How many conventions (comic book conventions, gaming conventions, cosplay conventions, stamp collecting conventions, whatever) did you go to in the last twelve months? Vote for the option that best describes your Convention Cred. And for extra Cred(it), post more details and photos in the...

I was reading a thread about narrative choices in tabletop games, and it made me curious about a particular type of narrative choice: the random encounter. Do you use them in your game? Are you comfortable letting the dice decide the party's conflicts and challenges for the day? Do you scipt...

I was scrolling around EN World (like one does), and came across an interesting thread about Dragonborn: folks were discussing whether or not Dragonborn should/could have tails, and wings, and other draconic features. Well, I guess most people might not find that interesting, but I do. Ever...

It's a simple question: do you think ghosts are real? For the sake of this very simple poll, we will use this definition of the word "ghost" from the Merriam-Webster dictionary: "ghost (n)., a disembodied soul; especially the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant of the unseen...

Which fry is the best? Which chip is champion? Vote for the best option on the list According To You, and leave a comment below if you would like to add any other nuance. And if I missed your favorite, let me know and I'll add it to the list! (Tots, crisps, hash browns, and other...

Post a selfie! Any selfie will do: funny ones, fabulous ones, funky ones, freaky ones... All selfies are welcome (except the ones that might violate the site rules, but you already knew that. Right?)

I thought it would be fun to have a little creative exercise here in the forums. The idea is simple: design a fun and flavorful magic item for the 5th Edition D&D game that gives your character a cantrip in exchange for an attunement slot. Other abilities and features are also welcome, of...

I did not see that coming. Wow. (I'm a huge fan, and I can't wait to see where they take it next season. So. Many. Quesions.)

(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...
