    AD&D 2E 2E Thief Rewrite

    This is the Rogue class I made, haven't tested it and it does use some homebrewisms as well (listed below). Classes know all of their class weapons rather than it being a list to choose proficiencies. Warriors can specialise, non-warriors can add additional weapon groups known (such as a wizard...

    AD&D 2E 2E Thief Rewrite

    Do you use proficiencies? I ended up removing the thief and turning all of their skills into proficiencies allowing anyone to learn them. In the thief's place I created the rogue which belongs to the warrior group and is more dex based, has some stealth ability similar to the elf, and also gets...

    D&D General What races/species populate your DnD world?

    In my setting I have the following that definitely exist. Typically includes any subraces, though dragonborn are split by the subtypes of frost, flame, storm, stone, life, and death. With a rare few being chaos (traits from 2 types) or platinum (which never manifests as part of a chaos...

    D&D General What Bits of History Inspire Your Homebrew Setting?

    I have developed the bare bones of a Mediterranean setting which takes historical/mythical notes from around that area, ignoring the differences in time that areas actually existed. So I have a Greek/Roman empire (or empires), Sumer and Babylon fighting for dominance, Phoenicia on the edge of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Species/Racial/Cultural Subclasses

    I'm pretty sure I recall some paragon paths for tieflings and dragonborn, maybe in Dragon. I actually really like the idea of a subclass that is built for a specific race which enhances their racial powers.

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    Jeff Goldblum is hands down, the best at playing Jeff Goldblum. As for the Rock, he tends to make entertaining movies, he's an action/action-comedy movie star he doesn't need to have great range.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I loved saga of the seven suns. The trilogy that followed was also very good.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I kind of feel like this is a sadness within long-term players, especially those who have picked up each new edition and had fun playing them, to then reach a point where the current edition of the game, which you've supported for so long, has now passed you by. With social media being what it...

    AD&D 2E Huh. AD&D 2e is my favorite D&D

    One of the things I liked about becmi was that I only had to take the one book into school. With 2e, I think I was taking the core 3 of PHB, MM, and DMG.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    The last session I played was Pirate Borg and it was great. There were only 2 players but we both went in and randomly created our characters, creating our background from various traits we rolled (I was a former nurse who got abducted by a pirate lord who now has a vendetta against me after I...

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    As others have mentioned, I probably wouldn't frame it as "+1 sword", your players might assume it is only a +1 sword on account of them being 1st level. Whether you give it a name and history or just bait the hook with something like "a sword which never tarnishes sits within these caves" at...

    D&D General Simpsons Get Official D&D Minis

    Man I hate April 2nd. The internet is just a bunch of April Fool's jokes being posted by people the USA.

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    I wonder if you took an image and entered it if chatgpt would notice and say no or if it would create the image. I'm not even sure if this can be done in the free version. Edit: Looks like it could tell an image of the 1st Avengers movie was the poster so it wouldn't do it. Not sure how it...

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    Or maybe people are just having fun creating Ghibli pictures. There doesn't have to be some ulterior motive behind it.

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    Now I'm wondering if someone is gonna redo an avengers trailer in studio ghibli style. I'd like to see a ghibli Hulk and Thor.

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    When I still cared about alignment, I felt 4e did it best with its 5 points, but I don't really think alignment has mattered much since 3e when there were still effects that were impacted by it.

    What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?

    That looks awesome, his art style looks like it would work well for lord of the rings.

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    I might have taken the same character concept to a new game, but generally not the same actual character. More than likely, even the same concept would have been rare as I'd probably play other concepts that I have kicking around.

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    I'm not sure about that, but maybe they've decided in-person play is their focus while supporting other VTT providers. They have a lot of roll20 assets that they've created so they might be thinking that's a better way forward for online play rather than their own bespoke system.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I killed my subscription when I realised I wasn't really using it anymore. I do have a couple of characters on the generator but I can comfortably fit them within the 6 character limit.
