    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    I looked up LOS not knowing what it was and only found Line of Scrimmage and German slang for Let's Go or Move. Neither made sense, then I finally thought of Line of Sight.

    D&D General Campaign Idea: Building the Palace of Versailles - what would you do?

    To me it sounds fun as the backdrop of the campaign. Maybe we start off guarding the royal surveying crew looking for the lost ruins of X to build upon. Finding out later that the old X location was tied to summoning demons or being able to boost magic or something cool or sinister. Then we...

    What is a West Marches game?

    It might be fun to have an online group with the map and then break out to my home group for the individual adventures. Mayb if I was in touch with players from the 80s and 90s who had groups of their own and we could communicate online and expand a shared world but keep home play.

    Call of Cthulhu: best 'scary' one shot?

    Anything with politics. You choose which side. Anything with children that crawl around like spiders.

    D&D General Good background

    You cannot go wrong with criminal or urchin background for a rogue. It feeds the class with a few good options and allows you to pick some other things since the background gives it to you. The other thought is to go with something that fits your idea of the PC. Maybe the PC grew up in a...

    D&D 5E (2024) What books would you like to see (in 2026 and beyond)?

    Might be able to use a updated book with all the non-core spells and magic items that came out over the last 10 years. An adventure for Phandalin showing an updated town after 10 years.

    D&D Heroclix Iconics

    I have a few things like this that get placed on a large base and now I have a Alpha Beast or something. They get used less though and often pinch-hit for other large animals like a rhino or even ankheg.

    Imagine trying to teach my kids the easy way of leaving a 12% tip. And this little piggy- went the way of the dinosaur.

    Why is that murderous human taking away that poor, defenseless, orc's spear.

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    Video games seems to spill over into table-top games. People get bored with video games faster and then want to try other things out and new/younger players want more options for their PC. Combine this with new designers who grew up with this video game play wanting to make more options for...

    Other D&D Variant Simple 1D6 D&D variant created with ChatGPT

    Looks ok, and easy to learn which is a plus. I see under Hero Point that you can only use 1 per adventure but Humans get 2. Not sure if you get a HP per day or per adventure and this means that humans can use the 2, but on different days of the same adventure?

    D&D General The Great Railroad Thread

    I'm not sure if you missed my meaning of the earlier text before the part of DM and players need to meet halfway. The DM should not just say to the players that the next adventure has you traveling to the town of X and going into the sewers if the players say that they want to go to the swamps...

    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    One of the things I did when making pregens for the D&D game I ran was to use names that could be both male and female and then I had portrait cards with one of each. Also go wild with the names to make them memorable. I recall Ember the fire mage was one of them. I was making a 5.5e D&D...
