    D&D General Dying Toril

    It's the aftermath of the Night War. Shar and Selune threw down hard enough to destroy each other, kill most of the other gods, and damn near destroy the world itself. But some say that they Shar and Selune aren't quite done yet. Some say that in the dark forgotten places the Shadows regathered...

    D&D 5E The -10 Myth: How a Poorly-Worded Gygaxian Rule Became the Modern Death Save

    In 2e, we had someone, a half-elf I think, who died. Reincarnated into a Wemic. DM let him continue playing as a Wemic. Was pretty funny.

    D&D 5E How would you improve Dragon+, WotC's Online Magazine?

    Some marketing for it might be helpful. For instance, this is the first that I've ever heard of the magazine.

    D&D 5E Too Few Player Options During Combat?

    The way I run, anyone can attempt things like the Battlemaster Maneuvers or special moves granted by feats (Charger). They typically roll at disadvantage if they lack the subclass or feat, nevertheless, anyone can attempt stuff like that. I use 4e style critical hits. Take maximum damage, and...

    D&D General What have you done with Orcs in your games?

    I run them like Klingons. I based one on Gowron (the short Klingon Chancellor with the buggy eyes). He was gloriously insane and all of my players loved him. Also, he kept hitting on the female minotaur PC in the party.

    D&D Movie/TV Hugh Grant To Play Villain in the D&D Movie

    Picked the wrong damn Hugh. They should have gotten Hugh Laurie. Dave Bautista as his trusted but dimwitted bodyguard.

    D&D 5E What's in a temple?

    A place where one can attempt to speak with dead relatives. Surely, this temple would get far more requests for this service than most temples.

    D&D General brainstorming on theme/rules for hexcrawl campaign

    The city was the last bastion against the forces of evil, and it was about to be crushed by an overwhelming army. But then, some god or archmage or something, saved the city at the last moment. The whole of the city was magically teleported to another world. Some of the enemy forces were too...

    How Does This Campaign Setting Sit With You?

    A fascist by any other name is still a censored Nazi. Watch the language, please.

    How Does This Campaign Setting Sit With You?

    I absolutely hate the premise. Now, if there was some way to slip the chain and disappear into the underground of this new city, I might go for it, if the party was willing. But unless we were doing something like that, or somehow going to be in short order helping to destroy the new jackass...

    D&D 5E Blind Characters in 5e

    They say the swamp witch comes with the fog. Fog Cloud + bat familiar. If you're a wizard, you don't even need to burn a feat on it.

    D&D 5E Blind Characters in 5e

    I just wrote up a blind character. Vhuman. 1st level, Fighter w/ Blind Fighting style (2nd Wind will be nice too). That gives him 10' Blindsight. With the 1st lvl feat, I took Magic Initiate (Wizard) w/ Prestidigitation, Mold Earth (15 Int that won't be improved is irrelevant since no attack...

    D&D 5E What should I play? Don't know very many UA/HB builds.

    Straight classed Hobgoblin Abjuration Wizard. Tank for the party if you need to, with your ridiculous AC (made more so when you cast Shield) and high HP. Seriously, you'll have the AC of a Dex Fighter or Eldrich Knight, AND full spell caster progression. Counterspell, smack people with your...
