    D&D (2024) Toward a Theory of 6th Edition

    It's rather evident to me that 6e will be about the true core of D&D: the Warlord. We'll see Warlords, Warladies, Warlads, Warlandlord, Warlalalas (for the Bard stand-in), Warlollypops, Other Warlord, Warlordier, and Warlordiest. It's the only reasonable course of action.

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    Sorry for the long delay. I lost access to my account and I hadn't changed the recovery mail since 2004! Took me months to figure how to log back in. It's not in the diagram. I set a minimum size of, I think, 100 miles (can't remember right now; I'd have to check my research notes) for objects...

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    Ohh, you are correct; it was in Firestorm Peak, not White Plume Mountain. I had my mountain-related D&D modules mixed together. I'm also pretty sure to have read about that somewhere, but when crafting the map I couldn't find the source in any of my Spelljammer or Planescape books (it's...

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    Ohh, I was under the impression that mortal worlds in the 4e cosmology were floating about in the same plane. I'll have to study the subject more closely! I totally forgot about Inphirblau and Macrocosm. They shall be added in the updated version! Thank you very much. As for the Far Realm...

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    Glad you guys enjoyed it! If you have ideas about how to improve it (there are some typos that I just noticed that will require fixing anyway), please share them! I had an earlier version that included the direction of the flow, but I ended up removing it because I couldn't find enough...

    D&D 5E Map of the Great Wheel Cosmology

    Greetings! Even though in our group we have long since moved on from AD&D 2e, we still use that edition's cosmology as our default, as I understand several other groups do as well. I made this thing (which is an update of a previous one I did a couple of years ago, posted around here somewhere)...

    If we were contacted by aliens tomorrow...

    The Mondoshawan from 5th Element seemed pretty nice, going about with their whole "Protectors of the Universe" thing without having to be insufferable like most "Protector of the Universe"-type aliens. Plus they walk really slow, so they are easy to run away from in case they get angry.

    How Old is Your Oldest Die?

    My oldest dice are from my great-great grandfather's dudo game set, a bunch of d6 from the mid-1800's. As for non-regular dice, my oldest one is a d10 from the 1993 board game Dragon Strike.

    Getting back into Magic: The Gathering after a loooong hiatus

    If someone enjoys MTG, that seems like a perfectly valid reason to play it. It doesn't mean you have to automatically dislike all alternatives; games like these are often enjoyable for a series of different elements, such as rules, flavour, playstyle, community, formats, flexibility...

    D&D 5E Life without a healer

    The campaign I'm currently DMing has an aasimar cleric as the main healer, and she's been able to handle the party's amazingly suicidal tendencies with quite the skill. However, publicly the "healer" of the group is a human sorcerer who tries to convince everyone he's a Cleric of Lathander...

    Or, you know, because one actually enjoys M:TG.

    Isolation of the Dark Sun multiverse

    I like that theory! In my games, I often put the blame on the crystal sphere itself; Athasspace is mentioned merely as a rumour in Spelljammer, so I figured maybe it was known in the past and not anymore, so perhaps something happened. The custom explanation is that the unusual nature of...

    D&D 5E what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    Ohh, so that's why the drug-sniffing blink dogs at the airport keep chasing my backpack when I travel with my AD&D books. Before disappearing, of course, because they are bloody blink dogs.

    D&D 5E what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    I always miss the magical pipe organ example from the early pages of the 2e DMG. In general, the text in those books always felt the most flavourful of the various editions to me. I also miss the page texture and smell. I'm not sure how it was on other printings (I've got the second Spanish...

    [UPDATED] Green Ronin Finds Religion In D&D 5E's BOOK OF THE RIGHTEOUS

    Though I usually either fully homebrew gods or use the setting-appropriate pantheons, this book might be a very nice addition for those times I want to run something quick and don't feel like making a whole new set of deities. And as a source for stea... inspiring stuff. None of the books I've...

    Getting back into Magic: The Gathering after a loooong hiatus

    http://www.cardkingdom.com/ is a pretty good place to get cards at reasonable prices.

    Getting back into Magic: The Gathering after a loooong hiatus

    Regarding your question, I'd totally reccommend trying a Pauper deck; they are both very cheap to make (as they only allow common cards), and have really interesting strategies available to them. TappedOut has a lot of already designed decks for this format (and for any format, really, should...

    Getting back into Magic: The Gathering after a loooong hiatus

    I have recently returned to M:TG myself as well! I played from 1996 to 2000 (roughly from Alliances to Apocalypse, but the bulk of our cards back then consisted of the Ice Age, Mirage, and Tempest blocks), and last October a friend convinced a group of us to try the waters once more for a...

    D&D 5E What is the point of material components when Wish exists?

    Because using material components doesn't involve the risk of ending up stranded in a demiplane made of mashed potatoes because the DM was having a bad day, covering the whole world in papal thrones because you "Want to see everything", or obtaining a chunk of coal with a note saying...
