    D&D General DMs: Do you buy and/or run official adventures?

    I've bought quite a few official adventures across the editions and variants. When I've DMed them, they're almost always heavily modified. I've very often "stolen bits", though such "bits" could range from a single encounter to 90% of the whole adventure.

    Pale Blue Dot, Revisited

    One of the best scriptures of all time, for all of us. It moves me deeply in ways joyful and sad, every time I read it. Thanks for posting it, it's nice reminder.

    D&D 5E (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    I voted 2 for "not very" (assuming 1 means "not at all"). I'm vaguely curious but I don't play much 5e anyway, so it's not too relevant at this point. I'll probably get the core books eventually, but not until a year or more after they release. Tbh, it kindasorta depends on how the nephews'...

    Total eclipse 2024 plans?

    I woke up 5 AM eclipse morning in DFW and saw the unfavorable local forecast, so I hopped in the car and drove to central Arkansas. Glad I did, too, because it was absolutely gorgeous in the hills there among the pines. Bonus points: My family back in DFW (who were stuck at work/school that day)...

    No opinion, but the Board should include "Best Zargon Cosplay" as a key part of their evaluation.

    D&D 5E (2014) Polymorph vs. Petrified

    RAW is that a petrified creature is "transformed... into a solid inanimate substance".

Personally, I think RAW is pretty close to commonsense on this one. No...
