For a few months now I've been using ChatGPT to fill out and expand upon my homebrew campaign setting to get some extra ideas and scenario hooks. One of the things I miss from the 3rd edition and Pathfinder days was templates. It feels weird that 5th edition doesn't use anything like that. With...

As I have said numerus times, my group and I are coming back to D&D with the new 2024 version of the rules. So far I have kept it to just material from the new version because I read a fair bit about how a lot of 2014 material wasn't fully compatible or balanced with 2024. I'd like to add some...

Quick question... In the new 2024 Monster Manual the Wight entry has a Life Drain attack. It says that it deals damage and the target's hit point maximum drops by an equal amount. However, it doesn't say how this is overcome. I couldn't see anything in the spells section that gives a way to...

Hey all. I'm hoping that you good folks can help myself and one of my players out. My first 2024 campaign is in it's third month now (they are almost 5th) and one of the players initially asked to play a Kitsune since I do have a Asian themed continent off to the West for anyone who wanted to...

So a question came up in our 2024 game tonight and we weren't sure of the correct answer and we couldn't find it anywhere obvious in the new PHB. The party Rogue just took SoulKnife as his subclass, so he generates psychic blades that deal psychic damage. Does the sneak attack damage become...

Firstly, apologies if this is a topic that has been asked previously or covered somewhere on these here forums, but I've searched and found nothing. Hopefully though, you can shed some light on our query. So, in a couple weeks I start to run my first D&D campaign in 1 years (we skipped 4th and...

So... coming back into D&D 5 with the new 2024 release and I'm using the old Bard's Gate city setting from Necromancer Games as my base for future campaigns. The world will expand as we create it going forwards. In Bard's Gate there are numerous guilds that characters can join. Pay you dues and...

Hi all. I am looking for a D&D campaign running 1st through 20th. Something similar to Paizo's adventure paths (PF1 is our usual game of choice). Everywhere I look there is nothing. It seems campaigns for D&D5 are really short or everyone is just running individual adventures. Any suggestions...

Yesturday I picked up my copy of the RotRL anniversary book. I'm curious as to whether Paizo is going to be releasing the other APs in this format? Thanks.

Might seem like an odd question but, over the run of 3.X D&D you could search Google and find hundreds of homebrew campaign settings that people had created. I always liked reading them and hunting for ideas. Haven't done that for a while but recently did a look and there are one or two and...

A question has come up at tonights game. A character has a dex of 9 and thus a -1 modifier. His normal AC without armour is thus 9. His touch is also 9 bit how does this ability affect his flat footed AC? Is the penalty ignored thus making his FF higher than his normal AC? This seems odd and we...

Anyone have this source book and what did you think of it? I've put an order in with my local store for it but I'm curious what others opinions.

This is a topic that came to mind a few nights ago and I would like to see other people's thoughts and opinions. I'll be referencing D&D 3.X and Pathfinder mainly but it can apply to any fantasy RPG. When I started with basic (red box) D&D and 1st edition AD&D my friends and I never saw the...

Silly question but when a "cure X" scroll or potion is made does the creator add the caster level bonus to it as they would when casting a cure spell?

The Ultimate Magic spell Create Demiplane has as part of it's effect "up to ten 10-ft cubes/level (S)." What does the S represent? One of my players thinks it means squared, so the plane has to be a cube. I have never seen squared represented by an S though.

In my Pathfinder game last week one of the characters stumbled upon a Basilisk lair and was promptly turned to stone. Thankfully, the party had an oil of stone to flesh found in a prior adventure and the character was restored after the combat. However, it made me ponder something that I hadn't...

Serious topic, though it may sound silly. Does this happen to anyone else out there or is just me and the groups I play with? Almost every fight (and I've kept logs just to prove to myself that I'm remembering it once in a blue moon) at least one opponent, usually more than one, ends up being...

Way back under 2nd edition AD&D I ran a game where the characters became local lords and such. I had an issue of Dragon magazine that had rules for running small kingdoms and a monthly events table. Was a really good campaign. With everyone in my current Pathfinder group motivated by the Game...

Greetings fellow forumites. I would like to raise an issue that has come up in the Pathfinder game in which I play. The thief is always getting notes passed to him by the DM and I'm convinced that one of the other players is getting preferential treatment. I've attempted to bribe the DM week...

Hi guys. I'm having an early spring clean and tidy arond the house and I've decided to sell the 3.x books that I have no need for any more. I really just want to get rid of them so hopefully there will be something for your interest. Items Gone. I will ship happily to US and Europe for the...
