    D&D 5E (2014) Lesser Vorpal Sword

    I want to give my players a vorpal sword. They are fourth level. Do you think it's too early for a vorpal sword? I think it might be too early for a warpful sword. So I came up with the lesser vorpal sword. It does everything a normal vorpal sword does except it only gives a +1 bonus and you...

    D&D General Poll: Did you watch the D&D cartoon when it was new?

    Heh, heh, older farts are disparaging "My" Dungeons and Dragons experience. This must be how Eberron era players feel.

    D&D General Poll: Did you watch the D&D cartoon when it was new?

    I was the little Red Box kid for whom this series was made. Yes, I watched it on Saturday mornings religiously. I had just recently started playing Dungeons and Dragons, and had co-founded an official Dungeons and Dragons club at school.

    WizKids to Release Glow-in-the-Dark D&D Miniatures

    Well, you're right, I guess they'd be useful in a candlelight game. Or, would they, would you be able to see them glow in candlelight? I wonder. 🤔

    WizKids to Release Glow-in-the-Dark D&D Miniatures

    Wow! If I bought these I think I would see them glow exactly two times. First when they initially arrive and I'm alone. After that, it would be just before I switch the light back on at the gaming table so we can actually play.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    The Pinkerton's issue was another example of hyper-vigilant overreach. People mobilize "their side" by making hyperbolic "horrible human" assertions so people understand what side they should be on given their political leanings.

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    You know what, this was a mistake. Just forget I brought it up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    I stopped collecting after Tasha's. That's about the time that things had gotten real political in the community. I now don't feel comfortable playing. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells, and am always concerned that I may hurt someone and make them mad at me. I have feelings too and I'm scared.

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    Yeah, it's a superhero game in Dungeons and Dragons clothing. But, that's what we want so that's what we get. When I started playing role-playing games I chose to play Dungeons and Dragons rather than DC heroes because I don't care for super heroes. Just like I chose to play Top Secret and not...

    I'm curious, what books are we expecting from Wizards of the Coast in 2025?

    D&D General Best dungeons?

    The Vivified Labyrinth from Curse of the Crimson Throne was a lot of fun. It's a dungeon set on a series of giant gears that changes configuration as you pull different levers to explorer it. It separated the bard from the rest of the party. 😈 Also, The Clash of the Kingslayers has a dungeon...

    D&D General Your Character Died! Who's Fault Was It?

    The last time a character of mine died he snapped a Staff of Power over his knee next to a four-armed gargoyle and did maximum damage, butt instead of getting shunted to another plane of existence...he died spectacularly. This was in a you-kill-it-you-keep-it miniatures game and I was...

    D&D General Your Character Died! Who's Fault Was It?

    I chose: "I don't understand the question. Characters can die." But I changed the question mark to a period.

    D&D General The New York Times on D&D

    I think it's possible that a proportion of the sales come from people who bought the books simply because it's the 50th anniversary edition. Heck, some may not even play Dungeons and Dragons anymore.

    D&D General The New York Times on D&D

    I would add that there is a big 50 on the the new books. A lot of people probably bought the books simply for that reason.
