My other, light-hearted thread has brought something to my attention. While the Player's Handbook has a few methods for generating characters, some of y'all have very strong opinions about which one of them should be used! So I thought I'd do a follow-up poll to measure the popularity of each...

Assuming you are creating a new character, and assuming that you DO roll your stats, and assuming you DID roll a nat-3... ...what is your initial reaction? I'll add more options as I think of them (and as people start commenting.) This is just for fun, nobody panic!

For those of us who observe Christmas and/or decorate a Christmas Tree, what do you put on top of it? Is it an Angel? Perhaps it's a Bow? Maybe you have a Glass Finial? Or a Hat? Is it jolly ol' Santa? Or a frosty ol' Snowman? Is it the classic Star? Do you leave your tree...

Help me settle a bet. Do you observe the Thanksgiving holiday? For the purpose of this poll, "observe Thanksgiving" means doing something special or out-of-the-ordinary specifically because of the holiday. Maybe you are going to enjoy a traditional dinner with family and friends, maybe...

Can anyone recommend a good Lolth or Drow-themed adventure path? I'm looking for a series of fun adventures that feature spiders, Lolth, dark elves, The Underdark, and all that creepy goodness. I'm especially interested in something that will keep my players occupied for about a year, and gain...

Quick PSA: this thread for discussing, promoting, and sharing our favorite webcomics. If you just want to share a funny comic you found, it might be a better fit over in the D&D Memes thread. Also, many webcomics out there are NSFW and may contain material not suitable for all...

It's my lucky day! I get to have steak for dinner! I don't get to eat steak very often, for two reasons. First, beef steak is high in cholesterol, and I'm supposed to limit my intake of the stuff. And second, steak is expensive...especially when it's prepared by a chef in a high-end...

Last weekend, I sat in on my nephew's D&D game, and noticed they were using a house-rule I've never seen before. I thought I'd share, and see what everyone else thought of it. First, a bit of background. My nephew and his friends have an after-school game every Friday. He's the DM, and there...

(Required Listening) I was reading through a bunch of threads over the weekend (writer's block, ugh), looking for inspiration for my next D&D campaign. I noticed that "the end of the world" is a very popular plot device: sometimes the heroes have to stop the end of the world, sometimes they...

I asked ChatGPT, "In Dungeons & Dragons, what is the most common cause of death for Artificer characters?" It returned the following result: Then I repeated the question for all of the other character classes: I don't know how YOU feel about A.I., but I think it's a glorified...

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...
