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

    5E vs R5E? 'R' Meaning revised. Just a thought.

    Wow. I would be very disappointed as a player. Thanks for the info.

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    It's been a while since I've read those class descriptions. Remind me what a Knight of the Rose gets that's worth giving up spell access? Is it at-will powers?

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    I've read both of those before and do find them interesting. Never seen either in practice though. Given the lack of higher level abilities for the regular thief, I've wondered about the Thief-acrobat being folded into the Thief, but only if single classed (getting the benefits of both). I...

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    All good points. So the answer is "no one has bothered as it's not worth doing". Great. Do you know of anyone doing something like it, but not completely borked? A "start as one class, become another, then finally get access to a super class layered on top" type of thing that's not the bard...

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    It may not be your intent but you're coming off rude with talk like this. There are multiple 1E retro-clones out there. The authors often interpreting the rules differently. I find it interesting to compare them. I'm not even asking for house-rules to use, just attempts at more clear Bard...

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, I meant someone would make those decisions. If multiple people had done that and come up with different results that could be compared, even better.

    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    Has anyone ever made an attempt to re-write the 1E Bard to make sense? Not the alternate classes, but a real attempt at making the "proto-prestige" class work?

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Is this the longest thread in the history of ENWorld?

    Thanks. So it has been around for longer than I thought.

    D&D General 1s and 20s: D&D's Narrative Mechanics

    Which versions of D&D gave extra weight to nat 1s and 20s, and which versions did not?

    D&D General What Does New Coke Tell Us About Designing for D&D

    I could go for a Slurm Classic.

    D&D 5E (2024) How balanced would be this feat?

    Are monkey's known for wielding large weapons in a single hand?

    D&D General Race Has No Mechanics. What do you play?

    Alright, if there's no mechanical differences, then the party will consist of: A Carebear Fighter A Cthulhu Cleric A Bumblebee (the insect, not the Autobot) Rogue A Godzilla Bard A Can-of-beans Wizard Mechanically, they're all humans, but lore-wise the players could still argue that they...

    D&D General What is your personal Appendix N?

    Some people have an appendix n so large it needs to be removed, or else it will burst!

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Since Shakespeare's Star Wars is a thing, perhaps someone should come out with Shakespeare's Conan.

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    I know AI art is a thing. Will there be worry of AI authors? Publishers just telling it to gives them a new book in the style of [insert author here] and then they sell it to the masses?

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    I never once picked up a book, saw the author was female, and put it back. The books I have read in the past were often suggested by other readers of fantasy I know. Some of my fellow nerds in high school were young women, and they still pointed me to books written by men. The few female...

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was specifically talking about fantasy authors. Not all books I've ever read. Most of the books I had to read for school were female authors. My question was about female fantasy authors writing about male protagonists that are described in the "rough and rugged" way...

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    38. I read a lot more as a teen, but it was mostly mythology books, and a few door-stopper fantasy and sci-fi series. (Wheel of Time was my favourite for a long time) Then there was an almost ten year gap where I was focused more on video games and read almost nothing. George RR Martin got...
