    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    You know what I like about gnomes? They like to dig. And every once in a while they dig up a thread that's been buried for a couple years.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Level To Hunt A Great Wyrm?

    So, in that case, they'd have to be level 18 (18 x 1.5 = 27). But that formula doesn't take into account the number of party members. 2 single level 18 characters would get slaughtered by the Great Wyrm, while 8 level 18 characters would mop the floor with it (even though both groups would...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Level To Hunt A Great Wyrm?

    If a Chromatic Great Wyrm is CR 27, then using @SlyFlourish lazy DM deadly encounter guideline, 4 level 14 characters would have 56 total levels, half of which would be 28. So that would make a CR 27 less than deadly (unless they were completely spent at the end of an adventuring day).

    D&D 5E (2024) Understanding "nostalgia"

    The fundamental flaw in this hypothesis is that people tend to listen to music all throughout their lives; whether intentionally (playing records, cassette tapes, CDs, streaming files) or subconsciously (background music in stores/restaurants/movies/TV shows/TV commercials). Whereas people who...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do people think of the new dragon designs?

    This is how I feel too. The artwork of the gold dragon is amazing. But as a “Dungeons & Dragons Gold Dragon,” I’m not a fan of the design. I was kind of afraid to say that since the love for it in this thread seemed to be virtually unanimous. I thought surely I must be missing something...

    D&D General Ignoring the rules!

    I’m sure I’m not alone in ignoring carrying capacity/encumbrance

    D&D 5E (2024) So what happened to the new and classic campaign settings? (and what's next?)

    They sort of did introduce a new setting: Exandria. They worked with Matt Mercer to release The Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount and Call of the Netherdeep,

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    Shortly after 4e was released I stopped playing D&D. My group’s dislike for the edition was only part of it. The other reasons were: one person got married, another person moved, a third person decided he wanted to go back to college. Back in 2018, my daughter had gotten into WoW, so I was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say you aren’t familiar with the two people I mentioned (and I’m guessing you didn’t google them either).

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me that the Ranger is a necessary Class.

    I disagree. The paragon of Rangers would be either Henrik Lundqvist or Ivan Rodriguez.

    D&D General So, how much did/do you use psionics?

    I used the Psionic options in 3.0e a little I loved the Psionic options in 3.5e (one of my favorite 3.5e characters was a Psychic Warrior named Jahar Narishma) I never stuck around with 4e long enough to get the PHB2, let alone the PHB3 I wish there was an official Psion class in 5e '14 I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell Me About Your 5E Psionic Character

    I created a Psion subclass for the Wizard. My daughter was play-testing it, but we haven't played that campaign in a while :(

    WotC D&D teasing entry into Dead by Daylight

    I don’t know much about Fortnite, but from how my daughter describes it, this sounds a lot like a more mature version of Among Us

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter Balance holds back 5E

    I’d consider the Fellowship to be pretty heroic, but they sure as hell ran away from the Balrog that would otherwise have obliterated them.

    D&D General Which Adventure Paths Did You Finished

    We haven’t played the new Shattered Obelisk, but we did finish old LMoP. But I didn’t see that on the list…

    D&D General How many D&D5e(2014) "Adventure Paths" have you played/finished?

    I’m not sure how to answer this question. My group finished both HotDQ and RoT, which would be 2. But now they’re combined into ToD, so maybe it’s just 1? One of my groups stared TftYP, but hasn’t finished yet. Another of my groups intends to do CotND, but we’re currently doing Unwelcome...

    It’s been a while, but is that screenshot from Morrowwind or Daggerfall?

    D&D General What Classes Would You Add to D&D?

    When OneD&D was still doing the Mages, Warriors, Experts, and Priests groupings, I was pulling for Warlord, Psion, and Shaman to round things out to an even 4 per group.
