    Scientists create David Lindsay’s jale

    OK, not really. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu1052 Also they named it ‘olo’ which is way less cool than ‘jale’.

    Learning from LFR: Encounter and Monster Examples to Steal for Your Game There is much to learn from the Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) Organized Play adventures which were published over the lifespan of 4e D&D (2008-2014). My goal is to crack open some LFR adventures and to scrutinize...

    Post to existing thread brings up confirmation modal that does nothing

    Since the forum software upgrade, whenever I post to an existing thread without using the "Reply" or "Quote" function, after I submit my post, I got a confirmation modal with my post in it. That I already posted. This modal does nothing and the only interaction seems to be X / (close). My post...

    rollover menu under Community only shows partial Forum List

    I am not sure if this is intentional, or not, but the rollover menu under the Community part of the main menu only shows a partial Forum List. The rollover menu lists what is under the General Tabletop Discussion section of the full list of all forums (fora for you Latin nerds), but omits...

    Monster Catalogue vs. Monster Creation Rules (vs. Why Not Both?)

    Forked from the thread What TTRPG Is Perfect and Complete In One Volume? I wrote: @Thomas Shey responded: and @Reynard added: So, this thread's discussion topic: what's your preference? Monster Catalogue -- like the D&D monster manual, or any other game with a (relatively) large list of...

    The Silo (Apple TV)

    It’s based on the book Wool (and the sequels) by Hugh Howey. But departs substantially from the books. I binged the first season. It’s good! Although like all streaming “prestige” shows, it’s very slow in parts. Hey, no need to edit down to 42 minutes for broadcast TV, right? I do think the...

    D&D 4E Eladrin Swordmage Advance shenanigans

    (Why I am posting a 4e character optimization thread here in 2021? Because I was going through some old files, came across this, and felt the desire to share. Enjoy!) Eladrin Swordmage Advance (ESA) is a feat that allows you to make an MBA as a free action against an enemy you teleport adjacent...

    D&D 3E/3.5 seeking old thread: illithids as far-future aboleths

    Hail, old timers. I'm seeking an old thread and my search skills are have utterly failed me. The premise was, "What if illithids (mind flayers) are far-future aboleths?" Many time travel shenanigans ensued; a good time was had by all. I believe, but am not positive, that the thread starter was...

    Why are some threads highlighted in yellow?

    Why are some threads highlighted in yellow? I'm sure the answer is going to be something obvious and I'll feel stupid for asking, but at my age, I'm just glad I still remember the question I started with.

    Drunken Master-like paragon path?

    One of my players has asked for a drunken master-like paragon path. Mechanically, the character is a genasi rogue, but she's played as a libertine swashbuckler who is inebriated most of the time. The player wants her to get various boosts from the liquor she consumes, and/or sway around...

    Seeker-Ranger hybrid: +1 Dwarven Thrower vs. +2 vanilla vs. other

    Playing a 4e Seeker-Ranger hybrid using throwing weapons modeled on MwaO 's miscibility table guidebook. Using battleaxe main-hand and handaxe off-hand, so far. Currently 3rd level. Game has turned out to be extremely magic item stingy for RP reasons, so this might be the last time my character...

    Rare item selection for Avenger (Censure of Unity)

    My DM was kind enough to give each PC 'any Rare up to level 20'. But I'm suffering analysis paralysis and can't decide what to take. My character is a level 17 shadar-kai Avenger (Censure of Unity). He wields a Flail, and I am not interesting in changing this (for RP reasons), which restricts...

    Hybrid E-classes: must they take E-Encounter power?

    Hybrid Essential classes: must they take their Essentials-style Encounter power? Or can they choose an Encounter power from their parent class, even if the sub-class would never normally get real Encounter powers? The specific example I ran into is hybrid paladin (blackguard), which has this...

    3,000 posts

    Assuming I timed this right, this is my 3,000th post at EN World. Yay, me! I'm no Crothian, but 3,000 posts is still a lot of jibber jabber. :)

    SUPERB customer service from Fiery Dragon Games

    We've all got stories about lousy customer service, but I'm here to tell you about SUPERB customer service I received from Fiery Dragon Games. Since the launch of 4e D&D, I've been using Fiery Dragon's Battlebox -- especially the Condition Counters. They are little plastic bases that hold...

    flagrant min/max'ing: Rings

    My main 4e character, a 22nd level dragonborn paladin, has enough cash and favors accumulated that he can acquire several Rings. Question is, which ones? A related question: is it worth ditching his Strikeback (Encounter, make MBA when enemy hits you) to pick up the item (Many-Fingered Gloves)...

    which planar book should I buy: Manual, Below, or Above?

    I've got a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, so which of the 4e planar books should I buy? And why? Manual of the Planes The Plane Below The Plane Above I almost exclusively play Living Forgotten Realms (LFR) these days, so none of the books will have any direct use to me. But I do like...
