    D&D General Why are so many D&D articles *garbage*?

    I see what is praised by journalists as "high-quality work" and draw conclusions from that.

    D&D General Why are so many D&D articles *garbage*?

    Journalism schools tend to promote the 'journal' (old-fashioned equivalent: diary) part, not the idea 'go out and find the facts'. That can change, but it will take time and steady pressure from the rest of us. If you find a journalist whose work is reliably full of facts and written to...

    D&D General Why are so many D&D articles *garbage*?

    So, if only 15% of my posts are good content then I'm beating the legal limit ?

    D&D 5E (2014) Thread topic most likely to be first to reach 10+ pages of argument

    The "ableist" thread made it for a week of sound and fury, then started to drop down the first page, unlocked. P.S. to all: Let sleeping dogs lie.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thread topic most likely to be first to reach 10+ pages of argument

    Early-era D&D products which feature always-Evil _______ who are obviously stand-ins for some group of IRL people. Does that cover everything?

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Using the Ignore button allows them to figure out you are capital-I Ignoring them. Whereas if you lowercase-i ignore them, they will never know.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    The really stupid headline will come next week: Cornell Students Finish Semester, Go Home For Holidays Including any students who were exposed but not sick. Instead of getting them tested before allowing them to depart. Keep the infected on campus and cure them. Then they can go home for...

    Justin LaNasa shares his opinion of EN World

    You can copyright / trademark a 'fake person' (ex: character in a comic) but not a real person. Hmmm... you might be able to make him show up someplace - in Court - and ask him some questions after all.

    Into the Mother Lands: A Sci-fi RPG by PoC Designers

    I have a sinking feeling that the organizers raced too fast to be "First!" and did not get themselves fully ready to produce their game. Of course "watching the sausage be made" is always a letdown, so I won't draw any conclusions. I hope they show me wrong, and that their game will turn out...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Good hopes sent to him. The 'asthmatic smoker' is the part to be worried about. His lungs already have a tough hill to climb, before catching anything else. Per the "Tested +itive" thread, zinc and vitamin D pills help your body fight against COVID. To look up the antibody infusion, you will...

    Before creating a British SNL, they should study the best (to emulate) and the worst (to avoid) of the original.

    D&D General Any Realms-Heads Know About The Politics of The Sword Coast?

    There are several generations' worth of time between the in-world "publishing dates" of City of Splendors and Dragon Heist. So WotC can mix-and-match.

    D&D General Any Realms-Heads Know About The Politics of The Sword Coast?

    I'd have to get City of Splendors from the Public Library to look, and it's been a while since last I did (so take this with a grain of salt): There are 70 noble houses in Waterdeep, most of which are not listed? The 5 you list are presented as the ones a PC could be approached offering quiet...
