    D&D Movie/TV Photos from the D&D Movie Set

    Difficult to judge, I just hope that everything gets "rougher" in post-production. Like, those banners are too NEW, the armor in the second picture looks like cosplay, and so on. I know I should probably not even mention it, but LotR was 20 years ago, could we hope for at least that kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Two New D&D Books Revealed: Feywild & Strixhaven Mage School

    Yesterday I was watching Maleficent with the kids, the Moors is what I imagine the Feywild like. I hope the "circus" is just some sort of gateway to get to the real Feywild.

    D&D 5E (2014) My critic on VRGtR

    I quite enjoyed this book. My only minor (really minor) nitpick is the "style" of the book. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but I loved the gothic "look" of previous editions of Ravenloft. Some fully black pages, with white or red letters, black & white art (even better if it was from Fabian)...

    Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft Review Round-Up – What the Critics Say

    I would love a one-shot scenario for each domain, a 30-something sessions campaign through Ravenloft!

    D&D General First D&D Character?

    My first ever was Karnak, a Fighter from the D&D Red Box. So yeah, human. Back in the days, all I could draw were skulls, so I decided my fighter would wear a cracked ogre skull as an helmet. He died at level 4, killed by a crystal statue.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's so hard to die!

    Yes, absolutely! I don't mean to derail the topic, I was just mentioning that even if we do manage to die/kill, its meaning is still moot. So we might as well have a system where dying is hard. Which we do.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's so hard to die!

    Maybe it's hard to die, but how hard is it to kill you? Especially at high-level, there's several monsters with attacks that go "if you reach 0 hit points you're dead" or something similar. The real issue is "it's impossible to STAY dead!"

    Thinking of Joining Roll20? Lock In Your Sub Now!

    while we're comparing VTTs, has anyone had any experience with AboveVTT? one of my players has a DnD Beyond subscription, and this AboveVTT is just a plug-in that let's you use DDB as a VTT. I was impressed by how easy to use it was.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why are 5E Giants Huge size?

    how many Flameskulls can I use to get to 30,000 xp? not sure about the multiplier ... round one, fireball barrage!

    D&D 5E (2014) Sane Magic Item Prices

    yeah, my characters are constantly broke... I had to wait level 12 with my fighter to buy my plate armor!

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    Maybe the minority on these forums, but I'm not sure your preference is different than the one of a lot of new players. I have access to a great number of new players (West Marches campaign, mostly young players that started with 5e), and this is also their wish. In fact, sometimes as the...

    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    not trying to disprove your point, but I run a 2-year long campaign in Dark Sun using 5e, and all I had was a 6 pages conversion document https://darksun01.blogspot.com/

    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    Also in Planescape there are the Athar. They don't deny the existence of powerful creatures calling themselves "gods" but they just don't consider them "divine" (whatever that means), and they do not deserve worship. For the Athar, "gods" are just super powerful individuals, like saying that an...

    D&D General Character Classes should Mean Something in the Setting

    Do they really represent classes, though? Or do they represent the "fluff"? A Guard, a Veteran, a Gladiator, I don't think they represent the Fighter (some of them have abilities that not even fighters have, like Brave or Brute). They are a mechanical representation of what the fluff needs, at...
