From my understanding (which could be wrong), armor class derived from some naval wargame and is descending because, in OD&D, it is a "static" value which depends only on armor and shield and, thus, it is an indicator in which lower numbers represent a better "class" of armor. This makes sense...

This thread appears to behave strangely. There are no replies, even though I was sure I had previously read some. Also, it seems "stuck" at the top of the thread list. EDIT: I see now that it has a date in the future.

A friend of mine recently asked me to run a short adventure with the new version of the rules. He only played D&D (and RPGs in general) once - for a few sessions - some 7 years ago. His interest has recently been rekindled and he would like to play with his 14 years old nephew and 1-2 of his...

The alternate cover for the new Player's Handbook was originally slated for release on September the 17th, together with the standard cover. Due to distribution issueS, the release was later officially delayed for a month to October the 18th. After reading about the availability issues in New...

Mongoose Publishing has announced that it has acquired the Twilight: 2000 and 2300AD roleplaying games. This closely follows August's announcement that the company had acquired the rights to Traveller from creator Marc Miller. Twilight: 2000, originally published in 1984, is a post-apocalyptic...

Assuming you are going to buy at least one of the 2024 core books for D&D, which version are you going to pick? I made a + thread because this is not about whether the revision is good or not or whether you are going to buy it or not.

I've read some scattered mention of the news and I looked him up on Linkedin. He states that he's a former Executive Producer for D&D. Does anyone know more?

I think it was Tasha that introduced the concept of having limited features that can be used a number of times per day equal to the proficiency bonus. This went on for a while, but it seems to me that the idea has been completely dropped for the 2024 revision. Was there ever some discussion from...

Has anything been said about the old version of the rules on DDB? I'm assuming that the old core manuals won't be available for purchase, but will they be treated as legacy content like some other manuals? That would seem, at least to me, reasonable, but the core manuals (especially the PHB) are...

I haven't seen this posted, so I'm sharing the trailer for the second season of Arcane. I absolutely loved the first season, so I'm quite looking forward to it.

I haven't seen this posted and it might be of interest. D&D Beyond as published the D&D schedule at GenCon. In particular, there are several panels that might be interesting. D&D Live! Saturday, August 3 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. (doors at 7:00 p.m., show starts at 8:00 p.m.) Indiana Roof...

So, which are the platforms where one can get access to digital versions of TSR/WotC D&D? D&D Beyond (owned by WotC) sells all of 5e materials. DM's Guild (part of Drivethru) sells a huge selection of PDFs of older editions and, in several cases, POD versions as well Roll20 sells 5e materials...

The Book of Many Things contains the feat Cartomancer. It has two features. The first one is straightforward (it grants the Prestidigitation cantrip and you can use it to perform "stage tricks"), the second one is less clear to me. How does that work exactly? AFAIK, imbue is not a "term of...

As a sort of a spin-off from the mothballing thread... what is your personal opinion about the pace of releases for D&D 5e? I'm not asking about whether it is good or bad from the point of view of sales, but how do you feel about it as a customer and as a player.

I've just received an email for a poll on DDB. I found it interesting. I was asked about new material to release apart from the books (presumably it would all be digital). They asked about stuff like sound effects, art, how-to guides, new rules, new monsters, lore drops, short adventures, short...

Just a random idea that came into my mind on a Saturday night... Next year, as we all know, will be D&D 50th anniversary. If I find the time and if I can get some players onboard (two big ifs), it might be nice to run a series of short adventures, one for each edition(*) of D&D. Just wanted to...

Does anyone know what happened to this excellent tool (both for dice rolling and especially for calculating probability distributions) by Torben Mogensen? It had a dedicated webpage (which appears to be dead) with both online use and a downloadable program. I know that there are several...

In a couple of weeks I'm going to run a one-shot of Shadowdark for 4-5 players. We'll have about 4 hours in total; none of us has ever played the game but we'are all experienced with several editions of D&D. I was leaning on using the quickstart with pregens, even though I have the PDF for the...

A friend of mine, who has zero experience with RPGs, has asked some advice about her 11-years-old daughter. The daughter also has no RPG experience, but she's a fan of Stranger Things and is intrigued by D&D. The Phandelver Starter Set is apparently OOP in Italian (the girl doesn't read...
