    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    I can't really think of anyone who has done more in the past decade to make high-level chess accessible and fun to a wider audience. Taken way too soon :cry:

    Just saw a video that was pointing out the beholder in this image, absolutely A+ design, look at that lil' guy. He's so happy for them.

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    Also, any game of Munchkin Classic that doesn't devolve into a Elven Mafia extorting literally everybody else at the table is a game of Munchkin Classic where people aren't playing to win.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Community building is such an under-utilized concept in TTRPGs when it have such a strong thematic component to any given campaign

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I mean, BG3 does have a hag that does eat a child, but she's honestly played much more for laughs than for horror. You throw a potion at her to make her vomit up the kid. Like BG3 is such a goofy game with its tongue so firmly within its cheek that I'm not sure where this whole "BG3's...

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    Chicken Fried Steak is to be topped with pepper and sausage gravy and that is it (adding hot sauce is also acceptable and encouraged) As it should be. I mean, it's hard to argue with success.

    CR's fandom is already full of "normies", many people consume it as a podcast

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    BG3 may have plenty of mature content but it is neither particularly dark nor edgy, like the people who love BG3 are the people who love the queer cheerful artwork.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Settings of Despair that my players must turn into Settings of Hope has been my bread and butter for years and I don't see that changing any time soon.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I am in that tiny 40+ age bracket and I am also firmly within the target market for what D&D has been outputting for years. Tasha's in particular was one of my favorite books, and I love the changes to 2024.

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    This was me and my friends' approach to playing the Lego Star Wars games and it made the whole experience much more fun

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    I can appreciate excitement as well as a desire to move this contest along. Please do keep in mind that we judges are human beings as well (and we wouldn't have it any other way!) and as such have our own lives that might occasionally get in the way. Believe me, I know the stress of waiting a...

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    The real question is, why isn't there an option on the poll for "chicken fried"

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Please provide a specific example of this in action. Or how you would apply this approach to the one example that has so far been provided (the bright cheerful artwork depicting two male characters in a romantic posture)

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Can we please, collectively, stop acting like teenagers are the only people who could possibly be okay with, let alone like, official D&D art featuring gay characters? Can we please acknowledge that supporting queer representation isn't a generational issue but a cultural issue? And that maybe...

    I'm basically always playing stealth archers/snipers in most RPGs, but Vanguard in ME2 & 3 was way too much fun.
