Here are links to the discussions here on ENWorld. Based on the list to the left of the home page, these are the WotC D&D books coming out through the rest of 2025. In short, which ones of these are you excited for? Share in the thread why? https://www.enworld.org/events/dragon-delves.33/...

The top line is of course the Best Novel, and the second line is the Novella. But check out the Series nominees. Fun fact (as you'll see in the wikipedia link) Seanan McGuire has been nominated for Best Series SEVEN TIMES (out of nine); and not yet won. I don't think this will be the year either...

Over here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/wizards-of-the-coast-is-hiring-a-d-d-worldbuilder.711451 They are hiring. If you were the one hired, what would be the first or maybe the first few things you would do?!? Let's keep it positive and creative, shall we?

Inspired by another thread, I just had a thought about a "city" campaign, that takes place in a bunch of cities. The party start as a bunch of Rat Catchers - yes, just like a Warhammer Fantasy campaign; but are quickly noticed by the "Custodians Guild" for their skills. The Custodians Guild of...

I was born on March 7, 1966. Are you older or younger? 50% chance one in 25 of you has the exact same month and day birthday as me (although the chance we were born on the same day back in 1966 is probably pretty slim) Apparently not much happened on the day I was born, and besides me not very...

https://whatever.scalzi.com/2024/07/22/when-hugo-nonsense-is-handled-right/ I appreciate Scalzi's analysis, and good on the Glaswegians for handling well. (Also dope-ass shoulder plaid)

So 5.24 is coming soon. How are your tables going to handle it? I've got multiple games of 5e in flight, two as a player, two as a DM. As a player, I'll roll with whatever the DM wants. Currently, I've got no opinion; I'll play the old rules or the new, whichever they want. I know the newer DM...

A thing that takes up rent-free space in my brain: portal fantasy RPG. More at the campaign level than at the design level. Today’s tenant - the players start off as Young Offenders (the term of art for the PCs) in a Misspent Youth game, fighting against the Authority in a near future...

tl;dr Some nominees were marked as "not eligible" because North American Hugo award administrators pre-caved to what they thought the Chinese govm't might do https://file770.com/the-2023-hugo-awards-a-report-on-censorship-and-exclusion/ Comments on Scalzi’s blog are interesting. A) At next...

I thought people here might be interested in this. A collection of all the entries in the Jennell Jaquays memorial jam https://crowdfundr.com/perinthos?ref=ab_8hvUKDyp9Zd8hvUKDyp9Zd

Over here, we're talking about campaigns in a nutshell https://www.enworld.org/threads/campaigns-in-a-nutshell-adventures-in-a-sentence.102706/post-9262064 But I was thinking - campaigns inspired by songs! Song lyrics or the music or whatever. Doesn't have to be one you've already run, although...

For those who have been keeping up with the playtest materials - what will the impact of 1D&D be on 3PP material? I know WotC has promised to make 1D&D backwards compatible with their own stuff; but they can't ensure it's compatible with the loads of Third Party Publisher (3PP) material that's...

Thinking about running Arden Vul in 4e. Why? Well, I'm almost done re-reading the 4e PHB1 and after the massive "appreciate 4e on its own terms" I've decided to come back to it again with my two sons. They were the ones who I ran the first half of the first adventure in the Scales of War...

https://jdcspot.blogspot.com/2024/01/criminal-rpg-activity-chapbook.html Funny stuff here, but also thought-provoking Captures some of the many perspectives I have heard in the discourse about railroading. The question for you dear judge - which "railroading" crimes are the most heinous? And...

In this recent post by Trilemma Adventures creator Michael Prescott he muses about how for some rules the incentives are all wrong, so no wonder we just ignore those rules. Why would any player track encumbrance when the best outcome is "no change" and the worst is a decrease in your overall...

[updated this to discuss 1st Ed AD&D art] Share your favorite Classic D&D art!

If you live in Cary NC or nearby, you could do worse than visit this estate sale this weekend... Tons of early Dragon Mags, a Dieties and Demigods (don't know if it has Cthulhu/Melnibonean or not), Fiend Folio, AD&D Monster Manual, and so much more. And if you like vinyl music, wow. A couple...

When I first saw this thread title, I thought it was talking about how we organize our RPG books and files And while an interesting discussion, not what I was expecting. So now, here's the thread about what I was expecting! I'll start with an interesting link to a study done by YouGov...
