    D&D General Does Earth (or at least a fantasy version of it) have a crystal sphere and exist in the D&D Cosmology?

    Of course it does, how else could Elminster and Raistlin and Mordenkainen visited Ed Greenwood in his house and shared stories with him? If we can't trust Ed, then that way lies Madness!

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    I just want to see some D&D characters who are actually wearing their backpacks....

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] How do you make 5E more challenging?

    Long Rests do not restore hit points. Long rests only restore (half of, as usual) their Hit Dice. Then players must spend those hit dice to heal, just as with a Short Rest. Then the players decide if they want to go adventuring while lower on hit points and hit dice, or wait and take another...

    Board Game Arkham Horror Getting an RPG from Edge Studio

    No, it is an RPG based on a boardgame based on a boardgame based on an RPG based on a series of short stories....

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    Just because they're evil it does not mean that the players are going to have to fight them. Some bad guys might well want to stop Vecna's plan. I could easily see Stradh and Lord Soth being among that group. Players being players, and villains being proud, it might not happen, but let's hope...

    What TTRPGs have the best tactical combat rules?

    Hi, I did read that and it was unclear to me. You said that you wanted tactical choices to matter but you did not say how much time you were willing to spend to get that nor what levels of detail would be too much for you. Do you want a game like "Fringeworthy" where shot location has to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Rangers should have monster fighting spells equivalent to Paladin's Smite spells. Discuss!

    What if we added "True Strike" to the Ranger spell list and we made it a bonus action when they are in their favored terrain? This would make the Ranger be more likely to hit and more likely to crit, thus upping their average damage, without raising their maximum damage. It has only Somatic...

    Campaigns inspired by songs

    "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" is an even better example, it is just that most people forget about Wraith.

    Campaigns inspired by songs

    Back in the day my theory was that all World of Darkness Campaigns could be inspired by Waren Zevon songs....

    What TTRPGs have the best tactical combat rules?

    "Best" is subjective as "most accurate" is competing with "fun" and "comprehensible" and "quick playing". I find your question unanswerable until I know more about what you meant.

    So, what is your Favorite "Villain" race these days?

    Hey! He never murdered anyone so he could eat them. They were already dead. When you're from a TL 7 airless world it just makes sense not to waste resources.

    So, what is your Favorite "Villain" race these days?

    The rest were all animals or machines, at least as far as I know.

    What if you threw a baseball at nearly light speed?

    It would be outside the strike zone, since it would have had much less time for gravity to pull it down.

    So, what is your Favorite "Villain" race these days?

    Humans. Almost everyone who has ever been mean to me has been human, so it just makes sense.

    D&D General No, Hasbro Is Not Selling D&D

    But you still remember it, right?....

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you award XP and how often?

    At the end of every long rest. You need to sleep or trance to level up.... [Be quiet, Warforged!]

    D&D 5E (2014) Are some Fighting Styles worthless, and how could they be fixed?

    They're not "worthless" but they are "worth less".

    D&D 5E (2014) How about 5d20?

    I would expect a system described as "5d20" to be one that uses 5d20 mechanically, much as GURPS could be described as a 3d6 system and (most versions of) Traveller could be described as 2d6 systems.

    D&D General When did Kickstarters become a bad deal

    They because a bad deal when they started charging shipping separately and later. (I understand why they had to do this, and that they should have done it that way all along.) If I have no way to know what the final cost of something will be I have no way to determine if my net present hedonic...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Campaign "Houserule" Idea - Armor Proficiency is based on the armor "donner" not wearer.

    Make it an Aura, like a Paladin's aura. "Radius of Armor Protection" - Requires Heavy Armor Proficiency. "While wearing Heavy Armor you may give any unarmored ally within 30' a +3 to AC, any lightly armored ally within 30' a +2 to AC, and any ally within 30' in medium armor a +1 to AC." This...
