    D&D General Some Interesting Stats About D&D Players!

    Most women and non-binary D&D players I know, including me, had bad experiences at gaming stores and events. Don't get me wrong, the bad experiences I had didn't push me away from the hobby or the gaming stores, but it took some tries until I find what places are welcoming and what are...

    Why do nerds love East Asia so much?

    I'm not sure about TTRPGs, but Korea has a huge presence in MMORPG market, like Ragnarok Online I used to play and newer stuff I'm sure people younger than me are playing. And hate or love it, MMORPGs do affect how people plays and design TTRPGs, hence why terms like "tank" are used by some when...

    Why do nerds love East Asia so much?

    It depends, and I think it's hard to pinpoint a single reason. What I can say about my personal experience as a nerd who likes East Asian nerd stuff, it was definitely video-games. At the 90s all the major consoles were Japanese. My first contact with RPG concepts was through Japanese games like...

    D&D 5E (2024) How quickly should WOTC add new classes?

    I wouldn't go too far, myself, but I agree with the sentiment. If I would make some cuts I would still leave the wizard and the warlock untouched, because I think they are different enough both in gameplay and in concept to be different classes. If I had to change something, would be further the...

    D&D 5E (2024) How quickly should WOTC add new classes?

    I'm also on trim side. D&D have one or two too many classes, and the worst offender is the sorcerer. It's just wizard but worst, and WotC is struggling to find a niche to the sorcerer since they dropped strict Vancian casting. I add that limiting the number of classes improves the "mood" of the...

    D&D Movie/TV “Honor Among Thieves” Now Available for Purchase (iTunes + Amazon Prime)

    And if he is indeed Elmister (which I'm almost sure since he uses Elmister's sigil as his belt buckle), we move on the next question: is Elmister dead?

    D&D 5E (2024) Rest Variants (DMG pg. 267)

    I like to use Slow Healing EpiDefault: a short rest is 10 minutes, a long rest is 8 hours, restoring HP in a long rest requires to roll hit dice. Currently a long rest restore all hit dice in my system (you restore your HP, then you regain all hit dice), but with some playtest I'm considering...

    Your Pizza Order

    Ordered an "all'amatriciana" pizza yesterday: tomato sauce, pancetta, red onion, tomato confit, basil and grated grana padano cheese. If it had garlic it would be my new favourite pizza

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Point buy if we're playing 5e campaigns, 4d6 drop lowest if playing 5e one shots, 3d6 down the line if we're playing B/X.

    Alchemy VTT kickstarter over 200,000 in first few hours.

    I wish it had 5e or OSE as options, I would back it instantly. Edit: It has a system agnostic option. Backed!

    D&D 5E (2014) When Did 5E Peak Quality Wise?

    I think Tasha's the peak, followed by a fast decline.

    D&D General Ben Riggs on how to make D&D a $1 billion brand

    This line of thinking can savage some of the worst books. Descent into Avernus, for example, is really bad as an adventure, but have a lot of amazing stuff that can be used to play a homebrew adventure. I played for months using the Baldur's Gate Gazetteer alone, it's on point on information...
