Simple, random poll question. If you watched any part of any episode of the original Dungeons & Dragons cartoon during its original run in your home country, the answer is yes. If you've only seen it after its original run in your home country - in syndication, on home video, online, etc. -...

Following from my similar questions last month about Greyhawk and Dragonlance... Was there any official coverage of Mystara (a.k.a. the Known World, the Basic D&D default setting) in 4e? All I could find was: A description of the Isle of Dread in Heroes of the Feywild, as a multiversal...

Following on from my similar question about Greyhawk... Per official Wizards policy there would be distinct versions of the Dragonlance setting for 1e, 2e, 3e, and 5e. (Plus however Fifth Age canon would be categorized, since it was a separate game rather than a D&D edition.) Was there also...

In another thread, realized that going by the official policy that every edition is its own canon, there would be distinct versions of the Greyhawk setting in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and now 5th Edition. But what about 4th Edition? I know it had takes on the Realms, Eberron, and Dark Sun, plus its core...

The poll is finished! Here are the 50 best first-party RPG publications ever made for D&D, according to voters on ENWorld! Rank (count) Publication Votes 1st (1-2) Players Handbook (1e) Dungeon Masters Guide (1e) 28 (52.8%) 2nd (3-5) Monster Manual (1e) I6: Ravenloft (1e) Player's...

Across the 50 years and many editions of D&D, there have been numerous published products for the game. This poll asks the members of ENWorld a question - which 50 RPG publications are the best ever made for D&D? The candidate thread came up with a list of 227 publications from across D&D's...

This planned poll will, ideally, have well over 50 options when it's ready to go. So just checking (at @Lanefan's suggestion) whether there's a maximum number of options for polls on the site. I did just test and was able to add up to 101, so not too worried, but making sure whether I should...

Across the 50 years and many editions of D&D, there have been numerous published products for the game. The purpose of this thread is to figure out the 50 RPG products that you, fellow forum members, see as the best and greatest ever made for D&D! I tried this before as a ranked poll, but it...

Discussion for the thread of the same name. Now discussion for its followup: D&D General - 50 years, 50 publications - candidates

This has been replaced with a new thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/50-years-50-products-candidates.706824/ Below is historical: Across the 50 years and many editions of D&D, there have been numerous products for the game. The purpose of this thread is to figure out the 50 products that...

Which NPCs would you say are the iconic representatives of each official D&D campaign setting? The characters who are referenced the most in RPG products, used the most in tie-in products like novels and video games, appeared in the most promotional artwork, most popular with fans of the...

One of the surprises when prepping my OD&D one-shot was that monster alignment was originally more varied. While many monsters still followed only one of the three alignments (law, chaos, and neutrality), many were listed under more than one. Per page 9 of Book I in the OD&D boxed set: Men...

Rules: Strictly only what was in the original boxed set. No Chainmail or Outdoor Survival, no supplements, no magazine articles, no internet histories or commentary. This left me having to fill in some gaps on things like combat, but it seemed pretty functional. I tried to think like someone in...

As requested by @Autumnal, here are the (draft) cheat sheets I assembled for my upcoming Original D&D one-shot. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1efaWRd9oVCX_Aj6TVySIbBGtA41H0Pra Notes: These are based strictly on my understanding (and as needed, extrapolation) of the three books in the...

The first thread was looking for the most essential core monsters in D&D. The second thread was looking more broadly at how the core monster lineup has evolved. (And also an excuse to share this spreadsheet of core monsters.) This third thread is taking the opposite tack from the first: what...

Spinning out of this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-core-monster-lineup-across-all-editions.702634/ Years ago, I assembled some lists of every monster that had been in a core monster source for each edition of D&D. The sources in question being: 0e: The original boxed set Basic...

Years ago, just out of curiosity, I put together some lists of every appearance in every edition by a monster that was in a core D&D rulebook. One result was that I now had a list of the monsters that had been "core" in every single edition of the game. Meaning that they appeared in all of the...

To start out the New Year, thought I'd share a handful of YouTube channels I enjoy, but which also don't seem to get as much attention as they deserve. Arcade Music Tribute Covers of retro video game soundtracks, accompanied by some neat original music videos. Strange Brain Parts Reviews the...

https://renegadegamestudios.com/blog/renegade-game-studios-welcomes-heroscape-expanding-licensing-partnership-with-hasbro/ Curious to see how their plans differ from the failed Hasbro Pulse attempt at a revival. Good news, in any case!

Was about to post a review of Schwalb's 5E product Forbidden Knowledge today and was very confused when I couldn't find it... this was why. Kind of a shame, since his OGL 5E warlord was one of the better attempts out there. Technically this is fairly old news (9 January) but since I just...
