    D&D General Dice Tray with spots for die types/size?

    Slightly off topic: Have you tried a dice set that uses a bright primary colour for each different die type, so they could identify them quickly by colour? I backed a kickstarter that made sets like that - with nice big clean numbers for high visibility - and it's been a great help, especially...

    D&D 5E (2014) No Equivalent of Detect/Discern Lies in 5E?

    The impossibility of Point of Light settings

    It helps if you think of POL settings as basically Post-Apocalypse settings without guns and cars. This isn't a civilization that has evolved this way. It is the desperate survivors of whatever came before, trying to survive and - with the help of adventurers - rebuild. The whole edifice may be...

    TSR Who's running the TSR3 social media accounts?

    It's good so far. But this really needs an unplanned pregnancy and someone getting slapped in public to really be competitive in the modern reality show field.
