It's fine because it's colorful and pleasing to the eye. When I first saw it my reaction was "Oh neat." I don't have any context of how it's being used, so I can't really judge it for not being a detailed map. If this is the only map they're using for the Planes then, yes, it's too barebones and...

So just to be clear, this is from a "blink and you'll miss it" screen grab from the video about barbarians, right? So we don't really know how it's being used, whether it's a tiny little icon, if there's a larger, more detailed map, etc etc etc. I'm reading a lot of hot takes based on very...

There are 5 differences hidden between these two pictures... Can you find them all?

Put Jack Black in the lead role and make it a rock musical!

I think that's a really fun idea! I could see Chromatic Dragon scales being used as currency either by "enemy" nations, or maybe a kind of magic black market? You can buy most things with gold / silver / copper coins, but magic weapons can only be bought with red dragon scales, wands and staves...

In my mind I called it "Revised 5e," since that matches my understanding of it pretty well. If I was deciding on a rule system with my group, I'd probably say something like "Let's use the revised fifth edition rules."

Yeah, that's my feeling as well. Although it would be fun to incorporate some Story Now elements into fights, maybe through moves that can reveal advantages (with the risk of adding complications).

Because Dungeon World already exists and it's fun to think of new ways to hack 5e.

Last year I played a lot of Ironsworn, and it made me fall in love with Story Now games. I did some solo Ironsworn games, then ran some for my friends. The experience of being a GM but not actually knowing where the story was going to go was thrilling! For fun, I'd like to brainstorm some ways...

This is a very appropriate post for a thread necromancy! (photo credit: M.Y. SITI-MUNIRAH, science news.com) Fairy Lantern Flowers are parasitic plants that spend decades underground, feeding off of the roots of other plants. They lack the ability to photosynthesize, but still require...

This next year I'm thinking of running a 5e D&D game online. For the first time, I'm planning on running a game for strangers instead of my friends. The reason for this is that my friends I used to play with (for 20 years) are now in different time zones and busy with their lives. My own life...

It's true that not all cucumbers are apeeling for picklers, but I truly relish the ones that are.

What's the big dill?

This is the day that CleverNickName finally realizes he's been AI all along.

To me, the risk of being caught isn't the reason to not steal something. Supporting human community is a bigger contributing factor. If I am trying to publish an RPG and I pay for art from artists, I'm supporting my community. If I publish an RPG and I use an AI program that uses an unpaid...

If you pay for an apple at the store or steal it, you wind up with an apple either way. Would you say there's no difference there? In my view the difference between paying for a piece of art and having a free AI program make the art is that in one case you are giving money to a human being who...

Monster Manual is my favorite. I like the composition and all the fun monsters to look at! Player's Handbook is number two. I enjoy the bright colors and the dragon designs. Dungeon Master's Guide is definitely number three. It's a little too gray, I have no emotional connection to the D&D...

This is my answer too. There were so many good ideas, it could be turned into a really fantastic tactical RPG.

I'm a Millennial in the older range (turning 38 this month), so thinking of this from my own experiences... In the Realm of the Millennials, the characters set out to find fortune or do good in a world on the brink of disaster. Generations of powerful wizards have drained the world of its...
