    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    See, that's why I have to crawl through to the end before replying, I guess.

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    Paff That's the sound of my hand hitting my forehead.

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    Why? Because it was dumb that's why. If I'm heading out to battle I am not wearing a tiny whisp of chainmail that barely covers the milk bar. It's dumb-looking and not cool for females wanting to be adventurers. The muscle-bound guy pictures came across as an awful lot of wishful compensation...

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    Huh. That's all fine but are you able to look at those posting in the forum alone, leaving aside lurkers? Get a look at the traffic through your site, I mean.

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    I think that may be right. My players are mostly in their early to mid-thirties, except myself and my older brother. None of us use virtual tabletops or join in with community-based gaming. My kids bought me the 5e starter set because they had fond memories of playing with me as children and...

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    A woman who is into tabletop might wonder if what is coming next is the information that girls can't manage the math. But, let's give the benefit of the doubt here.

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    I'm here chiefly to nose through the forums. At 56, I'm not exactly looking to drop more cash or attend conventions.

    D&D 5E Monster Traits?

    They are amorphous in shape and often are able to adhere to surfaces. Their outer surface are usually permiable and excrete some sort of slime. They have rudimentary senses, lacking lungs, mouths, ears and eyes. Thus they are immune to attacks that assault those senses. Most of them move and...

    D&D 5E Looking for setting inspirations

    Oriental Adventures is still a thing. The copy I have is 1e but I see there was an update to 3.5e and something might have been done for 5e.

    D&D General The Old "Boil an Ant Hill" Problem

    I have attempted to hand out bonuses to pop the group over the edge but, no, they want to scrabble for their XP at the table. The group is large and they share XP so every level takes time.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I think you would end up with an enormous black market.

    D&D 5E Unconscious PC's and smart monsters

    The higher level the NPC the more likely they are to leave out the back door in my book. Also, in groups of humans, more than half of them are unlikely to be invested in a fight unless forced.

    D&D 5E Aspurgers/autism effects?

    Are you asking how an Asperger's person manages to play D&D? Or do you want to play someone like yourself in-game?

    D&D General The Generic Deities of D&D

    Much, much better if they are sweetly reasonable and then kill you, all jolly with a knife.

    D&D 5E Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Boring?

    Then steer them into the more fun areas of the second level by means of a partial map (or set of directions written on the wall considering it's VTT) and take advantage of the stuff in the areas numbered 30 to 39. Try to get the revenant to join the party. Head down to third and let them go nuts...

    D&D 5E Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Boring?

    Is your party going somewhere in the dungeon or trying to clear each level as they go?

    D&D General The Generic Deities of D&D

    There are all sorts of accounts extant of members of polytheistic societies gadding about on religious pilgrimages, hitting all the shrine sites and festivals and just having a grand old time. Maybe there should be more of that sort of thing in D&D.

    D&D 5E With the release of each new setting book, the SCAG looks worse and worse...

    Well, it just came out of the steamer so the moist heat of the dough is evaporating my tears rapidly.
