I am playing in a Tuesday night Spelljammer game, and I am debating on leaving. When we started playing, I was unemployed. The DM, who is an old college friend of mine, was going through a divorce and I agreed to join the game to help him get his DM'ing shoes under him again. His then-wife...

I'm curious to know if you use the official character sheet, a third party sheet, D&D Beyond's online sheet (with PDF download?), or your own custom sheet? Also, how much detail do you put on them? The full text of your abilities? The name of the ability and the source page number? Something else?

Now that the new Forgotten Realms books are out, I'm wondering if they cover everything from the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide. Is that book still a keeper, or has everything from it been redone?

I have a bit of a conundrum with my Spelljammer character's magic items. I'm playing an aberrant mind sorcerer/great old one warlock.We're using the 2014 rules. He has a custom-made telepathic helmet, an amulet of health that was a gift from a friend, a staff of frost, and a cloak of elvenkind...

Does anyone know of any good art (not AI) that would work for a ranger's cabin in the woods? Something big enough for him and his tiger animal companion.

in D&D Beyond, can you customize a spellcaster's spell list with spells that are not spells for their class? For example, I want to add Find Steed and Find Greater Steed to a ranger's spell list. Is that possible in D&D Beyond?

As a follow-up to the other Nentir Vale thread, I wonder what other settings the Nentir Vale could be placed in. I had considered Exandria since the pantheons are so closely related, though I don't know the geography well enough to know where to put it. What setting would you place it in...

I have been playing a psionic halfling in my friend's Spelljammer game. This is using the 2014 rules. Basically, he was a street rat whose home burned down. He felt lonely, and a being reached out through the cosmos to comfort him. The being was a great old one, but a child, and he too felt...

I am currently playing a halfling aberrant mind sorcerer 5 / GOO warlock 2 in my friend's Spelljammer game. In our last session, my character met an NPC psion (UA playtest version), who taught him some medication techniques to help him unlock his mind's potential. The DM said that the next time...

Is there a way to quickly find which spells are on both the ranger and wizard spell lists?

I missed a session of our weekly Spelljammer game last week due to starting a new job and not wanting to go out after tornado activity in the area. Everybody else played without me, which is fine. Our characters just hired on a new crew recently. While I was gone, some of them mutinied. I...

Back in the 80s, there was a comic book series called The Saga of Crystar: Crystal Warrior. It lasted for 11 issues and was known for having a toy tie-in. The short version is that in the kingdom of Crystalium was ruled by two princes - Crystar and Moltar. They were given a choice between...

When I was in college and first playing D&D (2nd edition), a friend of mine was playing a human psionicist named Kelson Haldane, named after a character in Katherine Kurtz' Deryni series of novels. Kelson was my intro to psionics. The player left the game and his character was said to have left...

Have any of you used the Acquisitions Incorporated book in your games? If so, how closely do you follow the lore? Do you feel that it holds up to the test of time? I'm considering using it to flesh out the background of an NPC that I may or may not use.

Late Sunday night, I heard the news that my friend Dave had passed away. Dave was part of my original college group. We played together for many years. Life took us in different directions, but we kept in contact on Facebook. In recent months, my original gaming group got back together for a...

The new Monster Manual has a githzerai psion and a thri-kreen psion, both of whom are Int-based casters. I'm really glad to see the old psion name in use again. But I have to ask... Where the hell is my psion class or subclass?!? I get it, the aberrant mind is supposed to be the psion...

I noticed that there's a new Galaxy Guide coming out in April. I kind of wonder if it will replace the Pact Worlds and Near Space books. Does anyone know anything about it beyond what is in the product description?

I'm having a brain fart. Maybe you guys can help me. In some D&D book (possibly third party), there is a section on taking some battle master fighter maneuvers and combining them with skills, feats, etc. to create archetypes. I want to say one is a gladiator.I thought it was in Tasha's or...

I dig the idea of a warlock patron granting psionic abilities, but I wish there were alternatives to having Cthulhu-like beings granting them. I'd like to come up with some alternatives. The first thing that comes to my mind, which would be great for thri-kreen, is a hive mind. It has the...

I really like the Starfinder setting, but I would prefer the idea of running it with a 5e-based system. The two I can think of right off are Dark Matter and Esper Genesis. Just curious if anyone else here has used a different system for Starfinder. What was your experience like?
