    D&D General How do devils actually get to the world from hell?

    Yes. I was gonna say "However you want them to." But for my own current games, devils either need to use portals that are activated from the the prime material plane side or straight up ritualistically summoned, but the more powerful types can communicate with mortals through mirrors and pools...

    D&D 5E (2024) Weird Potion House Rule Idea

    Give out more potions that serve a utility function or last longer if used out of combat (the adrenaline and fast movement of combat processes them through your body faster). For example I am not likely to use a potion of climbing during combat but to get up to somewhere we need to...

    Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head

    If I were the optimistic type I'd say that this might mean that Wizards will do a better job of coordinating different aspects of the brand in order to capitalize on potential synergies (16 years since I worked in the corporate world and I still got the lingo down ;) ), so for example, a starter...

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    While I didn’t do a spread, I had players declare how many cards they planned to draw (0 to 3) and then I laid out that number face down before them like this: Player Declares then cuts the cards. Let’s say they declare 3. I lay out 1 and then put one aside “for the god of luck,” lay out...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    So basically back to what Snarf originally described. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    When/If I get a chance tonight I’ll share my opinions. But after using someone else’s deck as a reward the PCs were given a clue as to the location of another deck they might use to mitigate the negative effects of their first go round (or risk even worse results).

    D&D General Splitting the Deck of Many More Things up

    I am out and about right now so can’t find the link but I did recently post about a version of the deck I made/used for one of my current games. My advice it to just decide on a number (like 22) and then just pick and choose what makes most sense for your game/setting/scenario/characters

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I just want to state for the record that I would very happily try games run by either @hawkeyefan or @Maxperson

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Just seeing an image of the Banana Splits starts to make me feel nauseated like I just realized someone had clandestinely dosed me with acid. I'm not kidding. They always gave me an oogy feeling as a kid - and on to today.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Middle School?! I had to have those memorized by 5th grade! It really is worth knowing, though. I credit playing D&D since I was 11 with my ability to do quick math in my head.

    Reaction Emojis currently limited to Thumbs Up?

    This explains why I struggled to use the laughing emoji as a response to Morrus's Bond opinion. ;):LOL:

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    Roger Moore. Bond is such an absurd and wacky concept that anyone who plays it straight fails and his approach seems to fit best. The Daniel Craig ones are the worst.

    If that is your way of saying that thread is cursed. Then yeah, 💯

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There are so many things I want to respond to in that thread, most of which are references to variations of the Kruger-Dunning Effect regarding evaluating your own play style and processes. But I won't.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I keep going back to that thread when I know I really shouldn’t. But the rest of the forum seems kinda slow lately.

    Brevity in writing has never been my strong suit. You should see how much I cut from my overviews! 🥵

    TSR Who or What am I? Dragon 94 Cover by Clyde Caldwell

    That makes sense to me, same in Pittsburgh. . . your body needs. . . well, at least my body needs, to acclimate to the cold each year.

    Magazines Dragon Reflections #94

    My pleasure! I kind of fell off working on this series (the last one I did was Dragon #112, and #113 is in-progress) but there are other issues I covered on my blog, so be sure to dig in, if that is what you're into. I am only covering the issues I actually own in print having purchased them at...
