    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    I like art that sends me through a range of emotions. I think I went through cool to meh, to ok.

    In real life, Dire Wolves, resurrected from the dead

    I would be in favor of bringing back Neanderthals, but it might put that spokesman for Geiko out of business. Whatever happened to Dolly the cloned sheep? Apparently she lived out her life in the cloning place in Scotland where she was born/made and had 6 babies and died in 2003 at half the...

    Best fantasy names in literature

    I guess seeing them in writing makes them easier. Maybe I'm getting old.

    Best fantasy names in literature

    I was watching the Wheel of Time series on TV and cannot understand most of those names. I seem to only recall Rand at the moment.

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    It seems that Cinderella knew, as well as Ferris.

    Binary Success vs Multiple Levels of Success

    It seems only skills are multiple levels of success. Combat you hit or miss and saves are for nothing or half damage mostly. The exploration and social pillars get opposed by the DM wanting to push information to the players vs the players not getting the clues or looking in the right places...

    Necessity of a Social Negotiation System? – When Should It Be Relevant?

    I'd be in favor of using backgrounds more. Tell me why you should get a roll to sway someone and not just some sort of diplomacy roll. Or maybe you get a bonus to the check. I'm not sure to giving advantage, but maybe based on how you judge the die roll. If the DC is based on simple (10)...

    How do you use the "Trivia" ability?

    Problem is that anything could be trivia and some could/would use it to push too far. Is trivia tied to intelligence? If yes, make it a check or even give out a trivia coin each night of gaming to use for something to automatically pass the check.

    Best fantasy names in literature

    I do not care for some of these names myself. I find that using names hard to pronounce and/or names that cause me to stop reading to go over a problem. Some of the others mentioned above like Dickens and Shaw are fine to me.

    How many years does it take for an RPG to become nostalgic, for you?

    Likely a bit like a song and it depends on time and place. Some songs remind me of youth and high school and others remind me of time in the Army or getting married and such. I recall some sessions of playing games more than others. While I remember 1e and playing with the neighborhood kids...

    RPG Evolution: Skull Dice

    They do look cool for a gift or something. It looks like you need to hold them and turn them around to see the skulls in most of them because of the angles of the sides and such. I know a few people who would love them, but again, I'm at the age where I need simple with good contrast to read...

    D&D General What Bits of History Inspire Your Homebrew Setting?

    I tend to take a lot of engineering from Roman and middle ages. The series of watermills in southern France provided enough flour to feed like a million people or something outrageous like that. They dug through mountains and building the bridge over the Danube River are amazing.

    Karate Kid: Legends - Official Trailer #2

    Just saw the person who played the mom in the first movie while watching the first season of The Resident doctor show. I knew the voice, but took a while to remember from where.

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    I agree that it should be short enough to get the ideas across and leave some places for investigation. I recall the old Dungeon Magazines that has a whole page of introduction and those are too long.
