    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Tasslehoff's Pouches of Everything Revised

    As someone who will likely soon be running Dragonlance and so bought this, the Dragonlance Companion, Jeremy Forbring’s equivalent book (Peoples and Paragons), and will also be purchasing the Aesthetic’s Almanac equivalent, I’d say … it depends what you want. This book has the best-designed set...

    Well, except for the trash talk. Hey [ insert competitor name here ], your mother has mediocre taste in literature, and her vol-au-vents are underseasoned!

    D&D General D&D Canon - why is it important and how does it affect your game?

    I want canon to exist, because it lessens my workload as a GM. It gives me a nice backup to work with should my PCs go off in an unexpected direction. It gives my players options and inspiration for their PCs, to help immerse themselves in the world and the lore, to ground their PCs in the...

    Both entries completed over 12 hours ahead of the deadline. Yikes, is that a first? Edif: and of course I immediately noticed that i forgot to bold unlikely mutiny. Oh well, too late now

    D&D 5E (2014) Advent's Amazing Advice: The Wild Sheep Chase, A One-Shot fully prepped and ready to go! (Updated: Now with Playlist)

    [thread necro!] So I'm looking for a short 3hr-ish one-shot to run for a bunch of not-completely-new players, one that contains both roleplaying and combat. I've seen this one recommended in several places, so i bought it. And it seems to do pretty much what I want, except I have a massive...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Mulhorand (FR) Campaign Guide available on DM's Guild, with Ed Greenwood as co-author

    Oh hell yes, I'm all over this. I love Mulhorand and its surrounding areas - Unther, Estagund, the Great Rift, etc are some of my favourite parts of the Realms. Though it's a bit odd to see Ed Greenwood's name on it, as I'm pretty sure he distinctly does NOT love Mulhorand or the other bits of...

    D&D Movie/TV Check Out These Previews Of Hasbro's New D&D 'FAST' Channel

    I mean, it works in theory, but in practice I suspect that the production costs of even one professionally produced streaming show would quite likely eat up the profits that WotC make on older edition material quite handily.

    IRON DM 2023 Tournament Thread

    Have to admit, when you didn't get a bard-related initial ingredient i thought the judges missed a prime comedic opportunity. But honestly, you'd have just mercilessly killed off the bard as a plot hook in your submission, wouldn't you?

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Dragonlance Companion

    I think they were just invented to be used as fairly generic bad guy footsoldiers in one module, and then largely forgotten about.

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Dragonlance Companion

    One of the big 3 DMsGuild Dragonlance sourcebooks, and like all of them, has some good stuff and some less good stuff. Agreed that baaz draconians are a big gap here, as are the explosive death rules for the various draconian PC races. I'm not absolutely in love with the half-ogre rules, but...

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    I might just be showing my age, but I have real trouble mentally adjusting to the fact that in some parts of the world, ‘Xander’ is an actual name that real human beings have, rather than just being a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference.

    D&D General Jaquaying the dungeon - a term to avoid

    You have no idea how much self-control I had to exert to prevent myself spinning up an alt account called ‘Harold Veeblefetzer’ and taking theatrical umbrage to this suggestion…

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    Sorry to go off-topic, but can you link me to where you’ve done this writing? I’m looking at running a heavily modified SotDQ at some point, and I’m kinda reading everything I can find in the pitfalls (even the Alexandrian’s stuff!)
