    D&D 5E (2024) Have we potentially seen the end of the OneD&D Playtest?

    Or by most of software companies who work on open source code... Nobody would call Google or Microsoft non-profits, yet they release tons of software for free for anybody else (including competitors) to use with licences way more open than OGL

    D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    I started some 35 years ago, when I was something like 10 years old... Then I spent some years doing mostly MERP ⭕ and Call of Cthulhu 🐙, but went back to AD&D some 30 years ago, then a new pause in the last part of 90s, and back to D&D in '99 just before 3e, when I stumbled upon a small 3e news...

    D&D General Poll: Should a poster be expected to read (or at least skim) all posts before posting in a thread?

    I voted yes, just after reading the first post, then I read the first page and half of the second, thought a bit about angels and pinheads, read some pay on third and fourth pages and come here to post... That's ADHD in action... But yeah, I think it's reasonable to expect some reading of the...

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    Seriously, I am the only one that thinks all this could be a really elaborate prank? I have verified, we aren't near April 1st, nor any equivalent in other cultures I am aware of, but the whole situation is way too crazy to be real, isn't it?

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    So they sell loaded dice? Because succeeding at so many Death Saves is simply uncanny... 😁

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    If I had to choose a Tom Cruise film, I would use Edge of Tomorrow, with TSR dying again and again, yet coming back...

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    While reading the original post, I believed it was a joke... Then I read the whole thread, and honestly I can't fully know if all that is a very elaborate joke or a very sad reality... In any case I am baffled...

    TSR The Mystery Deepens -- Jim Ward Knows Nothing About A New TSR!

    I felt really hyped last week when I saw TSR was back (again), I even felt the day off nostalgia when I saw the cover of Giantlands (Larry Elmore's style transported me to my teen years). But the more I read about it, the more I feel bad. Special thanks about that too the community manager of...

    OSR Chromatic Dungeons Pre-Launch: Books in Hand!

    It looks really good! A nice mix of old school and modernity, and I really like what you have said in the first post, so @Sacrosanct count me on for the Kickstarter!

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Going to grab those PDFs now, I see some reading evenings in my near future... Re-reading the story hour, that will give me some almost twenty years old souvenirs. Really nice to see you here, compadre! So you're DMing 5e now? Are you doing a story hour or of it? I began a 5e campaign during...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Wait, wait, I know I have been absent here longtime... Would you be, by chance, the storyhour author formerly known as Nemmerle?

    D&D 5E (2014) Pact of the chain - how did it work out?

    Hmmmm, I have always envisaged it as a immutable pact encrypted in a endless mystical chain built with eldritch blocks of links mined by extra-dimensional Modrons... (Yes, I think I have spent too much time around blockchain fanpeople)

    An Official Hellboy RPG Is Coming!

    I have really liked the quickstart! I love what they have done to adapt 5e to the Hellboy context. The Ingenuity and Doom mechanism is really nifty, I love the uses of Doom either on the moment to add a bad effet for the characters or to complicate things in the long term by slowly building up...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    Woah, thanks for taking your time to explain your point! As I told you, I can really understand and relate, specially when thinking about Planescape. Yet I would love to see Planescape 5e and Darksun 5e books in my FLGS someday...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    Well, I guess that then we must agree to disagree :)

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    Will, I guess I am not the target public, for me Prince of Persia will always be that: But I'm really happy they have done some remakes and a movie, even if I still think the original was better.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rename the Monster Manual

    World Hunger counterspells, and Climate Change cast a huge buff on World Hunger

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    So you would rather let it die? I mean, if they don't do anything about it, the only people who will know Darksun will be the old grognards like us. And for me, loving a setting (or movie, or book) also means loving to share it, to make it available to as many people as possible. It reminds me...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rename the Monster Manual

    Well, in IT the subject of master is indeed hot... I could tell you some tales about the long flame wars on the master-slave terminology on databases or the master branch on Git...
