I'll be 54 this year, been playing since the summer I turned 12. I hear you all on needing readers (been using them since 41 - after a year of squinting and having to have my wife read menus to me in dark restaurants). I never developed the patience to read long things on a screen. I will if I...

I remember being really confused as an 11-year old trying to figure out why a thief might be called a "footpad." :ROFLMAO:

In my previous homebrew setting “drow” was not a sub race of elf, it was the name for an elf (or elven community) who dedicated themselves to the spider goddess and turned evil. Thus a drow could look like any elf, they just had a template that gave them the powers associated with drow (and when...

This is a long thread, so forgive me if this has been shared before:

I knew a kid who pronounced it “puh-swade-oh” dragon.

The reference to the urban conditions in the 1970s makes me want to remake this iconic and infamous headline into "Mordenkainen to Greyhawk: DROP DEAD" :ROFLMAO: Edit to add: Now that's what I call "Muscular Neutrality" ;)

I love these ideas and look forward to their development, but I will say I can't help but snicker at the term "hopepunk" (and have ever since I first heard it a few years go) because when I think "punk" I think of it as an F.U. to the establishment from a sense of there being "NO FUTURE" (so...

Put one of the gems they are hunting in the Princess's crown and have the mercs (or another rival party) be after that one next, with her trip to the neighboring kingdom being the opportunity for it to be grabbed, requiring the party to try to intercept. If you need the party to have more info...

Yes, definitely. Though I will say I have long played with what I’ll call “non-mechanical traditions,” both in D&D games I’ve run for friends and ones friends have run, that while magic can accomplish some things technically well they can fall short of mortal expectations/desires. So for...

It me!

It's been a minute since I posted anything new because I am deep in the portion of this project that requires a spreadsheet of 350+ spells I am using to keep track of what should be on which spell lists and which spell I am tweaking, totally re-writing, or straight up getting rid of.

Yes. And that’s a great downtime activity. Clandestine political meetings or having to fight off an assassination attempt in your skivvies! Players in my games often talk about getting laundry done or taking baths when stopping at an inn or roadhouse.

Since literally my favorite part of the Lord of the Rings films is how dirty they are (esp. the dirt under their fingernails), I imagine most people who aren’t nobles living a soft life as dirty and careworn. Even if their clothes started as flamboyant and colorful all it takes is a few minutes...

I am realizing now that they are not in fact D&D branded socks but generic rip-offs that I never looked at too closely because they were a gift and cool enough.

one pair has "D&D" in the logo font and mimics and the other has D20s and fireballs or something? I'd have to fetch them out of my drawer to really remember.

whoa! these are different from the D&D socks I got for Xmas a couple of years ago and bust out for special occasions!
