    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Some people really seem to believe that requiring buy-in for an RPG or campaign conceit is some kind of design flaw.

    D&D General An Atlantean Empire who are it's people and what are their capabilities?

    Maybe the rulership is a Triumverate? Like a merfolk, a sea elf, and a koalinth. Or different representations after each seat's individual succession war.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    I think the degree to which alignment has a mechanical aspect should depend on the setting not the generic edition ruleset. I happen to like some mechanical heft to alignment, so I reintroduced it on the Law/Chaos axis in my Vanity Frankenstein 5E homebrew project, borrowing my take from the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    I know nobody asked me, but I think the Book of Many Things would have been more helpful to me if: It actually included the base rules for the item and the effects of each card as printed in the DMG to avoid having to reference both books at once. It provided 4 or so options or variants for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    :oops: I'm glad that worked out for you but it makes me even sadder that some of the replacement cards it took them nearly 4 months to send me, while were not warped out of the box, are now just about a year later, warped enough to affect shuffling and laying in a clean pile. :(

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    This thread is making me realize that I need to give this book more of a chance. I think just the disappointment of not finding what I expected and finding it hard to navigate made me too easily dismiss some of the cool ideas within.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is no one talking about THE BOOK OF MANY THINGS?

    I just recently used it in prepping an adventure and decided I was disappointed in it. Not because it is necessarily bad (though I had to get replacement cards from WotC and the new cards eventually warped too) but because it was not what I wanted it to be and seemed to be missing some basic...

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    In my "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign, resurrection magic was severely restricted and came with consequences, so when a beloved member of the party was killed and the party found a magical item that could raise him, the party decided to do so even though they did not know the cost for each of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You said it. I didn’t. I literally said the opposite.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    C’mon man. I know your reading comprehension is better than that.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I didn’t say the posters are immature. I said the desire is. People are more than one thing (thankfully for them).

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    It’s cute that you think that would make a difference. But anyway, it is not like I was complaining about just this thread or only threads I have posted, and while Matt Colville videos are the perfect example of this happening, it is not limited to them, but just tired of the fairly immature...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    It would be nice if a Matt Colville video could be shared even once on here without it becoming about how people don’t like him or his delivery, and focusing on the topic instead, which plenty of people also do, it is just that it seem pointless that the same people always come in to say how...

    D&D 5E (2024) Non-Human Party - Campaign help!

    There is an old Dungeon Mag adventure called “The Wayward Wood” about a forest that is literally marching out of its usual spot. Part of the way I incorporated it into the campaign at the time was that the place the forest was headed was a swamp. The PCs had a circle of the land Druid among...

    D&D 5E (2014) The books I used for 5E game prep this week (in pictures) [+]

    This thread has a very simple premise. I will be posting pics of the books I consulted for the upcoming session(s) for either of my D&D 5E games. We only play each of these games every 3 to 5 weeks and I tend to prep enough for 2 to 3 sessions at a time, so this thread won't necessarily be...
