    Ravenloft, the Movie

    Vampire movies always seem to carry their weight. Would a Ravenloft movie make a good D&D/vampire crossover film?

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    One of the best, timeless Christmas classics.

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Is the movie A Christmas Story? Besides, I thought the traditional Christmas feast protein was a goose. Seems odd that that's evolved for the UK given that turkeys aren't native to Europe ... but then again I guess Christmas traditions are pretty modern. My mother's family's traditional...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    American Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving, or other Thanksgiving? Yeah, it's become my favorite holiday. It's a chance to power down, share a good meal, and reflect. We're mostly traditional US Thanksgiving menu: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing (Stove Top!), cranberry sauce (must...

    Burger me!

    Pineapple? On a burger? That's more heretical than Hawaiian pizza. (Egg's common. I've put egg into the patty itself when making it to help it hold together. Though I prefer it without the egg.)

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I grew up with B/X and 1E ... like many back then, we really ran a blend of the two. So that's really my vote: AB/X. If I could only pick one, now, it would probably be B/X (which, functionally, isn't really different than BECMI). 2E I found too sanitized even thuogh it's mechanically far...

    Anticipatory Grief

    So sorry to hear this man. You can't lighten the load but you can share it to help bear it. We lost our baby girl -- canine, age 7 -- earlier this year to cancer. She was diagnosed with lymphoma, started chemo, went into remission, had it come back, tweak chemo, remission again. Then we...

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    The internet has mostly lost the value of well-moderated forums and actually informed news. EN World is an oasis of excellence in a desert of internet mediocrity.

    D&D General *Hobbits* in a late-80s AD&D product

    Oopsie. Don't let the Tolkien estate know. They might sue.

    Toys For Tots

    Crayons are great. Though I recommend you disguise the boxes so the Marines don't eat them.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    100%. Much as I love the classic settings, it's time for something new -- or take something original from a third party and slap a D&D logo on it.

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

    To be fair, the fact that space is big, really big, only seems to get a solid nod in 2001, Alien/s, and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (+ The Expanse for TV). Elsewhere it's space wizards all the way down.

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

    On the heist angle I think the Dresden Files novel Skin Game is a great template for a high-level heist adventure -- stealing an artifact from Hades' vault.

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

    The players must travel to the Feywild to find a magical, roaming hut inhabited by the orc god Gruumsh, whom they must convince to part with his ambrosia pie. If a longer campaign is needed, the adventurers must cross the multiverse to locate the ingredients of said pie for Gruumsh to bake for...
