This is a good sized miniature, about 6 inches tall with a 10 inch wingspan. I'll post some more photos later, but the main parts of the miniature are easy enough to assemble. It's just some fiddly little bits that are difficult because it's not clear where they're supposed to attach to on the...

So this is the Phoenix from Dungeons & Lasers. Well, these are the wings at least. I’m still working on it. So two things. I've been using an airbrush since 2020, but I still feel as though I'm learning. They say your airbrush paint should be the consistency of skim milk, but apparently I...

I continue to listen to the podcast and it occurred to me that we're missing Kevin Siembieda's flare for dramatics. Imagine if the dude who came up with the "Crisis of Treachery" could have named what was going on at TSR in 1984-1985. That would have been pure gold. I keep saying this in...

Fun fact: Most Amish communities only allow their members to play the original 1974 Dungeons & Dragons.

Given how uncertain the future is, I don't know if anyone would be interested in moving within the next few years. We don't know what the situation is going to be in two weeks let alone in 2029.

Ah, I see. "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules." -- Hector Barbossa (17th century lawyer) I personally find it rather confusing. Is a goblin a humanoid or a fey? It depends on what day of the week it is and whether the goblin was born when the moon was waxing or...

I'm working on a similar scenario for Death in Space. I fully admit to being inspired by Pandorum.

Sometimes I catch an episode and can't believe the network censors let them get away with dressing some of the women that way. Nichelle Nichol's outfit in "Mirror, Mirror" shows off her belly button. The Star Trek costumers really knew what they were doing.

I'm guessing most players in their 20s aren't in campaigns run by people in their 40s. All I have is anecdotal data of course, but I'm pushing 50 and I don't spend a whole lot of time with anyone in their 20s. The only time I game with people that much younger than me is when I volunteer to...

You're right, they don't really need to pay attention to the over 40 crowd. Oh, wow! I just noticed a little light blinking on the back of my hand. Does anyone know what that means?

D&D has a long history of using known words in odd ways. Where else is a kobold a lizard/dragon or dog man other than D&D?

I don't think all our RPG maps belong to Judge's Guild, but I think perhaps all our base belongs to them.

This is what makes it especially difficult to plan. We don't really know what's going to happen next week let alone six months from now. When I read the OP I immediately thought of all those books published in the 1990s I'm convinced were designed to be read rather than played.

It was in the module and an old school one at that. I just didn't want to give the name away lest I spoil it for others. It's a surprisingly enjoyable classic. I'll see if I can make better use of CR at our next session.

Maybe I've been looking at it wrong. I thought a CR5 creature would be a moderate challenge for four level 5 player characters.

Violence against humanoids might be a problem, but if we simply reclassify the goblin into a different creature type than killing them isn't problematic. WotC is attempting to have their cake and eat it too.

I haven't used every monster in the book, but today my 5th level party encountered a Vampire Spawn (CR 5). The fight took place in a room with permanent Darkness cast on it, so the vampire had Advantage on all attacks and the players Disadvantage. Once more, the party was handicapped because...
