    D&D General Favorite Forgotten Realms products of all time?

    Why do I feel like Mike's next big campaign is going to take place in the Forgotten Realms?

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    If you plan to use the 3e campaign setting book in a 5th edition game, is it worth getting the new books for the crunch?

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

    I'm thinking of getting the Heroes book for updated rules, but using 3.5 books for all the lore. The 3e stuff is just better and offers more breadth and depth.

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    ...for RPGs. You answered your own question. "Golden Age" doesn't refer to the experience of an individual but to society or culture as a whole. There are now more players, more ways of playing, more access to RPG tools, more RPG variety, and even more acceptance as a hobby. I could literally...

    D&D 5E (2024) Check Out The All-New Relaunched EN5ider Magazine For D&D!

    To clarify, to get the print edition, it would be $20 for the issue, plus the cost of printing, plus shipping? Does anyone know what the printing cost is in the US?

    D&D General Teased Lorwyn-Shadowmoor Supplement Crosses Magic: the Gathering and D&D

    When Ravnica came out, I rolled my eyes because I thought it was an obvious cash grab and I had no interest in Magic the Gathering. But it turned out to be a cool sourcebook. Theros also turned out cool. Strixhaven suffers from the era of them trying to combine setting, adventure, and bestiary...

    Mainstream News Discovers D&D's Species Terminology Change

    Don’t like the new changes? Don’t use them. You can easy house rule that species=race and assign ability boosts to specific races rather than backgrounds. Don’t want Latin American cultural influences for orcs, don’t use them. If you look for things to be outraged about, you’ll find them. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Player's Handbook 2024 Table of Contents

    I will go out on a limb and agree (to some extent) with Maxperson. While I think you can play a cleric without the name of a god, I think a list of gods would have been far more useful for players than a description of the multiverse. Most campaigns won't visit the outer planes, but they will...

    D&D 5E (2024) Player's Handbook 2024 Table of Contents

    Interesting order. I will have to get used to the new layout. I guess I appreciate the main rules at the beginning. Should be easier to look up than rules in the middle of the book. And no "Appendix N" type list of inspirational reading. Am I the only one who likes lists of books?

    Looking for Fantasy Atlas

    As someone who likes to homebrew but who doesn’t make maps, I would love a collection of connected maps all belonging to the same world. Maps that include a world or at least a continental map, regional maps, maps of towns and cities, and adventuring locations. I don’t want a detailed setting...

    “Once I have drunk the blood of all the town’s virgins, I will destroy all accessibility ramps to my lair. Mwahahaha!”
