    D&D 5E (2024) Is There A New Sheriff in Town?

    Yeap. Not really, and a pretty insulting take at that. I think making a "Pepsi" in the RPG space is pretty big. Im not saying bigger than D&D, but its notable.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Interesting, I found Philip Anglim to be a good actor in this case. His sort of calm and patient presence reminds me of many religious figures ive met and exchanged with.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is There A New Sheriff in Town?

    Lol, most D&D players have no idea who works for WOTC, what their contributions are, what their loss would mean, what their movement to some other company says, etc… Now folks on EN world…

    The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

    So, you might be asking what’s the big deal about a dog sitting? Well Jax has a bad hip and he either stands or lays down for the last two years. Started hip injections monthly. Not sure if they are helping or the ribs just smell that damn good…

    Which summer movies are you looking forward most to?

    28 years and Naked Gun seems like a fantastic drive in double feature.

    D&D General Rangers should be built on a primary and secondary stat

    I’d rather this concept be stretched to all classes as MAD instead of SAD.
