    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    "2" I understand the desire to minimize our collective complicity in corporate misdeeds via selective purchasing, 100%. When the initial hubbub around them trying to pull the OGL happened, I dutifully pulled my Beyond sub and explained why in the exit form. They corrected course, so I've let...

    Weird rules interpretations you've encountered?

    There are worse ways to play and learn. I kinda love this.

    D&D General Developing a Homebrew Pantheon: Another word for "Saint?"

    I like "Exarch" and "Paragon." I think "Exemplar" is also appropriate.

    In-Depth Review of Quests from the Infinite Staircase

    I'm running my group through Quest's version of Lost City, and we're having a great time with it. I'm curious to see if they simply flee the ziggurat or if they try to interact more with the City below. I've run the first few levels of the original with B/X. While I enjoyed it then, I have to...

    D&D General How to be a Not-Terrible DM: Thoughts on the Upcoming DMG

    As ever, I find myself agreeing with you. If you happen to have an opening for disciples, goons, and/or henchfolk, I'd like to forward an application. For me, however, what I find lacking in the DMGs is less about general advice and more about what I'll haltingly call "content" (what was that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Quests from the Infinite Staircase: How Is It?

    I'm running our first session of Infinite Staircase today. I'm doing away with the Staircase conceit and adopting more of the "in medias res" conceit of old pulp fantasy. We'll use Xanathar's downtime mechanics between modules to purchase stuff, but otherwise we're focusing on the adventures...

    Our Physical Fitness

    I track workouts with apps like Strong and Hevy, which are pretty good for what they are. I'll have to check Macro Factor out.

    Our Physical Fitness

    Any interest in reviving this? I'd be interested in seeing what kind of training splits and diets y'all are following. By the end of the spring semester, I found I was tired of tracking calories, realizing it had led me to a lot of yo-yo dieting. I would cut calories and trim fat, but that...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    As someone who was only sporadic at best in the "Didn't Comment" thread, real talk: does the "Pineapple-On-Pizza" metaphor have a specific correspondence in the current rules or does it just refer to the tendency to evangelize about one's tastes?

    AD&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    I played in a game where we fought that guy, and I took his sword. Every fight afterward usually featured me asking a variant of the following question: "but is it a peasant werewolf?"

    Our Physical Fitness

    I stayed offsite at the Abbey Resort, which meant I pretty much had the run of their gym while I was there. That was really nice as I don't have much self-control when it comes to eating on vacation.

    Sales Figures for TSR Marvel Superheroes RPG

    Hi, all. I'm wondering if any of you know where I could find sales figures for the TSR-era Marvel Superheroes RPG line. I know those sorts of figures can be hard to come by and that Ben Riggs did some work on finding that information for D&D. I have no idea how to find it on my own, though. :/...

    What adventure module have you pillaged the most without using the main plot?

    I've used Storm King's Thunder for place-based encounters, its random encounter tables, and its gazetteer (which was frankly stronger than SCAG) for several campaigns. I've run PotA twice now, and both times, the Red Larch and surface stuff was far stronger than the back half of the campaign...

    I've never been much into rowing (too much cardio peanut butter in my resistance training chocolate), but this bit about old man knees? It's making me reconsider.

    D&D General "I'd like to run (or play in) an all ___________ campaign." (+)

    A friend and I have joked about doing an all-bard party of "monstrous" humanoids and basically playing Gwar. Our calling? Summon Gor Gor.
