    D&D General D&D Nerds! WotC teams up with Nerds Candy

    I've been saying that since the release of 1E Unearthed Arcana. ;)

    D&D General What are underused-but-iconic D&D elements?

    I'm a big fan of classic 60's and 70's dystopian sci-fi. If I was really creative, I would have come up with a moniker that was a mish-mash of Planet of the Apes (Charleston Heston version obviously), Logan's Run, THX 1138, The Omega Man and Soylent Green. Classics one and all.

    D&D General What are underused-but-iconic D&D elements?

    Personally, solving riddles/traps/puzzles was always my favorite part of the game. An adventure that was primarily focused on these types of encounters would be my ideal adventure and I would not feel as though I was "wasting" table time by engaging in them. My preferred encounter types...

    D&D General What are underused-but-iconic D&D elements?

    Dungeons with secret/concealed doors and devious traps that must be overcome by player skill.

    Who's the Best MCU Villain?

    As I know that the heroes are always going to be (eventually) victorious, I don't really care how threatening or powerful the villain is in any of the MCU movies. Thus, my main criteria for "best" is simply how much I enjoyed the character on screen. With that preamble out of the way, my...

    What do you eat for a typical breakfast?

    Kashi Go Lean cereal, seed nuts (usually almonds or cashews) and fruit (usually dried apricots or dried cherries). Plenty of fiber, plenty of protein and tastes pretty darn good.

    D&D 5E (2014) Going from 1st to 5th Edition

    I emphasized "logarithmic" because I have often felt that this would be the best paradigm for all character advancement. Generally, it seems that many gamers feel that D&D's "sweet spot" is at levels 3-10 (or 3-12 at most). Your characters are powerful enough (i.e. have enough hit points) that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasters and Balance in 5e: A Poll

    Same here. Thus my preference for "one trick pony" martials. ;) Besides, for me, combat is something that I don't mind participating in but it isn't the end-all-be-all of my gaming experience so I don't need to feel like I am "winning" the who can be the biggest bada## race in combat that...

    Rank your Treks!

    You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. :D (With apologies to Inigo Montoya)

    D&D General What would you call a cross between a Diviner and a Psychic?

    Di (viner) + (Psych) ic = Diic? "Behold the mighty power of Diic!" It's like a free casting of Tasha's Hideous Laughter every time you use it in the presence of a group of hostiles.

    D&D General Did you get your start playing D&D, and what do you play now?

    Started with Moldvay Basic in 1981 (the Erol Otus cover for the box set is one of two iconic images for me when I think of TTRPG). Quickly transitioned to Gygax AD&D (aka 1E) after my family moved (the Dave Trampier PHB cover is the second iconic image) and played that throughout middle and high...
