Might be something to that analysis, Russ.

Currently DCC and Castles&Crusades, both of which I like. But I feel like I am missing out on something with WotC D&D.

This is not a troll post. I am asking legitimately out of curiosity, and maybe a bit of wistfulness: why is 5e (and the newest iteration, 2024...5.5e) fun? Background: the other day I looked on D&D Beyond and saw their new(ish) map feature. Since I play online with my friends pretty much...

Since returning to gaming in 2019: 5e (four standard campaigns, and a LotR variant from Free League) Dragonbane (one campaign) Call of Cthulhu (three campaigns) Dungeon Crawl Classics (two campaigns) Mutant Crawl Classics (one campaign) Star Trek (one campaign) Castles&Crusades (one campaign) On...

The Savage Frontier (TSR: 1988). I lived in that thing. Read it over and over. Cover art by Larry Elmore is in my top three favorite pieces of D&D art ever.

So far, no, but the characters are only 4th level.

Dude, I'm crafting now. I might open my own Etsy store. Maybe even get into bedazzling. Anything could happen.

If I had the rest of my life to think about it, it would never have occured to me to just do it myself. A binding machine! Wizardry! We live in a age of miracles! Thanks, friends.

I am looking at having a few of my PDFs printed and bound (for personal use only!). Just poking around, the prices are...steep (especially shipping). Can anyone suggest a reasonable and reliable service that they've used? I am in the US. Thank you!

T The indexing is definitely an issue,

My group is a bunch of middle aged dudes who cut their teeth on 1e&2e. We also played a few Chaosium games back in the day (CoC, Stormbringer). We played 3e for a few years before life got in the way (wives, children, geography). In 2019, I got the 5e books and we began to play again--quite...

I found a very simple one-page rule summary that will, hopefully, help the young'uns get rolling. I appreciate all of the help and suggestions. It's a lot of fun, but man! Exhausting.

Shadowdark is nice because the mechanics are so simple. Character’s can fit on the front of an index card. We really only have 30 or so minutes to play once a week, so things need to be easy to understand and quick to execute.

Thanks, friends. I am going to use a few really short ones from Kobold Press's Prepared! scenarios, as well as a printed out version of the Goblin one on D&D Beyond. I'm also going to bring either Shadowdark or OSE to help those who have never played an RPG before. 5e is incredibly complicated...

We cannot access D&D Beyond on our school accounts because God hates me and wants me to be sad.

Let me be more clear: imagine that reading more that 2 pages was a Sisyphean task. I'm talking basic stuff here. 10 rooms with descriptions and stat blocks.

Hello, friend. I am a middle school teacher and I am in charge of the Dungeons&Dragons club. 40+ kids are showing up every week, which is astonishing (and beyond chaotic). I have one group of sixth grade boys who have never played before...including their Dungeon Master. They have spent two...

I wish you well, friend. I love all of the above except Daggerheart...which is the only one I have never played! I just tried to teach a group of 11 year old boys how to play 5e (I am the advisor to the schools D&D Club). You don't realize how complicated it is until you are trying to explain...
