    D&D 5E (2014) The problem with Pet classes and a possible solution?

    I can’t speak to any of the other pet classes, but I am currently playing a 7th-level Battle Smith Artificer. When I first got access to the Steel Defender, I was intrigued to see how it would play out, and I’ve been very much underwhelmed. The 1d8 damage per attack is awfully anemic against...

    Planescape How do people play these days?

    I currently play in one campaign on Roll20. Another campaign is on a brief hiatus while the DM shifts it over from Roll20 to FoundryVTT. Both campaigns use Discord for voice chat and messaging.

    D&D 5E (2024) Return to the 3 saves for 1D&D?

    One idea I’ve kicked around in my head would be to give characters one additional save proficiency whenever they would get a Feat/ASI—so, new proficiencies at levels 4, 8, 12, etc. (This would be in addition to the Feat/ASI, so I’d probably nuke Resilient altogether) All characters would...

    D&D General Do you use languages in your D&D game?

    “For a minute there, we didn’t think we’d be able to sweet-talk our way out that tavern brawl. But fortunately, the Halfling is proficient in Argentinian Tango…”

    D&D 5E (2024) Need for a New Variant Not-Feat Feat Rule in OneDnD?

    Since nobody reads the DMG… there’s no way to know.

    D&D General Henchmen watching your stuff?

    To quote a recent episode of She-Hulk: “Henchmen believe in the cause. Goons [Hirelings] are just there for the paycheck.”

    D&D General Dan Rawson Named New Head Of D&D

    Hasbro is a profit-seeking entity. It currently generates profits by printing physical rulebooks. Hasbro will continue to print physical books as long as it is profitable to do so. Now, it is certainly possible that, as some future date, Hasbro’s market research will indicate that… let’s...

    D&D 5E (2014) Discussing Worldbuilding: Why Don't The Mages Take Over The World?

    In my headcanon, it comes down to a couple of things: 1. Actual rulership is way more boring than it looks on the brochure. Few high-level wizards want to spend their time mediating disputes between squabbling barons, sitting through budget meetings, or solving the capital city’s perennial...

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting the second playtest document?

    Among comics fans, this is known as the Liefeld Paradox. If we start with the two following theorems: 1. Liefeld cannot draw feet. 2. Liefeld always draws pouches. Then, the question is raised, “If a character has feet that are pouches, would Liefeld be able to draw them?” Debate over this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Weird and terrible things to go into a collection

    Two thoughts upon reading through this thread: 1. There are some amazingly creative and evocative ideas in here. 2. I am absolutely NEVER going camping with some of you.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cubicle 7 Presents: Vault 5E-Unchartered Journeys

    You, sir, are a braver adventurer than me. If I had told my then-fiancée about my D&D purchases while we were planning the wedding, she probably never would have married me.

    D&D General Finding Stuff in a Bag of Holding

    For starters… 1d6 items from the random trinkets table 2d6 pieces of mundane adventuring gear and maybe one roll on the CR 0-4 Treasure Hoard table from the DMG.

    D&D General Ever overhear someone talking about D&D outside of a gameshop/con/etc?

    About a year ago, I was rehearsing a play for a local community theater. After rehearsal one Friday, most of the cast and crew went out for a drink, and we learned that almost half of us were current or former D&D players, and one cast member had a husband who played (and I think only two people...

    D&D 5E (2024) Updates for Firearms in the DMG

    I don’t know if this will give you quite what you want… but I’m playing in a game that incorporates firearms rules from a 3rd party product called “Steampunk DnD 5E,” which our DM found on The Homebrewery. It offers a larger selection of firearms (and lots of other stuff that I didn’t dig into...
