    Do you need Archetypes, Classes, and Villains?

    Our group has lots of experience with classless systems, so not necessary for us in the least. :) Yes, they are very helpful to illustrate the type/style of game this is and the activities the PCs are expected to be pursuing and how. And thus this provides another layer of world building...

    Why a rapier is bad for an adventurer

    I've always been partial to the version of Whisky in the Jar by the rock & reel band Tempest... sadly (surprisingly!) they don't seem to have it on YT for easy linking.

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

    Having your pants drop in battle is super embarrassing... and he wasn't going to let that happen again! (Nevermind that none of said belts are actually on his pants... :P)

    GMs - Do you get bored when you're a player?

    Huh, it's super interesting to me to see so many "yes" replies. I rarely feel bored as a player, I think the only times I've felt bored are the instances at an unfocussed table with an unfocussed/ill-defined campaign (leading to lots of non-action from the players and hence the characters)...

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

    .... ok, now I want to play a pixie monk as my next character. :)

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

    That's a neat style. Gave it a whirl to see what it is like in Dall-E 3, using nearly the same prompt (only change was to remove 'create' from the start): More variation in the style than I would have anticipated, but 3 and 4 are pretty close to the same.

    Trying to Describe "Narrative-Style Gameplay" to a Current Player in Real-World Terms

    I think I've run that adventure... :) This has been a fascinating thread for me to read through. Introducing players to something new and outside of their previous gaming experience (no matter what direction that might be) is a task unique to each player, and can be even more tricky if their...

    Eric Noah's 3rd Edition Website

    Old enough to be "here" from nearly the beginning of Eric's Third Edition news, reading every single new tidbit of information with great interest. Discussing with my new D&D group (I had just moved too). Funnily enough, it is very similar to when I first started playing D&D, when 2e was on...

    D&D General Eldritch Smite vs Paladin Smite (plus a house rule already)

    As I was not advocating for everything to be a free action, I concur... let's not make everything free actions. :)

    D&D General Eldritch Smite vs Paladin Smite (plus a house rule already)

    Another vote from me to make it a free action to cast with a "once per turn" (or once on your turn) style limit on it. This achieves the intent of limiting/mitigating the multi-smite-alpha-strike concern (a concern I truly get, being known as the one-round boss mage killer in the PotA campaign...

    Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Coming to America via Steve Jackson Games

    As I'm working from home today, took a quick look on my shelves, and while I didn't find Freeway Fighter*, I did find this: Not quite Firetop Mountain, but the world created for those books and used in the RPG that they spawned. :) * And I didn't expect to; if I still do have the book it's...

    Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Coming to America via Steve Jackson Games

    Oh wow! I had (and might still have?) the Car Wars/Mad Max-esque "Freeway Fighter", and the name "The Warlock of Firetop Mountain" is hyper-iconic in my mind. Great that they're being made available again!
