Back in the 80s, there was a comic book series called The Saga of Crystar: Crystal Warrior. It lasted for 11 issues and was known for having a toy tie-in. The short version is that in the kingdom of Crystalium was ruled by two princes - Crystar and Moltar. They were given a choice between...

When I was in college and first playing D&D (2nd edition), a friend of mine was playing a human psionicist named Kelson Haldane, named after a character in Katherine Kurtz' Deryni series of novels. Kelson was my intro to psionics. The player left the game and his character was said to have left...

Have any of you used the Acquisitions Incorporated book in your games? If so, how closely do you follow the lore? Do you feel that it holds up to the test of time? I'm considering using it to flesh out the background of an NPC that I may or may not use.

Late Sunday night, I heard the news that my friend Dave had passed away. Dave was part of my original college group. We played together for many years. Life took us in different directions, but we kept in contact on Facebook. In recent months, my original gaming group got back together for a...

The new Monster Manual has a githzerai psion and a thri-kreen psion, both of whom are Int-based casters. I'm really glad to see the old psion name in use again. But I have to ask... Where the hell is my psion class or subclass?!? I get it, the aberrant mind is supposed to be the psion...

I noticed that there's a new Galaxy Guide coming out in April. I kind of wonder if it will replace the Pact Worlds and Near Space books. Does anyone know anything about it beyond what is in the product description?

I'm having a brain fart. Maybe you guys can help me. In some D&D book (possibly third party), there is a section on taking some battle master fighter maneuvers and combining them with skills, feats, etc. to create archetypes. I want to say one is a gladiator.I thought it was in Tasha's or...

I dig the idea of a warlock patron granting psionic abilities, but I wish there were alternatives to having Cthulhu-like beings granting them. I'd like to come up with some alternatives. The first thing that comes to my mind, which would be great for thri-kreen, is a hive mind. It has the...

I really like the Starfinder setting, but I would prefer the idea of running it with a 5e-based system. The two I can think of right off are Dark Matter and Esper Genesis. Just curious if anyone else here has used a different system for Starfinder. What was your experience like?

Way back in 2016, WotC put out an Unearthed Arcana playtest document called The Faithful. In it was a warlock patron that was essentially a specialty priest of Celestian. This was the Seeker. Unfortunately, WotC never moved forward with that one. I'm wondering, what would it take to update...

When WotC was playtesting their psionics rules, there was an Unearthed Arcana that presented a psionics arcane tradition for the wizard. You can find it here. I played the psionics wizard for a few sessions and had fun. I would like to convert the character to the 2024 rules for fun, but one...

I've been playing a halfling aberrant mind sorcerer. He just hit level 3, and I want to multiclass into a warlock (great old one patron). Note, this is for the 2014 rules. I'm just wondering what I should keep in mind with such a combination. Thanks!

I absolutely love this piece, entitled "Adventurer" by Maxim Pakulov. Two things puzzle me about the art. 1. What class is this character? 2. Is that leather armor, or some sort of traveling clothes? What do you all think?

I am converting an old character of mine from 2e to 5e (2024) for fun (so no DM involved), but I've got a snag. The concept is that he's a beast rider. Think of a Thundercat riding Battle Cat from He-Man. He originally was a ranger in 2e and used the Beast Rider kit from the Complete Fighter's...

One thing I'm unclear on in the 2024 PHB is the types of magic in this edition. Traditionally, there have been arcane and divine, though 4e also had primal and psionic. The playtest seemed to go back and forth on primal. I'm not seeing anything that specifies. Is this something they're leaving...

Like the title says. Just curious if there would be something lacking or changed that might cause an issue. Thanks in advance.

Back in the days of 3e and 4e, there were some psionic organizations created for the Forgotten Realms setting, and a few beyond. One of my favorites was the College of the Eclipse, which was kind of THE academy for those with psionic talent. That was in the days when psionics were a separate...

The Dragonlance Nexus now has a Fantasy Grounds version of Tasslehoff's Pouches of Everything on DM's Guild! Tas' Pouches is our very own Dragonlance sourcebook and a platinum best seller on DMs Guild. If you want to incorporate this material in Fantasy Grounds, then please check it out!

Hi, I am trying to come up with stats for the magic longbow in the attached picture, but I'm drawing a blank. None of the existing 5e bows seem to fit. The image can be found on Deviant Art. Any ideas or third party bows that might do the job? Art credit: Rogier van de Beek

We've seen updates to Mordenkainen, Bigby, and Tasha in D&D 5e, but what about some of those other old famous characters, most notably members of the Circle of Eight? How would you update some of those iconic characters to 5e? Would you have any race or class changes? Or would you replace some...
