    D&D 5E Who would want to see rule books annotated with developer quotes on the system's mechanics?

    ...I am not really interested in what a particular member of the development team was thinking about a rule at a particular moment during its development. The final rule from the entire team is more than enough for me. ...I think the annotations would be extra clutter for the most part. They...

    D&D 5E Lurking players

    ...I think that most of the posters here both DM and play, depending on what's going on in their real lives. It just seems disproportionate because, IME, DM's ask for more advice building adventures than most players do when building their characters. ...I haven't seen anything from the site...

    Campaign world idea... Flipped coin

    Maybe use something that grows in the dark, like mushrooms, as the basis for the ecosystem. Also don't forget plant life growing in the oceans producing oxygen. Geothermal vents and lava flows could also come into play.

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    I wonder if the "we are socially progressive because we employ many women" discussion is supposed to distract us from the recent "we just laid off another bunch of quality employees" thread.

    D&D 5E How do you handle PC nobles?

    As a DM, handling a PC noble depends on how the person is playing that character. Is the pc advertising his heritage or trying to hide it? As others have pointed out, there are benefits and drawbacks to both.

    D&D 5E Beast Cards For Druids

    Looks, helpful. The only thing that I'd recommend is maybe formatting them so that you could print them out and put them on 3"x5" cards.

    In my campaigns, there is a central trade guild that has branches in most of the major cities. Adventurers can purchase a safety deposit box in the trade guild's vault in a specific city. They can also convert their wealth into trade bars of various metals minted by the guild. Finally, they...

    D&D 5E Evil character in the party

    I allow neutral, but not evil pcs in my campaigns. IME, people who enjoy running anti-social, greedy and selfish characters tend to not play well with others.

    D&D 5E Wizards Should Hire Paizo

    ...First, let me state that I am not commenting on the quality of any edition or upon print vs. digital format. I am also not commenting on the quality of any business decision made by either company. ...I doubt that Paizo would be willing to work for Wizards again. They did a good job...
