    The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

    Our good news is that quickly on the heels of losing one dog, we're getting another. We've tried to maintain about four years of separation between dogs to help spread out the agility training and showing, and since the youngest is 3 1/2 it was time to start looking. Our usual breeder had...

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I've walked all over this land we call the Flanaess, and though I've heard whispers in dark places I've yet to find evidence of these so-called "dark elves." They're likely a myth to frighten elf children, methinks. As well as rats that walk like men. Bah!

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Feel free. It's been sitting there long enough to get cold, though.

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    Aren't the drow a myth? Gygax said so, anyway.

    1/5. Must be a grognard.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Do I count as a hipster now? Or a grognard? It's changed so many times I've lost track.

    The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

    We had to put our middle sheltie down today. At 7 1/2 -- we'd been doing chemotherapy for lymphoma for a couple of months and while her lymph nodes were doing better, we noticed she was getting uncomfortable plus was getting some abdominal bloating. Turns out her internals were riddled with...

    Paragons of neutral good

    I was going to say Gandalf, but I suspect he may be more Chaotic Good (in his Gandalf form ... as Olorin I'm pretty sure he's Lawful Good).

    The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

    That's it, I'm putting my dog to work cutting movie trailers. Time the mooch earned his kibble.

    D&D General Drow as in Cow or Drow as in Snow: Where did the Dark Elves Come From?

    Precisely ... Prose Edda is a source for both Tolkien and Gygax, though Tolkien cites his sources and Gygax doesn't. Black elves / svartafs go back at least to the prose Edda, though as I understand they're more dwarfy than elfy in D&D terms ... but then what's an elf, and what's a dwarf?

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    Per level? How about per session? In my day, we showed up for the session with four characters per player and a dozen hirelings, and sometimes had to roll up more before the end of the session!

    Candyland

    I've always wondered what would happen if Candyland were a roleplaying game. It's got a setting, locations, villains and treasures, and it's a railroad. Seems like a perfect fit.
