My dragonborn origin myth is a lot simpler. In my campaign, the first dragonborn were created when a large group of Tiamat's cultists tried to steal her magic and transform themselves into dragons, and she cursed them for their insolence.

A few years ago, one of my players wanted to play a dragonborn. He wanted it to have a bite attack, and a tail attack, and two claws, and rake with its back legs, and of course the signature breath weapon. "Sure," I said. "Now, you can still only make one off-hand attack as a bonus action...

My least-favorite posts are the ones along the lines of "I'm never wrong, you just misunderstood me" and "if I repeat something enough times it will become true." Like, how do you even approach a topic from that angle? Why would you even try?

Poll: Here's My Hot Take About Something You Probably Never Noticed Until Today (Vote for all that apply) I absolutely agree, and I would like to fight about it. I absolutely disagree, and I would like to fight about it. I neither agree nor disagree, but I still would like to fight about it. I...

From what I can tell, folks who are opposed to this idea fall into two camps. One camp rejects it for practical or simulationist reasons: it's a fire hazard, it's not very reliable, your own body will block half the light, etc. Lanterns on the belt are a bad idea because you'd burn yourself...

It doesn't even need to be more expensive. A fire beetle in a jar might cost the same as a regular lantern.

I'm not opposed to a character having any hands-free light sources, just not lanterns. A burning object that close to one's clothing and skin sounds like a bad idea to me. But I'm not gonna be a hardass about it. If a player at my table reeeeally wanted to wear a lantern on their hip, and I...

Yep. I play D&D every weekend, but I haven't watched a Star Wars movie/series since 2019.

I use a custom-built gaming PC, running Windows 11. My TV is connected via the HDMI port of the video card.

I would aggressively engage with both, in ALL CAPS, and get myself so worked up and angry over Nothing Important that I loudly embarrass myself in front of the whole forum. Then I would double down repeatedly until the mods intervene, my blood pressure spikes, and I ruin my pants. Like you're...

Her: "Hello there, thanks for coming!" Me: "Hi there!" (noticing the Kid Rock t-shirt) My face, probably:

I should clarify--it wasn't because of her awful taste in music (and men); it was just abundantly clear that we didn't have much in common. After dinner we were both like "Welp, that was interesting, see you around" and left it at that. Happened all the time in my 20s. I thought the story of...

I don't disagree with what you said about making a simpler version of D&D. But D&D has been fully mainstream for years. Blockbuster movies, award-winning video games, dozens of celebrity endorsements and streaming channels...heck, it even made the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. If...

Back in the early 2000s, before I met my spouse, I went out on a date with the cute new girl at the office. We met at a restaurant, and she wore a Kid Rock t-shirt. I asked about it, she said "oh yeah, I'm a big fan, his music is so great, you know I actually met him backstage after a concert...

Agreed, having James on board is a very good sign. (That said: not all dichotomies are false. I can be cautiously optimistic.)

Ah geez...I don't know whether to be excited or dubious.

Alas, they aren't. That's just the box art from the Lorwyn boxed set, some sloppy MS Paint, and my own wishful thinking.

I'm a simple moogle. I enjoyed Innistrad, I enjoyed Theros, I enjoyed Ixalan, Amonkhet, and Strixhaven...now I would love to see: Even if it's just another little free Plane Shift .pdf, I wouldn't complain.

Agreed, they are in an entirely different clade. Humanoids |_ Insectra |_ Mammalian | |_ Bovidae | |_ Canid | | |_ Kobold (1E, 2E) | |_ Feline | |_ Hominid |_ Reptilia |_ Draconic | |_ Dragonborn | |_ Kobold...
