My 13 year old son has taken a liking to the idea of being a DM. He wanted to fully run Icespire Peak by himself for me as a solo PC with a sidekick that he controls, so we started late last week and have run a couple of the quests. We ran 2 of the starter quests so far, and these quests would...

My now 13 year old son has been playing D&D on and off since the Next playtest. He's played in some games I've run for friends my age, he's played in a few games with his sister, and he's played once or twice with some of his friends. He's shown an interest in being a DM at times, and I helped...

My soon to be 13 year old son has been playing 5E with me in one of my games at least since the Next Playtest. He's also really into Stranger Things, so of course for his 13th Birthday, he got the Stranger Things Starter Set. His copy has all of the pages in the rulebook out of order. For...

I'm taking my family on a trip to New York this coming week. We'll be in Queens. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good gaming store around there that sells D&D and Warhammer stuff.

My DMing experience mostly lies in the 1983 Red Box set, 5E, and some other RPG systems. With AD&D, I played 2E as a player, but not 1E. I know that the 2E PHB has some differences from 1E, but it was largely the same game. I've heard it said several times that the 1E DMG is a great source of...

I'm going to run a game for a new group, in addition to the HotDQ game I've been running for awhile. This new group consists of 4 players - 2 adults plus a 13 year old and an 11 year old. They are big fans of Stranger Things and want something that feels like the show. 1 of the adults has played...

Having started with the 1983 Red Box Basic, and then mostly playing 2E before 5e, it won't surprise you that I often think healing in 5E is a little too easy for my taste. However, we generally stick to the core rules and have been using standard Long Rest healing. I have been thinking about...

I've been playing D&D since the early 80s, but I also enjoy collecting fantasy related stuff. I'm curious how many others are also collectors, and how many are more just interested in the game itself. For me, with D&D, I fall somewhere in between. I definitely buy more than just the basic core...

Here's your chance to be a part of March Madness, D&D Style. WotC has put up a bracket to vote for your favorite monsters to see who is the last standing. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/monsters-brackets

This weekend I'm going to be doing a game night with a different group than I usually DM for. We'll be playing board games (Space Hulk, Castle Ravenloft, etc.), but it was brought up that some of the players would possibly like to do a one-off game of D&D using characters they have from Dark...

I have a player who is fairly new to D&D (she's been playing since the playtest). During the playtest, she created an elf fighter who's primary weapon was a longbow, and she really enjoyed playing her. Once we'd finished a short campaign and the final game rules were released, that group created...

The latest DnD podcast contains the pilot episode of a D&D radio show that was created in the early 80s. It obviously never became a thing, but it's interesting to see that it was considered. Here's a link to the podcast. The actual radio show pilot starts around 25:00...

I was trying to report a spam thread that appeared over night. I accidentally reported my own post instead. When I did this, I first got a message saying that I had been banned, with a ban lift date of "never." Several minutes later, I was able to start reading and posting again, but my post...
