    D&D General Who was your first character, and do you still play them?

    Quasar an elf I rolled up using B/X rules in 1983, only to arrive at the table on actual game day to learn there was this thing called AD&D and "elf" was not a class and they didn't allow multiclassing. So I played Quasar as a fighter for one session. I don't think I played another PC (only...

    D&D General Renamed Thread: "The Illusion of Agency"

    I don't announce DCs, I prefer to simply describe it as "You think it is easy/medium/hard. ." whatever it would seem to be (and probably is, but not always) and then the actual DC can be within a range of that number without them knowing for sure, and that way they can roll and decide if they...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Note to self: Remember to stay off ENWorld when you're in a bad mood and opening any thread feels like this And my immediate impulse is to just post this and leave: I think I'll see you all next year. . . Hope your holidays are uneventful.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'd love for ENWorld to have a feature where you can start a new thread that is auto-locked (no one can comment - not even you!) and it gets bumped from likes. Oh wait. That's just a blog. :sneaky:

    D&D General Why Were the Dragon and Dungeon Magazines Discontinued?

    I don’t think I have given out a standard by the book magic item (save a potion or two) since sometime in the late 90s. That said, as much as I loved Dragon mag back in the day, I know I would not be the audience for it anymore because it was Dragon that helped me to learn how to homebrew to...

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    The main thing I don’t like about D&D is the same thing I love about it: the people who play it. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Oh and the people who don’t play it but somehow love to complain about it.

    Aging and Gaming

    Yeah, I'm the opposite. The older I get the more I expect everyone to focus and I am blessed with two groups who do so (we got one guy who can inadvertently rattle on when he gets going, so I try to jump on early we can chit chat before hand). Luckily, I see everyone in my in-person game...

    Aging and Gaming

    I'll be 54 this year, been playing since the summer I turned 12. I hear you all on needing readers (been using them since 41 - after a year of squinting and having to have my wife read menus to me in dark restaurants). I never developed the patience to read long things on a screen. I will if I...

    I remember being really confused as an 11-year old trying to figure out why a thief might be called a "footpad." :ROFLMAO:

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    In my previous homebrew setting “drow” was not a sub race of elf, it was the name for an elf (or elven community) who dedicated themselves to the spider goddess and turned evil. Thus a drow could look like any elf, they just had a template that gave them the powers associated with drow (and when...

    D&D General Drow as in Cow or Drow as in Snow: Where did the Dark Elves Come From?

    The reference to the urban conditions in the 1970s makes me want to remake this iconic and infamous headline into "Mordenkainen to Greyhawk: DROP DEAD" :ROFLMAO: Edit to add: Now that's what I call "Muscular Neutrality" ;)
