", IME. An actual number in the sheet lets the players know how far they've advanced and helps them evaluate the risk/reward of challenges. Also, it mitigates "when do we level up" kind of questions. Do your math, kiddo, you level up when you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which would you rather have?

    For real me? Ring of Haste. It's the 21st century, the age of many-things-at-once. Also, I'm not in the military, uniforms nor do I do fighting (pro or street), so Bless and Blur greatest effects would be rendered useless. If I put my dogs in the equation, though: Ring of Blur! They deserve...

    OSR How to make a Witcher for OSE

    You could treat Shield, Flame, Charm and Aard as skills, instead of spells, usable once per turn. The Witcher is never a full caster (or even half or third caster), but uses their few tricks often and get better in using them in time. Carcass Crawler #1, the 'zine from Necrotic Gnome...

    D&D 5E (2014) Vecna new art was a collaboration with Stranger Things!

    The Gauntlet is missing a spot. That makes the Sixth Stone their eye. Huh, not bad, not bad...

    D&D General Help a newer DM with homebrew world ! How do I complete the story !

    I second that. In one of my last games, I had no clue how the party would "win" against the BBEG. I didn't even stat him or anything until 10 sessions in. He was there, from the very first session, as a voice through a monolith that catapulted the party into a race against time, but the "how to...

    D&D General Your first D&D experiences?

    That, sir, is called busting a door with style. Things you learn at Barbarian School in class Busting Doors Advanced: How to Mix It with Beyoncé-inspired Moves.

    D&D General Your first D&D experiences?

    A quick look at the props and I calmly thought: "Cool, a flashdrive with 3e logo". Then the big "2000" hit me...

    What IP would you like to see as an RPG?

    Yeah, it's kind of weird we never got one. Final Fantasy RPG: that could challenge Avatar Legends for top 1 on Kickstarter.

    OSR Interested in dipping my toe into OSR but don’t know where to start. Any recommendations?

    OSE will have you worried about one and only one thing in your inventory: coins, be it silver or gold pieces. You pack a weapon or two, a piece of armor, and a backpack full of stuff and go adventuring. You note the weight (in coins) of those items with the backpack worth 80 no matter what you...
