    D&D 5E The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    I personally like the shout-out to Dragonlance, and agree that this is quite the hint that we will be going back to Krynn next year. I also wouldn't be surprised that we see all the dragon types people have been clamoring for here, as well as a 5e set of rules akin to the Council of Wyrms...

    D&D General Can we talk about best practices?

    If this was more of a "Best Practices at MY Table" this would be easy: 1. DO NOT TOUCH MY PAINTED MINIS IF YOU'VE BEEN EATING. 2. See Rule #1. 3. NO Metagaming. 4. No real world conversations that would start real world arguments. 5. See Rule #2. 6. Do not give advice on how to play to another...

    D&D General Can we talk about best practices?

    Yeah, it can be tough. I have things that I wouldn't allow at my table that others may find perfectly acceptable (though I don't understand why anyone would be okay with metagaming PCs or overpowered munchkins, but hey, do you boo). I suppose the only thing that can be one is preface your best...

    D&D General Which Aspect of DMing Do you Struggle Most With?

    For me it's the problem players and my patience for them. I've had too many hyper-munchkins, metagamers from hell, rules lawyers, and misogynistic grognards that don't listen when they're told to stop being so douche-y. OK, so maybe my real problem is vetting players.

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    I'm 45. I live in Wisconsin, so I have some home-state pride when it comes to TSR from back in the day. I still have warm memories of that TSR, and the AD&D games I loved through the 90s. Hell, I don't even think Lorraine Williams was the Satan that some here think! (I have read several articles...

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    This made me laugh more than it may have been intended; we're currently going through The Good Place on Netflix.

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    I say we hang it right on the homepage here as a trophy then. Some people have antlers on the wall, we have the TSR logo we swiped! :D

    D&D 5E The Mainstreaming of D&D

    I liked the 3e art style better when it was being used on stage during the Shout At The Devil era Mötley Crüe concerts. :D

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    Part of an apology is owning up to the mistake, which I don't feel Ernie did here. Especially with the video of the words coming out of his mouth out there....

    So Michael is actually Les Nessman?

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    I haven't thought of it that way. But if this ends on 04/01/2022 with Andy Kaufmann walking out of the DHSM wearing his wrestling belt it would almost be pure poetry.

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    This has gone from sad to funny to really funny to absolutely high-larry-us! :D

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    The Wonderfil(l)ed website is still up too with just Giantlands on it. So I'm guessing that's how the split will look.

    D&D 5E The Mainstreaming of D&D

    My apologies if I made it seem as though you did. It really is in the eye of the beholder (no not that one I can't stop those beams and my saves probably suck). As an aside, one of the things I like about much of the 1e, 2e, & 5e art is that it isn't uniform and they had several different styles...

    D&D 5E The Mainstreaming of D&D

    I would argue that not all the art changes have been good (not a fan of the early WotC years or those last 2 years under TSR's art coordination) but I do think the 5e (and quite a bit of the 4e) art has been great. Now, if they did a book in the style of progressive rock & metal cover artists...

    D&D 5E The Mainstreaming of D&D

    For the most part yes. But my iPod Classic is a 10-year-old workhorse. Which is good, because all my music wouldn't fit on my phone; the 250gb Classic may still be the only thing I can house all that on.

    D&D 5E The Mainstreaming of D&D

    Going off in left field here. I know that I have lamented for the vibe I got from the game in the past as well. But even using the rules we used then doesn't bring it back. Self-reflection made me come to the conclusion that it wasn't necessarily the vibe, exclusiveness, or gameplay of that time...

    TSR TSR3 Throws In Towel, Rebrands Wonderfilled

    Not cool, yo. Nintendo's lawyer is quite obviously Gannondorf. ;)

    TSR TSR3 Throws In Towel, Rebrands Wonderfilled

    I dunno, it almost sounds like the name of a company that produces specifically-targeted "adult" content behind a paywall. Maybe LaNasa decided to monetize his grits rasslin'?

    TSR TSR3 is no longer the original TSR

    And the moral of this story is: don't let your trademarks expire.
