    D&D General Lorraine Williams: Is it Time for a Reevaluation?

    Yes, that thought occurred to me as well. If they had, the D&D universe might look considerably different today. But at the time, Williams-era TSR did not see the potential. EN World itself would have surely received a C&D letter if it existed back in the 1990s. Can you imagine how the...

    D&D General Lorraine Williams: Is it Time for a Reevaluation?

    The overprotectiveness of TSR's intellectual property may not have been new, but L. Williams tenure at TSR coincided with the rise of the World Wide Web in the 1990s. It was an exciting time and people wanted to make websites for their D&D games. From what I have read including in threads on...

    Critical Role Critical Role's new set

    Congratulations to Marisha Ray for masterminding this set. It will be fun to see what the CR crew can do with (the resources for) higher production values.

    D&D General Suggestions for Rooms in an Adventurers Guild HQ

    A vault, possibly secured with arcane lock. Guildmaster's office(s) I might consider dividing the sleeping area into barracks for general guild members and a small number of private rooms for high ranking people. Or maybe those who pay guild dues at a higher level, lol.

    D&D General Who should play Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in a D&D biopic movie?

    A movie needs a good antagonist. Who would play Lorraine Williams in this movie? I think Ann Dowd, who was terrific as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid's Tale and as Patti in The Leftovers would be excellent in this part.

    D&D 5E (2014) Max HP?

    The first thing which jumps to mind is that blaster-focused casters would be weakened considerably. Eldritch blast-focused warlocks might be the exception since their blasting is an unlimited resource. But this change would turn them into even more of an eldritch blast turret. I would imagine...

    D&D 5E (2014) SO CLOSE!

    Congratulations on the successful kickstarter! :)

    What is the most complex TTRPG of all time?

    I played GURPS 4th edition in 2009 and found it complex and confusing. After playing a character in the system for one full year I still did not understand it. :unsure:

    D&D 5E (2014) (Poll) I play 5e, and there are X players at the table.

    I am in two 5E campaigns. Both are completely online on Roll20. The first group has four players. The second group has five players. I am not sure how to vote.

    D&D General How many of your 5E D&D books have you used?

    Player's Handbook Dungeon Master's Guide Monster Manual Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide Volo's Guide to Monsters Xanathar's Guide to Everything Eberron Rising from the Last War Tasha's Cauldron of Everything Eberron ... Last War has minimal use. SCAG was regularly used in the early days of 5E...

    D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

    As a caster fetish player, you have given me an idea for a future caster PC. BWHAHAHAHAHA :devilish:

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your least favorite class in 5E?

    Was there? If so it was done by someone else. edit -- I found that thread. Maybe I won't do one then. Although that thread was not a poll so it might be interesting to have numbers.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your least favorite class in 5E?

    I may do a poll on favorite classes in 5E after this thread has run its course.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your least favorite class in 5E?

    What is your least favorite class in 5E? I realize this poll topic has the potential to start a massive flame war, but I was genuinely curious about how people feel. Especially as people's opinions on this topic have lurked around several other threads -- sometimes in amusing fashion. Feel...

    D&D General Do you prefer more or less Skills?

    I like 15-20 skills. So 5E is in a good comfort zone for me.

    D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

    Seeing THAC0 the clown felt like when I was reading Entertainment Weekly and the writer described the Captain Marvel movie as "a period piece set in the 1990s." Or when I told a younger person the Spice Girls were terrible and she said, "Who are the Spice Girls?"

    D&D General What is your favorite Class?

    If you substitute Lathander for Kelemvor, these are my favorite deities in Forgotten Realms as well. Clerics have always been high on my list of favorite classes.

    D&D General What is your favorite Class?

    I have a (full) caster fetish. 2E - Cleric. I was obsessed with the Forgotten Realms Faiths & Avatars book by Julia Martin and wanted to play so many of the specialty priests. My specialty priest of Akadi blathered on about how superior she was because she flew -- only lesser beings were...
