Gurpleburg Oontz ("Babbling brook, single drop" in Aquan)- water genasi barbarian, but an erudite barbarian. He reads and writes, he casts (a few) spells (from his race and the gate warden background from Planescape), his "rage" is actually letting the River Oceanus flow through him and has...

Something in the style of 3e's Unearthed Arcana- a book of alternate rules, allowing for a lot more customization and fine tuning of the game toward different playstyles.

Duskblade, ardent, runepriest, seeker, and jock are ones I can think of off the top of my head that aren't on the list yet. Yes, the jock was an adventuring class from Dragon Magazine back in the day, albeit one from (as I recall) an April issue.

These are my notes for the first adventure I'm running for one group that is playing my custom system ("DnD Jazz"): (EDIT: Maps not included. They are hand drawn and the city map is something like 3' x 4'.) ADVENTURERS’ INITIATION The pcs are the next group of possible initiates into the...

Just finished Morning Star, the third Red Rising book; next up is Harrow the Ninth, sequel to Gideon the Ninth.

Currently reading Morning Star, the third Red Rising book. Then on to Harrow the Ninth. And I just finished Snuff, by Terry Pratchett, who is an author about as enjoyable and humorous as Douglas Adams for me.

Perhaps Paranoia? It's very funny, but a constant series of disasters for the pcs.

Rassled with a storm giant.

Ghost wagon is drawing undead.

I really like the Sovereign (E) design. My second favorite is the refit (A)/original Enterprise. The Galaxy class is really far down my list- probably last. I just don't like its looks, and never have.

Yes... with caveats. I want to know what my character would know. So it depends/somewhere in between. Yes.

Awesome!!! One of my personal favorites returns!

Yeah, but it's neither an adventure or a setting, although it includes some setting material. It's a whole system. That said, I love me some Arduin.

Or maybe he meant what he said at the time, but something or someone persuaded him to change his position. I don't think it's too generous to acknowledge that Goodman isn't necessarily a liar. Sometimes things change. Which isn't to justify that change- I think it was probably a bad decision-...

Is there any way to get new UA stuff without a D&D Beyond account? For some reason I can't sign up and it's very annoying.

Currently reading Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock. As usual, his work is pretty dense, though this one isn't as dense as, say, Cryptonomicon. It's a big fat book with a lot of moving parts. I'm loving it.

Temporary hit points and raising a pc's current and maximum hps are both good ways around this.

Arrive at. I also find constructions such as "different to" very weird- to me, it's "different from".

It seems like any stuff that you have pre-built in your setting, such as a pre-existing dungeon or an area that has detailed politics, leans into lego sandboxing by this definition. So I guess, by dint of having lots of details in my setting worked out, I lean toward lego sandboxing. But I think...

As a one-shot or limited run, sure. For a regular long term campaign, I'd probably decline- I want to make my own character. I am fine with the DM giving me whatever equipment, though.
