It's true that not all cucumbers are apeeling for picklers, but I truly relish the ones that are.

What's the big dill?

This is the day that CleverNickName finally realizes he's been AI all along.

To me, the risk of being caught isn't the reason to not steal something. Supporting human community is a bigger contributing factor. If I am trying to publish an RPG and I pay for art from artists, I'm supporting my community. If I publish an RPG and I use an AI program that uses an unpaid...

If you pay for an apple at the store or steal it, you wind up with an apple either way. Would you say there's no difference there? In my view the difference between paying for a piece of art and having a free AI program make the art is that in one case you are giving money to a human being who...

Monster Manual is my favorite. I like the composition and all the fun monsters to look at! Player's Handbook is number two. I enjoy the bright colors and the dragon designs. Dungeon Master's Guide is definitely number three. It's a little too gray, I have no emotional connection to the D&D...

This is my answer too. There were so many good ideas, it could be turned into a really fantastic tactical RPG.

I'm a Millennial in the older range (turning 38 this month), so thinking of this from my own experiences... In the Realm of the Millennials, the characters set out to find fortune or do good in a world on the brink of disaster. Generations of powerful wizards have drained the world of its...

Finally, a good place to type my very strong thoughts about orcs, halflings, and Moderation policies! (Kidding, kidding!)

This is a really funny concept. Especially for us D&D folk, the lone wolf character is always such a pervasive issue at the table. It cracked me up in the trailer when people would point out just how similar these two lone "wolfs" were. That said, Brad Pitt and George Clooney are getting old...

Retreater, I've read and participated in similar threads by you, and I wanted to share my own experiences over the last few years. Before the Pandemic, I was playing in a long 5e game that started off great, but soon got very very railroady. All my good friends were very dedicated to this game...

I miss the days when I was nostalgic about the past... Things were so much better then...

Edition Wars!

I've never played in a game in which planning a heist is actually fun. Conceptually it seems like it could be fun, but I find the gap between player knowledge and character knowledge makes planning difficult and rarely useful. Flashback mechanics, on the other hand, have always almost been...

DM: The guard asks you to identify all the stoplights in the photograph. Player: I make a Perception check... 13... DM: You missed one! The guard asks you to identify all the bicycles in the photograph.

Here's the problem as I see it. (Please remember that I fiddled around with a similar idea for a number of years.) In a standard 5e combat, each player gets a turn, and the DM gets one or more turns. This means everyone is sharing the spotlight somewhat evenly throughout the combat. Let's say...

From my experience attempting this kind of system, it's very challenging to keep track of multiple opponents! It also means you are frequently interrupting players' turns, which isn't always a fun experience.

My friend and I once tried to create a Continuous Initiative System for 3e. We used a cribbage set and created pegs for each combatant. Each action or set of movement had a cost- when you took your action (or moved), you then moved your peg down the cribbage set a number of holes equal to the...

I'm going to suggest something: Let them get the math wrong. My prediction would be that if you told the players that keeping track of (and printing out!) all their character sheets was too much, and had them do it, they might get some of the math wrong. But I also predict it wouldn't actually...

I'm not surprised! D&D has always been a great outlet for me creatively and socially. It helped me through the pandemic and during spates of depression.
