    D&D General Souls and Spirits - are they necessary in order to exist?

    My answer is based on my homebrew world. It has lore about where souls go (so you could go to that land of the dead and find the person's soul). If the soul is carrying the personality into the land of the dead (or hanging around as a ghost), then that personality must not be in the brain any...

    Actually, it would be June 27th. That's International Pineapple Day, after all.

    D&D General Souls and Spirits - are they necessary in order to exist?

    No. Once the soul is gone, the body would be more like a zombie, although not undead. I don't have a mechanism for that in my world, but I could see having one for one of the future ages I have imagined.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forge of Fury TFTYP?

    I ran it in 5E. The one issue I had was that you can make peace with the duergar, but to get around the duergar to the dragon you have to find a secret door. If the PCs don't find the secret door, they'll have to murder hobo the duergar to get to the dragon.

    D&D General Using Tarot Cards in D&D

    Well, there's the Curse of Strahd method, where you do a reading for one of the characters at the beginning. The cards determine who the main ally is going to be, what item they need to have, who is Strahd's lieutenant or something like that. But you have to be careful. In CoS, there's some bad...

    Any chess players

    As another person who has made their own chess boards, here's a tip on making nice ones: buy vinyl from a fabric shop. You can get vinyl very similar to the vinyl used for tournament chess sets by the yard from fabric stores. Then get a nice long ruler and some permanent markers, and you have a...

    Any chess players

    I haven't played tournament chess in a long time. I have a game design on the back burner that uses chess as part of it, but chess with dice (you roll two dice and that determines what piece(s) you can move on your turn).

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you ever roll for monster HPs in 5E?

    I sort of do both. I wrote a python script for running 5E that takes care of initiative tracking. I originally did it because I didn't like Roll20's initiative tracking, but it's so useful that I use it when I play face-to-face as well. With that system I can do initiative two ways for...

    D&D General "I'd like to run (or play in) an all ___________ campaign." (+)

    You could loosen that up a little to barbarian/druid/ranger and have a nice little anit-civ campaign.

    Which team will win Super Bowl LVIII?

    Why? Because I rolled a d20 and go 12, so I picked the one that was higher up.

    D&D 5E (2024) What creatures should be relabeled as "beasts"?

    I house ruled the following creatures to be beasts: ankheg, carrion crawler, death dog, griffon, hippogriff, owlbear, roc, and sea lion. Basically, any monstrosity that can't speak and doesn't have any features that seem magical.

    How is that binary? Binary is only 0's and 1's, like 01001:111010 for 9:58.

    Because you can get your actual license plates from the dealer these days. That's how it was on my last two cars. At that point you have to put the effort in to take them off. It was never worth it for me. The only reason I don't have one now is that I moved to a different state and had to get...
