    D&D 5E Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    As long as I'm still older than a thread's original posting, I figure I'm good to go. Of course, since I've entered my second childhood, some second parenting may be required.

    D&D 5E Array v 4d6: Punishment? Or overlooked data

    Never heard the comment "The plural of anecdote is not data" before, but I will probably find myself referring to it in the future. Uh ... maybe that wasn't your intent ... lol

    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    I like the inherent eccentricity of gnomes, and their lightly magical nature. Where halflings are generally of a congenial disposition, but discounted as serious threats, gnomes make some people nervous. That can lead to some enjoyable role playing.

    D&D 5E Mythological Figures: Comte de Saint Germain

    Comte de Saint Germain came to me by way of the novels of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. She used his legend to create the character of a vampire who's been around since his mortal days in the ancient Egyptian priesthood. Her tales were not written in historical order, but each book is set in a time of...

    Homebrew Alchemy Crafting?

    I went in on a KS from Nord Games LLC awhile back for a comprehensive 5E book on alchemy, "The Ultimate Guide to Alchemy, Crafting, & Enchanting." It was published in 2020. The book runs to 242 pages. To give you an idea of what it covers, here are the chapter headings: Chapter 1: The...

    D&D 5E Why wimpy SLING damage and range?
