    D&D Movie/TV New D&D movie details? Vecna?!

    One can certainly hope so! Don't get me wrong, I love the 'Realms as well as Greyhawk. I just think that if WotC really wants to keep mixing and matching elements from campaign worlds they really should just reintroduce Spelljammer or something to reconnect all the worlds, and if they want to...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D movie details? Vecna?!

    That was a refreshing surprise, yes. :)

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D movie details? Vecna?!

    Yes, originating on Oerth, with Vecna. It's just irksome to see the World of Greyhawk being continuously strip-mined for all its cool toys, while the rest of it is left to rot in abandonment.

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D movie details? Vecna?!

    "The upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie will feature at least one character with ties to the Forgotten Realms... Vecna... " WHAT? That's just infuriating... This kind of thing just makes us old Greyhawk geezers feel very... irked.

    D&D 5E (2014) Travelling to the past in Ravenloft

    Yes, Roots of Evil is the sequel to From the Shadows, which itself is the 4th part of the Hyskosa's Hexad series of modules, which began with Feast of Goblyns. Feast of Goblyns is a great module, if only for the wonderful specialized Ravenloft character sheet that is included with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Travelling to the past in Ravenloft

    It sounds like you might be talking about Roots of Evil, one of the original Ravenloft modules from 2nd Edition, and involves Azalin sending a group of PCs back in time to try to wreck the original formation of the Demiplane of Dread by interfering with the events at Sergei's wedding and...

    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana: Psionics!

    Yuck. I liked the Mystic class just fine. This is extremely underwhelming.

    TSR TSR's "Designeritus"

    I must say that is an understatement, Good Sir; the original Dark Sun boxed set was sublime. :D I was actually fortunate enough to find an original Dark Sun boxed set on eBay in truly excellent condition about 2 years ago for $60, unopened and with the shrink wrap still intact! I got a genuine...

    D&D 5E (2014) Go Go Gadget Arm! Eberron Preview

    This reminds me of the only Eberron character I ever really played; our DM had us make characters at 8th level, but I really wasn't into Eberron until I started thinking about it like a comic book and decided to just go crazy with magitech comic book ideas. So I made an Artificer with a golem...

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    That would be AWESOME! Well, at least it would have been awesome for me back in the day when I actually went out to the bar. ;) But I'm happy for others who get to enjoy it now! The explanation is just my best guess, really; I've never been what you would call attuned to popular...

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    This, right here, is why I believe D&D is so popular now. People want an "excuse" to get away from their social media accounts and gather together to actually interact with other live human beings in a personal, meaningful way, and having a structured game with which to do so feels like a...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Gem Dragons Are Officially Back

    I like the distinction between Magic and Psionics as being that Magic comes from without, and Psionics comes from within. I consider Psionics and Ki to be the same energy, like The Force and the Asian concepts of Prana and Ki/Qi that The Force is based on; life energy that is generated by...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Gem Dragons Are Officially Back

    I use the Mystic class from Unearthed Arcana; I think is is wonderful, and I absolutely ADORE the style of the system they used for psionic powers, the way that it is full of reactions and bonus actions to activate powers, the way the Disciplines act as a "menu" of powers to choose from, and how...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Gem Dragons Are Officially Back

    Yeah, the Gem Dragons' schtick wasn't just that they were Neutrally aligned between the Metallic and Chromatic Dragons, but that they were naturally psionic as well as magical. I really hope that they retain that aspect for them, it was an important part of their makeup, beginning with their...

    I like this. Very very much!

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Elizabeth Báthory

    Very cool! I like that you made her into an "ordinary" human serial killer, rather than going with the more popular idea of Bathory being some kind of vampire-like entity. Side note: being a native English speaker I always assumed her name was pronounced BATH-ory, but apparently the proper...
