    D&D General D&D Dungeon Map Design: Good and Bad

    I used a lot of gridded maps back in 1E & B/X, having gotten miniatures literally the day after I got my first D&D books. Though the maps in those modules favored drawing things out in 10 ft. squares. I remember getting frustrated with other RPGs back in that time that didn't have gridded maps...

    D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

    Sorry, they both have a novel and therefore are disqualified. :devilish:

    D&D General Lets Make a 5e 2024 Setting - World Structure

    I think if I were to do this, I'd start with a central "metropolis" like kingdom where all the various races congregate and that is relatively new. Pretty much an experiment. From this central hub, have older kingdoms that cater to specific races and perhaps lean towards specific classes (A...

    D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

    Despite the clause in the first post, the only one I'd be interested in IS a Dragonlance series that covers the War of the Lance.

    D&D General Full Caster Artificer +

    Maze and Wall of Stone? I'd like to hear the reasoning behind that for Artificer.

    Peregrine's Nest: All in the Family

    I've run games where the characters were the descendants of the player's previous characters, with mom & dad occasionally showing up - or even getting in on the group's adventures. I have also played on family connections as well, good and bad. Yes, I've used the "someone in the family has...

    D&D General + Homebrew Brainstorm to bring back prepared Vancian Casting +

    I'd probably go route #1 - losing flexibility for the option to have more spells on hand that will be useful at any given time. Overall, though I think I'd go with limited prep - maybe one or two flexible slots. The rest are prepared, but you don't need to specifically select multiples. You...

    D&D General Artificer Spells +

    Power Words for the Artillerist as attack spells Crown of Stars seems to be on all Arcane spell-users list, also seems to fit in with attacks modes for the Artillerist and Armorer (think the floating drones of Mister Fantastic from the recent Superman movie) Regenerate for the Armorer &...

    D&D General I want a video game done in the Dalelands

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Idea for several gargoyle variants: Vampiric gargoyle - life-draining touch, additional powers when it's blood-draining blood hits (augmenting its humours), can become a bat or mist Weregoyle - a humanoid cursed to become a rampaging gargoyle on the night of a full moon; can infect others with...

    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    The intent is certainly clear - put it on or take it off in one action, but they really ought to fix the wording for later printings/in beyond.

    D&D General Full Caster Artificer +

    Rather than a full class redo, what about a subclass for the Artificer that grants full spellcasting. As you stated, 6th-9th being doled out akin to Warlocks - being locked into magic items.

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

    I'd prefer upcasting remain, rather than the old as-you-level-the-spell-levels-too. It's just that leveled spells, as a limited resource should do more damage than they do now. Cantrip damage isn't too terribly bad, but that 8d6 fireball (28 ave.) at 5th level will just barely kill a 2014...

    Are You A GM?

    Been a forever GM about 99% of the time up until about 2 years ago. Currently my wife has taken over and I only run on special occasions. I had to step away from GMing, as I'd burnt myself out after 40 years of running games. It's been interesting being on the player side of late. I'm...

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    This seems like a strange thing to ask on EnWorld. 5E D&D or, if I could get away with it, 2E.

    Friday Nonsense: Funniest Gaming Fails

    5E game, Tomb of Annihilation. Our group, now about level 3, had taken to the jungle, and after being warned about undead made camp in the trees to avoid possible nighttime ambush. Standard solitary night watch, with an elf who only has to sleep for four hours before they can take the second...
