(I know all character classes can use Protection scrolls; this thread is about spell scrolls.) In my last 5E game, spell scrolls were largely ignored. I'd like to make them more important and useful in my next campaign, and I think this might be a good way to go about it. What do you think...

I didn't want to derail the other thread, so I moved this comment over to its own space. Because I'm a gentleman. Here's the quote: This isn't the first time I've read this about the Twilight Cleric. There are several threads out here on EN World that just casually mention the Twilight...

How familiar are you with 5th Edition D&D's rules? How comfortable are you with tinkering around with them? Rank yourself on a scale of zero (never played 5E) to ten (I created 5E).

I was rooting around on Reddit today, and there are an above-average number of threads of people complaining about their Dungeon Master. Each thread has its own vibe, of course, but they are all saying the same things: their DM is out to get them. Refusing to allow certain rules or add-on...

What brought you to EN World this fine day? (Check all that apply.)

Once again, the discussion on the ENWorld forums has returned to Psionics. There are a lot of cool ideas, interesting points of view, and personal experiences being shared in a couple of places, and I don't want to detract from that discussion...I just want to gauge folks' interest as a whole...

Let's say your DM allows multiclassing, and at your last level-up you decided you would take advantage of that optional rule. And out of all the options at your fingertips, you went with the most common choice (according to D&D Beyond): you decided to take a level of Fighter. I'm curious...

My niece is an aspiring graphic artist, and she's slowly learning the industry (she's in high school). I'll occasionally commission her to create character sketches for my D&D characters, both to help her develop her skills/business acumen, and also because her character sketches are really...

Three years, five months, and one week ago, my gaming group rolled up brand-new 1st-level characters for my homebrew 5th Edition D&D campaign. Last Friday, their story ended. Now lately, I've noticed a lot of talk about high-level play on these forums. And for all the discussion, I get the...

If you were running (or participating in) a game this weekend, what would you run? Pick your top three, and tell us all about it.

We're ramping up for our next D&D campaign, and one of the players ("Gaelin") really wants to play the role of a werewolf. (This person is an avid hunter, and also a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls games, especially Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online, loves dogs...) So nobody was really surprised...

There's a lot of chatter in my social media feed (well, on Reddit anyway) about social media platforms. The hot topics are: TikTok possibly (likely?) getting banned in the United States, Facebook no longer doing fact-checking, and people leaving Twitter en-masse because--well, let's just say...

Here on EN World, if your D&D character dies in the middle of an adventure, it's customary to assign blame. So think back to the last time your character croaked--maybe it was years ago, maybe it was just at the last gaming session--and tell us who/what was to blame. Choose the answer that is...

He's the anti-Santa. The most famous Christmastime villain. And he's everywhere...from a silent film more than a century old, to a computer-generated fever dream, Ebeneezer Scrooge has been reborn and remade and reshaped so many times that it's hard to keep track. And now, it is time to sort...

It's time to settle an old score. An age-old rivalry. An epic battle across beloved Christmas music and television. Choose the best* one: will it be Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, or Frosty the Snowman? *Use any metric you like: tallest, most popular, personal favorite, least likely to...

My gaming group has a tradition: every year we draw names and buy Christmas gifts for each other, "Secret Santa" style. We always agree on a spending limit each year before drawing names; this year the spending range is between $30 and $40 USD. Then we exchange these gifts at our only...

I am putting this discussion in its own thread because (1) it's considerably off-topic from the thread that originally spawned it, and (2) I'm sick of seeing a certain oligarch's name. Over in that other thread, the subject of Drow came up...specifically, drow in the Mystara campaign setting...

We're wrapping up my current D&D campaign, and so the next DM in line hosted her Session Zero last night. We were given the standard ground rules for our table (5E 2014 D&D, Tasha's, Volo's, and Xanathar's are allowed, roll your stats, start at 1st level, Forgotten Realms campaign setting...

If you're like me, you think that the Dexterity stat is overused in 5E D&D. You've already heard/read the discussions: blah blah most important stat, blee bloo attacks damage armor class, blah blah. You're not interested in flogging that dead horse; you're interested in doing something about...

A bit of backstory. I'm working remotely on a construction site in Northern California at the moment. The engineering company I work for has set up a temporary field office in an old bank next to the construction site, and my workstation is about 30 feet from the bank safe. Because the office...
