    Running multiple games in parallel?

    I'm towards the end of one campaign and we started another loose campaign that we play generally around holidays. It started when my son would come home from college and only have a night of play. I set up the low level PCs as henchmen of the higher level Pcs when that group first took over a...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    How would running one of the starter sets affect these numbers. If I started a campaign with Lost Mines (LMoP) and it goes to level 5-6 then ends. Do people start a new campaign or continue with the same PCs. I continued, but would guess many do not. Also school campaigns that get together...

    OSR What's Your Best Drop-In Content For A Sandbox?

    I have a couple random bandit/orc/thug encounters that I can drop about anywhere to use when things slow down. I try to keep them for the level and just add more monsters if the PCs become too powerful, so now they fight 50 bandits instead of just 6.

    Game Mechanics & Lore

    I think a lot of people on this site will say 5e let them down since it is not Dark Sun or Birthright. But D&D is supposed to be generic like @payn mentioned above. Each world has its own schtick where the flavor is found.

    D&D General Requesting Advice on FR Pantheon

    Asmodeus is in Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide (SCAG) P21. I never heard of him there until 5e and have not used him yet. There are so many other gods to use. I think I tend to use only 8-10 of the gods.

    Primitive War | Official Theatrical Trailer

    Seems like a watch when on streaming movie. Graphics appear to be a bit low-end, but may be not finished product.

    D&D 5E (2024) Does ring of fire resistance, and fire resistance stack from other sources?

    It is like advantage/disadvantage where you have it or not have it. I have not played with double advantage where you roll 3 dice instead of two, but heard that it is ok to play with.

    D&D General Requesting Advice on FR Pantheon

    I would always have Tymora in the list as well. The god of Luck is a favorite among adventurers. Maybe Umberlee is you have a larger ocean theme, but Talos can substitute easily. Try to have one for each alignment with enough bad guys to have their own conflict, and maybe a few good...

    Worlds of Design: In the Shadow of Tolkien

    I started playing D&D when I was 8 or so. I did not try to read the LotR books until I was in high school and then only got through the Hobbit. I recall the cartoon movie at some point but likely about the same time I started playing. Not sure on how much influence it had. The movies I did...

    Spells that hit two opponents and door/wall position

    I'm not familiar with fog of war but a spell like burning hands would work for me. We could discuss 5feet apart and if that meant the doors have a 5ft wall between them and the closest edge of each are 5ft from each other or is the doors measured from the center, but generally a blast spell...

    D&D General How to make a Stealth Archer in 5e

    Why not a rogue with the aim power that grants advantage? Then you get the sneak attack damage.

    D&D 5E (2024) Species based NPC Attacks

    I would be in favor of a cool power to add to the monster statblock for each of the pc races. It does not have to include all the things that a pc gets, but something cool that fits.

    Attributes Should Be a Guideline for Personality

    I think race, class and regions you grow up in affect things more than stats. A strong person might view a lot of situations from using Strength, but if they are an elf or dwarf vs a human might affect this more if they are all strong. Where the PC grows up might value restraint or value...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    This reminds me of the wedding cake maker several years ago, and if he should be forced to make a cake for a gay wedding which he did not want to claiming religious beliefs. This thread seems to have the opposite view in that the religious people are forcing themselves on the other side. I do...

    D&D 5E (2024) Species based NPC Attacks

    Is this more for just combat or for something to make each a bit more special. I mean dwarves get poison resistance so casters should not hit them with poison spells. A cool combat things might be to earthbind someone for a round. Halflings already get to reroll 1s which is both cool and...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    I seem to be a bit confused about the OP in that is the problem about credit card companies blocking sales of anything, or that the publishers of LGBQ things are being blocked? I kind of see credit card companies as the middleman between a seller and a buyer where their job is to make the sale...

    So you're done with D&D but still want to play D&Dish fantasy...

    I kind of see Level UP and Tales of Valiant as D&D/5e. I can play PCs in both games with no problems and there is a lot of overlap to where I would not need to learn hardly anything to play.

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    Is this supposed to be Jaraxle? Looks a bit muppet-like for me but I Googled the name and found several shades of skin tone for him.
