I listened to a reading of D&D allowed, and Ben Riggs had Jonathan Tweet on it. In 3e, it felt like spellcasters were given supremacy at the expense of every other class (ex., CoDzilla), especially compared to their 2e counterpart. I always assumed it was Monte Cook's love of mages (and coined...

This is book that started my reduction of interest in 5e books. It's not the worst, but I never figured out how to run a game in this world. It has all the complaints of Forgotten Realms NPCs interfering with the addition that you're allowed to do even less to avoid messing up the status quo...

Been a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle and started pondering, and well, here it is. Upsidasium (Special Material) Wondrous Ore, Rare Upsidasium is a silvery, fragile crystalline metal that defies gravity. Even the smallest shard will drift upward unless restrained. Properties Negative Weight. A...

This is a list of real-life creatures that, with a twist or two, would be amazing for your bestiary? I'll start with my favorite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(genus) I went to Elk Island National Park near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and they blew my mind. Essentially a freshwater...

not disagree, Just don't understand. PC species feel different and part of the reason they think differently is because of their physiology. Using my rpg concepts to try to figure it out. 1. If you play a Feylin, one of the ongoing themes is building your life around pulp culture. It creates...

Noticing a lot of dungeons seem to have torches lit , allowing illumination. So asking Whom keeps them lit and why?

I've been on a "mocking ancient aliens" kick lately, so having a premise. What if the Middle Ages in Europe were because of aliens? I'll start William the Conqueror was a hybrid.

Why did they change from the symbol of rebellion while looking incredibly hot to bloated fish people? your choice whether to give the right answer or the absurd answer. :p

When you pick your ranger, it should be based on your concept and how it is interpreted, with the ability to support it. for example Dex/Con - Gritty outlaw, parkour bandit, long-distance runner of Sherwood - Kevin Costner’s or Errol Flynn interpretation of Robin Hood. This also covers the 4e...

I created a Fate fugitive where a ghost or other spectre is turned into a semi-physical form and therefore a viable PC. They retain many of their ghostly characteristics, but are "freed" from their tale and given free will. Which ghosts throughout various tales would you want to see turned...

I was listening to reading the dm aloud and he did bring up something that I hadn't realized Short stories really aren't a thing anymore. Most of my favorite writers usually start with them before they ended up writing their opus that made them famous. so I'm asking what are your favorite...

I'm having a blast reading about how King Rufus kept getting pwned by the Welsh. How did they do it, and how would it translate to your dnd game?

I like the codes of older modules. However, they range from well-organized to "let's throw a letter from the alphabet." so I'masking How would you do it if you had a chance to change the module numbering? How would you do it in your own game?

aka give me your class, species then your rant. then your theme song as you walk down towards the squared circle/dungon. :D

I have always considered doing a parody of "In Search of," in which the party runs into a legendary character from previous editions. For example, with Fzoul being turned into Bane's chosen and then dying and becoming a demigod in the aftermath, my thought was to make him reincarnate so he...

Inspired by the saying that every city is a theme park, every tavern/inn should have a feeling that reflects the location and the popular character. Fast food franchises, for example, reflect this. Can you imagine going into a tavern and finding it suspiciously familiar to a 1970s McDonald's...

Inspired by "the forgotten realms is mostly forgotten in 5e" comments in another thread. ********************************************************************** Pocgamer convinced me a long time ago that using Semphar as a focal point in the realms gives you a good sandbox with many options...

Building too many cities (and watching Pointy Hat) hit the nail on the head. All Cities are theme parks. I've been lucky that most of my work is based on reinterpretations of real cities, so they already have their own unique qualities. ex. Ed-town is Edmonton is what if it was a heavy...

One of the things I love about the 2nd edition PHB is the use of examples from myth and fiction for each class. So I'm asking. Does it hold up in later editions, and whom would you add as a paragon of each class?

It makes a compelling case. Does this happen in your game?
