June 2 and June 9th. 6:15 pm EST to 10:15 pm EST (ish) Discord, Microphone, and Roll 20 required 4th Edition D&D Paging @EzekielRaiden Since we're all arguing about 4E, why don't we go play some? As you know, Enworlders are among the greatest players ever to throw the dice, so you should...

Fiction lawyering- to use the fiction in the same way a rules lawyer would use rules So Enworlders, tell me about all the times you used the fiction to pull one over your DM. Or found some strange loop hole to get what you wanted. Or used careful reasoning to discover some strange interaction...

Let's talk about ignoring rules and how great it is! Don't like a rule? Just ignore it. Great DMs have been ignoring rules for decades! Think gold for EXP is dumb? Don't do it! Hate level limits for races? Gone! Is a high level spell breaking your game? If you never cast it, does it exist? Is a...

Found something on the Youtube about getting people to play D&D. It's a song, and sponsored by WOTC to boot! It's a year old but new to us!

You know, we never talk about role playing in a MMORPG. Well let's fix that! Here are some links! Though this is mainly for Final Fantasy 14. Despite playing this a ton myself, I never really partook in this aspect of the game. Well I did a Chocobo Race before The Golden Saucer opened up...

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a fantasy manga turned popular anime. Turns out a year ago there was a character popularity poll and the Mimic got third place! Though based on my glancing, the voting system may have had some irregularities. It seems the Mimic's voting icon was wrong and that...

Quinn, one of the guys behind Shut up and Sit down, now has an TTRPG channel where he reviews TTRPGs! Huzzah! Here's the first review.

Time once again for me to present an unusual thing to you and ask what edition of D&D would best represent it! Today's thing is called, "The Book of KND." On the surface, it just appears to be a guide book on how to battle the forces of evil. It would contain all the information a kid needs to...

Now you can finally purchase D&D themed make up! Huzzah! https://www.vampyrecosmetics.com/collections/dungeons-dragons From the website: Vampyre Cosmetics is excited to announce their unprecedented collaboration with Hasbro's DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (D&D), marking the 50th anniversary of the...

So a while back I said I write up a Verisimilitude Dragon if a post got seven likes, and it did so here I am. I guess I should lay some guidelines... When people commonly desire "verisimilitude" they usually want mechanics to specifically represent lore and for that lore to be fully explained...

Youtuber Jaiden made an animated video detailing her first session of D&D. Her channel has twelve million subscribers and the video has three million views, so it's one of the more popular ones. While hearing about others play D&D can be cool, many wouldn't consider it 3 hours cool. But a...

Those who dislike the Oberini (I don't remember how to spell that) fallacy stay out! Those who enjoy DM empowerment and ignoring the rules stay in! Like @dave2008 The rule imbalance between the martial and casters are just a bunch of rules! We've been ignoring the rules since race as class...

For a change of pace, let's all agree with @Micah Sweet I'm sure whatever changes Micah would make would be perfectly in tune with the fiction. So if that's your goal, then this is the place for you! If not, then message me and we come up with some solutions that work for you! So Micah, how...

If you want your fixes to the martial caster divide to be entirely mundane, then this is the thread for you! If it's not, message me and I'll help create a solution that's right for you! While I know @Lanefan may want it that way, I bet there are plenty of others out there that would also...

One possible solution to address the martial caster divide is to give good things to Fighters. So let's brainstorm awesome things to give to Fighters! I'll start! This is for Vaalingrade ! @Vaalingrade If you don't like this stuff, I'll get to you eventually! All Out Attack Fighter...

Enworld has always been tested. Conflict and war is the crucible through which we evolve. Every battle makes us stronger. Those who fall will be forgotten. Those who rise up? Their names will be remembered forever.

This reddit thread about cooking reminds me of discussions here about being a DM. Being able to follow written instructions vs adapting on the fly? What do DMs need more of??

If Mortal Kombat can reboot their numbering; so can I! Here's the deal: I give you an improbable situation and you tell me which edition of D&D best portrays it. Today, I ask, "What edition of D&D can best portray 'Dark Magic'?" Let me tell you what "Dark Magic" is! Dark Magic Magia Erebea...

Are there places in your campaign world where magic is prohibited? Where there are strong cultural edicts or laws that disallow the casting of magic? Anything beyond the obvious, "don't use magic to commit crimes"? Bonus points if magic is available for use but isn't allowed anyway. I never...

Since the 2024 books are bringing changes to D&D, I thought that this Extra Credits video would be relevant. It's about making changes to a game and all the perils that come with it.
