    D&D General What’s the story here?

    It's just a silhouette, so we can't really tell which way the figure in the foreground is facing. Maybe he's going home to tell his mom that the walking city followed him home and he wants to keep it as a pet, and he promises he'll feed it and play with it and clean up after it and take good...

    D&D General What’s the story here?

    "Hey! Don't be practicing your wild magic here in the cathedral!" "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Johnathan

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That reminds me of the lyrics from the Art of Noise song, "The Holy Egoism of Genius," from the album The Seduction of Claude Debussy: … Debussy understood that a work of art Or an effort to create beauty Was always regarded by some people As a personal attack Johnathan

    D&D General Dinosaurs in your campaigns

    I actually do. I realized I'd probably never get to DM an Eberron campaign, so I ported the dinosaur-riding halflings into my current campaign. (It helps that I generally dislike halflings but make an exception for those who ride dinosaurs. The PCs are currently being led by a halfling ranger...

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    Could somebody define "AAA" and "AA" for me? To me, those are just battery sizes. Johnathan

    D&D General What creature did you introduce against type that turned out great?

    I once had the party searching for a legendary longsword that had been the primary magic weapon of a deceased paladin. It was buried with him in his hidden tomb, and when they unearthed it, an avoral appeared and explained that the paladin's wishes were that anyone seeking to claim the sword...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Greg Bear has a novel, Hull Zero Three, that fits your qualifications. I recommend it only as a story about someone waking up on a spaceship with no memory - I didn't particularly enjoy it. Johnathan

    D&D General What is your most prized Dungeons and Dragons Product?

    I guess my copies of Dragon #260, since I had a total of three distinct articles in it: Greater Drakes, The Ecology of the Aspis, and Arcane Lore: Dragondoom. It was my first (and only) trifecta. (I miss my freelancing days - never before did I have a hobby where I had more money coming in...

    D&D General Dinosaurs in your campaigns

    In my current 3.5 campaign, I've tried incorporating a lot of different monsters that haven't gotten a lot of play in my prior campaigns, and dinosaurs are among them. So the latter half of this campaign has the PCs, who come from an Australia-sized continent, trekking across an Asia-sized...

    D&D General The D&D Memes Thread

    The bad thing about being a retired drummer is if they ever pull you out of retirement, there will be...repercussions. (I'll let myself out.) Johnathan

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I finished Stephen King's Holly (great story, featuring one of my favorite of his characters), and am now starting the first book in a trilogy by Dennis Schmidt: Twilight of the Gods: The First Name. So far, it's a standard sword and sorcery fantasy taking place in a Norse setting, with the...

    D&D General Session Zero and Nobody Chose a Spellcaster

    The 3.5 campaign I'm currently running is a party of five casters: human bard/rogue, elf sorcerer, half-orc cleric/paladin, dwarf cleric, and human fighter/wizard/spellsword/eldritch knight. It's been pretty different than the other campaigns I've run - to the best of my memory, this is the...

    Why a rapier is bad for an adventurer

    I once worked with a guy whose last name was "Raper." He had a twin brother who was so embarrassed by his last name he legally changed it to "Rapier." Johnathan

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Funny - my very next "Dreams of Erthe" adventure is called "Bleedover," and it involves dream remnants from other universes "bleeding" into the dreams of my campaign world. The PCs, as dreamwalkers, will need to fight Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff in one dreamscape; Gyaos, Mecha Godzilla, and Varan...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    "Maximilien's silver hammer?" Beatles fan, I take it? Did the players pick up the (slightly modified) reference? Johnathan
