Perused a pdf of the book. This would be awesome to keep on the shelf. At a certain point, as a DM you transcend beyond just making sessions and trying to keep the rules straight/people happy. If you find yourself running a long campaign and want/need to create a world, this is for you. Adding.

Even though in today's day, there are books which are, in my opinion, excellent resources for a 5e DM. These are the ones I STILL look at from time to time. Not for rules that are obsolete. But for inspiration! I will add stuff as it is brought up after review 4e Draconomicon: Chromatic...

Geesh. I can see why Youtubers like Anita Sarkeesian and Thunderf00t are making bank of this stuff. 34 pages! Bottom line, any time you deal with the public, you can encounter socially maladjusted idiots and misanthropes. Yeah, it's fun to fantasize about "being right" and the evil...

DnD style campaigns have been run (with some tweaks) in the past with apocalyptic. sci fi/ historical flair.. They were not as popular due to the fanbase like high or low medieval based fantasy. Hard to get players. Also, other gaming systems have the brand recognition and seem to be the go-to...

I can see it now. "So, halfling, you want to join the city Rogue's Guild...." "Yep... I got level 6, trained in stealth. Hell, I am even the Thief archetype instead of Assassin which all the kids like and can break into a lot of things and use my tools and skills like a mage uses spells!" "Do...

You already occasionally do. The type of game is irrelevant. It is due to the open nature of FLGS and open table cons. If you know no one, have ticked off a group or two, or have moved to a new city this is the go-to place. It's great it exists. But, unlike a private session, open sessions you...

You would have to not allow DM intrusions. Vague spells like Suggestion would have to have a list of approve effects, but we do have a head start. The wording of suggestion makes it to where you can only suggest something that does not outright mess them over. No doffing plate in combat, taking...

This brings up a bigger issue that I have always wondered about with public play. How come no one runs arena battles with point buy DnD characters at Cons or FLGSs? I know, I know. The whole adventure on rails thing. But, I think even a game like capture the flag or skirmish with plate mail...

Yeah, I know..... But... do not... disrupt my delusions :D I would get serious evil pleasure if someone wanted to play the offspring of a greater power :D

Not just Dragon Lance. I can not quote the source, but I do remember reading somewhere that Tiamat kept dragonborn and half dragon servants in her divine domain at the gateway between the first and second layers of the Nine Hells. The PC could have traveled to Dis on an errand for the servant...

Precisely. There are a very large subgroup that is not talked about in the RenFair scene and RPG con scene that are into various flavors of polyamory, swinging, etc that have no issues with this. By "responsibility", I mean NOT putting yourself in situations where you may be abused or in legal...

Taking out the SJW stuff, if you run a convention most conventions and groups have rules dealing with being jerks. The convention or FLGS is there for folks to walk up into games. Some who may not get to game otherwise because of poor network or cruddy geographic location. And they are...

It's more then just the rarity of 14th level transmuters. How many campaigns last a hundred years in game time? It's rare enough to be considered an epic story for a campaign on forums to last to max level, much less a century pass. That would seem rarer than transmuters rolling 3d10s. Has...
