A wizard did it.

This doesn't apply to the situation in your game, but here are a number of reasons a BBEG might delegate: 1) They are gathering power. They are not yet powerful enough to have the characters, and so send their allies and minions to fight while they grow in power. Maybe they once had power, or...

This quote from Josh Herman... ...makes me wish the Monster Manual would include Fronts (ala Dungeon World) for its big, powerful monsters. Something like: Stages of a Green Dragon Manipulating a Kingdom 1. Rumors spread of a mysterious wizard living in the forest who rewards favors for...

This seems like a really fun, semi-brainless movie.

Ha ha whoops, I guess that answers the question!

50 years, just like D&D! So the real question is... Is this 5.5 edition Morrus, 5.24 edition Morrus, 6th Edition Morrus, or Leveled Up Advanced Morrus?

Chainmail bikinis are totally unsafe! Can you imagine the chafing???

This sentence doesn't make sense to me. The image conveys to me that there are different planes with different features. Some have mountains and lakes, others have caves or weirder components. I'll admit if this image is used as the only map of these planes, then it is too minimalistic. But we...

It's fine because it's colorful and pleasing to the eye. When I first saw it my reaction was "Oh neat." I don't have any context of how it's being used, so I can't really judge it for not being a detailed map. If this is the only map they're using for the Planes then, yes, it's too barebones and...

So just to be clear, this is from a "blink and you'll miss it" screen grab from the video about barbarians, right? So we don't really know how it's being used, whether it's a tiny little icon, if there's a larger, more detailed map, etc etc etc. I'm reading a lot of hot takes based on very...

There are 5 differences hidden between these two pictures... Can you find them all?

Put Jack Black in the lead role and make it a rock musical!

I think that's a really fun idea! I could see Chromatic Dragon scales being used as currency either by "enemy" nations, or maybe a kind of magic black market? You can buy most things with gold / silver / copper coins, but magic weapons can only be bought with red dragon scales, wands and staves...

In my mind I called it "Revised 5e," since that matches my understanding of it pretty well. If I was deciding on a rule system with my group, I'd probably say something like "Let's use the revised fifth edition rules."

Yeah, that's my feeling as well. Although it would be fun to incorporate some Story Now elements into fights, maybe through moves that can reveal advantages (with the risk of adding complications).

Because Dungeon World already exists and it's fun to think of new ways to hack 5e.

Last year I played a lot of Ironsworn, and it made me fall in love with Story Now games. I did some solo Ironsworn games, then ran some for my friends. The experience of being a GM but not actually knowing where the story was going to go was thrilling! For fun, I'd like to brainstorm some ways...

This is a very appropriate post for a thread necromancy! (photo credit: M.Y. SITI-MUNIRAH, science news.com) Fairy Lantern Flowers are parasitic plants that spend decades underground, feeding off of the roots of other plants. They lack the ability to photosynthesize, but still require...

This next year I'm thinking of running a 5e D&D game online. For the first time, I'm planning on running a game for strangers instead of my friends. The reason for this is that my friends I used to play with (for 20 years) are now in different time zones and busy with their lives. My own life...
