    D&D General There seems to be three types of classes in DND.

    classes built to have many ideas in them with wide possible implementation. classes that are more limited in scope but need a full class budget to work like paladins. classes that rationally should be subclasses of something but no one seems to know what? whatever we have decided ranger is...

    D&D General what environments feel lacking in nice people?

    I have a strange desire to do some remixing of what environments are associated with the more or less good guys and bad guys, and then I remembered I am dumb. so anyway what are the bad-guy themed environments as my mind has decided to betray me once again?

    D&D General elf definition semantic shenanigans

    in a different thread, it came up that defining the fantasy peoples of DND seems to be hard thus making certain what an elf is difficult let alone the less common options. so I decided that we should discuss what each of the next blocks of phb handbook options as soon as someone tells me them as...

    D&D General what are druids?

    serously what are they supposed to be? how are you supposed to role-play something which is so vague as to what it even is? how do you build them into a setting if they are so little descriptive? I get they are to do with nature and turn into animals but it seems lacking in function? how do...

    D&D General cooler dragon themes?

    look we all agree different breath weapons are great but the core two groups of dragons are boring past that and feel dull beyond good and evil which they do not do very well. past some cool horn/crest and wing designs they also feel too similar the metallic colours suck and the chromatics have...

    D&D General why are dwarves harder to think of varients for?

    it occurred to me when contemplating on making a cooler setting of the triumvirate of nearly omnipresent options dwarves seem to all end up sort of clones of each other and this bugged me thus I am making this thread. elves I swear you find a new hill and you will find a new varient. orc do...

    D&D General what stranger stuff is there for settings?

    as a hypothetical what is there that could be taken for inspiration that has not been worn into the ground yet for setting design? as we fear more sameyness but figuring out what we can take inspiration from and in what ways could show us what else a setting could be? old wired fiction gave us...

    D&D General have we had a player race of undead?

    I do not mean in the sense of a prestage class or something nor that is an undead of another sapient population. a life form that is undead from birth to death that is effectively an undead species? as that seems sufficiently out there and fantasy for it to be worth a shot?

    do we have a what have you watched thread?

    as we seem to have one for every other topic and when it comes down to the stuff we are less likely to hear about it might be nice to have a thread for it as I have seen a south Korean film and I wish to talk about it?

    D&D (2024) why are spell schools and what should they be?

    in my other thread, I wondered why subclasses the wizard should have and one thing kept coming up the school specialist and it occurred to me that I do not get why we have the schools of magic, like what are they? why do we have the schools of magic? and what ones should we have as they feel...
