    D&D General Beadle & Grimms Forgotten Realms Premium Map Collection

    I knew dragonborn weren't "native" because I was around when they first became a thing in 3e, but I didn't know orcs were from another world in FR.

    D&D General Beadle & Grimms Forgotten Realms Premium Map Collection

    I adore those first two maps, but I'm a sucker for isometric maps re: the second map. Are those in the FR books or are they B&G exclusives?

    D&D General Dumb Idea: Hit Points As Ablative Plot Armor That Doesn't Regenerate

    It's a fun thought experiment OP. Has someone suggested HP per level, instead of per "lifetime?" It all gives new meaning to "I was only one week from retirement..." :'D

    We really need a AI tag

    Would it be for any topic that concerns/includes AI? What do you have in mind?

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    I'm reminded of a video some librarians made, a comedic skit about going to a library in the future and being asked if you wanted a standard book (written by AI), or an organic book (written by a human). The waiting time for an organic book was year(s). Wish I could find it, my wife shared it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best D&D 5e alternate ruleset?

    They can't add content that isn't in the SRD, and only the first few gpgs are in it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best D&D 5e alternate ruleset?

    I should see if there's anything new with that, it's been a month or two since I checked the patreon. ?Unforunately? FoundryVTT implementation is always gonna be a big factor for me, so the best I could realistically hope for is hacking out what bits I like for my A5E games (or I can just port...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best D&D 5e alternate ruleset?

    I think 5.5 and TotV check off different boxes- or at least, they check off the boxes in different ways.. I think TotV does it better (see: TotV's Weapon Options vs. 5.5e's Weapon Masteries, or TotV's spell changes vs. 5.5e's). So if someone liked 5.5's way of doing things, they might not...

    Level Up (A5E) How does Combat Directives (marshal) work, actually?

    I can't wait until one of my players picks up Marshal so I too can wonder how exactly this works! This has come up in the discord a number of times, so it's not just OP being confused. (if youre in this server you can follow this to one convo, I screencapped a bunch below)

    D&D General Games Economies

    I don't think it's about Accountants & Abbacus', it's probably about the GM having high priority on economy with regards to verisimilitude. One could have a high priority for verisimilitude but not place such an emphasis on economy etc.. i think it basically involves wearing blinders in regard...

    D&D General Perception vs Investigation

    This thread is marked DnD2024, but I think folk are sharing their opinions in general so I'll happily share how much LU A5E helped me out with this: I look at the skills' specialties, and that guides me.

    D&D General Games Economies

    I think it's the same as any other rule that the DM wants to change. They can, but players have assumptions because the base prices are in the core book. Regarding how much money there is, they can change that, but they're again disregarding the base rules (in this case, amount of treasure...
