We're all really just playing 15th Edition Braunstein when you sit down and really think of it.

How many times in human history has an external force of oppression actually been lifted by the destruction of a single man or macguffin? Most of the evil of mankind, insofar as 21st century developed westerners can judge the past, originated in the society that it oppressed. Romans oppressed...

This may be the most liberal thing I'll ever write but: "The setting shouldn't just 'have hope'. You shouldn't show up, kill some monsters and suddenly fascism is cured. The game itself needs mechanics for building and maintaining a better world, and it needs to make them fun. It is...

There's a well established precedent of Raveloft Domains of Dread as "counting" as being both Ravenloft and the setting they're from: Cyre 1313 is Ravenloft AND Eberron, Kalidnay is Ravenloft AND Dark Sun and I'Cath, Kirlanova and Hazlan belong to Ravenloft AND FR. The shadowfell and feywild...

Every evil wizard should have a wild magic barbarian as a living spell slot battery. Would be cool if like a darklord or red wizard goes into the battlefield tossing fireballs every round and getting their spell slots from their pet barbarian, then the players break or pick the lock and...

Dimension 20 on Dropout?

This would be my best guess for the inspiration- if for no reason than you just heard the word in a D&D/fantasy context and thought it "sounded cool". The first time I DMed a game around the age of 8 I think I had heard the word "rhombus" in geometry class once, thought it sounded cool and made...

"Becky, look at her butt" or "Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white?"

That sounds metal. And radioactive.

This thread is literally the only hit for that word on Google are you misreading or misspelling it? Presumably it has something to do with the god or moon Charon?

My dude if I'm going to spend effort liberating anything from anyone it's going to be something that matters like food, energy or the right to free expression. D&D is a naughty word game.

You can send a killer fart to your enemy while they're sleeping in a poorly ventilated bedroom.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why my party wouldn't use circle spells if the opportunity is available; if all the secondary casters lose is time and concentration. The only reason I can think of is if the player doesn't have spell slots.

In my experience, unless the sphere spell emanates from the caster, players will usually angle their fireballs to encompass as much space as possible, usually shooting it a few feet above their enemies' heads.

Here on EN World, we make fun of people who get mad when they see others "playing D&D wrong." There's no one prescriptive way to play D&D, and trying to impose your interpretation on what is the "best" D&D is considered to be wrong. Why can we not apply that logic to something like a war...

The cylinder is roughly half the height of the sphere with a commensurate decrease in area.

Maybe the cure to male loneliness is standing within five feet of another peasant and readying an action to launch something at your enemy at the speed of light

Maybe the cure to male loneliness is launching fireballs at your enemies from forty miles away with the boys

I'm of partial Greek heritage and one of my relatives is a Hellenic Neopagan. While specific sites and landforms of the Mediterranean hold significance to their religious practices, from what I understand the concept of Olympus or Hades as locations are not sacred, not in the same way that land...

It would be weird if they added rimekin and not flamekin, though on the other hand I don't know how a flamekin would materially differ from a fire genasi, and I am also curious if a rimekin might be a suitable stand in for an ice para-genasi.
