    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I think Pathfinder did a very good job with the drow : they made them very frightful (sadistic and demon worshippers). No sane player would lile to play one but they make very good antagonists. However, the concept of good elves turning drow when they are angry is pretty lame...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I'm afraid D&D stopped being cool a long time ago (around 86)

    D&D (2024) Amnesia Sequence Yea/Nay?

    As a player, I don't mind the Dm's tricks as long as the story is eventually great (and will be remembered).

    Bad Faith and Sealioning

    To understand sealioning, watch the (good) movie heretic (with Hugh Grant). It appears to be a good rendation of the theme

    [Gothic Horror] Jack the Ripper Adventures?

    Take a look at the From Hell comic book by alan moore and Eddie campbell for a great understanding of the story / context.

    Did the nerds win?

    In Art & Arcana (featuring the history of D&D), they finish the book saying "geeks have inherited the earth" (because D&d and RPG in general) went from a nerd hobby to a mass hobby

    D&D General What is your most prized Dungeons and Dragons Product?

    For me it's clearly the French version of the Draconomicon 3.5. Very few exemplaries were edited . A few weeks after its release 3.5 tranlations in french stopped. I got it for 80€ (and was lucky...)

    I've just finished to re-read The Count of Monte christo : a cold revenge against the wicked but no salvation for the hero... (a nest of ideas fo campaigns involving intrigues)

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    I agree with you but I fear that I am more cruel as a dm. I put often my players at risk (for more fun in success or grieve in defeat...)
