    D&D 5E (2024) What medievalesque skill name do you prefer, for machinery, architecture, math, physics?

    Do you want a name that is cool for the campaign, or a name that the players will know and be able to use? I would just go with Engineering. People understand it and can easily apply it.

    What are must read short stories?

    The first one that came to mind was this old Star Wars book about all the little people in Mos Eisley when Han and Luke were there. It came out in 95'.

    Do Shorter Lists Make Players/GMs More Creative?

    I used to have a few 3pp spell books back in 3e days and treated those spells as more rare and the PCs could research them or find them in other spellbooks. . Today, I tend to just use the ones in the PHB. I could buy more stuff or make up stuff, but they serve as good enough. There is also...

    xkcd: What if you literally had all the money in the world?

    I watched this video the other day about 1971 and how productivity went up and how wages flatlined. I thought it was interesting to help with why the 0.1% own like 50% of all the stuff.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    I had to look it up. The All Black rugby team are named for their all black uniforms and not because they are all black people. I was thinking there was some team or league of just black people.

    What time would you play an evening online 3 hour game session mid to long term?

    I picked 8-11 so that dinner is wrapped up and cleaned up and the wife has gone to bed. There is no interruptions after 8pm. I think 7 would be better in case things ran a little late and I could be in bed for 11. Also do not know if after the game, I would be more awake and need some time to...

    D&D 5E (2024) How do we feel about the new spells

    @Vishy fishy first, welcome to the site. I have not played with the new spells that much yet to make great comments. I have a little and low level so far. There are some I like such as true strike and chromatic orb and others that I feel should have been changed such as spirit guardians and...

    D&D 5E (2024) [HOMEBREW] Ranger Ideas +

    I have seem other 'fixes' that make Hunter's Mark available every time you swing a sword or shoot a bow. Switching it as a free action or bonus action between swings and such. At some point the idea is to make it a thing and use it on each attack. Just make it a feature like what others are...

    RPG Print News – Melsonian Arts Council, Horrible Guild, and More

    I thought they looked pretty cool as well, but at $135.00 I think I'm priced out.

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Dungeon Puzzle Cube, Exoecology for Monster Hunters, and more

    I would likely just end up peeling the stickers off and making a flat dungeon out of them. I used to get soo frustrated with the thing.

    Boxed Sets: What Do You Want In Them

    I could see having a box set for a region of the world. Taking Forgotten Realms (FR) for example. A 'starter' box for the Cormyr region might have a couple maps and some pregens, maybe a few sheets on a tavern and town handouts and such, starter quest board stuff. A location booklet that has...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with Fungal Adventure in the Feywild

    You can find anything on the internet. I agree to not have a check unless you want to have consequences. If 5 PCs are making a check, expect one to fail. If you have them make 5 checks to get where they are going, expect all of them to fail at least once. You can them make a group check if...

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Dungeon Puzzle Cube, Exoecology for Monster Hunters, and more

    The free promo from Faces of the City looked pretty good. . There are several new powers that can be applied to others and a few that mimic having weapon mastery without the need to list more things.

    Boxed Sets: What Do You Want In Them

    A box set that is not a starter set? I'm now picturing those Beedle and Grimm boxes with all sort of things but cost hundreds of dollars. I would first want it affordable, like starter sets, but those are a loss leader from what I gather to draw people into that game. If it is a general D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    I was thinking of the Goodman Games updated version might be fun when first reading the post. A couple of the others look ok as well such as Caverns of Thracia or Dark Tower, but not Barrier Peaks or Lost City. These never seemed my game.

    AI is going to hack us.

    I heard there are naughty robots/dolls you can get from Japan, but wait until you can get an AI bot. Then people will fall in love as a dramatic pace.

    AI is going to hack us.

    I do not think it is just AI telling people things, but some believe it to be THE answer and not just a tool to help look at all the sides. It will get worse once kids lean on it and grow with it- same as cell phones and social media. We are not teaching people how to think and it is easier to...

    RPG Evolution: Steampunk Dice

    I do like the gears on the dice better than the ones inside the dice- more from a readability perspective, but also they look cooler to me. There might be a point where they get too distracting though. Is this a round d4- I want one!
