    D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books

    Maybe someone else mentioned it but there is at least one 3PP product that provides CR 1 to 20 NPCs of every class. This may not be the WotC support some people want but by allowing for 3PP products and setting up the DMguild they essentially are. I don’t need NPCs and PCs to be built...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Considering an experiment where I block every user who currently has a thread on the first page of the D&D forum, just to see what shows up and how old the threads on the first page would be. Edit: Of course that'd mean blocking some of my favorite posters, so I am loathe to do it.

    D&D General My experience with popular D&D VTT tools

    Must be some kind of free add-on because I use an OBR die roller. 🤷🏽‍♂️

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

    Reviving this thread now that I am back in prep mode (I generally do enough what I think is enough for 2 sessions but then it takes my players 6 to 8 sessions to get through it!) Why so many monster books? Not for different monsters, but for the same ones! [see this thread]

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There is no topic for which my interest in discussing it cannot evaporated by the posting habits of some folks on these boards.

    What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

    Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game (using the SAGA card system) even if it needs to be re-printed without any Marvel branding.

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    I know some people prefer to hand wave the end of fights when they feel the outcome is inevitable but I like seeing what happens and giving the players the satisfaction of all surrounding that final low CR monster and giving it a good group beat down.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    I have none, just the experience of being told about it then. It is totally possible that having been described a methodology that was essentially the X card, that years later upon hearing of it, my brain decided that was it had been called. 🤷‍♂️ Regardless, I think the idea of it has been...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Ugh man. That Best Buy ad they’ve been serving on here when browsing on my phone is giving me serious early 00s pop-up vibes of annoyance.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Hmmm. I first encountered it in 2007, if I remember correctly (and earlier, if I don’t) but that doesn’t mean it had been published somewhere, just that I was at a private mini-con with people very tuned in to RPGs and concerns about issues that disrupted player’s enjoyment.

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    I also wanted to add that the notion of “muscular neutrality” works better in my opinion when the axis is law/chaos rather than good/evil.

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    The very 3.x rules regarding some spells and alignment the OP mentions is something I miss and wrote back into my 5e homebrew rules, except only on the law vs. chaos axis (what evil and good might be is arguable) as a built in part of my setting. And I specifically wrote it being “neutral” can...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    The summer dry spell is going to end tomorrow with a remote game we've been playing since 2020. I finally got around to cleaning up the session summary, so I figured I'd share it here. It was a good session, but no combat. --------------------------------------------------------- Quick recap The...

    What's the bare minimum for a VTT?

    I'd say Owlbear Rodeo is both my minimum and my maximum.

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    Is this in the right thread? Anyway, every single season of Fargo is amazing and not sure what to make of anyone who liked the show enough to watch all five season saying any of them is bad.

    D&D General DnD 5E, Damage Threshold, and Rifts

    I don’t know what number to suggest to emulate RIFTS but I do use a damage threshold ability for some huge, gargantuan (and I’ve added colossal as a size) monsters that ranges from 5 to 15.
