They look like the same socks I picked up at Target a year or so back.

You’ll please forgive me if I choose NOT to waste my time watch what is clearly a clickbait video… from someone who didn’t even notice that the third season is actually named “Bell’s Hells” (not the other way around). A creator who can’t be bothered to get basic facts straight should probably...

I started playing in 1982, with the B/X box sets and then AD&D. I found some other players at school, and we played 1E for several years. Occasionally, we’d also try out other systems—Marvel Super Heroes, Traveler, Champions, and such. But D&D was our go-to. By senior year (1986-87), we were...

Wait… you READ the DMG?!?! Is that… even ALLOWED?

Also, a mud/quicksand pit that takes the form of mashed potatoes.

I joined a Roll20 group that was already re-rolling initiative each round. As others have noted, it can have funky effects on abilities that have durations linked to the start/end of your next turn. In practice, though, they didn’t come up very often. It did take some extra time to roll and...

The character creation rules will also tell you what real-world accent your PC speaks with. All Elves are laconic New Englanders. Dwarves are from Liverpool, Halflings from Minnesota…

Yeah. I mean… image that WOTC/Hasbro had an IP that featured a half-dozen characters, representing typical fantasy archetypes, and could create animated stories about their adventures. I bet they’d try to feature them in game products and little digital freebies, to raise their profile, in the...

I’d have the damage reduction scale more as the character levels up. CreamCloud above has it scaling with Proficiency Bonus, and that would work. My solution would be to have it scale at the same pace cantrip damage does. So: 1d10 at level 1, 2d10 at level 5, 3d10 at level 11, 4d10 at level 17.

[ My mother was a voice teacher before retiring (ie: she trained opera singers), and I’ve taken voice lessons at various times. So I can assure you that singers train and practice exactly the same way that instrumentalists do. How you apply that in your game is, of course, up to you.

As the title suggests, I’m curious how you keep tabs on your library of RPG rulebooks, adventures, supplements, splats, etc. After 5E brought me back to rpgs, I began collecting and re-collecting older games I had back in the 1980s—Champions, GURPS, WEG Star Wars, Traveller… Also, thanks to a...

As my 7-year Duolingo streak can attest, I am a big fan of languages—and that carries over into my D&D games as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve taken the Linguist feat on at least half of my characters, because sometimes it’s just fun to be the one guy in the party who just happens to speak...

Only seven people will actually read it. … which is still seven more than read the 2014 DMG.

Sadly, those of us who discovered D&D during the 80s boom years are distressingly close to demanding large-print editions of the rulebooks…
