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

    Page 21 I thought that was Captain Marvel/Shazam for a second.

    D&D 5E (2024) If Your Builds Not Online By Level 6 Dont Bother?

    I have a barbarian 1/wizard 4 and, while it still works, I think I'm going to be missing the lack of fireball in the upcoming session. I remember trying to put something together in 5e that felt like the 4e swordmage which mixed abjurer with eldritch knight, it took too long to really match up...

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    I'd say rogues don't get extra attack because of how sneak attack scales, that's their damage ramp, not extra attack.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Recovery strategy

    I'll be getting myself back a couple of magic missile slots and a 2nd level spell slot for a spell like blur, mirror image, or invisibility. It really would depend on my spell selection and what we know about an upcoming encounter. Like, if we know a well placed fireball will make the next...

    D&D 5E (2024) I attack the darkness!

    Back when I was running 5e, I considered giving both people in that magical darkness disadvantage on attack rolls as they fumble about. Don't think it ever came up though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical: WotC goes under and Hasbro vaults D&D. Now What?

    A rather pessimistic take on what would happen. While it might be possible for their popularity to decline, I think the majority of players would either keep playing or move onto something else. New players will still join groups to play, people might be more open to playing different rpgs. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    I'm most interested in the forgotten realms books, not sure if I'll get them though since I'm moving away from 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical: WotC goes under and Hasbro vaults D&D. Now What?

    I don't think it would really matter, plenty of DnD adjacent RPGs out there now, I've seen people mention how they still haven't got through all of the options in their 5e content and so have enough to play with for years to come so I kind of feel like if WotC goes under (or perhaps just the DnD...

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    That whole BMX bandit/Angel summoner thing is also something which I've never experienced. I think in the real world, people just pick a class and settle down to play, they don't really care what other options others have and instead get down to playing and having fun. I sort of feel like it's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    I guess what I meant was that getting casting ability from your race doesn't impact on whether I'd consider a class a caster.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    I think of rangers and paladins as more martial than caster (as in warriors with a few spells). I don't really think that their spell casting ability tips them more into the spellcaster than the martial side. Same with the artificer, they're an expert 1st then a caster. I don't consider any...

    D&D 5E (2014) What If Everyone Could Use Scrolls? (House rule)

    I created some wands that did that. They had a 1st level spell and a cantrip. Can't remember if I limited them to spellcasters or not though, but I remember a bard had a wand of storm that they'd use as an offensive boost.

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

    I asked chatgpt if it knew what I meant if I said "no boob armour" and it did. Admittedly this isn't plate armour which is notorious for boob armour but still, I think these look pretty cool. Really like the consistency here.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I gave up on Foundation, it just didn't get me interested, I'm now going to give at least the first book of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony a go, see how that is.

    D&D 5E (2014) What If Everyone Could Use Scrolls? (House rule)

    I did once consider making each scroll being created in a specific language. Dragonborn tend to write theirs in draconic, if your elf wizard can't read draconic then they can't use the scroll but the dragonborn barbarian might be able to.

    D&D 3.x Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    Keen scimitar or rapier with improved critical gets it down to 12+. One of the things I liked about 3e/4e was that weapons were made to feel different via die sizes, threat range, and crit damage. You could do less base damage but crit more often or crit less but harder. Critting more often was...

    D&D 5E (2014) According to the Hasbro Q1 earning call D&D sales are up substantially.

    Not all that surprising, they've just recently released the revised version of 5e.
