    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I actually thought the last Indiana Jones movie was a great addition to the franchise. I'd forgotten about back to the future, watched that so many times as a kid, maybe that's my fifth trilogy. I have to say, reading through these I'm getting ideas of movies to rewatch: national treasure...

    D&D General Is this use of a wizard's spellbook accurate?

    We've also had plenty of people argue for one level of wizard allowing for you to add every wizard spell to your spellbook. If this article is AI, I wouldn't be surprised if it got some (incorrect) info from ENworld.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I'm not sure I can think of 5. 1. Original star wars movies, watched this so many times as a kid, love the star wars universe. 2. Pirates of the Caribbean. I love these movies, great Swashbuckling fun with monsters and magic. Davy Jones was amazingly well done. 3. Indiana Jones. If they...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    That's not much different to how it works now.

    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    Only played this once or twice in a boardgame cafe but it was pretty good from memory, one worth a purchase.

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    I haven't had a chance to listen yet, is this in reference to each subclass having alternate effects that can be chosen or subclasses that can be made for multiple classes? I remember the Strixhaven subclasses and how they were for more than a single class but didn't quite work. Then they...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    +2 missiles per additional spell level would put magic missile in the right spot, right now I don't think I really cast it at a higher level because 1 additional missile won't really make much difference. I still like the spell though, can be handy when you know the enemy is close to dead and...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Unfortunately they will be tinker gnomes from Krynn. Each book will be over 800 pages long and even after reading them, no one will know how the game works.

    When Is a RPG "Complete" From a Publishing Perspective?

    Basically, once an rpg has released the core rules, enough setting books to cover their setting in detail with mechanics to go with it, and enough rules supplements to expand on the core rules, it's complete and ready for the next edition which has enough small changes to make people think they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Quick way to fix class balance if you don't use the assumed adventuring day

    Probably easier to go the BG3 route and just say that you have 2 short rests per day and it doesn't take any real time to do.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    Does that count as power gaming? All it does is make someone really good at arcana, it's not a skill which will break the game.

    Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies | Official Trailer

    I loved the ending. The whole thing showed scarlet witch to be a bad guy, she finally wins and it turns out she was right, she could fix the world, except she didn't. It was all an illusion and Kamela's friend is there trying to snap her out of it. A great ending that can either continue the...

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    Weirdly, what you thought it said seems to make more sense considering the show.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    Yeah, I must be thinking of the proficiency bonus bit you've mentioned, been a while since I read it so it's just a vague memory floating about in my head, one of those "That sounds wrong, but I can't quite recall why".

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    I'd thought I'd read something that said you could add an ability modifier only once, but since I can't say for certain I'm remembering that correctly, I'm going with yes.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Sooo, has @MichaelSomething account been hacked or is this how they normally post? As is, in 20 years I'll probably be dead or senile, not sure I'll care what's happening to DnD.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    Hard to choose between BECMI and 2e, probably lean to 2e DnD, then SWADE, and maybe transformers.

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    The answer is no, but also yes. Most of the time I think sticking with single class works best but sometimes adding a second class can help realise a character concept. I ran a half orc wizard who had 1 level of barbarian to account for his upbringi g, worked out to be quite fun being able to...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I forgot the watcher was originally involved, I did wonder if the ultimate nullifier would make an appearance though. I also found it to be an enjoyable movie, one of the better of the recent marvel movies.

    WotC D&D Universes Beyond

    Might be cool to see the Masters of the Universe translated to DnD, though I wonder if that would instead be given to Renegade games to make a setting.
