    D&D General What Should Magic Be Able To Do, From a Gameplay Design Standpoint?

    In the context of PC spellcasters, I think that magic should be able to do anything. This is a fantasy game, and you should be able to let your imagination run wild. I'm just not very interested in magic that emulates other classes. I don't want to be a wizard that picks locks and disarms...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    It's a cold and rainy night and my insomnia is in full swing, so I decided to make myself a hot toddy. I was halfway through assembling it in my favorite mug when I noticed that we were out of honey. Undeterred, I substituted a few tablespoons of sweet mead for that spoonful of honey and let...

    Psionics--the Poll!

    I dunno man, this sounds an awful lot like "yes I want psionics, just not like that."

    Psionics--the Poll!

    I mean, they tried that. They really tried, for years. First they gave us a Psion core class (they called it a "Awakened Mystic") in an Unearthed Arcana article. And after getting feedback, they released a different version ("Mystic, Take Two") seven months later. Then they released a third...

    Psionics--the Poll!

    I suspect the results would be different if this poll was in the 5E D&D forum: Yes please...............Votes: 27....| No thank you.............Votes: 13....| Yes but not like that....Votes: 9534..██████████████████████████████████████████

    Psionics--the Poll!

    I know that the distinction between Psionics and Magic is very important to some people, but it's not for me. Even back in the late 1980s, I used the "same as magic" rule and never noticed a problem. In 5E, we've established that magic comes from absurd technology, extraplanar beings, the...

    Psionics--the Poll!

    Yep. And by the time I got off work and had enough free time to post in it, the thread was on its 4th page of comments and all of the things I was going to post had already been said. ☺️

    Psionics--the Poll!

    Nope, I posted it in TTRPG General for that very reason. I want to get a feel for overall interest throughout the entire gaming hobby, not just at the intersection of "psionics" and "D&D."

    Psionics--the Poll!

    When I'm sitting in the DM chair, I allow psionics in my games. Back in the days of 3.X Edition D&D, I allowed the psionic classes as they were written in the Complete Psionic supplement. Nowadays we play 5E D&D, I allow the psionic-themed material in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and the...

    Psionics--the Poll!

    Once again, the discussion on the ENWorld forums has returned to Psionics. There are a lot of cool ideas, interesting points of view, and personal experiences being shared in a couple of places, and I don't want to detract from that discussion...I just want to gauge folks' interest as a whole...

    D&D General What Is D&D Generally Bad At That You Wish It Was Better At?

    I mean...I played Skyrim a lot when it first came out, and I loved it. But the reason I still play it today, fourteen years later, is because it's easy to mod. So maybe both can be correct?
