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

    This seems to be the one I recall the most- done with her husband.

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    I recall that I kept getting no skill or measurable worth for nearly every character. I think I had a rat catcher in the sewers, a dung sweeper, and a hay bailer for skills. No reason why I went adventuring.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why doesn't Magic Stone get better?

    It seems like the big thing is that it makes magic hitting stones that bypasses the 'immune to slashing, piercing, bludgeoning that is not magical" weapons. If it was for 5.5e instead I would think differently.

    1 Shot Campaigns, and throw away characters.

    Can a 1-shot even be considered a campaign? I mean, I guess but I never would and I see them as two different things. Why play them. They are a bit like a convention game where you get to play something you might not. You can make a class or race and be a bit goofy at the table when in a...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    I would still think mash of junk and DM whims is better than doing away with the tradition of having ability scores.

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    I would rather do away with skills and keep the abilities. You can just 1e things based on your ability.

    D&D General Actual Play: Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set

    I wonder if you can level 2 in stages? You can get the HP one week and a power or spells another. Keep it easy, but they get 'prizes' often without suddenly being 5th level.

    D&D General Left the Campaign / Need Closure for Character

    Like above, I tend to just them go and sail off into the sunset so to speak. We did have times when we played 2e that one group would become old and show up in the next campaign as the older quest-givers, but not really today. Now they kind of just go the Tyrion route and I picture them...

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    In all of 5e years, I have not seen anyone play a sorcerer. I'm sure there might be some cool things and combos and such, but I have not seen anyone play one so might as well make that class cooler. I might just have a cut down spell list and use sorcery points to boost spells in ways like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Real Emotions at the Gaming Table

    I tend to play halflings a lot and several have been killed or nearly killed by giant rats in the past. This would likely be just as embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the old story of the 1e mage who summoned a familiar and received a toad. Thinking that was rubbish, he stepped on it and...

    Release New Free DM Guide: When the Dice Don’t Fade to Black (D&D 2024)

    I guess if there is ever a reason to to not fade to black, then some rules might be needed or handy to have to keep things focused on the game and story and away from the fade to black bits. I'm assuming that most every group does not really explore this part though. I'm guessing it is a yuk...

    Homebrew Dungeons and Where They Came From

    I thought all dungeons were created by a wealthy and eccentric mage that created something to test adventurers for an ultimate quest, but dies shortly after completing the dungeon. Seriously though, I always found it interesting how ancient cities such as Rome or Troy have these vast dungeons...

    Dungeons & Dragons Returns to Universal Studios Hollywood

    Nice to see it did well enough to come back for another go. Maybe I'll see it when it goes 'off-Broadway' and comes to my neck of the woods.

    Sophie Turner is Lara Croft

    Looks like she was born the year the video game came out.

    How Often Does Google AI Actually Generate A Response?

    I was googling about the noble house in Waterdeep and wanted to know the names of people tied to the green dragon in Kryptgarten Forest to the north. There is an adventure tied to the nobles trying to kill it and such and I was planning for an upcoming adventure. I found the info I needed and...
