    D&D General Introducing a Scientific Mindset to Dungeons and Dragons

    A lot of is are talking about DNA and evolution over millions of years, but this is a fantasy, we don't need that. We can have it if we want it, and a lot of people apparently do, but the world can actually be 10,000 year old. I think we often think we need scientific thinking to "make things...

    D&D General Introducing a Scientific Mindset to Dungeons and Dragons

    I'm sorry sir but the magic force comes not from uranium, but from the intricate lacing of oxygen and uranium within the crystal structure pitchblende. This lacing reproduces exactly a Star of Fortitude sigil. Indeed, purified uranium loses all magical properties and is hypothesized to be the...

    D&D General Introducing a Scientific Mindset to Dungeons and Dragons

    Another scientific idea I see come up is planets. Round, spherical planets governed by gravity. It's a fantasy, so the world can actually be flat. I can't say that i see this much in official products, but I do see it come up within the community. I always liked the planes as a metaphor for...

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    The past few posts display why I am not a fan of "species" as a term for race. It further introduces a scientific mindset to a fantasy game. I don't wish to derail this conversation, but the past few posts were just a good example. Further replies and comments can be posted here.

    D&D General Weekend Fun: What Fantasy Movie Does Your Ideal D&D Campaign Look Most Like?

    Yeah, it wasn't good. I think Sandahl should have been Red Sonya, but I read that she requested the part of the evil queen to stretch her acting chops.

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    Yes, I don't fit in. I am not a fan of superheros and never have been. In the 1980s I had no interest in the various super hero games, but I was glad they existed for people who do like those kinds of tales. Since the turn of the millennium it has been difficult for me to scratch that itch.

    Did anybody successfully answer the question. Or, question the answer.

    D&D General The nitty gritty

    I'm still stymied by all the people tracking time. Rest, on the other hand, seems to track itself. If you use up all your spell slots then you need to rest to get them back. If you want your hot pants back then you need to rest. It's usually the Players tracking this with comments like "Can we...

    Yeah, I would like to purchase a supplement that explores this. One that Players and Dungeon Masters can use as a shared reference.

    D&D General The nitty gritty

    Well, like a torch burns for 1 hour. I usually just say, "Hey, it's been awhile so your torch is getting low. You better light another one." Then someone at the table will do the math real quickly and point out that our last six encounters only netted about 12 and a half minutes. Or, something...
