    D&D General "Minor" Item, Major Benefit

    I just handed out a Robe of Useful Items to my level 5 party. I expect to get REALLY annoyed by that thing from time to time!

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I think it’s often a bit easy to overlook given it’s isolated in the relative backwater of the TTRPGs General forum. If it got a bit more promotion in the d&d forum where all the traffic is, more people might know about it.

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    Thanks @bedir than - it was a very close-run thing in the end, a lot of the ingredient decisions were by very small margins and it could have gone either way. And I really liked your choice of a post-apocalyptic setting to reconcile the time period discrepancies in the ingredients between open...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    Posted. Apologies for the delay. Life stuff happened, and it obviously got to me mentally because I spent hours in the small hours of the night yesterday swearing at the miserable impossible ingredients and failing to make them fit in a Cthulhu adventure, a steampunk kung fu Western adventure...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    Advance warning. I have had life events happen today which have largely prevented me from being able to work on what I was already finding to be a frustrating and difficult set of ingredients. I will miss the one day deadline. I will instead submit a <525 word entry, within 48 hours of the...

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    It’s a long weekend here, so I’m ok to go pretty much any time in the next three days.

    Critical Role Releases New Campaign 4 Trailer

    Everyone I know who manages to keep up with the actual CR gaming streams listens to them at work, or in extreme cases watches them on a spare screen while working from home. Four hours a week is a pretty serious time investment unless you manage to multitask (which I can't).

    D&D General Disaster Patrons and Their Longsuffering Warlocks

    I’d be looking to Pirates of the Caribbean there. Davy Jones seems an obvious one.

    [raises hand] I'd definitely be interested in competing.

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    Oh god, this sort of thing SO MUCH. I hate it when I see an RPG Kickstarter with a long list of badges, bookmarks, miniatures, dice bags an other tchotchkes. It just stone cold guarantees that something will go wrong with some random obscure and unnecessary component that only 1% of backers...

    D&D General The rapier in D&D

    I have mixed feelings about this. Rapiers are Far Too Good in 5e, definitely, and they make dex-only melee builds too viable and Strength redundant in too many places (and ensure that too many other weapons never get a look in). Dex gets you a good AC, good ranged attacks with the better...

    D&D General The rapier in D&D

    Presumably you're poking around trying to find an artery not too deep under the scales somewhere? A tiny little exacto knife in the wrong place can leave a human in serious trouble, presumably the same principle applies to dragons?

    D&D General Disaster Patrons and Their Longsuffering Warlocks

    I hate this post, because I finished writing the background of my new warlock pc and sent it to my DM literally yesterday and now it’s too late to go back and incorporate this idea. Though the mind boggles thinking about what a disaster dao patron would look like. Stubborn autistic-coded grump...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    It’s a setting book and rules supplement only. There a couple of adventures available for the setting, but no level 1 to 10+ campaign in the style of Curse of Strahd or the other modern WotC 5e campaign books.

    D&D General Simple Rules for a Dark Sun Game

    Given the massively increased viability of Dex-based martial characters in recent editions, if you’re having heat penalties for armour in your DS game one unintended side effect is that you end up with all your martial PCs being willowy agile types rather than the muscular brawlers from Brom art...
