    D&D General Forgotten Realms - why do you still like running games here? +

    I dont use FR per se, but its so expansive that I will refer back to its Lore and use its locations, factions and characters and set pieces as inspiration for my own games

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    Dragon # 65 Where are the missing dragons 1982 :) Anyway I've just been reading up on the Laidly Wyrm of Spindlestone Heughs and got to thinking that having dragons as species was probably a mistake from the start. The powerful True Dragons should really be unique entities on the level of...

    D&D General Monster Importance in Homebrews?

    Entirely depends on theme - for instance if I'm doing a Haunted England setting then obviously the monster palette matters and the encounter sites get built around them, if the setting is more generic then the locations and relationships get built first and the monsters plugged in later as added...

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    I'd say Golarion is Modernized Greyhawk (low magic grit) with FR uber-kitchen sink style (and a dash of pulp horror) Nothing, its a spiritual successor to 3.5 Living Greyhawk by design

    D&D General Kitchen sink setting or narrow genre focus for long-running campaigns (2,5,10+ years)

    I like the middle ground and think that in most cases groups and certainly DMs fall back into what theyre comfortable with anyway, so even if it is a kitchensink the DM and players will make it more specific to their taste and keep it from losing cohesiveness and becoming a meaningless...

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    its because they are trying to capture entirely different traditions. On one hand the original gnome is the Paracelsian elemental - tiny, secretive, subterranean creatures associated with gemstones. This type feature as the Nomes of Narnia and lead to the original Blackmoor gnomes and later...

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    Genasi/Aasimar tend to blend into each other whereas Goliath pick up the elemental traits for variety, they have the largeness making them distinct from humans plus all the deep lore of Giants - both DnD and IRL.

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    depending on the age of the carcass I can do that in the real world with just a few minutes of examination. One of my big issues with DnD is when things that should just be skills get turned into spells. Even the idea of communing with spirits while fantastic is still mundane in a world were...

    D&D General What spells should be on the rangers list?

    So for the sake of debate - what is the Ranger fantasy as you would define it? for me "Skilled Hunter and Guide thriving on the borders between civilisation and wilderness" and personally, I dont see anything in that ranger fantasy that requires it cast spells - it does need a better...

    D&D General Dragonborn as Kobolds: Yea or Nay?

    A Radiant Citadel Model for a new Asia setting would be awesome to see. Perhaps The Court of Ten Thousand Realms that sit at the nexus of the Dragon Paths where spirits, gods, outsiders, dragons and mortal envoys gather to forge alliances, settle disputes, celebrate victories and share their...

    D&D General Dragonborn as Kobolds: Yea or Nay?

    people try to push that but Shifters face the same issues as Arrdlings - they are a lack of commitment. Ardlings dont satisfy people who want Furry races and they dont satisfy people who want Aasimars. Equally Shifters arent Furrys and arent really Lycanthropes, theyre a compromise. heneyokai...

    D&D General Homebrew or Premade Campaigns?

    Homebrew is my favourite part of the hobby, watching different ideas grow and develop through play. I do take premade stuff and adapt it to fit my worlds but even those are largely inspired by rather than raw
