    D&D General Liquids in Bag of Holding or Portable Hole?

    How does the inside of a Bag of Holding (BoH) work in reference to placing something that can be spilled inside? Say someone wants to place a pot of stew or pail of paint or such that does not have a lid on it inside? Does the inside topple over and spill things out if the PC slings the bag...

    How long before you tire of a thread here?

    Sometimes I see the same threads over and over for days and weeks. They keep popping up after I thought it was beaten enough. Some I find stay relevant like the one about memes and the other about people dying. Others I find that I stop looking at them after a point. It might not be a post...

    D&D General What modules have you reused for multiple campaigns

    A spin-off on the thread about what modules you have run multiple times. Maybe you had a modules you run through or just used for parts, but you continued to use it for another campaign or more than one. I think I have used the Lost Mines of Phandelver (LMoP) box set for 4 campaigns. The town...

    Missing players and other players running their PCs

    I was going to post in another thread about groups size, but think this is its own thread. If a player cannot show up to play the game, do other players use their character? How do you do this? Does the DM keep the character sheets or a copy and the players get them back if/when they show up...

    Playing with the pop-up ads again?

    Checking to see if someone is playing with the adds in the display. Today both at work and now at home I have the bottom banner grow jumbo and take up half the page or even make something I need to click to close in the middle of the page. Trying not to complain, but if this is the new look...

    D&D General Introducing henchmen and followers to players/PCs?

    Basic question on how do people introduce followers such as henchmen to the party. Is it something the DM should dangle and the players take if wanted or leave things to the players to make the henchmen? In my campaign, I have the party at level 8 and they want to establish a stronghold of...

    D&D General PCs jumping to other campaigns/DMs

    The other thread about PCs becoming NPCs after the player stopped playing or the group started another campaign got me to this thought. Would you allow Pcs to play in other games/campaigns with other DMs and come back? I see on one hand where my group played in a series of rotating DMs for...

    D&D 5E Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    I was doing some prep work and came across this monster/NPC statblock listed for a NPC in the game. It is from the Monsters of the Multiverse MotM) book and I see that casting is moved to the Actions section where weapon attacks are generally, but I wanted to focus on the Arcane Burst feature...

    Great Scott, not another movie

    Drolling around You Tube and saw a trailer about this movie. Is there nothing original? Although, it does look rather good.

    D&D General Character named after someone more famous.

    Another thread got me thinking of some of my old characters and who they were named after. Thought other might like to post. My brother had a dwarf in the basic/1e days named after the wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. He was just named Snuka but everyone knew. Much later I recall a...

    D&D 5E Greater Invisibility and Flanking?

    Had a situation come up last night with a PC using greater invisibility attacking a monster. Another PC came over to attack the same monster and wanted to flank. My first thought was that the second PC could not see the first PC, so no flanking bonus. A player argued that the monster is...

    D&D 5E Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Q3

    So, finally some information on this new campaign coming out in Q3 this year. I cut and pasted most of the below from here, but it looks like it is what is in the general release. The next Dungeons & Dragons adventure will pay off a story hook teased in multiple campaigns over the course of...

    10pm, do you know where your bots are?

    I just seem to notice the 10pm is when the bots post crap threads and college clicks in Chinese. Not sure when this happens in your world, but the mods do a good job of clearing them up. Thank you

    D&D Movie/TV Dungeons & Dragons movie prescreening for Amazon Prime members March 19th

    I saw this just now after watching a movie. Not sure if other movies do this and to how much, or if they are pushing this movie more. Amazon Prime members in the United States can buy tickets to join the adventure on Sunday, March 19. The one-day screening will take place at 2:00pm local time...

    A Meme thread as a break from the torches and pitchforks.

    Just funny memes from the last week instead of all the other stuff.

    D&D General Thank you Moderators

    Just wanted to say thank you to the mods on this site for the last week(s) of activity and how things are being handled. Seems like the site is in overdrive with threads and posts about the Apocalypse of Destruction raining down from the Heavens. All the mods deserve a thank you for your work...

    Christmas Music

    I like Christmas Music, a bit more than my wife and others that I know, but wanted to get a feel of what people here think. November 1st came and no radio station in my area is playing Christmas music. I'm guessing one will start in a couple weeks and the rest will start to follow soon after...

    D&D 5E Using updated Exhaustion rules in Halloween 1-shot

    I'm going to run a Halloween 1-shot with some undead and such but wanted to give the final encounter some more drama. I was thinking a disease, but need it to mean something in the moment and not in 1d4 days or such. I was thinking of using the new, proposed Exhaustion rules where you get a -1...

    DART asteroid impact

    By now I just spent 40 minutes watching a tiny dot on TV turn into a large asteroid and have a satellite crash into it. Scientists have developed this test to see if they can divert threat asteroids that may hit the Earth like in the movies. Not sure why I found this so fascinating. It is the...
