    D&D General Is D&D Beyond Exclusivity Bad for D&D?

    I'm definitely against the changing of books to take out lore and such. If they were just correcting things like stats because they'd messed up a calculation somewhere, not a problem, but to edit out sections for no real reason, not a fan. I don't think I'll be buying anything on DnDBeyond...

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    I would like to see some simpler mechanics, maybe take out rolling to activate powers and definitely removing the whole contact situation. I think you need 3 hits or something to bust into someone's mind.

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    I think I don't care. Like, I don't need the complete handbooks but they can bring in some good options I'm not going to complain if they are or aren't used in a campaign. Even if you do decide to use them, it doesn't mean everything in them has to be used, like the core 3 books have optional...

    Wizards of the Coast launches official Dungeons & Dragons Actual Play show

    I loved the community episodes for DnD, basically any show which does a DnD episode I generally enjoy because I understand the references. Kind of curious to see how well this show does, there are quite a few actual plays out there, how many are people going to watch?

    D&D General Is D&D Beyond Exclusivity Bad for D&D?

    When I had DnDB, it was great, I had a bunch of books that I could share with my friends when we played. In general, I think DnDB is an excellent tool. The only real issue I have with it, and it probably isn't really an issue, is that with it becoming so common place, I feel like 3rd party...

    AI/LLMs How are you using AI in your gaming?

    My group have used it to create images of our characters and background where the DM can show us an image of a gnome and their store, things like that. I think my DM mentioned that he had chatGPT do up some short speech's or writings for his setting. I've played around with it to create...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I've backed the mutants and masterminds 4e kickstarter and I'm dreading the cost of shipping to get the books down to here in NZ. I was estimating around 80nzd but with everything happening now that number might be a bit higher. They're waiting until the last minute to get the shipping costs.

    D&D General DDB/WOTC Price Increases

    I think the physical at table cohort is slowly dying out anyway (that is the physical character sheets/pen and paper players). They either stick to older editions or are transitioning to DDB for at the table play creating a hybrid system where character sheets and books are all online and dice...

    Homebrew How many points does a natural attack with 1d6 bludgeoning damage cost for level penalty?

    Which edition are you creating it for and what are you using to create it? I see you also have a post for how a limited wisdom might affect level, might be worth posting the whole race in this thread and let people know which edition it is. Someone might have a link to a point buy system which...

    What are you reading in 2026?

    I've gone back and read The Wizards and the Warriors by Hugh Cook, a book I remember reading years ago. I quite enjoyed it but, perhaps a little unfortunately, it has a point which feels like an ending and I kind of lost momentum after that. Still 16 chapters to go, I'll see about finishing it...

    I loved there ending, it set up a second season so I'm glad it's happening.

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    I keep reading it as Rob Schneider is the product lead which I feel is an odd choice.

    D&D General From Another Edition

    One thing I pulled into 5e was things triggering when someone is bloodied, technically already in 5e, high level champions regenerated when bloodied, I think life cleric's domain abilities could heal up people who were bloodied and restore them to no more than half health. I also brought in...

    AD&D 2E Al-Qadim campaign setting

    Oh nice, that must have been a great moment winning that, I think every auction I've seen quickly gets outside my price range.
