    D&D General Interview with Chris Cocks on D&D AI, the OGL, and more

    Saudi Public Investment Fund? That's a trip... Not to go all the way down the majority shareholder rabbit hole, but having BlackRock own 7 million shares of your company (Hasbro) is bad news. At least in my humble view. I know this stuff is rampant and also circular (e.g. Bank of America...

    D&D 5E (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

    Alack, I cannot edit existing questions in a poll, apologies! Your point is well taken.

    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    Same thing happens 10 times in a row, unless a player character intervenes.

    D&D 5E (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

    I'm curious about ENWorlders who are currently not interested in purchasing 2024 D&D, and your reasons for that. We previously had a poll with 172 respondents (as of today, 8-11-2024) which revealed that about half of the survey-responding ENWorlders plan to purchase 2024 D&D (48.2%), about...

    D&D General Making sure everyone can play D&D

    You all are great. This is 100% the way. I bequeathed core books to my local library, a bunch of old books to my friend's younger bro, and most of my 5e books to my nephew. Edit: And I still have the Rules Cyclopedia and Mines of Bloodstone that were bequeathed to me by my friend's older brother.

    D&D 5E (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    That's true. There's a difference between short-term/onboarding and long-term/longevity. For short-term/onboarding, I agree with you. Class+Species is enough to go on, and Background can be a charop thing (or dropped entirely). Honestly, if new PHB is intended to onboard folks like you say, I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Learning to Love the Background System

    Hey Kobold! I hope to hear more about the games you run in 2024! Always like reading your thoughts. Based on what I've seen so far of the new PHB, I think there are slight changes that are going to have a big long-term impact on how players engage with the game. I believe one impact will be...

    D&D 5E (2014) What non-D&D Specific TTRPG Books Do You Use With For Your 5E Campagn?

    I'm pretty much just running one 5e game now (Rime of the Frostmaiden, play-by-post), and am mostly phasing out of GMing 5e. For RotF, I have a bunch of my own resources I've created and then I've referenced the following non-D&D books... A mountain/alpine survival guide, can't recall name...

    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    No sooner has the magical bonfire sprung to life, than the weep-holes in the engraved likeness of dwarven face around the door's arch begin to glow bright white. A staccato sound echoes the corridor as four blurred streaks careen from the archway to strike the flagstones beneath the bonfire.

    OSR Is there an uptick of "fairy tale" style OSR products?

    Heh. If there's one word that lets you know you've entered OSR territory, it's psychedelic.

    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    GM POST Brydum offers a wry harumph to Jack's quip, "Secrets under the mountain, ye." All the same, as Lumrolur advances to the door, Brydum raises his shield so only his white brows peek above the rim. He casts a glance about as if a bit embarrassed about fearing the traps of one of the...

    D&D General Darkvision, Dim Light, and Disadvantage

    I think it’s a microscopic shift that will penalize ranged darkvision PCs and no darkvision PCs. Which is fine, if you like that. I’d be more interested in non-numerical differentiation, like defining what details CAN be noticed in bright light vs dim light vs other diminishing light levels...

    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    GM POST You're able to reposition to the double-door, using the same tactic – sending the ice toads ahead, launching fire magic to distract the magical bolts spewn from the trapped weep-holes. However, you have to be careful not to stay near the ice toads for too long – the aura they emit is...
