    RPG Evolution: Owlbear and Gnoll Terrain

    I can see where it would be handy to have some of this. I like the clear acrylic piece between each floor of the castles. It seems that you can grab and go the floors you need to get to where the PCs are. I also like the grid extending past the walls to the air around it. There are always...

    D&D 5E (2024) A Different Way To Run High Level Monsters

    Does it make sense to reduce the HP threshold if the PCs fail to deal the 150hp in the first round. It seems that the overall damage is still being dealt and the monster would start to tire. Dropping it by 25-50 each round would still be hard and in a couple rounds a zone would still die once...

    GMing Mistakes You’ve Made in the Past

    First one that came to my mind was 25-30 years ago when I was DMing and thought it would be better and faster if I just rolled all the dice. All the dice. Another player and I got into a heated debate for an hour and he threatened to quit and said that I thought he was cheating and did not...

    City adventure ideas?

    @Moving Pictures welcome. Anything here is swipeable. I like how this thread was resurrected twice now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 3PP upgrade their books to 2024 versions?

    I see that everything will eventually go to the 5.5 rules and look. I'm working on a new part to the trilogy I'm running on DMsGuild and the newest I'm working on is updated. I have not thought about updating the older things I made over the last several years. I do not see myself doing that...

    D&D 3.x Formatting/Page Appearance Suggestions and Tips For Publishing

    I use 11 font Calibri in anything I put on DMsGuild. I'm finding 10pt is getting a little small for my eyes and think for many others as well. My other suggestion is to stick with black letters on white or a tan parchment background. I still recall the old Dragon magazine articles with black...

    D&D 5E (2024) (AI Generated) Advanced Creature Template

    I seem to be missing something from the thread. It seems like a lot to boost a creature. Are you trying to make an elite version to make a normal 'goblin' into more of a threat? There must be an easier way to make it the power of two creatures and get on with it. Maybe just make HP 150%...

    Researchers discover a new color (no, not that one)

    I seem to recall a comedian talking about men only knowing like 10 colors, and that is including black and white. I don't know what 'teal' is- it only looks blue/green. What is a 'fuchsia' anyways.

    D&D 5E (2014) What If Everyone Could Use Scrolls? (House rule)

    I like the idea, but why do they need to be holding it at the start of their turn? Anyone can draw a weapon as part of swinging, and it would make scrolls an option for non-casters in a situation where suddenly the players remembers that they have a scroll. There is already a penalty of making...

    D&D 5E (2024) A Different Way To Run High Level Monsters

    I almost went to that convention this weekend. Have fun. I like the idea of buckets of HP needing to be dealt with like a semi-game in the game. This might be cool for a high level game where tons of HP is a grind more than fun. I was thinking if having other things for some of the PCs to do...

    How Much Do You Care About Form Factor/Book Size?

    First, you should tell/show what a zine is? I tried to look it up and saw several things such a a half-sized book, a folded booklet like old modules, a tiny hand sized book, a scrapbook, a DIY Publisher calendar thing, etc... Maybe all of these things fall under what is being talked about...

    RPG Gear: Playing cards

    I was going to recommend the larger font cards vs the normal ones, until I saw these super-sized ones. I also see that you can customize the image on these ones, which may be handy.

    How Fantastical Do You Like Your Fantasy World?

    I do not like spaceships in my fantasy/D&D world. I'm not sure I would like Eberron with the elemental trains and 'magic' tech.

    RPG Evolution: The New Miniature Era

    They look nice and I might get some for my son for maybe a birthday or something. I do not paint and brought back some 4e pogs with a bloodied side that I just numbered. I wanted to look at Warlord Games like @MGibster suggested, but closed the site after pop-ups bothered me so I never got...

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    This is my thought as well. I seem to only need it on this site and the only times I talk about it with my group I used old/new 5e. I have searched for some stuff online and found I needed the 2024 bit.

    D&D General Deity stats

    Last I seen them are in the 2e book here. It is always a good reading. I do not think the actual stats are in them if I recall.
