    Are there any programs which let you create custom character sheets?

    The learning curve is not too bad and if you already have experience with Publisher, it should not be too difficult. The thing I would be sure to check on is making sure boxes snap to others, but using copy/paste to create multiple boxes of the same size helps. Tables work well too. The...

    D&D General My experience with popular D&D VTT tools

    I think Owlbear Rodeo is perfect for groups that still prefer playing paper and pencil style but have to use the internet to play because of time or distance. The two online games I am involved in still use paper character sheets.

    D&D 3.x Mike Selinker about the release of 3.0 D&D

    Me and a few members of my gaming group picked up our PHBs at Gen Con. We were so psyched and we played 3.0 (later with some 3.5 stuff thrown in) for 16 years.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    I homebrewed level drain away for HP damage that can only be restored on consecrated ground (through rest or magic) long before 5E ever came out (back in 2E days) and I still use a version of this in 5E.

    Hey when nothing current seems very interesting or valuable I start perusing older threads!

    D&D General Dragonborn In Your Game (A Poll)

    No Dragonborn in my current setting. Lizardfolk are the alternative choice (and according to some of their cultural legends they are descended from dragons). They have tails (and splayed feet) that grant them Advantage on any skill check or saving throw to keep their balance. Their claws give...

    D&D General I'm Too Sexy For This Game: Gygax, Signals, and Erudition in AD&D

    It is amazing that I definitely didn’t know what all those Latin initialized signals meant as a teen, but it didn’t matter because despite their ubiquity I somehow never noticed them. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    D&D General Disparity in PC levels from same party

    Almost my entire history at ENworld are people saying that the very things my D&D groups are doing are impossible or game-breaking in whatever edition we happen to be playing. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    When you play in person, where do you play? (Poll)

    Currently my one in-person game is played downstairs in my basement game room (I am actually in the middle of drawing up plans to redo the whole thing to make it both a better crafting space and gaming space. I have a toddler but she’s always been a great sleeper and has no problem going to...

    D&D General Disparity in PC levels from same party

    I am actually in a current 5E game where there is some times a 1 or 2 level disparity between PCs, but advancement is so blazingly fast, I have never even noticed. Heck, to be honest, I would prefer much slower advancement even if it was just my character and everyone else wanted to keep the...

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    This is actually the most astounding bit to me, because I did not remember. . . actually, since I am not sure I ever even knew that, "not remembering" is not even that accurate (we only ever played that nat 1s were an auto miss). But do remember all that other stacking specific powerful magic...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I find discord not as user friendly for reading back or posting specific threads in a clear way. Plus discord is constantly trying to push add-ons and upgrades. Annoying AF. I do use it for some specific D&D campaigns but anywhere beyond a handful of people for a very focused use make it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I think I need a smaller and more focused non-discord place to discuss D&D and other RPGs.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Whew! I nearly posted in a thread but then suddenly realized the conversation was pointless AF.

    D&D General Garys House Tour

    Not sure about the current owners but when my wife and I checked out the Goonies house in 2013 the owners were pretty generous with letting people look from the outside (there was no filming inside the actual house, if I remember correctly ) and take pix but soon after i learned the few rules...

    D&D General Dnd is a 10th level game, how's the balance?

    I made my Vanity Frankenstein 5e homebrew ruleset max out at 10th level but added in some higher level stuff to the first 10 (and cut some fat).

    D&D General How many healing potions do you give your party?

    I voted Rare. But the real answer is however many they can get off opponents they’ve defeated before they were used.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Here is my recent pizza story, I keep seeing video memes (perhaps you have seen it too) that claims that "in Pittsburgh" pizza is cooked with just the dough and sauce and then the cheese and topping are added cold afterward, slightly melting (but barely). To be honest it looks gross and I have...
