    D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    Sorry to hear about your fighter. That first one's always a little rough.

    D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    I was 29 in January 1984, so almost exactly 37 years ago. If math still works the same way now, that makes me 66. Only 600 years to go, and I'll have you all worried! That day sticks out in my head, as in the morning my family held the funeral for my paternal grandmother, who made it to age 97...

    Disney Plus could be rebooting Firefly

    The film ended certain story lines and relationships, and events in the real world ended others. Rest in Peace, Ron Glass. From "Barney Miller" to "Serenity" and everything between and after those, you always raised my appreciation for the entertainment you contributed to. As with old...

    D&D 5E WotC's Nathan Stewart Teases New D&D Setting Book in 2019

    You seem to miss the popularity of The Handmaid's Tale.

    D&D 5E WotC's Nathan Stewart Teases New D&D Setting Book in 2019

    The spelling on the last one is Al Qadim, and I was going to put in my 2-cents in the hope that it might be on WotC's "soon-to-be" worklist. But it probably won't - lol.

    It's that time of year again! Nominate Your Most Anticipated Games of 2019

    Put me in for Fria Ligan's Things From The Flood. Oddly, that's the only RPG I'm looking forward to in 2019, at least at this time. The one thing that's got me dang-near salivating is the board game for Hellboy, but that, of course, doesn't qualify for this survey.

    It's that time of year again! Nominate Your Most Anticipated Games of 2019

    EonTrinity, you had me going there with the WOIN: Babylon 5 - so, who needs reality when you have an imagination like that? :lol:

    I keep looking for the "Like" link!

    Pathfinder 2E So I Played Pathfinder 2nd Edition! Plus UKGE Back To #3!

    :heh: I was just re-reading an Iron Druid short story by Kevin Hearne. Now I've got Oberon, Pathfinder goblins, and hot dogs/sausages all mixed up. The fact the the dog slicer pictured is labeled "Dog Dicer" doesn't help, wrapping right back around into the RPG. Strange ironies ...

    D&D 5E Character Backstories: Care to share?

    Nevvur. Delightful! It immediately called to mind Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, and that wizard's dealings with the Fey. Your take on the world of faerie is great entertainment. I love Nav's background, and the tale your DM and your group is weaving.

    D&D 5E Character Backstories: Care to share?

    Caliban. Wow ... Jack Frostbrand. That ain't a background. It's a Masterpiece.

    D&D 5E Character Backstories: Care to share?

    My general inclination is to avoid nasty archetypes like the Oath of Conquest Paladin (I don't want to feed my inner Master of the Universe ambitions) but occasionally just have to take such a perspective out for a test drive. Broc Abrams: Your Jenova concept is well-realized, and certainly...

    Anyone else get their Trudvang chronicles? Mine arrived today.

    I got mine the same day. I'm among the fortunate; a gouge on the shipping package barely scratched the slip case. Still learning how to wrap my brain around the character creation rules.

    Priceless. My first, best laugh of the day!

    The never ending story of ...

    Oh, yeah! I had to give up on trying to choose between the "Give XP ... " link and the "Laugh with this ... " link. You aren't making this easy. I'm just reading through for now to catch up.

    The never ending story of ...

    *Uh ... this tale is being constructed as a cautionary tale for would-be DMs, right? It's certainly got an ambient "Required Reading" vibe going.

    D&D 5E Will Xanathar's Guide to Everything hit #1 on Amazon?

    Okay. We can do that. But first I've got to get my copy. And slake my thirst. This slavering anticipation, my face pressed to the window of a local brick-&-mortar book store, involves a lot more drooling than I expected.

    D&D 5E Creating new spells

    @Mohammed Al-hashimi: I like the spell. One minor edit: as a general rule, spells that can become permanent by repeated casting specify the amount of time the repetition must continue, usually for 1 year. In addition, for the permanent well, I would suggest that the benefit of the restored...
