I kind of understand the appeal of listening to an RPG play out for the story, I suppose, but that's heavily dependent on the quality of the editing and the RPers. But for me in general, RPG streams typically are just way too long, both as episodes and as campaigns. That said, watching a few...

Yes, one is a vegan if they eat a vegepygmy. But they're likely a carnivore if they eat a vegetarian*. * In all fairness, that may depend on the vegetarian's CR.

Fwiw, I noticed the other day that all those threads are already categorized together, on the upper toolbar under Features -> D&D History.

That's more or less how I always viewed them, as well. Personally, I don't think that "alignment tongues" really went away. They just got renamed to things like Celestial, Infernal, or Primordial. There's not a perfect mapping between those and alignment, of course, but it fits the "this is the...

What's a newspaper?

I can't find ENWorld's database, either, but here is a homebrew 5e conversion of the 3.5e monster manual that contains both krenshar and lillend. Not sure of its accuracy, but it may be a helpful.

He's also the guy who wrote Pixel Dungeon, a popular roguelite game app which has forked off many variants. He has a pretty high profile in the community of procedurally generated game-related content. (edit: Oh, and he makes most of his source code available!) I find his pseudo-Tarot card...

Sounds like Molly, Robert, and Shawn should have just asked for a raise in their allowance instead of launching a fraudulent Kickstarter "compain". Kids these days!

A little submarine crewed by jackal-headed gnomes.

Another crude way to look at this: Individually, those members of the party in the OP are each roughly equivalent to CR 1/4 NPCs, plus or minus. It's not surprising or overpowered that sleep would take out a few fractional CR foes, so why should it be surprising or overpowered to take down a...

The odds of that Wizard rolling 29hp or better is under 13% (I think). It doesn't look especially likely that the wizard could drop the entire party described in the OP. Would a high-Int serial killer wizard risk those odds? No, sleep doesn't appear to be particularly overpowered.

Fighter (think) choked to death on spores in the dungeon in the old Red Box. I still live with the wound. To this day I refuse to believe that something called "yellow mold" can nonchalantly masquerade as gold tableware. That was dumb when I was 10, and it's still dumb today. :mad: The first...

I love this simplified sheet, nice work! One comment: What about a place to track recovery Hit Dice? That changes from rest to rest, and from session to session. Since dying typically resolves in a few rounds and doesn't really need to be tracked long term, perhaps replace those Death Save...

Public voting for the Monarch of the Monsters contest has gone live.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up, Simon. Very informative!

Great article, and some fascinating discussion. Thanks for posting this one!

Fantasy movies that I recall as D&D-inspirational but weren't on the list: - Princess Bride - Willow - Dark Crystal - Never Ending Story - Clash of the Titans Oh, and E.T., because I found the D&D references fascinating as a kid. Disappointing was The Dungeonmaster. I was hard to...
