Kind of a silly question. Replaying Oblivion got me thinking. What do you guys look for in housing in your fantasy world? Do you go standard house, wizards tower, castle, or even stranger (looks at Merlin's houses in the old Grail Quest series)?

I decided to make my own conspiracy - OZGate - or what they don't want you to know. Writer's note. This is completely tongue-in-cheek and shouldn't be taken too seriously. It could also be used to fuel your games. Part 1: OzGate: The Tornado Truth They Don't Want You to Know (Part 1) Enjoy. :)

Quick curiosity question for the group. When you play Small-sized characters in (5e or previous versions), which ones do you actually like playing? Not asking about balance or optimization—just preference, vibe, and table experience. Here’s the rough “short folk” list I had in mind: Gnomes...

Every so often, I look at the Red Box and wonder whether its approach could be replicated today—not as a one-and-done product, but as a way to introduce someone to their own heartbreaker in deliberate increments. And whether that’s even necessary. Many modern discussions center on structure...

The Lost Laboratory of Kwalish was an official WotC product that changed Kwalish from Human to Gnome, but I could have sworn there was a reference in an earlier edition that established the change. I'm working on something and want to confirm due diligence before proceeding.

not mine, but too good not to share. Which Snarky Forgotten Realms is better?

Well, why, for a species obsessed with warfare, do they seem to have an almost childlike innocence about Christmas?

How much is this feasible in later editions? Have you done any silly tricks with torches?

Whether it's like the Doctor Who episode Logopolis, or more mundane like in the Outer Worlds 2, how would you build a society built on math? How powerful should math be? How do they gain the hard-earned math skills how do they treat outsiders?

https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/04/left-4-ape-apes-vs-zombies.html This is something I stewed a while back. The premise is the same virus that animates dead tissue increases sapiens in apes. It's how does Ape Culture deal with the zombie hordes and the few surviving human...

I was listening to Greyhawk Grognard and he was grumbling how he thought it tainted the barrier peaks and made them assume it was just a place of tech. so want to invert it. lets build a fantasy world where the focal point is a space ship crashing on the planet what was it like before? What...

Essentially, I want a Baldur's Gate-type game to be done there. It was the original heartland of the realms, key connection to the underdark and it's close to the Moonsea, Cormyr and Sembia And if it happens to allow Saurials or Stonelander Minotaurs as PCs...so be it. :D So how would you...

I did some stewing on this on another forum. Then Ken and Rob jogged my memory. Here is the first blog entry. What is worse, the devil you know, or the cosmic horror you don't? https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2025/10/gothic-vs-lovecraft-horror-of-all-time.html

Nobody ever uses them beyond a speed bump, and honestly, I'd rather play a gargoyle over an aarakocra as a pc. so here's a quick brainstorm. so here's my thoughts. Gargoyles are sentient, ambulatory stone organisms sculpted from the architecture of faith, fear, or memory. They “grow” from...

I heard there is a bunch of stuff created by the Living Greyhawk back in the day that can't be found, much less used, from this golden era, due to legal reasons. I'm seriously curious. So tell me about your Living Greyhawk stuff? Bonus points if you can figure out a way to make it legally...

I had way too much fun writing this up. https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2025/11/pointy-eared-sneaks.html

Been going through Pratchett again, and honestly, I want to do a fantasy mall. In your opinion. 1. How would you do a fantasy mall? 2. What would you see there? 3. How would you use it to drive stories? 4. Where would you put it? Is it like a mega dungeon or is it a location like a massive...
