    D&D 5E Rime of the Frostmaiden Previews Include a Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning

    Kids these days would just use a scroll of grognard summoning.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    It still perplexes me (though, tbh, it doesn't surprise me) that, this many months into the pandemic, the US still doesn't have a top-level clearinghouse of travel information on states' restrictions, dates, form requirements, etc. It would be helpful if some federal agency was tracking and...

    Yeah. Or hand off the trailer to a local driver.

    D&D 5E Rime of the Frostmaiden Previews Include a Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning

    I adore that ring of warmth. It's absolutely perfect! Brain-in-a-jar-on-a-suit-of-armor and scroll of summon tarasque, though, is kind of harshing my vision/hopes for this adventure. Hmmm....

    D&D 5E Scary/Creepy encounters

    Just for reference, here's a long-lived ENWorld thread from 2005-2010 that's got a lot of interesting creepy suggestions in general: https://www.enworld.org/threads/creepy.130133/

    D&D 5E Do you make your familiars into NPCs/sidekicks?

    Indeed. I'd think that a temporary familiar that changes every time would better be called an "unfamiliar."

    D&D General Creatures Obscure & Underused

    That phaerimm picture on the Netheril cover reminded me of the fihyr in the 3e MM2, a creature that coalesces from peoples' collected nightmares (called feyr in 2e). I haven't seen them used, but apparently they appeared in some of the D&D computer games. The 3e rendition always made me want to...

    D&D 5E Pocket Edition D&D Books?

    Just for reference, here are a couple pics showing the relative sizes of the smaller format Pathfinder books, and the tiny format 1e rulebooks. (I've got a set of those tiny core rules for 1e, and can confirm the print -- while crisp -- is borderline microscopic.)

    D&D General Why can Giant Eagles, Giant Elk, and Giant Owls speak?

    Well, to be fair to the snakes, if you take a big snake and give it wings, you've got a couatl. And blow it up even bigger and give it some epic halitosis, then you've basically got a dragon. So snakes have that going for them. ;)
