    Are you ready for some Football (Americano)!

    When I first heard the news about Skattebo I thought "Oh yeah, must be another concussion". The kid is absolutely fun as hell to watch and the NFL is worse for him being out for what I have to assume is the rest of the season, but I really do hope that someone on that team, maybe Singletary, can...

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    My own personal bugaboo is referring to any outdated flowery medieval English as "Shakespearean". No. the term you're looking for Early Modern English, perchance sometimes called "Elizabethan". Shakespearean is a style and quality of writing that is often associated with, but not necessarily...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Asking for consistency in the colloquial naming conventions of the many, many editions of Dungeons & Dragons is a battle that was lost a long time ago. Let's not forget internal developmental names either. DnDNext and OneDnD are still the names of the primary subreddits where these respective...

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    When the full ingredient list was posted in the judge's chat, one of the judges said pretty much exactly the same thing. The full quote: "That…looks like we can expect some silliness." I think this absolutely bears repeating. What a wild set of ingredients to come together. I was also going to...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I mean, have we forgotten, collectively, the umpteen threads with titles like "If The Barons Daughter Marries The Son Of The Burgomaster, Will The Margraves Brother Rise In Rebellion?"

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    But have you considered how reality and facts get in the way of advancing my agenda?

    D&D General Weave Your Tale in the Forgotten Realms With 8 Epic Subclasses (D&D Beyond Article)

    There was a thread here a few months ago titled "What if the Wind Dukes of Aqaa were Djinn" and my immediate reaction to seeing that thread was "...wait, they aren't?" And as it turns out, no, they aren't, actually. Which seem wild! But yeah, it does seem like "Noble" Genies are on a power...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Yes, we should offend everyone equally! That is because all groups are of equal status and stature in our current society, right? So making fun of white men is equally socially and politically consequential to making fun of transgender women, right? Is that how that's supposed to work?

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    If memory serves, Professor DM was one of those YouTubers citing BookScan data wildly out of context to create clickbait videos about D&D 2024's downfall, I'm not sure I would consider him a particularly solid source.

    D&D General 'Project Sigil' 3D Virtual Tabletop Finally Laid To Rest

    I mean the real question was... did they pronounce it like the word Sigil or the interplanar city Sigil?
