    D&D General To multiclass or not to multiclass

    In 5e, I see multiclassing more as trying to gain an advantage and min/maxing over trying to get a concept you want. There are so many subclasses now that one should not have to think MCing is the way to get a cool concept.

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    I was just looking at the wight or specter and noticed that their life drain ability auto hits now and the PC just makes a saving throw to not have STR drain. I thought this was a good update. Not a fan of the NPC stats being open to all races and I need to update each when I need a orc scout...

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    The problem is that 90% of people do not know what a blood diamond is and only see the necklace as cheaper than the others, or worse the whole industry is pushing against it, or trying to tell you that there is no blood diamond.

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    I'm guessing we already have some stuff with AI in it. In 5 years will we be able to tell?

    D&D General Cities are theme parks!

    The ideas in the video sound like they could work and make things easier to work with when dealing with cities. I've always been hesitant to have the PCs go to cities since there are so many places things can go off the rails so to speak. A lot of things get made up on the fly and then need to...

    Worlds of Design: Here Be Monsters

    I sometimes have a dungeon room that has a balcony from another level open into it. The players will know that there is another level that way, but it also open the opportunity to climb up to it to use as a way to explore that direction. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the players just want...

    What Is A Superhero?

    Are you saying that a blood-soaked, white t-shirt is not a costume! ;)

    What Is A Superhero?

    In a loosely defined term for superhero, I would say yes. A bit like John McClane from Die Hard, who can certainly take an unimaginable beating and keep coming. Not like Superman who has powers kids pretend to have, but can never attain, like being able to fly.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should the environmental conditions scale by tier?

    It feels like these should be neutral to the level of the PCs, but on the other hand there are no more goblins once the PCs reach level 7 and only giants start appearing until level 11 when the giants disappear and are replaced by dragons. The other parts of the system are not that believable.

    What Is A Superhero?

    This is what I was thinking about the general vs the specific, from the Suicide Squad Wiki page. It does specify that they are villains and anti-heros, but they all fall under superhero.

    What Is A Superhero?

    I'm mostly here, but feel that the term superhero can mean any person with powers or abilities and not divide them into hero/villain/person unless it needs to be specific. A bit like arguing big D Democracy and little D democracy. Using this, I think Punisher is a 'superhero' because he has...

    Worlds Largest Dungeon Holds 'Secret Doors' Contest

    Sounded somewhat cool to look into until they wanted a video to go with the submission to post to YouTube and wanting me to get friends to vote for me and such like it is middle school. Gives it a feel more like a popularity contest over a search for good/interesting writing scenarios. I'll...
