    D&D 5E CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Ingot from the Jade Furnace Weapon, rare (requires attunement) This item appears to be a tubular billet of steel with rounded edges and faint jade veining. When wielded with intent (as one might when drawing a sword), a jet of deep emerald-hued flame bursts forth from the end facing away from...

    D&D 5E CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Lantern of the Underdark Explorer Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This hooded lantern appears completely mundane. However, it requires no fuel and on a bonus action can produce continual light within itself equivalent to the Continual Flame spell. This light can be extinguished...

    As an architect and as a Canadian, I feel as though it is my duty now to get that book. :)

    D&D 5E CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    I love items that grant access to cantrips! A great way to provide a little bit of extra utility and fun to characters with a mostly lateral increase in power. Staff of the Serpent Kingdom Staff, weapon, rare (requires attunement) Beautifully made, this staff is carved and with intricate...

    D&D 5E CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    I read this as "let's make catnip magic items" which that piqued my interest... imagine my disappointment. ;) (I kid! No disappointment at all... and when I get home and can access it I ought to be able to share at least one that I made for my current campaign.)

    This pleases both the punster and the architect in me. :D

    D&D (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    Fair enough -- and a power point system might well fit better with most media when it comes to how wizards operate. However, from my D&D Vancian casting perspective and experience, with its discrete slots and fixed spells and the like, it doesn't tie into personal stamina so much as it ties...

    D&D (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    I haven't watched it recently, but what I remember from way back when was that the first season was very rough. Even worse in the pilot, where the main themes and nuances weren't fully worked out (and as such it was more caricatures than characters and characterization of the different...

    D&D (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    For me, I would boil it down to two biggies: 1 - A focus on abilities that are "traditionally associated" (recognizing that this is at least partially my experience/bias of what is traditionally associated) with psionics: Telekinetic effects, Telepathy/Mind Affecting Powers, Personal Body...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Nice! Have the "natural language description" models gotten to the point where they'd understand something like "with a bit of" or "with a touch of Iron Man" in order to nudge it slightly? Or is it still much of a world of "if you mention it, it's there in spades"?

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Interesting; the games we've played/run have used Approaches, so perhaps that is why we've seen a lot less repetition. Or, at least, when we do see repetition (if someone is trying to use their higher ranked Approach) it engenders creativity for how to get there. That said, we've also had a...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    That bit about Anime poses and overall scene composition is a good point! A bit of weighting/influence to have it engage in that aspect w/o going into the aesthetics/style could be really fruitful.

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Nice! This looks a lot less MJ than a lot of the MJ creations I'd seen before. The lightning is surprisingly coherent too.

    Tell Me About Cortex Prime

    Interesting! 1) and 2) has not come up for us in our games. 2) I think has been aided by use of Challenges and Contests and Tests and all the like, plus ensuring scene setup is different and diverse (and often including a Scene Distinction). 1) might be influenced by what prime sets are...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    It's clearly a AI picture of an AI driving a car! Another case of the AIs being all boastful and being like, "Oh we can do it all! We can paint, we can drive... and maybe we'll just let that dino eat your squishy little annoying selves so we can be rid of you and take over the world...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    If I may go a bit tangentially from the thread topic, I invite us all to step away from repeating this mantra. Because the purpose of a company is to produce a good or service that is of value to the community while earning those who provide that good or service a decent living. And I get why...

    Dragonbane Announces Two New Books

    Funnily enough, or maybe because my first RPG was a d100 based system (Top Secret), I totally am fine with roll low when using a percentile-based ruleset. 66% chance? Roll 66 or less? No problem! Anything else though -- d6, d20, whatever -- and the aversion bites me hard as well. Actually...
