    D&D General Why did you have to cancel/reschedule your most recent session?

    Two players tested positive for Covid this week.

    D&D 5E How many times in an adventuring day does your party spellcaster cast a cantrip spell?

    20+ My players are always using Prestidigitation, Thaumaturgy, Druidcraft, Message, and Dancing Lights to chew the scenery and do minor stunts. And don't get me started on Guidance.

    D&D General My player did the bag of holding + portable hole thing and got sucked into the Astral Plane. Where is he?

    True. I'm not sure it is even possible for a Githyanki to deliver an egg on the Astral, unless it was done as a cesarean. I suppose it's possible for high ranking Githyanki who do not want their children to grow and become a liability, but also don't want to just dispose of them, to keep some...

    D&D General New Ravenloft Novel Heir of Strahd Coming Soon

    "I'm not sure Barbarian really fits the mystery solving vibe." "Lemme at 'em! Lemme at 'em!"

    D&D General New Ravenloft Novel Heir of Strahd Coming Soon

    Honestly yeah. Scooby Doo and the Curse of Strahd could be a whole cartoon season, a trade paperback, or short adventure for new players with pre-generated characters. "Fine, your party can have multiple Scoobys!"

    D&D General New Ravenloft Novel Heir of Strahd Coming Soon

    A night in Strahd's Castle. Through the Svalich Woods.

    D&D General New Ravenloft Novel Heir of Strahd Coming Soon

    "Alpha, Strahd's escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude." "We've got the red ranger, the blue ranger, the yellow ranger, the black ranger, and the drow ranger!" "Drow rager."

    D&D (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    You know what lore bugs me? How Gale in BG3 apparently slept with Mystra, despite this incarnation of Mystra never demonstrating the slightest inclination to behave like Mystra 1.0. Yes, Midnight does have the combined memories of all incarnations of Mystryl, Mystra, and herself right now... but...

    D&D 5E Why Did You Take That Level of Fighter?

    I'm in complete agreement with you on this. Totally Not A Fighter as presented by @CleverNickName is a genuinely hard choice for me. It's strong enough I would give it serious consideration, where many feats I simply wouldn't consider at all. I get 10 levels to work with, but only 2-3 feats, so...

    D&D 5E Why Did You Take That Level of Fighter?

    I'm willing to trade a level. :p

    D&D 5E Why Did You Take That Level of Fighter?

    Armor Proficiency and Constitution Saves. And I took it as my 1st level to get those. If it's good enough for Strahd von Zarovich, it's good enough for me!

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    The general position of WotC is that nothing before 2014 is canon. I have no idea if this means the 2014 Marilith is just as canon as the new Marilith, but it does imply something about any Marilith art prior to 2014. Or any other monster art, for that matter. Of course, I have no intention...

    D&D General My Requirements to Run a 1-20 Adventure.

    There's room for both. If you've got a passionate GM who is running an amazing game for free, go for it! If another GM is doing a great job and you feel like chipping in some way (a $20, pizza, a book, etc) that's great too! I don't think any option should be demonized. I wouldn't hold it...

    D&D General My Requirements to Run a 1-20 Adventure.

    I never had a problem finding people willing to pay. I honestly pay more than that to Patreon to support artists I love every month. The real problem I had was vetting players, because a paid spot brings a lot of expectations, entitlement, and potentially toxic behavior that even a decent...

    D&D General My Requirements to Run a 1-20 Adventure.

    I cannot agree with you more. Modules are great for those who like them, but I can literally create a campaign faster than I can memorize a module unless I'm just running the module blind, which I would never do in the first place. The encounters I create will be better tuned for the way I run...

    D&D General My Requirements to Run a 1-20 Adventure.

    $20 USD per player per session is pretty standard. You can run the same session a few times a week with different players, too. The main problem is vetting players for a looooong time until you've got a nice stable of regulars. Even with heavy vetting things are still going to be rough for a...

    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    Pale Night is famous for her children, but as a Demon Lord and an Obyrith she is the furthest thing from any standard.
