    D&D 5E Format to Create a Race

    Yes, thank you, I know what elder means. By your definition, I am one. I'm just disagreeing with the age you selected. ;)

    Dungeon Masters Guild Roundup: Random Loot

    I've bought about a dozen publications on DM's Guild and I've found for the vast majority of them, proofreading/editing is needed. Some products are virtually unreadable, at least for those of us who know the difference between your and you're.

    D&D 5E What character generation method does your group use?

    Weird...thought I'd already voted. Anyway, I voted other (homebrew). We roll 3d6 in a six by six grid, and the player can use any row, column or the diagonal but had to take the scores in order. Instead of having to roll 36 x 3d6, I worked up an excel doc and put in each cell the "randomness"...

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond - Xanathar's is Up!

    D&D 5E Compilation of Alternate Ability Score Generation Methods

    I read somewhere (here? another forum?) about rolling 3d6 in a six by six grid, and the player can use any row, column or the diagonal but had to take the scores in order. One of the complaints about it was it was time consuming to roll 36 x 3d6. I solved that by using excel and the...

    D&D General Welcome Thread

    Greetings all! New member here, and here's my first post. I played in the early '80s, instead of listening to the geometry teacher and loved every minute of it. Still have all my original books, and have been dragging them around the world (military life) for decades, adding 3.5 books to the...
