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?

I have been on a Dwarvern Fortress kick lately. It's incredible how much detail there is in what is essentially a fortress simulator followed by shenanigans. What can your Dungeons and Dragons edition game use to give it this flavor?

Let's figure out what can be done without magic as a baseline. Then, add the standard stuff and see how it develops.

One of the most interesting things in medieval history is the feuding popes where you have two different people declaring this as the supreme divine figure. How could this used in your game?

In a fantasy world ravaged by powerful magic, the remnants of civilization now exist as dungeons. Players will take on the roles of "dungeon dwellers" who explore these once-thriving areas to uncover their secrets, navigate challenges, and reclaim what was lost. Potential locations include, but...

Beware the Ides of March: Celebrating the Spirit of the Day! This is your one-stop shop for everything Roman and March Ides-related. So let's start with a classic. Rinse the Blood off my Toga

I just finished compiling my fantasy heartbreaker (elderberry tales for those who are interested, private message me for a link) and was talking to the great Sam Dilion, and he posted this after telling him that you can fight carnivorous Snails: "Carnivorous snails? Why would I smite those...

A classic trope is when our plucky adventurers are shrunk to fun size and must deal with the consequences. Have you ever shrunk the party? How has it changed the dynamics? Who does it in DND (and which editions do it best?), and what monsters would you throw at them and how?

My gaming group meets on the day this year so looking for any and all ideas. :D
