    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons & Dragons Vs. Rick and Morty: A Review

    It's probably impossible to measure, but did the Stranger Things set bring many new people into the hobby? I imagine these niche starter sets generate lots of news mentions as well as purchases by fans of the IP, but I'm curious to what extent they also create significant numbers of actual new...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm looking for the particular source UA entry that loremaster wizard is from.

    Ah, I thought they are always standalone docs like that? I don't think they're officially bundled into a unified source document. You've likely seen this, too, but here's the page that links to the pdf to put it in "context" on the wotc site (no additional info, though): Warlock and Wizard |...

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    D&D will finally be truly mainstream when the news media finally stops remarking how mainstream it is.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Gem Dragons Are Officially Back

    And vulnerability to damage of type "tortilla chip".

    Maybe It's Time for a Break?

    A break can be a good thing, even a long one. I'm coming out of a multi-year gaming deep freeze myself. It was sorely needed, and now I'm stoked to be getting back into it again. You'll get your mojo back. It. will. be. amazing.

    Terrible idea: streaming services to only unlock the next episode a week after you watch the last one.

    I can definitely envision a suit thinking that's a good idea, blocking binge-watching and forcing people to stick around on a service for months longer than they otherwise would. But I'm a binge-watcher, so they'd lose me immediately. I'll never miss what I never see.

    D&D General $299 D&D Anniversary Sapphire Dice

    As long as there are people out there willing to drop $300 on a set of dice, that means the hobby is probably in an okay place. Those dice aren't for me, but I'm not complaining....

    D&D 5E (2014) Medicine Checks

    DC 25: Transplant tail. ;) Sounds reasonable, it's certainly fits the trope. If nothing else, it seems appropriate to add a degree of challenge/depth to building a golem, something beyond just "I read the manual of golems!" Why not add in a few steps, like assembling the body (Medicine for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Medicine Checks

    A couple others, basically just more surgery: DC 15: remove a tattoo without trace DC varies: "correct" a "deformity" without trace (eg, remove a tiefling's tail, a fae's wings, or an orc's tusks) re: All the discussion of whether or not this is a useful exercise.... For me at least...

    D&D 5E (2014) Medicine Checks

    NOt sure if you're interested in just random brainstorming, but here are a few ideas that have mainly investigative or RP uses, rather than practical healing applications. Most of this is just off the top of my head (caveat emptor, I'm very new to 5e!). However, a few are from 3pp bestiaries...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins drops 2020 hint!

    CoS is awesome... so I suppose some Dread Domains stuff would be fine? But tbh, I'd really prefer to see something else. Desert of Desolation would be sweet.

    2000-2009 Aging Badly?

    Sorry! It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, just as Son of the Serpent and Bohandas guessed. Apparently, I need to work on my snark skills. :(

    D&D General The limiting drawback of character customization

    I've done it both ways, depending on the genre, the rules used, and table preference. If the PCs are implicitly destined to be Heroes! with elaborate backgrounds and high-AC plot armor, they'll eventually get most of the stuff they need to flesh out their character as they envision it. If the...

    New posts appearing on wrong page

    That "new messages have been posted" notice no longer appears for me, though it did as of a few days ago. Now the new posts just automagically appear on whatever page of the thread I'm reading, just as SkidAce describes.

    New posts appearing on wrong page

    In the last few days, I've noticed that new posts have started showing up automatically, which is nice. However, these updates append to the bottom of whatever page I'm reading, instead of staying hidden until I get to the last page of the thread. The new posts show up again in their proper...
