    D&D General On Grognardism...

    As someone who first played 1E D&D in 1986, that is why I don't have any desire to return to earlier editions of D&D. I was obsessed with wizards when I first started and I remember casting my 1-2 spells and then being reduced to using a sling. :(:mad: I was not a fan of 4E but the innovation...

    D&D General On Grognardism...

    I never played the original Torg, but I played Torg Eternity for the first time in November 2020 and I love it! It is the finest attempt I've seen at a cross-genre RPG. I always wanted to play a superhero/anti-hero character but never got the chance because none of the groups I played with...

    New (Unofficial) Zakhara campaign guide available 04/13/2021

    That's awewsome. Genies are one of my favorite monsters and the sha'ir was my favorite thing in Zakhara.

    D&D 5E Are we at, or close, to peak D&D? Again?

    While D&D could get even more popular than its current boom, a slump will eventually come. As a mid-40s gamer I've seen both boom and slump periods for D&D before. I expect I will see at least one more slump and one more D&D renaissance in my lifetime.

    D&D General Survivor 5E - Tasha's Subclases - Druid Circle of the Stars outshines the rest!

    One character idea I had was to play a genie warlock named "Anthony" with a patron named "Jeannie" who bears a strong resemblance to Barbara Eden. Or was that Christina Aguilera? Jeremy Crawford said that when the UA genie warlock was released players were interested but the consensus was it...

    D&D 5E Redeeming Drow?

    Ah, I see. I wasn't sure which Maerimydra fall it was set after. In that case, I think it is already canon that Kossuth had gained a foothold in the city? Perhaps noble efreet are looking for warlocks instead of noble dao.

    D&D 5E Redeeming Drow?

    Power abhors a vacuum. If Lolth's power is broken, who moves in? Vhaeraun, already mentioned, is an obvious one. I wonder if even some of the evil non-drow gods might see this as an opportunity. Part of Shar's portfolio is the underdark and she already killed Ibrandul and masqueraded as him...

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    Well, as a real D&D player, the idea of very low-level characters defeating a beholder really stretches disbelief. Even though a general audience ignorant of D&D would not notice. Yeah, creative license for TV and all that. But I would be rolling my eyes and/or laughing. Also, given the...

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    If the show is really "starting small" it would be ridiculous to show a beholder in the first season. It would be like showing Daenerys' Season 8 dragons in Season 1. But a mind flayer as the big bad lurking in the shadows could be an effective antagonist for low-level PCs. Especially given...

    D&D Movie/TV Update on D&D TV Show -- Underdark, Small, 6-10 Episodes

    If it is going to be in Faerun, small and have a significant Underdark component, perhaps it will be set in the Dalelands? Many small towns to serve as home base. And Cormanthor is nearby where there are supposedly numerous entrances into the Underdark.

    D&D General WotC Has Owned D&D Longer Than TSR Did

    Lol, that reminds me of a story. My father called my younger brother "the flim-flam man" because he would find some Magic The Gathering sucker (usually an elementary school age player) and trade his common or uncommon cards for hard-to-find rares. This was in the early days of Magic when...
