    D&D General The $150,000 Question: How TSR Learned It Was Dying (And Why I Was in the Room) by Ken "Whit" Whitman

    I'm glad someone else is saying this. Whitman already has a new page up for his latest "venture" of taking money to reach out to old TSR employees, and it's laughably barren of content, including having listings for individuals that he can connect customers to that are still placeholders...

    Where are the forum rules?

    I'm pretty sure it's that "Terms and rules" listing at the bottom-right of every page, between "Contact us" and "Privacy policy." That said, it has nothing at all about "plus" threads. 🤷‍♂️

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    You don't have to play out an elaborate deception when you can just make a Bluff check, either, but there's typically some expectation that a role-playing game will involve a certain amount of role-playing.

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    The issue with this is that D&D is not—and never has been—a "storytelling" game. It's not designed for it, and trying to make it play like one while keeping it recognizably D&D is the very definition of a square peg in a round hole. I think D&D is broader than most people think in terms of what...

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    I liked the idea that clerics would petition for spells, instead of simply taking them for granted. The problem (as I saw it) was that everyone treated this like it was at best a chore and at worst an invitation for the DM to screw you over under the auspices of your god punishing you for some...

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    You do realize that the Incarnum system got reinvented (since it wasn't Open Game Content) as "akashic magic" for PF1, right? And that it was popular enough that people are still making content for it?

    D&D General TSR designer and author Jean Rabe has entered hospice care.

    I remember quite liking her "Dragons of a New Age" trilogy, and that it got a bad rap in its frequent comparisons to Weis and Hickman's work. :( My best wishes to her and her loved ones.

    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    Fun fact: the binder class got a lot of third-party expansion, mostly through Radiance House (affiliate link), with their various Pact Magic titles for 3.5, and the Grimoire of Lost Souls for PF1.

    D&D 3.x About Rolling for Exceptionally High Stats...

    Fun fact, if you were converting a character from AD&D 1E or 2E that had exceptional Strength (e.g. 18/76 or something like that) then—according to the official 3E conversion guide (attached below)—you potentially could begin with a Strength score above 18 before any racial adjustments, even if...

    D&D Movie/TV How would you build characters for a KPop Demon Hunters campaign?

    Like a lot of "supernatural warrior"-types, the girls of Huntrix have a lot of abilities that are clearly magical in nature, but cast few-to-no actual spells. For instance: They can fall out of an airplane in mid-flight and not only land safely, but not even be slightly jarred. They can go...

    What are you reading in 2026?

    I just finished Carl's Doomsday Scenario, book two of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. It's been some time since a contemporary (i.e. not completed yet) fiction series caught my interest, and I'm pleasantly surprised to find that (so far), this one...
