Over in another thread, someone mentions that they feel that subclasses are limiting. Whether we agree with them or not, it kind of got me thinking about D&D without subclasses. If you removed the default builds (aka subclasses), could you do something easy like take every single current class...

(If the premise doesn't appeal to you - no problem. Just ignore this little corner of the internet. The entirety of the rest of ENWorld and the web is out there for you to engage with). I just starting listening to the Yes Indie'd podcast episode with Tim Denee (of Deathmatch Island fame). His...

For the past few years, I've been biased towards reading adventures, settings, and campaigns. 2026 I'm going to focus on my backlog of systems and rules-sets. Here's my list of systems, in order of how they are on my bookshelf. Cairn 2e Urban Shadows 2e PrimeTime Adventures 2e Sleepaway Last...

Have to clear some space off my shelves. Most of these I've never read. They are all in good shape. Only shipping in the US. They are all books, so qualify for USPS media mail. I charge exact shipping. I accept paypal and venmo. My shipping days are sporadic, depends on when I can get to post...

If yes, is #Promotions the best place to do so? If no, no worries, I'll sell to Noble Knight or Wayne's Books. Just seems a shame to put a merchant in between. Thanks in advance

https://seattlein2025.org/wsfs/hugo-awards/winners-and-stats/ I have heard good things but have not read the best novel winner...

Here are links to the discussions here on ENWorld. Based on the list to the left of the home page, these are the WotC D&D books coming out through the rest of 2025. In short, which ones of these are you excited for? Share in the thread why? https://www.enworld.org/events/dragon-delves.33/...

The top line is of course the Best Novel, and the second line is the Novella. But check out the Series nominees. Fun fact (as you'll see in the wikipedia link) Seanan McGuire has been nominated for Best Series SEVEN TIMES (out of nine); and not yet won. I don't think this will be the year either...

Over here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/wizards-of-the-coast-is-hiring-a-d-d-worldbuilder.711451 They are hiring. If you were the one hired, what would be the first or maybe the first few things you would do?!? Let's keep it positive and creative, shall we?

Inspired by another thread, I just had a thought about a "city" campaign, that takes place in a bunch of cities. The party start as a bunch of Rat Catchers - yes, just like a Warhammer Fantasy campaign; but are quickly noticed by the "Custodians Guild" for their skills. The Custodians Guild of...

I was born on March 7, 1966. Are you older or younger? 50% chance one in 25 of you has the exact same month and day birthday as me (although the chance we were born on the same day back in 1966 is probably pretty slim) Apparently not much happened on the day I was born, and besides me not very...

https://whatever.scalzi.com/2024/07/22/when-hugo-nonsense-is-handled-right/ I appreciate Scalzi's analysis, and good on the Glaswegians for handling well. (Also dope-ass shoulder plaid)

So 5.24 is coming soon. How are your tables going to handle it? I've got multiple games of 5e in flight, two as a player, two as a DM. As a player, I'll roll with whatever the DM wants. Currently, I've got no opinion; I'll play the old rules or the new, whichever they want. I know the newer DM...

A thing that takes up rent-free space in my brain: portal fantasy RPG. More at the campaign level than at the design level. Today’s tenant - the players start off as Young Offenders (the term of art for the PCs) in a Misspent Youth game, fighting against the Authority in a near future...

tl;dr Some nominees were marked as "not eligible" because North American Hugo award administrators pre-caved to what they thought the Chinese govm't might do https://file770.com/the-2023-hugo-awards-a-report-on-censorship-and-exclusion/ Comments on Scalzi’s blog are interesting. A) At next...

I thought people here might be interested in this. A collection of all the entries in the Jennell Jaquays memorial jam https://crowdfundr.com/perinthos?ref=ab_8hvUKDyp9Zd8hvUKDyp9Zd

Over here, we're talking about campaigns in a nutshell https://www.enworld.org/threads/campaigns-in-a-nutshell-adventures-in-a-sentence.102706/post-9262064 But I was thinking - campaigns inspired by songs! Song lyrics or the music or whatever. Doesn't have to be one you've already run, although...

For those who have been keeping up with the playtest materials - what will the impact of 1D&D be on 3PP material? I know WotC has promised to make 1D&D backwards compatible with their own stuff; but they can't ensure it's compatible with the loads of Third Party Publisher (3PP) material that's...
