    D&D General Simple Rules for a Dark Sun Game

    I you only want a 1-shot and will play for only a few hours, I would skip all the parts on races and character creation, and focus on the world. Have a couple things on magic and any classes you think the need, need not think are cool. Players will not care about the world like you will and do...

    When you play in person, where do you play? (Poll)

    30+ years ago we played at my parents house with my father being a player. About that time we switched to play at the Legion after the scouts meeting. I think we started off playing MagicTG with some other friends that do not play D&D, but switched at some point. We still play at the Legion...

    Planescape Looking for sources on how alignments phsyically function as substances

    There is no official published material that I am aware of for this.

    D&D General Whom keeps the torches lit?

    I find that it gets around everyone having darkvision. Plus I do not have to try and explain the map where only some PCs see some things since the range is shorter than others and some have light and some have....

    [AI][GM] How to shorten GM prep time

    I have not tried anything with AI other than seeing a search for something pop up, but I'm sure at some point it will get ingrained enough to be more everyday. I'm also guessing that the prompts get easier to input once you get the hang of how it works.

    A New Hope Returns to Theaters in 2027 for 50th Anniversary Celebration

    They are not even going to roll out more garbage to milk the franchise this time? How many more movies are going to want to do this? Too bad we missed Chinatown last year.

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    I would likely not play it or buy it. I can see other wanting it, same like Dark Sun and such, but just not my kind of D&D. At a convention it would be fun to play a one-shot.

    D&D General Neurodivergence & Magic

    Goes back to if you think all magic is the same beam of light or are all of the casters practicing different types. Maybe each class learns magic differently and some classes are easier for people to learn. I mean a warlocks brain could work in ways that make it easier for demons or fey...

    D&D General Curse of Tiamat/Rage of A Dragon Queen

    My players would likely attack most things that approach them that looks like a bad guy. Maybe some sort of figment or Harry Potter letter that animates and then catches fire when read. Skeleton dragons that act as a mouthpiece works or lowly goblins that grovel to the PCs for help before...

    D&D General Neurodivergence & Magic

    I guess things depends on how you view magic. Is it more wizardry and you must gather the right materials and say the right words and study the right words and markings. Is it more Sorcerer in that you are born with it and suddenly you know how to do it without learning the right rules like...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ultra Pri Offers Drizzt Forgotten Realms Accessories.

    If I open it in another tab, then I can zoom in. It is still hard to read and I only know by knowing some on the world already.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms book trailer

    The one minute video did not show much. It did name several of the big names in the Realms, but I admit not knowing Karlach, but I do not play Baldur's Gate (BG3). It kind of names a few locations and such, but the video does not say anything about what is in the actual books. A bit of a...

    Worlds of Design: Who Gets the Crown?

    I tend to not use succession in may of the game. Things like politics tend to have more elements and mysteries that my players do not want to invest in. They have been on adventures where there is a noble that needs help or a mission, but this tends to be the quest-giver NPC that comes and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ultra Pri Offers Drizzt Forgotten Realms Accessories.

    I kind of like this seen in the link above. Did not see a price though. I have seen others similar that people have made themselves and use the page inserts. (From the site linked) The Dungeon Master is also considered in the line with the Premium Dungeon Master’s Screen, a three-fold...

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    Smart monsters like some already mentioned are harder to run. Also some of the PC races like elves who are long-lived. A bit like the Hobbit movie and the elf king not wanting to waste elf lives since normal human and dwarf lives are gone so soon that it makes an elf life so much more...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2025 Starter Set quick unboxing.

    So quick, I missed the inside of the box and only seen the shaky cover.
