    D&D General What Do Tabaxi Look Like in Your Games? (A Poll)

    Type 5/6. Because in my (under construction) home game version of 5e Gamma World, Tabaxi are literally just mutant house cats with more dexterous forepaws.

    D&D General Race Has No Mechanics. What do you play?

    Yes, race/species being cosmetic only would be a major turn-off for me. However, if the DM was able to give me a decent enough reason why such is the case in their world, I would probably play something absolutely bonkers, like an anthropomorphized armadillo or hermit crab, or maybe a shardmind...

    D&D 5E (2024) More Dragon Redesign Clues

    RED DRAGON 1st place. Dude kinda looks like the love child of a grizzly bear and a saltwater crocodile (two animals I’ve always been impressed with) spray-painted red with black highlights. I like my dragons wingless and this guy? He looks physically strong enough he doesn’t even need wings...

    D&D 5E (2024) More Dragon Redesign Clues

    Yeah, for best results the primary color really should have been a more brown-green, instead of the red-orange. That’s really the only issue I have with it though.

    D&D 5E (2024) More Dragon Redesign Clues

    Red & Gold — classic designs for two classic monsters. The Red looks a bit on the burly side, so I’m imagining him as the gym bro of dragons. Black — get this guy in rehab. Nevertheless, a much better design than the multi-winged one, IMO. Green — looks like a snake and a platypus...

    Already have the PDF and am eagerly awaiting the DM’s version he’s currently working on.

    D&D General Map I made this week

    5e. Its the game system I like best. Depends on what nation the players want to start with, although I’ve already told them I won’t be starting them in either Hule or the Viper Tribe, because those two are the overt bad guy nations. Their PCs can originate from those nations as refugees if...

    D&D General Map I made this week

    Probably because I didn’t apply much pressure with the colored pencils, because there was a lot of paper to color in.

    D&D General Map I made this week

    I’m beginning prep to run a new Mystara campaign and decided to make a map of my home game interpretation of the setting: Took me the better part of three days and while there are numerous differences from canon, I’m very pleased with the overall result. The map itself is quite large in...

    D&D General 5.5 and making the game easier for players and harder for DMs

    In real life, if you scare my biological sister (accidentally or otherwise), the first thing she does is jump at you and try to attack you with anything she has in her hand at the time… while simultaneously screaming her lungs out in shock. The new surprise mechanic seems no different to me...

    D&D General Why Do You Prefer a Medieval Milieu For D&D? +

    Because in addition to my dad making sure I read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, my mother insisted I also read Beowulf, numerous versions of Arthurian folklore, the Song of Roland, and watch the classic Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty growing up. The ride of the Rohirrim, King Beowulf...

    D&D 5E (2024) How you going to roll... 5.24 into your game(s)?

    Based on the UA (since they haven’t released the official 2024 cleric yet), I’ll be updating the fighter and cleric classes in my home games to the 2024 version (minus the omnipresence of feats), but that’s about it. I dislike nearly every other decision they’re made for 5.2e

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook preview: "New Spells"

    You and I have had a near-totally opposite 5e experience as players then. I envy you. In my personal experience, most DMs go entire campaigns without giving their players any gold or magic items. NONE WHATSOEVER.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    That, or the artist was reading the Hollow World Boxed Set and fell in love with the idea of the Krugel Orcs. Mystara confirmed? I jest, I jest.

    D&D 5E (2024) Video previews for 2024 Players Handbook begin 6/18~

    Went to my local Renaissance Fair yesterday. They were advertising D&D 5e one-shots (starting at 2:00 pm) for the first time ever.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Playing right now. We’re in a war campaign fighting against orcs. So many orcs. It’s awesome. EDIT Light cleric just discovered Radiance of the Dawn. Player is all but drooling in excitement.

    D&D General What is your favorite "campaign paradigm"

    Adventurer’s guild. I prefer an episodic style of play, where each campaign is basically a string of one-shot sessions and I find the adventurer’s guild method works perfectly for this.

    D&D General My Journey with D&D

    Was introduced to tabletop roleplaying games about eleven years ago with Pathfinder 1e. Hated absolutely everything about the system, but since playing fantasy games was literally the only thing me and my dad had a common interest in at the time (and the group of players were fun to hang out...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do people think of the new dragon designs?

    Very oarfish in wing design. I love it. So, the Red and Silver dragons get the classic bat-wings, Blue is pteradactyl-ish, Green is maple leaf, Black is a sort of three-in-one affair, White is a hybrid design of bat and pterodactyl, Bronze is a sort of hybrid design of bat and leaf, and Gold...
