You always read not to lay a tv on its side, but many people build gaming tables with TVs in them. Do we know how long these TVs last? I am just about done finishing the basement, and one of the rooms will have dedicated gaming space. I'd like to convert my gaming table, which is just a dining...

One of the things in the 2014 rules that amused me was that demons and devils didn't do magic damage, and so could barely hurt each other, until they did force later.... Now? It looks like fiends can be hurt by normal attacks. I assume this means they'll be killing each other faster.... While...

WotC has teased an upcoming Magic: The Gathering / Dungeons & Dragons crossover supplement. No info has been given other than a mention of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor and an art piece by Jesper Ejsing. Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is a Magic: the Gathering plane. The official MtG page for it describes it as...

I hate gear in statblocks even more than I thought I would. It's hard to spot. Plus, it seems really oddly inconsistent what I can or can't take. Like, I can't take a silver sword from a gythyanki? I think almost anytime that it is really tied to a creature it can't be taken. But this is a...

Is there a way to even see a list of demons in the 2024 rules? I just checked dnd beyond, and didn't see one. This can't be real, can it? This can't be how the MM is supposed to be organized......seriously. Ugh. Please, someone show me I'm wrong.

Against my better judgement, I just bought a hard copy..... I'm going to post the things I like... Some of these were likely in 2014 as well.... I like the little tables in some entries about how the monster could be used. I like habitat and treasure being listed, even if I don't love the...

This is why I love Eberron and Keith: https://keith-baker.com/fiendish-gnolls/ It works so well, so very well.

What would you do for a paladin at 5th level instead of faithful steed? That's not the kind of paladin one of my players really is.....

Weird that a lot of initiative posts came up, just as I start posting a lot of articles about it on my website. I have a draft PDF that I thought about kickstarting with dozens (or more) possible systems and variants. It also has a discussion of pros and cons of systems, changing rules, and...

Just got my project sigil codes to test the new vtt from wizards of the coast! Have to take my mom to the doctor first.... I'll have a report as soon as possible.

An article, which I read and says very little, and video, which I haven't watched, are up, previewing the DMG on dndbeyond.

If I read correctly, there is no surprise anymore (granting advantage or disadvantage on initiative isn't surprise, IMO). So, no ambushes where one side acts first. No planning what to do outside a door, opening it, and acting first * Is that correct? If so, not a fan.... *sure, you could...

Was hoping for more info on the VTT from Gen Con, but you can now sign up for the beta! Which I have.

This looks intriguing. Has anyone played the first version of this? I'm confounded by being intrigued, as I'm also intrigued by actually playing 13th age, which is clearly on the other end of complexity!

I read grappled, and I wonder things: 1. Why don't monsters that have creatures grappled actually use that in any way? They don't squeeze for damage, they don't get an extra bite or anything? 2. Why can a grappled creature take opportunity attacks? Like, it seems grappled should do a lot more...

Ok, this virtual mini looks interesting https://dimicube.com/

We recently ran a variant of the Daggerheart initiative in our DnD session. This post on my site (which I hope to update with player thoughts soon) summarizes our thoughts. Spoiler, I'm not certain it is all that different than cyclical, given that my players took turns going so no one stole the...

I'm joining the walkthru writeup party, and will be posting updates from both of my campaigns. The first up is the beginning of my in person game which is set in Eberron. Need to find the notes from the first two sessions, but session three is up (in two posts). I'll be updating an overall page...

With the GM's day sale on drivethru and dmsguild, I may buy a few things.... What titles do you USE the most? Not like to read, but in actual play. I'm only interested in 5e here, as I think I own most of the A5e stuff I want, and I am only spending money on 5e for now (as I have plenty of...

I'm not affiliated with these people, but I found this today. This one looks pretty intriguing, but it appears to be in early Alpha.....Fairly certain I'll go in at the GM/DM level (whatever that was called) though I'd love to be a beta tester...
