    What are you reading in 2025?

    This is similar to why I stopped counting how many books I read in a year. Different books are of different sizes, have different numbers of pages, etc., so counting the number read quickly became meaningless to me. And that's not even taking into account the quality of the books.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    No, it wasn't. I'll refer you to this article about the "ivory tower design" of 3E.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    My understanding is that WotC thinks otherwise. And if you meant that "Ed Greenwood's original contract specifies that Realms content (written by him) is canon," then all I can say is that I've heard variations of that for decades now, always with differing details, and I've never found it...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I ordered a book from Amazon yesterday, with overnight shipping. When it was delivered this morning, the package contained no book, instead having a pouch of magnesium gummies that were marked as being a sleep aid. Being quite tired due to having stayed out late partying with my friends last...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I just finished reading a 1994 reprint of A. W. Reed's 1965 book, Aboriginal Fables and Legendary Tales, and I have mixed feelings about it. As the title makes clear, this is a collection of seventy-three tales from the native people of Australia. All are very short, averaging two pages in...

    Printing PDFs in Bound Books

    I made a thread, a couple of years ago, about having PDF files turned into books over on lulu.com that's hopefully helpful: https://www.enworld.org/threads/printing-personal-copies-of-books-on-lulu-com-tips-and-tricks-ive-learned.698757/

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    You don't have to, I will. :P For instance, the claim was "over" a decade and a half old, when it's not even exactly a decade and a half old.

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    This reminds me of a post that game designer Owen K. C. Stephens made over on his Patreon page for what he calls "minor gestalts." It's essentially the same as the normal gestalt rules, but you can only gestalt with an NPC class. In practice, this means having your gestalt class be either the...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    You had two 20th-level wizards in your group, and that was the best they could do? No one cast vision ahead of time to try and figure out what they needed to be wary of? No one had a contingency spell with greater dispel magic set to counterspell? No one was willing/able to cast wish after the...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    If the issue is simply making the "boss" last longer, consider giving them maximum hit points per die. It usually won't give them more than an additional round or two, but it can help make the PCs sweat a bit for how the enemy won't go down as easily as expected. There's a great article about...
