    D&D General The Greyhawk Pantheon: How Greyhawk Approaches Deities (& Demigods)

    Because we don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no!

    D&D General It's Magic, You Know

    Do not throw stones on me, but I still think AEDU is a perfect frame for spells.

    D&D General "All will be well"

    I used this one lots last campaign: "Oh, no! Not again!" (One of the party members was a wild mage 2e-style of wild surges)

    Level Up (A5E) Monstrous Menagerie II: Hordes & Heroes

    So, after the N-headed shark series (yes, I watch those ones, blame on me), we have the N-headed dragon? :p

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My wife said Nickleback is overrated. Backstreet Boys all the way.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I am offended in both accounts. I play bards. And I list Coldplay. For real. :p

    AD&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    My memory can be playing tricks with me, but as long I remember, 4d6 drop lowest become the standard way with 3e. Before it was one suggestion and specifically said that would create "overpowered" characters. In the tables I gamed, we never used that before 3e. Usually it was the variant "3d6...

    The Hunt for Gollum

    The Enemy forces MUST sing the soviet navy chorus or it is not worth to watch :ROFLMAO:

    "The term 'GNS' is moronic and annoying" – well this should be an interesting interview

    Well, I took it for what it promised. Personal horror game. I must be a monster to do not become a monster. I am dangerous to every mortal I love, specially if I am hungry. Our group never brought the "superhero that cannot walk by day" that some people gamed. Even so, if those "night...

    "The term 'GNS' is moronic and annoying" – well this should be an interesting interview

    I just want to say that both AD&D 2e and Vampire are two of the games I had most fun playing.

    D&D General Which Gods/Pantheons do you use in your D&D setting?

    Main religion (at least in the slice of the world the PCs are in) believes in one absent god that created Reality (prime material and other planes) and then went away. In his absence, celestials argued about what to do. Centuries ago, eight of them came to the world, born as mortals, to teach...

    D&D General How involved are your gods?

    Many regional pantheons/religions (not every religion in the campaign setting is polytheistic or believe in a "personified" god). Each one preaches they are right and they really believe that, but as a matter of faith. There are not any "real" proof of gods, even if most people say the fact we...

    D&D General Dwarven adventures recommendations

    For an amazing dwarven fortress map, I would look to Moria for TOR. There is a good map also in the AD&D 2e adventure Axe of the Dwarvish Lords. These one is fun. A goblin tribe move to an abandoned dwarven fortress and find an artifact (the axe in the name of the adventure). The trouble...

    D&D General Stripping the Wizard to Bare Bones (+)

    I would say that lightning bolt is the "core line spell" even if for no other reason that the story of the game.

    Playing in the Blank Spaces of the System

    Mileage and taste vary. Lots. Using my own as example and my group as an extention, if a game presents something like "social combat resolution" is a big indicative of "we will not play or touch that".

    D&D General BG1&2 players, who were your constant companions?

    In BG1, I played a paladin, with: Imoen ("Heya, it's me, Imoen"), Jahira ("Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure?"), Khalid ("I can but try"), Minsc ("Go for the eyes, Boo. GO FOR THE EYES! RrraaaAAGHGHH!"), Branwen ("Tempus! Give us victory!") I almost did not deviate from this formation...

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    Brandon Sanderson is overrated. While I can understand his appeal to most people, for me magic will never be predictable as he likes to write. I concede that in D&D and like RPGs, magic must be reliable because there are players playing casters and need to trust their own abilities, but I do not...

    Who are the really interesting modern TTRPG designers?

    Jonathan Tweet and Robert Heinsoo can be considered "designers of old and bygone era", but they are still active with the new (if somewhat disappointing) version of 13th Age. Tweet in himself has as impressive curriculum, like you his games or not. Among other things, he developed Ars Magica...

    D&D General Bizuids and Clercerocks

    Why a warlock would sell his soul when he could learn it as a wizard? Because is faster and easier. I can spend years of my life to study Calculus, Physics, and other topics to be an engineer, and even that knowledge would be crude without another years practicing and learn how to adjust on the...
