    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    I had no idea about these connections but that's really cool! Thanks for sharing it.

    Star Trek and Idealism vs cynicism

    I think the only way to make a Section 31 show work would be to make sure they're still villainous, and have the main character be a double agent who is trying to bring it down. They would slowly convert others by reminding them of the optimism and hope of the Federation until they finally mount...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lycanthrope Player Characters - How Would YOU Do It?

    I would definitely just modify a class. Barbarian would probably be my go-to, with the character transforming into a werewolf form when they rage.

    D&D General Are You There D&D? It's Me, J.R.R. Tol-KEEEEN!

    You can tell most posters didn't read Snarf's entire post before commenting.

    D&D General Are You There D&D? It's Me, J.R.R. Tol-KEEEEN!

    This is the first time I've been able to read an entire Snarf post in one sitting!

    Watching films at the cinema - also, RIP David Lynch.

    With a 3 year old at home, going to the movies has become a real treat for my wife and I. We probably go every 3 months or so when we can get a babysitter or when we are visiting our parents. It does feel different, especially if you can catch the movie in a big crowd that's buying into it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Having lived in and driven around California, there are definitely parts that feel in the middle of nowhere. I lived in Visalia, a city in the Central Valley, for a bit and once I was driving someone about an hour to Kettleman City, a small town that's mostly a big truck stop. When we got onto...

    Planning a 3-Night RPG (and hiking) getaway (recommendations needed!)

    We are one month away and I am very excited! Right now we have 8 folks for the first night, 6 for the second, and 3 for the third. I think this is going to be a real success.

    D&D 5E (2024) How Important Is The Lore

    I feel much more inspired when the lore gives me options instead of dictates on singular truth. For example, I would like it if the Troll entry in the MM presented a few ways for a DM to include them in a campaign: as solitary lurkers in the dark, more legend than anything; as a unified kingdom...

    D&D General [ART THREAD]Your Personal Favorite D&D Art For a Monster

    I always liked the 3rd Edition Blink Dog over later ones. 4e and 5e have very aggressive illustrations. 3e is so chill, a dog I'd really like to spend time with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building A Campaign Around The BBEG

    When thinking about who your BBEG should be, there's something I read about in an article once that I've always wanted to try. You make a list of enemy types you really want to include in a campaign. Here's mine: Medusa Green Dragon Hill Giant Archmage Lizardfolk Minotaur Then you assign each...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building A Campaign Around The BBEG

    I have a lot of thoughts about this, so I'm going to break it up into three posts. First off, I ran a pretty successful BBEG-centered campaign loosely based on Curse of Strahd. I'm pretty terrible at running prepublished adventures or campaigns, so after the Death House I wound up just taking...

    D&D General (silly thread) What alignment is your furniture?

    I don't think Feng Shui had alignment. But it did make for great action scenes!

    D&D General (silly thread) What alignment is your furniture?

    I have no idea why this came up in my mind, but last night I started assignment my furniture alignments. What are the alignments of three pieces of furniture you have, and why? (PS: anyone who says Neutral, Neutral, Neutral will have to face my Chaotic Evil toaster.) Refrigerator - Lawful Good...

    D&D General what would a standard human pantheon look like?

    A default human pantheon would be based on things humans cannot control. As we try to figure out why and how the world works, we create supernatural forces to explain mysteries. Weather, diseases, birth, animals, tides, emotions... These are all things that are difficult for humans to explain...
