    D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

    Agree with @Ulfgeir but I see some Mal from Firefly in the brown coat. But the hand held device pointed more toward a Doctor Who. Mal would more likely be holding a pistol. Guinan = strange is an understatement. She even makes Q nervous.

    The spirit is bound to the clay vessel. What happens if the clay vessel is destroyed? Spirit unbound and free? Or destroyed? What happens if the clay vessel is mended with the spirit on the outside? Which character has the mending spell? Does the spirit know this? If so, spirit could...

    D&D General Best D&D Setting?

    Option 3. Pick one that matches your campaign. High magic - Forgotten Realms. Normal magic - Greyhawk. Survival is hard - Dark Sun. Pirates - go with something like Freeport. Space based - Spelljammer or borrow the Starfinder setting from Paizo.

    Maintaining your secret identity

    In today's society where most people have a full featured recording studio in their pockets, your super hero activities will be recorded and posted. Any normal life friends will most likely look at said posts and eventually one will notice "Hey, that super hero looks like Fred!" Then ask you...

    Romance Rules

    Most guidance on in game romance tends to discourage it, at least between PCs. Too much chance of Real Life issues between the players blowing up an In Game affair between characters. Add in a chance of an in game blowup("I am doing what my character would do...") blowing up a RL relationship...

    When and where did you learn about Greek/roman and others mythology?

    K-12 schools. Some literature mention, reading and study. Some from science class for sources of names of planets, stars and constellations. At least one Star Trek Original series episode.

    Madden teaser trailer

    Plus he came up with a 6 legged turkey for the Thanksgiving broadcasts. I think he really liked drumsticks.

    D&D General Experts type PCs, Magic Items, and Higher Fantasy

    Not sure about D&D 5 but in earlier versions and PF, Bards can be bards without items. Performance Dancing, Singing, Oratory, + maybe others. Trying to make a bard into a front line fighting type is probably an exercise in frustration. They really aren't meant to do that role. Supporting the...

    Love spells!

    As a retired IT person, filtering is one of those thankless tasks that gets the most attention when there is an oops. Delicate balance between too much and not enough. Made worse these days by folks getting better at using variants of AI to try zillions of ways to bypass protections. Thanks...

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    I have taken some oddball KS stuff to gaming sessions and offered to the other players and sometimes related kids. You don't have to keep it all. I have watched KS where someone asked for a special "Includes this stuff" tier and it happened. Sometimes it becomes obvious that the initial...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    Depends on how 'balance' is defined. Is one set of point buy(PB) stats perfectly balanced against a different set of PB stats? Probably not. But did the player using PB have a balanced opportunity to create a character as compared to the other players at the table? In my opinion, yes...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Books - Tie between Hackmaster PHB + GM guide (bought as add on to the KotDT Codex of Many Tales KS)(The Codex proper. KotDT qualifies as TTRPG related in my book) and The Fantasy Trip Path of Mastery adventure also via KS. Money for all went out months ago. Books arrived about the same time...

    James Ohlen Shifts From Archetype Entertainment Head to Creative Consultant for Tabletop RPGs at Wizards

    Nothing so far seems to prevent both from happening. Seems like a lot of the recent WOTC personnel moves have been about making sure all of the various bits are playing together as one big happy family.

    Painting minis?

    Look at it this way. It is a wash. If your eyes prevent mini perfection, they won't notice anyway. That imperfect mini will look great! Especially at table distance. So paint away.
