    D&D 5E (2014) How long does it take to reach level 20?

    I've completed Age of Worms (D&D3.5). We played 4h/week. We reached Lvl23, I think, in 2 years of play. Actually, in game time, we spent also 2 years! The advancement was faster then usual play.

    D&D 5E (2014) You Can Now Get Minis For The D&D Combat Wheelchair

    I actually DO have a friend in a wheelchair (I'm his best friend, I think) I can assure you, he dreams of being normal. If he played D&D, his character would not be a disabled person. Really, I don't see the point in these minis. They look good, however.

    D&D General Did D&D Die with TSR?

    One could say D&D died with Gygax being fired. One could say D&D died with TSR, and the d20 system. One could say D&D died with 4e. My experience of D&D is one of roleplaying high fantasy tales. I was served well by most of the rulesets: BECMI, AD&D2, D&D3.5, 5e. Just now, D&D is - or could be...

    D&D General Violence and D&D: Is "Murderhobo" Essential to D&D?

    In my opinion... Violence is ingrained in human experience. In ancient times, for millennia, males had to protect the females during pregnancy, and hunt to gain food. This is the basis for male aggressivity: violent males are more likely to survive with their female and offspring. This is also...

    D&D General Gary Gygax a racist?

    So let's talk about the Elephant in the room. We are in a time in which the statues of Christopher Columbus, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are torn down because they were racists. Shouldn't we be brave enough to tear down the image of the Founder of our beloved game, Gary Gygax, the...

    D&D General Memorable dragon encounters

    Into the Wormcrawl Fissure (Age of Worms AP). Dragotha. I was DMing and had advanced Dragotha from Wyrm to Great Wyrm. My PCs were truly overpowered at Lvl 19 (one was an invincible Frenzied Berserker) but I knew Dragotha was so strong that could wipe the floor with them. So I had Lashonna gift...

    D&D General Memorable dragon encounters

    Hall of the Fire Giant King. Brazzemal the Burning. When we met the great beast we were already tired, and we knew we were in big trouble. In the first round we had initiative. The cleric (Anja) could only cast Slay Living and hope. She overcomed the 80% Magic Resistance, then Brazzemal rolled...

    TSR Jim Ward: Demons & Devils, NOT!

    I play since the 80s, I love the game, and I'm proudly Roman Catholic. But I'm not stupid or naive. The game actually IS a gateway to occultism for many. I personally know a couple of players that took that road. It cannot be denied that some elements of the game, such as the spells, were taken...

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

    Got the product yesterday. It is a starter set, from the point of view of Rick from Rick & Morty. I had no idea of what Rick & Morty was. The production values are very high. I found a set of yellow dice (basic, dull, but always useful), a rules booklet, an adventure booklet (Lvl 1-5), a screen...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sell this 3.5 grognard on 5e

    Like you, I love 3.5. In fact I still love it! But the thing is, the complexity of 3.5 makes the game slow, especially at high level, and can take the attention away from roleplay to rollplay. 5e keeps the good things from 3.5, makes the game simpler and faster, and returns to a 2e feeling...
