[ “Well, HEY now… Wuddabout dat SECOND breakfast, don’chaknow?!” — my first 2034 Halfling PC, probably

The character creation rules will also tell you what real-world accent your PC speaks with. All Elves are laconic New Englanders. Dwarves are from Liverpool, Halflings from Minnesota…

Yeah. I mean… image that WOTC/Hasbro had an IP that featured a half-dozen characters, representing typical fantasy archetypes, and could create animated stories about their adventures. I bet they’d try to feature them in game products and little digital freebies, to raise their profile, in the...

I’d have the damage reduction scale more as the character levels up. CreamCloud above has it scaling with Proficiency Bonus, and that would work. My solution would be to have it scale at the same pace cantrip damage does. So: 1d10 at level 1, 2d10 at level 5, 3d10 at level 11, 4d10 at level 17.

[ My mother was a voice teacher before retiring (ie: she trained opera singers), and I’ve taken voice lessons at various times. So I can assure you that singers train and practice exactly the same way that instrumentalists do. How you apply that in your game is, of course, up to you.

As the title suggests, I’m curious how you keep tabs on your library of RPG rulebooks, adventures, supplements, splats, etc. After 5E brought me back to rpgs, I began collecting and re-collecting older games I had back in the 1980s—Champions, GURPS, WEG Star Wars, Traveller… Also, thanks to a...

As my 7-year Duolingo streak can attest, I am a big fan of languages—and that carries over into my D&D games as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve taken the Linguist feat on at least half of my characters, because sometimes it’s just fun to be the one guy in the party who just happens to speak...

Only seven people will actually read it. … which is still seven more than read the 2014 DMG.

Sadly, those of us who discovered D&D during the 80s boom years are distressingly close to demanding large-print editions of the rulebooks…

I was born at Strong Memorial, so… yes.

It wasn’t available at my city’s Barnes & Noble earlier today—but there was a special edition celebrating Pokemon (not my jam, I’m afraid). I meant to check at my grocery store, but forgot. Maybe I’ll have better luck next week

Split the group into two teams of four. The two teams enter the dungeon/maze from different directions, and have to make their way to the center to grab the Maguffin, then make it back out. First team out wins. Bonus Points: Regardless of what happens, the two teams reach the Maguffin...

I was looking for something else, and came across this product on DMs Guild, “Doomed Forgotten Realms” https://www.dmsguild.com/m/product/398215 According to the blurb, it’s a post-apocalyptic Sword Coast where the bad guys won in the 5E adventure campaigns, and everything went to pot. I...

Just to underscores this point a bit: I’ve been an (amateur) actor for durn near 30 years now. IME, it takes a group of actors about four weeks to prep a two-hour performance. Professionals, of course, would be more adept, and would have the luxury of working at it full-time, so would probably...

Since music, like all sound, is the result of vibration transmitted through air, the Bard’s power source is probably one of the more Planes of Air. Specifically, the Jefferson Air Plane. I’ll see myself out. Make sure to tip your waitstaff.

IIRC, someone on the D&D said about five years ago that half of all DMs homebrew their campaigns. I have no idea if that number would hold up today. But I believe WOTC periodically asks about published campaigns vs. homebrew when it puts out surveys, so they likely have a very rough estimate.
