    Toys For Tots

    Dice are always cool. Maybe a HeroForge gift card. I give to the local Veterans shelter myself as they always need socks and t-shirts.

    OSR Modules with the best layout & presentation

    I was thinking this when reading some of the other posts. I have players that are now focused on the monsters and not listening when I tell them about the high ceiling with the shadowy alcoves. Then when spiders jump down, they are all- what the heck, you never told us that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's Write A High Level Adventure

    Time crunch? Should it all take place in one day, or each dungeon needs to be completed in one day. Might depend on length of plot and size of adventure. Smaller dungeons or larger? I'm more a 5-room person since my group only gets to play for a few hours at a time. A larger dungeon might...

    OSR Modules with the best layout & presentation

    I always thought this was the gold standard. 4e Dungeon Delve with its short adventures that had a map and each encounter on a page with statblocks to prevent the need to go anyplace else. They were short and minor quests, but the layout was great for me.

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    A bit like politics, in that there are examples found at both ends, but most are in the middle someplace. I find more use from short adventures that are easy to drop into my existing campaign. This means that I do not need much backstory on why the dungeon is there or who built it 1,000...

    Weekly Indie TTRPG club. Wanna Join?

    @thee_silvery_bard welcome to the site. Hope you get some people that like this. I have never played any games online and find that I'm too cynical to click on random sites. Sounds like it could be a good time.

    I like the Maltese Falcon, but do not know much more about the genre.

    XKCD: What if ALL the sun’s power was focused in one place?

    But wait until episode 7 and we redo the plot, but with a whole death planet.

    D&D General This Maztica sourcebook bears an uncanny resemblance to a modern meme

    I miss the thread of the poster that was painting the old Dragon Magazines covers.

    D&D General New Official Forgotten Realms Books Trailer

    Seems a little late to the party to have a video introducing the two new FR books heroes and Adventures. I guess they came out a couple weeks ago and we are more up to date in this site, so maybe. I thought this might have been about reading books coming back. Then, I wondering why there was...

    D&D General What are your reasons for doing something because "It's what my character would do"?

    I had a rogue that would only attack a monster if another PC was already fighting with it to gain advantage and would flee if by himself. This may have left the people in the back row out to dry once in a while. Throwing it out as a phrase is a bit like throwing out railroading as a phrase...

    D&D General Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons & Dragons to Be Racist

    Didn't we just have a thread about D&D being so great and that it helps kids with autism and soldiers with PTSD and stuff like that. Then, D&D is the devil and stealing kids again. C'mon. It is a tool that can be used and pushed to show one angle or another depending on who is talking.

    We just need to create some AI to figure out how to get rind of AI.

    D&D 5E (2014) Share your Dnd "Moments that Matter"

    First one I thought of was back in 2e days with a travelling merchant that was accepted into the PCs camp for the night. He was a bit cagey with the PCs, so they decided to see what he had in the back of his wagon. Turns out he was a chef that just published his first book about mushrooms and...

    Free Troll Lord offering free C&C material to gaming clubs in schools, libraries, etc.

    This is great to see from companies. I also noticed the Military discount of 50% and the free stuff sent to those in overseas bases. Great job.

    RPG Evolution: Nothing Goes to Waste

    The good ol' quest for monster parts. 2e had some things for making magic items and boosting effects by using certain monster parts. Displacer Beast hide for cloak of displacing. This kind of thing.
