    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Note to self: Remember to stay off ENWorld when you're in a bad mood and opening any thread feels like this And my immediate impulse is to just post this and leave: I think I'll see you all next year. . . Hope your holidays are uneventful.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I'd love for ENWorld to have a feature where you can start a new thread that is auto-locked (no one can comment - not even you!) and it gets bumped from likes. Oh wait. That's just a blog. :sneaky:

    D&D General Why Were the Dragon and Dungeon Magazines Discontinued?

    I don’t think I have given out a standard by the book magic item (save a potion or two) since sometime in the late 90s. That said, as much as I loved Dragon mag back in the day, I know I would not be the audience for it anymore because it was Dragon that helped me to learn how to homebrew to...

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    The main thing I don’t like about D&D is the same thing I love about it: the people who play it. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Oh and the people who don’t play it but somehow love to complain about it.

    Aging and Gaming

    Yeah, I'm the opposite. The older I get the more I expect everyone to focus and I am blessed with two groups who do so (we got one guy who can inadvertently rattle on when he gets going, so I try to jump on early we can chit chat before hand). Luckily, I see everyone in my in-person game...

    Aging and Gaming

    I'll be 54 this year, been playing since the summer I turned 12. I hear you all on needing readers (been using them since 41 - after a year of squinting and having to have my wife read menus to me in dark restaurants). I never developed the patience to read long things on a screen. I will if I...

    TSR Level Titles

    I remember being really confused as an 11-year old trying to figure out why a thief might be called a "footpad." :ROFLMAO:

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    In my previous homebrew setting “drow” was not a sub race of elf, it was the name for an elf (or elven community) who dedicated themselves to the spider goddess and turned evil. Thus a drow could look like any elf, they just had a template that gave them the powers associated with drow (and when...

    D&D General Drow as in Cow or Drow as in Snow: Where did the Dark Elves Come From?

    I knew a kid who pronounced it “puh-swade-oh” dragon.

    D&D General Drow as in Cow or Drow as in Snow: Where did the Dark Elves Come From?

    The reference to the urban conditions in the 1970s makes me want to remake this iconic and infamous headline into "Mordenkainen to Greyhawk: DROP DEAD" :ROFLMAO: Edit to add: Now that's what I call "Muscular Neutrality" ;)

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I love these ideas and look forward to their development, but I will say I can't help but snicker at the term "hopepunk" (and have ever since I first heard it a few years go) because when I think "punk" I think of it as an F.U. to the establishment from a sense of there being "NO FUTURE" (so...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking Motivation/Inspiration

    Put one of the gems they are hunting in the Princess's crown and have the mercs (or another rival party) be after that one next, with her trip to the neighboring kingdom being the opportunity for it to be grabbed, requiring the party to try to intercept. If you need the party to have more info...

    D&D General How Do D&D Adventurers Dress?

    Yes, definitely. Though I will say I have long played with what I’ll call “non-mechanical traditions,” both in D&D games I’ve run for friends and ones friends have run, that while magic can accomplish some things technically well they can fall short of mortal expectations/desires. So for...
