I just messaged my DM and let him know that I was leaving. He was very understanding, and we have left things to where I can re-enter at any time if some things changed. So that all went good. I just messaged the other players to let them know. I haven't heard anything back yet. I wanted to...

10pm is the end time, but sometimes the game goes long. Plus time to go home and a little wind-down time in the evening. Then I have to get up around 5:15am. It's not exactly 7 hours, and I'm not as young as I used to be. Still good looking, though. ;) Okay, so he's been back into it for a...

The bad part is, I really like this character. That’s what is making me feel indecisive.

I am playing in a Tuesday night Spelljammer game, and I am debating on leaving. When we started playing, I was unemployed. The DM, who is an old college friend of mine, was going through a divorce and I agreed to join the game to help him get his DM'ing shoes under him again. His then-wife...

I'm curious to know if you use the official character sheet, a third party sheet, D&D Beyond's online sheet (with PDF download?), or your own custom sheet? Also, how much detail do you put on them? The full text of your abilities? The name of the ability and the source page number? Something else?

I want to see the shardmind return, but maybe with some different art. I wasn't a huge fan of the 4e art for them. Maybe with some subraces. They have such great lore. The vanara! They were a race of monkey people inspired by Chinese lore. Plus, they're cute!

Ginny Di addressed this very topic. Her video got me to thinking about creating characters without tragic backstories. To me, tragic backstories are fine, but they have become cliche'. So I'm challenging myself these days to come up with characters that aren't tragic. I've had some great...

Now that the new Forgotten Realms books are out, I'm wondering if they cover everything from the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide. Is that book still a keeper, or has everything from it been redone?

I had no idea the name had real-world origins. I always thought it was an X-Men thing. At least now I know why Stranger Things never had any copyright issues with the name. Speaking of Marvel Comics and the X-Men, here is their Hellfire Club.

The DM is being a stickler on the attunement rules too. sigh

I have a bit of a conundrum with my Spelljammer character's magic items. I'm playing an aberrant mind sorcerer/great old one warlock.We're using the 2014 rules. He has a custom-made telepathic helmet, an amulet of health that was a gift from a friend, a staff of frost, and a cloak of elvenkind...
