    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    I would turn this around slightly: when writing a parody, you ought to keep Poe's Law in mind. It may be ambiguous at first, but by the end, you should make darn sure people know you aren't actually advocating for eating babies. You're probably right that achieving understanding by 100% of the...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Monk"

    My notes from the video: Monk and the ranger are "largely new classes". Lv 1 Martial Arts: Monk weapons are Simple Melee Weapons and Martial Melee Weapons with the Light property. Unarmed strike can be used as a bonus action, no longer tied to Attack action. Unarmed strike can do damage...

    D&D (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    Gods, Demi-gods, and Heroes contains nothing of particular relevance to your theory. The gods therein are not assigned alignments, except sometimes by implication: a few are noted to e.g., favor lawful characters, or, in the case of Mictantecuhtli, "Any person that worships this God is...

    D&D General Gnome Paladins

    Even The Complete Paladin's Handbook didn't allow non-human paladins, but it did allow them to be "demipaladins" (LG fighter/clerics who meet the ability score requirements for paladin and follow all of the paladin ethos rules can go on quests to earn a subset of the paladin special abilities.)...

    D&D (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    As much as I agree with you about the wonkiness of the Great Wheel and the fact that some of the planes feel like they're just there to check boxes without being differentiated enough, I think having no structure at all would be far worse.

    You think the songs about her ex-boyfriends are something, wait until you hear the songs she writes about the DM who killed her character.

    How Many Spells Does a Wizard Need?

    I keep wanting to make a joke along the lines of Tolstoy's "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" But I can't think of the spell equivalent of "Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed."

    Civilizations, RANKED!

    You know that story about Gandhi in Civ I having minimum aggression that would underflow and make him super aggressive? It's almost certainly completely wrong. Have you checked out Freeciv? The default rules are something of a mix of Civ II and III, but you can set it to be pure Civ II rules...

    D&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    It's especially easy to confuse when the description of fireball seems to imply otherwise But I guess that's for the exception when you're using a figure ratio?

    D&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    The multiclass table didn't appear in the original, but in errata in Dragon magazine. If you have a later printing where the errata are incorporated, the added tables appear on p. 72.

    D&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    I was a little surprised by this, because I know the DMG (p. 38) has rules similar to Deities and Demigods, minus the parts about serving demigods and lesser gods. While verifying this, I noticed this obscure little rule hiding in the same section (emphasis added): Also, the distinction about...
