    D&D General A old roleplaying magazine had ideas for either buying or earning a title. Why not allow a character that earns a title to pay to upgrade it?

    You appear very interested in how medieval power-building took place, in order to transfer to D&D. I’d suggest you research this using historical sources and would recommend starting with the careers of the following, all of whom did it successfully (though not always with happy endings)...

    Your "In a Perfect World, I'd be playing X" Roleplaying Campaign

    I’m lucky enough to actually be in an awesome Enemy Within game using WHFRP4 rules, run by @TheSword I can’t speak highly enough of the campaign. It’s dark, engaging, challenging and threatening. We are currently in the forests near Wittgenstein, trying to contact a group of outlaws to enlist...

    How do you pronunce "grognard"?

    When I’m in UK or USA, option two. Quand je suis en France, l’option trois.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    I’m with you on 1984 being great for movies (and daughters in my case), but music? No, 1979 had Blondie, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, Ramones, Jam, X Ray Specs and many more. Impossible to match!

    Your "In a Perfect World, I'd be playing X" Roleplaying Campaign

    An interesting question and I’m going to stretch the djinn’s Powers a bit with my answer: I’d choose to play the G and D series of modules. I really wouldn’t mind if we played using 1E or 5e rules but I’d want to “get the band back together” of all the old friends from high school that I played...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fantasy Appalachia

    My personal local pronunciation oddity in southern UK is the village of Trotiscliffe, which is pronounced Tros-lee.

    D&D General The D&D We Played in 2022

    DM-ed the Saltmarsh Campaign for my in-person group to the finish and have just started The Scarlet Citadel for the same group (of players that is; new characters) In the same group, I’ve played in Odyssey of the Dragonlords, run by @TheSword and in Mad Mage. Online, I’ve played in the...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    Just my tuppence worth to support: Steampunkette is brilliant. She is an awesome DM, with an engaging and involving style. Incredibly creative and a writer of true talent. She’s also a great person. I truly hope that lots of people will get behind this Kickstarter. It will be superb!

    D&D 5E (2014) Favourite 5e Standalone Adventures

    Funnily enough, I’m currently using White Plume Mountain with my two grandkids and my wife, and we’re having a great time. Like you, I hadn’t played it since I was a teen. I’ve used Steading of the Hill Giant Chief a couple times as a one-off, altering the drow-influenced bits to fit the actual...

    RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: The Satanic Panic Comes to School

    MG sounds like a pretty foul person with nasty, conspiracy-style views; if you were in the US, I’d wonder whether your MG was missing a T?

    D&D General "illusionists and witches" in upcoming release...circa 1979

    The Witch did appear in one of the Dragon magazines. I can’t remember which one, but they were designed as opponents and were absolutely terrifying. I remember narrowly escaping a TPK from the Witches of Marmon in the Wilderlands. Must have been early 1980s.

    D&D 5E (2014) Zombies: Sink or Swim?

    Zombie-infested seaweed rafts, similar to the Sargasso Sea, but undead.

    Homebrew A Leveled Up Bestiary

    These creatures just scream (or rather, howl) horror-based games.
