    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    Every thing cannot be everything to everyone. The game, as much as it can become a point of identity in various ways to people, is still just a game. Courtesy goes both ways. New members to a community can be courteous by learning practices and tacit knowledge. Older members of a community...

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    I think this happened to me. I learned to play (2e and 3.0) in the Army, and became the DM when most of us (but not the DM) got transferred to Korea. I played sometimes then, but literally the only campaign I enjoyed was run by a sergeant of mine who was about as different a DM from me as you...

    "Possible under canon" does not truly include the image at the beginning of this thread, unless you are giving a lot of weight to marilith's shape changing abilities (which have varied across editions), and suggesting that the marilith is able to use those to take on the form of a generic...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    Despite your numerous posts to the contrary, there are different ways to describe things that come from the same entry in D&D. Some people will have dog headed kobolds and some people will have lizard/draconic ones. When you say 'demons don't have biology', that's not supported by...I don't...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    The marilith 2025 looks disappointingly low quality. I don't care for the change in art direction, but even with that in mind, it doesn't appear to be a good example of 'monstrous, non-female marilith'. It has all the characteristics of the least memorable pieces from the 4e MM. As for the...

    Ernie Gygax Has Passed Away

    I don't really follow gaming news or have too much leisure time for it these days; I found out about this when Troll Lord Games delayed a Kickstarter and I got the email. The landscape of the gaming industry has changed so much since CPL Petry taught me how to play in the Army. Ernie was my...

    I lost my account, can you help me find it?

    Yeah, I wouldn't think a moderator would be able to pull it off, it would have to be admin. How might I speak with @Morrus?

    I lost my account, can you help me find it?

    So I was once known as Kain Darkwind. From Dicefreaks. I happen to know Kain Darkwind's email address that he used literal decades ago when he was in the Army to sign up for this site...problem is, I no longer have that email address, and any one with the power to 'see' the email address of...
