    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    The most recent one was in a supplemental side aventure to Descent into Avernus called Encounters in Avernus:

    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    I've had multiple cases where I was running a published adventure that called for an attack during a Long Rest. That obviously gets negated by Tiny Hut.

    D&D General They're Building A Memorial Game Table Sculpture In Honor of Gary Gygax

    Makes me wonder if they had some big-ticket donors lined up in advance. Or possibly they were out courting them while the KS was running.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    But the premise is also that the hypothetical new game is "innovative" and strays further from 2014 5E than 2024 5E does. For those who like 2014 5E, it's a confusing premise.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    5E 2014 is pretty darn close to my preferred playstyle. I can't imagine a more self-consciously "innovative" game getting closer.

    D&D General Would a feat be right for the ability to cast/use scrolls? (Nevermind)

    Is that quote from the 2014 or 2024 DMG? The 2014 rules made the distinction between "scrolls" (which anyone could read) and "spell scrolls" (which have to be on your class's spell list). But then there was only, like, one mention ever of a "scroll" (the scroll of protection). Pretty much every...

    D&D General 'Project Sigil' 3D Virtual Tabletop Finally Laid To Rest

    I always thought this was a terrible idea from the moment I heard it was going to be super-detailed graphically. It just seems to work against the imagination element of D&D. But I have sympathy for those who were excited about it.

    D&D General They're Building A Memorial Game Table Sculpture In Honor of Gary Gygax

    I stand corrected, then. Guess that is why I've seen Kickstarters withdrawn in their first week.

    I know most Kickstarters make most of their money toward the end. Maybe that will happen here?

    D&D Movie/TV Which AP show will be the first one to be on a streaming service? And how soon?

    I kinda think if this was going to happen, it already would have. I won't say it never can, but it doesn't seem likely (to me) to start soon because the zeitgeist moment has kind of passed.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I'm curious about all these unique playstyles that will soon be unplayable due to corporate greed. I'd love to hear from some of these endangered players before this valuable game lore is lost for good!

    D&D General Favorite Creepy Monster To Run?

    The comments to the post you linked have suggestions on how to make a young spiderdragon. And I found an ancient spiderdragon here:

    D&D General Where to start with Mystara?

    If you want Mystara in 5E, this fan-created guide is very thorough: https://www.enworld.org/threads/revised-mystara-players-guide-free-setting-guide-written-using-the-wotc-fan-creation-license.690286/

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    A reminder that the guidelines say 6-8 encounters, not 6-8 combats. Anything that potentially uses some limited resources (such as spell slots) can be an encounter. Also, I would bet there have been in-game days with 6-8 combats in the case of a dungeon crawl.

    D&D General Has 5e become noise?

    With the fragmentation of the market after the OGL debacle, I think you'll be seeing the number of 5E products taper off, at least somewhat.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    You're not wrong. Best way around this I can think of is to make the boss inaccessible or impossible to damage until some other threat(s) has been dealt with, effectively chaining two fights together. Bonus points if the boss can damage the party while they do this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Most of the "badwrongfun" arguments I've seen on this forum since 2014 have been complaining about 5E.

    And not infrequently also inflicting the poisoned condition. I know I've run monsters like that quite recently, though admittedly I don't remember whether they came from the official MM or not.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Not sure what you mean by this. Poisons in both the 2014 and 2024 version of 5E frequently inflict the poisoned condition, which means disadvantage on attack rolls. That is no joke.
