    D&D General Royal Mail D&D 50th Anniversary Stamps

    They do! I have a sheet of the Warhammer ones from Royal Mail (and New Zeland's Lord of the Rings ones, too.) I'm in US (Chicago area) and shipping wasn't too bad, IIRC. I'll probably order a sheet of these and the USPS ones too. Maybe get around to framing all of them.

    What is the most evocative art you've seen in a TTRPG?

    I have, via another thread just recently! I had not beforehand. As a fan of both Valeros and Golarian Goblins, I dig it. Doesn't feel quite the same as it did at age 11 though! Honestly, I'd love to have seen a straight homage with the PF Iconics, but this is a nice "wink" in the direction of...

    What is the most evocative art you've seen in a TTRPG?

    I've said it before: Elmore's "Dragon Slayers and Proud if It" was exactly what 2e was for me. Sticking with 2e: DiTerlizzi and Planescape, Brom and Dark Sun captured and/or created the "feel" of those settings. Similarly, the color "ads" in the WEG Star Wars books really created the "flavor"...

    AD&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    You know, I basically live across the street from a bison herd preserve. I have no one to blame but myself for my disappointment in myself that I only came up with cows. We can also add aurochs, oxen, and yak! But really, that's an odd item.

    AD&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    Oh! That reminds me of mine: I'm doing this from memory, but Taladas: The Minotaurs, [I stand corrected it was] Dragonlance: Book of Lairs featured a ring that was THOUGHT to be ...of Minotaur Control but was actually ...of BOVINE Control. So, Minotaurs, Gorgons, and...Cows, I guess. Also, I...

    "I'm a [BLANK] kid!"

    One of these days I'm going to pony up for a mint Gator. I still hate that I never kept that one.

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    I'm seeing it as he's holding it over the outside of his forearm--his right thumb is facing toward the left of his body--so if he were to raise and shoot with the bow perpendicular to the ground, his arms would actually be crossed, and the arrow would be outside his wrist. ETA: I mean, NOT that...

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    Well, that's going to bother me...forever now. (I don't think my own wrist even flexes in that direction.)

    D&D 5E (2024) What do people think of the new dragon designs?

    I've always felt like the problem is that when translating metallic hues to more flat (matte?) colors in art, Gold and Brass are both yellow-ish-with-some-brown, then Bronze and Copper are both brownishyellow-ish-with-some-green, so there's blending needed...and then we end up with four that...

    D&D 5E (2024) New D&D Edition's Player’s Handbook Cover Reveal

    So, I like the new PHB Cover Art. I think the intent is it's aspirational, as it should be: "Someday, YOU and your friends can face off with immense evil (Red Dragon) with the forces of good at your back (Gold Dragon)." I respect dipping into the past with Strongheart, et al. I think that if...

    It's not out quite yet, but backers have a digital draft. Also, no suggestions for Dwarven Kingdoms of Krynn from 2E? :)

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    D&D Survivor: Whack Dragons. Oh. And "Removing Fiction In-Game." Which seems like missing the point, but ok.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Yes! The only novella I've read is "The Furthest Station" (only one my library has on shelf) and I haven't read the comics (although I've religiously crossed-referenced information on the TVTropes page). As a result, one reference to a haunted BMW seemed like a cute call-back, but plot points...
