    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    It's been said already, but I don't find DMing to be HARD necessarily, but I do find it to be quite a bit of WORK. Granted, I develop my own adventures paths using a published campaign world (usually Midgard or Eberron) with significant changes, invent my own magic items, and often design new...

    D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

    Oh damn. No. Never mind. It would be an episode or three.

    D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

    Reflections of the Multiverse, the Eberron introductory adventure that I ran at GenCon oh so many years ago.

    Coming Soon: Rock & Roar! OSR Monsters inspired by classic rock song titles & band names.

    I'd hate the get bitten by one of David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs."

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Have what might be a silly question and need some advice. Last night our wizard was blinded during combat and was wondering if he could magic missile the foes anyway. We looked up several of the SD "attack" spells (acid arrow, magic missile, disintegrate) and they don't actually specify that you...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Just ran my 4th session of Shadowdark (a modification of Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur) and my players and I have enjoyed it more each time. Wanted to thank the contributors to this and other threads for the advice and encouragement. Next stop: carousing in the City of Masks!

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    That sounds like something an AI would say!

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Just want to second this recommendation. Playable gargoyles (and medusae and harpies for those that are interested). Also lots of good gargoyle lore that doesn't have to be setting-specific.

    Just backed it. I succumb to peer pressure easily.

    Unacceptable!! JK. Take you time. I will likely buy it soon anyway since I like having lots of material to draw from and I seem to believe that I am made of money.

    Please let us know what you think of it when you have absorbed some of it. It is on my wishlist but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    Per Kelsey: How often should thieves be able to sneak up and backstab a creature? Usually at least once per combat, and potentially more times if the thief invests the effort in hiding out of sight and sneaking around to an unaware creature. I don’t feel this should be given as readily as in a...

    This might be a silly question, but I do have a question about carousing. Several options on the carousing outcome table inflict a penalty of "__% of your total wealth." Now is that before or after the gold spent on carousing is subtracted? It might seem obvious that it is after since the...
