    Dragonlance Dragonlance Brings New Options to D&D

    I disagree: best to put an intro paragraph that states "this world is different" (a la the Theros sourcebook) and describe in what ways. Some people will be turned off. Some will be intrigued and want in. Some will want to be the characters who bring about significant changes. We should...

    Jamison Stone & Satine Phoenix's Apotheosis Studio To Wind Down [UPDATED]

    Kickstarter does not have to invent the wheel from scratch. How does eBay check the folks who offer items for auction? And how does eBay compile their ratings score for sellers? What record-keeping do banks prepare for business loans? KS can adapt those processes to its unique function(s)...

    The Weather

    No pic because driving at the time. Heading westbound coming home from trip, saw clouds building up on the horizon ahead of me. Getting closer, there was a V-shaped formation with mixed clouds-and-sun off to the left, same off to the right ... And a big dark nasty-looking thunderhead at the...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Brings New Options to D&D

    Maybe ... Background: Medic Trained in Medicine and using a Healer's Kit Ability to get max HP out of a die roll to recover HP. And some neat ability involving alchemy potions (emulate a limited list of low-level heal and THP spells) or re-stocking his kit while in the wild.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Brings New Options to D&D

    if only IRL would mint 1 GP and 1 EP in various currency. We could replace $1, $5, and $10 bills (for instance) with real metal money. P.S. When trying to buy a can of soda from a vending machine, silver half-dollars are cool.

    Batgirl movie cancelled

    I think somebody at Discovery looked at the total Warner package they bought, realized "Have you ever been so far in debt in your life?!?" , and are trying to shut off every possible dribble of money going out. Among other things, WBD cancelled their agreement to show new Sesame Street...

    D&D 5E FrostFire / FireFrost spell - homebrew - thoughts?

    The 3e supplement Frostburn has some special cold-based spells. I like idea (2) but would tie it into an amulet or similar rather than a cast-able spell.

    D&D (2024) D&D 5.5e, will you get it?

    My PHB's binding is breaking. By 2024 I will likely need a replacement that can stand up to regular use.

    D&D 5E Have you ever seen these weapons used regularly by PC's in a D&D 5e game?

    Sickle 1: character was a Folk Hero and came from a farming background. When danger threatened, just picked up the nearest farm implement and answered the call. Sickle 2: cleric of a homebrew god, who was partially designed with "not like all the other gods" in mind - including an off-beat...

    When thinning down the collection, what to keep and why?

    If you have a magazine because of one article but don't care about the rest of the material, copy out that article and add a sheet of identifying information. Put the new papers in a binder. Sell the magazine. I have a binder-full of D&D 3e stuff copied that I did not identify the original...

    D&D 5E Is it just me or are Harengons really (maybe a little too) good?

    Alternative Racial Ability: Rubberize Metal (I know that picture's origin.)

    D&D 5E Is it just me or are Harengons really (maybe a little too) good?

    My current campaign the Harengon goes early in initiative and moves fast and is an archer Ranger with allergies to melee. As DM I'm going to have to avoid "you are in an open field" and create interesting terrain to bog her down / steer her movement.

    D&D 5E "Doom Sun" − reconstructing a 5e Dark Sun setting for the DMs Guild

    Most notable difference between 3e Bane and 4e Bane: he shed the portfolio of Strife ergo he could make a plan, stick to it, and expect his followers to cooperate with each other to implement it. 3e Bane spent so much time supervising (micromanaging) his followers and raising up favorites among...

    D&D 5E "Make a Strength (History) roll."

    STR(History): opening a book that has been sitting on a frozen shelf - polar / tundra outside - for a few generations. You have to be careful of the brittle pages but you also have to break the hardened glue in the binding.

    D&D 5E "I would play in a 5e game with no caster classes at all" (a poll)

    I could totally see a Dark Sun mini-campaign dedicated to executing recently-commissioned Defilers. But in other settings, as you level up "no magic" becomes a handicap and eventually prohibitive.

    D&D General Reskinning for fun and profit

    I reskinned all the zombies in one dungeon as mummies, to better give a "sealed away for very long time" atmosphere. I also took off the signature zombie ability, so as not to break the ambiance.

    D&D 5E "Doom Sun" − reconstructing a 5e Dark Sun setting for the DMs Guild

    The core rulebooks have to appeal to the broadest possible audience. You are describing a potential niche. That belongs is some other publication - such as a setting book. I just picked up Ravnica at the library. On a fast pass, you might find that treatment of gods (or god-less-ness) similar...

    D&D 5E "Doom Sun" − reconstructing a 5e Dark Sun setting for the DMs Guild

    You don't have to understand other players, you just have to recognize that what you desire for your table / DMspace is one of many desirable options. You are describing yours and they are describing theirs. Third-party readers can pick and choose whatever sounds good to them, or craft their...

    D&D 5E "Doom Sun" − reconstructing a 5e Dark Sun setting for the DMs Guild

    There were no gods involved in the origin of Athas, and there are no gods there now. But that does not prevent an 'interloper event' where some god(s) found Athas and tried to move in. It / they would end up gone with little evidence of their presence. The event would end with their...
