    This will be a very fun setting. I can tell because of the stock-photoesque smiles on their faces.

    D&D 5E (2014) Medieval D&D Character Sheets

    Oh please... with literacy among men at only around 10-15% and among women below 3%, it could be written in upside Aramaic and it would do your average serf just as much good.

    The Sorcerer Buggered Off Again. My Sibling Saturday campaign. My younger brother, a theatre grad, has been appearing in several student projects. And his shoots sometimes fall on Saturday nights. Sometimes, the rest of us shoot the breeze for 4 hours instead of play. Other times, he Gandalfs...

    D&D 5E (2014) So how much does a tattoo cost?

    Also, keep in mind the time cost. For example, each of my half sleeves took 4 separate 4-hour sessions. These are full color and highly detailed. Each one cost about $4000 as the artist charged $200 an hour, plus I added a tip. This was in a modern setting with modern equipment. In between each...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Non-Classic/Magic Settings Would You like to see WotC Publish?

    Both were Hanna Barbera, which made the most Hanna Barbaric cartoons in the 80s. So it's AT&T/WB/Cartoon Network. Personally, I would give my left arm for a "Pirates of Dark Water" setting. Well, not MY left arm. But somebody's left arm. And a right leg too, if necessary, because PoDW was the...

    D&D 5E (2014) PC Exceptionalism

    The PCs start in a village. Or a town. Or they're en route to a village or town. In this town, there are people. These people may be laborers or tradesfolk or even nobility. They have lives. But they don't have levels. They are, for all practical purposes, Level 0. The PCs are Level 1. Why...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I'm reminded of the old movie reviewer from the 80s and 90s who declared every movie he saw to be the best movie he had ever seen. They were invariably terrible movies (Uwe Boll, Paul WS Anderson, and similar drivel) but his declaration was able to be used as a pull-quote for the ads in the...

    Is killing a Goblin who begs for mercy evil?

    Real life example: My family is Jewish. My grandfather came to the US from Germany in 1938, fleeing the Nazis. December 1941 - hostilities break out and the US is drawn into WWII. My grandfather enlists. When Uncle Sam realized that he was a native German speaker, they realized that he'd be...

    D&D 5E (2024) bring back the pig faced orcs for 6th edition, change up hobgoblins & is there a history of the design change

    From the CLASSIC DS9 episode "Trials & Tribble-ations": The waitress points to the nearby table Bashir and O'Brien passed earlier. They turn and look with some surprise at the original series-style Klingons, who do not have the typical forehead ridges they're accustomed to seeing. Worf studies...

    D&D 5E (2024) bring back the pig faced orcs for 6th edition, change up hobgoblins & is there a history of the design change

    Orcs: the name has nothing to do with pigs. Hobgoblins: They are, in real-life lore, trickster house spirits. Not cannibals. I don't think that either are becoming "less interesting" but rather that you find the current iteration of orcs and hobgoblins to be less interesting than you found...
