    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    I'd think the druidic tongue - being a sort of "secret club language" - is something it would be in the druids' best interests to keep from having variants - you want all druids to be able to speak with other druids from all over the world, right? Johnathan

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    In yesterday's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign session, the PCs: Had to skirt a forest since their wood colossus was too big to go through the forest without stopping to dislodge trees As a result, encountered a lone drow young woman sitting on a rock watching the sunset; the elf sorcerer noticed he...

    D&D General Snails: Threat or Menace? (in Dungeons and Dragons)

    In a D&D 3.5 campaign based on the Skylanders console game, I played a humanoid crow gestalt ranger/rogue who was a sidekick to my nephew's PC, a humanoid sheep gestalt "baabarian"/cleric. When it came time to pick an animal companion, I chose a snail (not wanting to upstage the "main...

    Spoilers First concept art for ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’

    I assumed it might be the Micro-World where Jarella is from. (That might even be her in the picture.) Johnathan

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I had another week-long business trip this week, and as a result, I got a lot of reading done. I finished up Spartacus: Swords and Ashes, which really captured the feel of the TV series well, I thought. And then I read: The Watchmaker's Hand, a Lincoln Rhyme novel by Jeffery Deaver. Another...

    D&D General Honey, I shrunk the party!

    I did up a "shrink the PCs" adventure at the beginning of my current 3.5 campaign. The PCs were at the home of a wizard who raised "minimals" - miniature animals, which I converted from AD&D 1E/2E since they didn't seem to have made the conversion to 3.0/3.5 - and ended up betrayed and shrunk...

    You're approached by a Hollywood exec...

    Along those lines...I'd watch a live-action (with some obligatory CGI) Thundarr the Barbarian. "Ariel, Ookla - ride!" Johnathan

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    It's generally traditional to actually face the monster you're fighting, though, isn't it? Johnathan

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Check your back: it's possible someone stuck a "YUCK MY YUM" sign on there. Johnathan

    Roshambo? (Take your pick: either the rock-paper-scissors version or the South Park variant.) Johnathan

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I'm just starting the first of two tie-in novels to the Starz "Spartacus" TV series. The first one, Swords and Ashes, takes place before Spartacus escaped the ludus (it looks like it's right after he became the Champion of Capua) and apparently deals with lanista Quintus Batiatus trying to gain...

    Triple Feature (+)

    Here's another triple feature I'd enjoy: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms 20 Million Miles to Earth Jason and the Argonauts It starts out with one of Ray Harryhausen's first movies with him in charge of the stop-motion animation (only one animated figure: the rhedosaurus) and continues on through...

    Triple Feature (+)

    Okay, I'll play: Akira Kurasawa samurai movies: Seven Samurai Yojimbo Kagemusha Each plays with the ideal of the glamorous life of a samurai warrior against the harsh reality such a life entails. My three picks are also in chronological order, not that I think it matters a whole lot. Johnathan

    D&D General Favorite Less Used Low CR Creatures?

    I like using jermlaine and osquips at low levels, and often will find an excuse for the PCs to have to go into a dungeon that I specifically designed to feature them. Johnathan

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    In today's "Dreams of Erthe" session, the PCs: Were approached by an air mephit, with a message from a noble djinn: his six daughters had each accepted assignments from drow wizards in the city the PCs were approaching, but had been tricked into servitude via genie traps: they were to serve...
