Edition-agnostic question here, and answers based on different editions might be of interest. First, the background: Some years ago in my current campaign one of the PCs - a Human Fighter - suffered a mishap where pulling a card from a modified Deck of Many Things stripped away his soul but...

A group ran a 24-hour (25 because of the time change) D&D game for charity, and it got on the CBC news site... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/ You'll have to search for the article once there; if I post the whole link it doesn't work. Best - and perhaps most Canadian - of all: they...

A conversation with a friend about wealth in D&D in our games vs 5e led to this series of points and questions: Given that there really isn't much in 5e to spend money on other than relative trivialities such as inn rooms and mundane gear, and given that 5e as written places very little...

Are you as moderators able to see who has who on ignore?

To the tune of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes", this was originally written in 2009 as a response to 4e and the accompanying edition wars. Given recent developments it seems like a good time to dust it off. Beyond the horizons of the game we played when we were young Lay a world of money and...

Every now and then - each quarter, I think - someone (probably @Morrus ) used to post data in here showing what percentage of VTT games were played using what system (e.g. D&D 5e, Pathfinder, CoC, etc.), usually in a great big pie chart. I don't know what these threads were titled, and search...

Article on the main webpage of the CBC this afternoon: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/dungeons-and-dragons-resurgence-1.6525724 The Sentry Box, the gaming store mentioned in the article, has been a mainstay in Calgary for decades.

I'm toying with the idea of running Rappan Athuk, or part of it, and an curious what people's experiences have been who have run it. I'm asking about the d20-era version as that's the one I own - well, parts I and II anyway - though I'd be converting it to 1e or close. One thing I quickly...

For some reason I'm just seeing a blank where smilies and other emoticons should appear in my posts. :) :) :) The above line should consist of three 'smilies'. I'll post this then edit as to whether I can see them or not. EDIT: I cannot see them in the post, and stranger yet I can see...

In an unrelated thread @ECMO3 and I got into it a little over character individuality vs party unity; and to avoid derailing that thread any further I'll start this one instead, with a series of questions to get things going: The question is this: to what extent are PCs allowed to be...

After voting in a poll I realized the question being asked did not apply to me, so I tried to remove my vote. The only way I could think of to do this was to click "change vote" and then not enter a new vote; on clicking "change vote" my old vote disappears but when I leave the thread and...

With threads I've recently-ish looked at, clicking on the thread title in the list of threads takes me to the first unread post if there are any. With threads I haven't looked at in a while (usually necro-ed threads) clicking on the thread title always takes me to post one, and I have to jump...

Over the last few days it seems that on the thread title lists that, while the thread starter's name is still noted, the date the thread began has disappeared. Now to find if I'm looking at a new thread or an old one, I have to go in and check its first page. Any rationale for this?

Is it just me or did it used to be possible to, if one clicked the wrong box by mistake and then hit submit, change one's vote in a poll? I ask because the question's come up in this thread...

Two or three threads have recently drifted into covering very similar territory around treasure in the game, so I thought starting one just for this topic might make sense. So, treasure. Lots of questions here just to get things rolling....... How much do you-as-DM tend to give, either...

For whatever reason, in all the years I've played this game I've never gone through U1 either as player or DM. However, as I've just started a 1st-level group within my campaign, I'm thinking of running it soon; but on reading it through the other night I found myself rather underwhelmed. So...

Preamble: what I know about roll20 could fit in a thimble with space left over - I use it only because I've no other choice if I want to stay in the game I play in, and only as a player - so if this is a dumb question I apologize in advance; please humour me. :) So, for you roll20 experts out...

Another thread got me curious as to what days and-or nights people schedule their regular games. For the poll, multiple choices are allowed - this is to cover those in more than one game and also to cover those whose typical session starts during the day and runs into the evening. I leave it...

On the D&D page there's two threads "38 Year Campaign" and "D&D in the News - CNN" which are in effect the same. The latter is mine; to avoid duplication please move its content into the 38-Year thread and then delete the one I started. Thanks! :)

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/20/us/dungeons-and-dragons-longest-game-great-big-story-trnd/index.html This isn't our crew, and I'm not even sure what part of Canada he's in. Anyone here know more about this campaign?
