    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    You can run AI models for free on your own computer, as long as you have decent hardware.

    D&D General Can a Wish spell move a moon to cause an eclipse?

    Altering the orbit of the moon sounds completely out of line with other effects wish can achieve, such as creating an object worth 25K gp or granting immunity to a single spell for 8 hours. So I'd say casting wish and expecting the Moon to change position is almost certainly going to fail. If I...

    D&D General Snails: Threat or Menace? (in Dungeons and Dragons)

    Polar bears are cute too, but you might still have to smite one if you don't want to end up as dinner! Friend-shaped = friend is sadly not true.

    Dimension 20 Crosses Over With WWE For New Season

    WWE performers are experts at roleplaying, so this seems like a great fit.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    With 50 years of lore about demons in D&D, it's not surprising that there's a lot of conflicting information! You can probably find a scholar arguing for each and every interpretation, but only the DM knows what is actually true about demons in a given campaign ;)

    D&D General Mike Mearls sits down with Ben from Questing Beast

    A 1% decline for a public company is a big deal as stockholders expect constant growth. The fact revenue was growing for years doesn't matter, since stockholders care about what their stock will be worth tomorrow, not what it was worth 2 years ago. A CEO who delivers flat revenue several years...

    I never thought an Aboleth could be cute...😻

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    I don't like this change. I feel like the visual impact of the multiple arms disappears when they're not attached to a human torso that isn't supposed to have more than one pair of arms. My first impression of the new illustration was that it was some kind of caterpillar monster.

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    Just don't try to examine most human made art too closely either ;)

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    Going off topic here, but when running any business there's no principle that can guarantee success. There are however plenty of ways to almost guarantee failure ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) Running A 3.0 Adventure in 5.5

    Balance isn't really a thing anymore, so I would just go with: Replace all the monsters with the closest equivalent in the 5.5 monster manual by name. Replace all skill check DCs with 15. See what happens.

    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    If you told me 5 years ago we'd soon have Artificial Intelligence that could produce gorgeous artworksin just a few seconds that look like they were drawn by professionals, but have trouble counting to 10, then I would have called you crazy! We live in strange times....

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    It's also important to actually have a good game. When the game is good people will prioritize attending the game over other fun opportunities that appear. If you have a game that happens consistently every other week for years, then it's probably a good game ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasting Monsters, Spell Slotlessness, Bonus Actions, and Intent

    The DM can even have the bad guy cast a Fireball that does twice as much damage as normal, basically combining the damage of two actions into one. And then have the bad guy cast it again as a bonus action. And then once more as a reaction, because why not? WotC's new edition can be as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasting Monsters, Spell Slotlessness, Bonus Actions, and Intent

    The rule in 5.5 is that you can only cast one spell with a spell slot per turn, which as written has no impact on monsters that cast without using slots.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    Maybe the real grognards were the friends we made along the way!

    D&D General Why Mike Mearls left D&D, an interview by Ben Riggs.

    Except there's none of the consolidation that Mearls wanted. The content of the 2024 PHB is more or less the same as in the 2014 books, just new versions of it. In other words, what we got was nothing like Mike's vision.

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    Unearthed Arcana Kiss of Mephistopheles: Unbalancing?

    But they also allow a whole bunch of other shenanigans, while Kiss of Mephistopheles only lets you do this one combo. I don't think it's a particularly strong invocation, the extra damage from hitting a target with Eldritch Blast will often be offset by less than ideal placement of the...

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    Ok, let me expand my statement so that there's no room for confusion: BG3's success suggests that the adults and children who don't like that stuff are in the minority.
