    Do You Want 400 New Magic Items For Your D&D 5E Game?

    Haha, I think you misread me there. I just mean that the people in my group would inevitably find...certain uses for such an item. It actually sounds fantastic. And I can see where a bit if imagination would come in handy.

    Do You Want 400 New Magic Items For Your D&D 5E Game?

    I think if any of the characters in my group found the Amulet of Independent Anatomy, they would never go adventuring again.

    D&D 5E So why are you buying 5th edition?

    But electronics are quickly outmoded by more powerful devices and sequels are a different game entirely. I don't think D&D is really comparable to either of those. Books can last a lifetime. When I play D&D now it's pretty much the same as when I played in the 1980s. People may use a phone...

    D&D 5E So why are you buying 5th edition?

    The release of 5e will mark the third time in roughly ten years that the same company has tried to get me to buy the same books that cover the same material I've been familiar with since my 12th birthday in 1987. How many rulesets do I really need to pretend I'm an elf? I can afford the new...

The plot is that hordes of monsters under a mysterious general conquered the city of Phlan 50 years ago. They still linger today, but they're disorganized and merchants who...

    Ryan Dancey - D&D in a Death Spiral

    Mr. Dancey's speculation that Wizards could have spent $30-$50 million on their online initiatives is shocking to me. I know absolutely nothing about web development, but I always imagined the number would be much, much lower. If anyone here does know something about web development and has...

    Essentials and the future of D&D

    Yes, they will assume control. Even the priests at the Temple of Syrinx will be unable to stop them.

    D&D in Target?!?!

    I doubt it will, but I'm kind of hoping it does. It would result in more publicity than WotC could buy and I'd bet the end result would be more interest in the game, not less.

    Netbook: The Book of Forbidden Lore

    I've lurked on enworld for a couple of years but I never felt compelled to actually say anything until now. And what I have to say can be summed up in one capitalized, misspelled (for effect) word. SWEEEEET! Thank you for your efforts. They are not in vain, although my players may not...
