    AD&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    Oh! That reminds me of mine: I'm doing this from memory, but Taladas: The Minotaurs, [I stand corrected it was] Dragonlance: Book of Lairs featured a ring that was THOUGHT to be ...of Minotaur Control but was actually ...of BOVINE Control. So, Minotaurs, Gorgons, and...Cows, I guess. Also, I...

    "I'm a [BLANK] kid!"

    One of these days I'm going to pony up for a mint Gator. I still hate that I never kept that one.

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    I'm seeing it as he's holding it over the outside of his forearm--his right thumb is facing toward the left of his body--so if he were to raise and shoot with the bow perpendicular to the ground, his arms would actually be crossed, and the arrow would be outside his wrist. ETA: I mean, NOT that...

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    Well, that's going to bother me...forever now. (I don't think my own wrist even flexes in that direction.)

    D&D 5E (2024) What do people think of the new dragon designs?

    I've always felt like the problem is that when translating metallic hues to more flat (matte?) colors in art, Gold and Brass are both yellow-ish-with-some-brown, then Bronze and Copper are both brownishyellow-ish-with-some-green, so there's blending needed...and then we end up with four that...

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Cartoon Heroes In The 2024 PHB

    Some characters are meant to suffer: Redgar, Minotaurs in Magic: The Gathering, C-3PO, Miles O'Brien.

    D&D 5E (2024) New D&D Edition's Player’s Handbook Cover Reveal

    So, I like the new PHB Cover Art. I think the intent is it's aspirational, as it should be: "Someday, YOU and your friends can face off with immense evil (Red Dragon) with the forces of good at your back (Gold Dragon)." I respect dipping into the past with Strongheart, et al. I think that if...

    It's not out quite yet, but backers have a digital draft. Also, no suggestions for Dwarven Kingdoms of Krynn from 2E? :)

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    D&D Survivor: Whack Dragons. Oh. And "Removing Fiction In-Game." Which seems like missing the point, but ok.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Yes! The only novella I've read is "The Furthest Station" (only one my library has on shelf) and I haven't read the comics (although I've religiously crossed-referenced information on the TVTropes page). As a result, one reference to a haunted BMW seemed like a cute call-back, but plot points...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I discovered this late last year and have torn through the series in the last few months. I'm due to check out Amongst Our Weapons (book 9) this weekend from the local library. I found it fun, immensely readable, and the voice and some of the "misses" in the language improve as it goes on...

    Geek Confessional Thread 2024 [NOW 2025!]

    Here's my big one: The Lego X D&D crossover SHOULD be everything to me, but I just can't pull the trigger on it (and believe me, impulse buys are NOT the issue). The build, the aesthetics, the minifigures themselves...everything just seems varying degrees of "Off." I had enough LEGO VIP points...

    This is literally what just happened with Wongo's mace in the Tomb of Annihilation campaign I'm in.

    D&D General D&D Cartoon Characters In WizKids 50th Anniversary Miniatures

    LOL. Can't argue with that! In the meantime, you could try to pick up Masters of the Universe: Battleground (Masters of the Universe: Battleground) and paint He-Man as Northlord! :) (And in my defense of NOT spending money, I DID just pick up the Beholder and Displacer Beast actions...
