    D&D General Map Making Tools

    I used Wonderdraft a lot for some of my larger regional or world maps. Currently, I use inkarnate for like... encounter or interior maps. I'd be interested in how these fair at interior map making, the article mostly looks like these are just a similar exterior scene.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie should follow the Deadpool model

    I liked Seventh Son. So fine by me if it is similar to that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everything We Know About The Ravenloft Book

    No clue who she is and why it should matter that we have one over the other. Or really what half of this stuff was, so I am guessing the reimagining is to freshen up some problematic areas they had seen when working the domains over. I can't believe I am saying this, as I personally got so...

    Mars Rover Perseverance Landing... and continuing...

    You said rover. Viking 1 was not a rover. Otherwise I would have cited the first lander which was in 1971, even though it only transmitted for like 20 seconds.

    Mars Rover Perseverance Landing... and continuing...

    23 Years. So about half as long as your guess. And Mar's is a whole planet. Can you imaging trying to explore a whole planet with a rover like these in that time? There is understandably more stuff to see or explore, especially as our technology improves. I believe this lander has a bit more...

    D&D Movie/TV Bridgerton Star Regé-Jean Page Joins D&D Movie

    Yes, but are those all well established franchises that can power threw covering up famous faces. I mean look at the two you cited right off the bat. They are going to make money regardless. A movie positioned like D&D with a rough history already kind of needs every advantage they can get...

    D&D General Old School DND talks if DND is racist.

    My two copper, killing a thing can be overcoming a challenge. Just if killing is the only way that you can gain XP, then many of your challenges are going to be things to kill. This IMO can become pretty boring after a decade of playing just that way. Plus, if all of your challenges are just...

    D&D Movie/TV Bridgerton Star Regé-Jean Page Joins D&D Movie

    Chris Pine as a Dragonborn. BAM! Okay... no. Probably not. Not likely to hide such a known actor behind makeup in a film that needs to do well. It is fun to think about, and he could probably pull it off.

    D&D 5E (2014) NPC Allies?

    If by Ally this means an NPC the party calls a friend, and can rely on if the chips are down? Then yes. I think it is totally acceptable to have an NPC that is friendly to the group in a campaign. How involved or important they are depends on the campaign/story, and the level with which the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    The reply was generated before seeing the change in the OP's status in the thread. But regardless. I am not sure the explanation would have been illuminating.

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    Whoa! How did you get to act? No hostile act was taken against you. You aren't in combat. You don't roll initiative.

    Fake scenario I made up on the fly?

    D&D 5E (2014) 20th level Sorcerer vs the world

    You could have a pretty cool spell list if half of this wasn't wasted trying to achieve this weird stealth fetish you have. Not to mention the wasted flesh to stone and skill empowerment. Though I guess that last one has its uses. Just typically you have someone else to rely on and don't need to...

    Wow you guys are really feeding the troll.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to run a successful "poisoned NPC" scene in 5e?

    I had a feeling you would say that. It just seems like such a "Why didn't I think of that" idea. Well thanks.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to run a successful "poisoned NPC" scene in 5e?

    I am interesting in how you introduced this houserule to your group. Or if you didn't do the introduction, how it was done?

    D&D General Tell Me About Your Dungeon Centric Campaigns

    That is fair. (and sorry for the double-post here sorta) In that case, if you still wanted to do milestones, you could key it off the amount of encounters the players accomplish or as I have done, when it just feels right. Either the passage of time, or after accomplishing something great or...

    D&D General Tell Me About Your Dungeon Centric Campaigns

    In my experience, at least from playing in like campaigns. Planned out, 'makes sense' dungeons are superior to just rolling randomly what the players will face. This means you dungeons that have things because magic. While the Crazy Wizard dungeon is sometimes cool that can get old. Or may just...

    Best RL Pantheon?

    I really like Egyptian. Loved Stargate when I saw it in the theaters, basically saw it by happenstance, mostly because the movie I had wanted to watch had already started. However, Norse is probably my go to. If I were to use a real world Pantheon, that is the one I would choose.

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Makes me almost feel bad to say that I got my first shot of Pfizer last week. I was very lucky in that respect. No real ill effects like fatigue. Arm hurt a bit after but that is pretty normal. Both my parents have gotten their first shots (both over 65, and one with other health concerns in...
