    Cards against Humanity sues SpaceX

    I'm not sure if this belongs here, because while it is gaming-adjacent it also runs pretty close to politics. I'll try to stay on the non-politics side of things. Anyway, back in 2017, Cards Against Humanity (CAH) had a campaign against the planned "wall" between the USA and Mexico, and in...

    D&D General Matt Colville on adventure length

    So, Matt Colville posted a video on adventures, their length, and individual adventures vs campaign-length ones: The Cliff's Notes version: The preponderance of big campaign-length adventures like Curse of Strahd (which, for the sake of brevity, I'll call Epics) is bad for the hobby, and...

    Why PCs should be competent, or "I got a lot of past in my past"

    One issue I have with D&D and many of its descendants is that the default method of character creation is designed to create young, inexperienced characters who get threatened by something like a giant rat or a bandit. Some people argue that you need to start low in order to have a proper...

    D&D General So how about alignment, eh?

    I figure we could use a palate cleanser. So, how about alignment? Do you prefer the classic nine, the 4e five, or something else? What about Chaotic Neutral – 1e/2e's random wackiness or 3e/5e's anarchist?

    D&D General D&D Onslaught skirmish game?

    It seems a new D&D-based board game was spotted in preview form at GAMA, called D&D Onslaught. Or at least Spikey Bits had a short blurb about it: New D&D Onslaught Miniatures Game Spotted at GAMA - Spikey Bits This is the first I've heard of it. Anyone else?

    Dark mode polls

    The checkboxes for polls in dark mode are almost impossible to see: Would it be possible to make those a little brighter, and perhaps have the inside of the checkbox be a little brighter than the background?

    When WotC Founder Peter Adkison Wrote To White Wolf Magazine

    I had a distinct memory of having seen a particular letter in one of the magazines in my gaming club back in the day, so I decided to do some research and managed to find it in White Wolf Magazine #28. I figure it might be of historical interest to some. This was written in response to an...

    How to organize a gaming group?

    My gaming group has had a group on Facebook for quite a while. It's been mostly practical, seeing as Facebook has been pretty ubiquitous. But as of late, some of the players have expressed a desire to get off Facebook for various reasons, and I can't really fault them for that seeing as...

    Stephen Colbert playing D&D with Matt Mercer

    Yes. It happened. Matt Mercer went to New York to play some D&D with Stephen Colbert for Red Nose Day, a charity thing for ending child poverty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3658C2y4LlA Stephen seems to have enjoyed it.

    Suggestions for connected themes

    So, I'm currently running Princes of the Apocalypse. We're maybe a third through it so far, so its end is likely fairly far into the future, but I like to plan ahead so I can let ideas stew in my mind for a bit. Right now, I have this vague idea that I want the next campaign to feature some...

    D&D 5E Backgrounds

    In the AMA, Mearls hinted pretty heavily that we'd see some sort of branching out to different settings over the course of 2018. This gave me an idea for a thing I'd very much like to see in a setting-focused book, assuming there's enough space: new backgrounds. The backgrounds in the PHB are...

    Broken link

    With the integration of Star Wars/Star Trek RPG-related questions in the General RPG forum, the link to the forum at the top of the right-hand sidebar is broken. It goes to a page (http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?531-Star-Wars-Gaming-%28-Trek%29) that gives the error message...

    D&D 5E Short rest house rule

    I've noticed that it's often hard for PCs to take a short rest, since doing so takes about an hour. Either things are too busy to rest at all, or they're quiet enough that they can just as well take a short rest. If my group had had access to rope trick, things might have been different, but...

    D&D 4E Thing I thought 4e did better: Monsters

    While I think 5e on the whole is a lot better than 4e, it is somewhat lacking in the monster department. There are three main things I think 4e did better with monsters: 1. Ramping up humanoids. In 5e, pretty much every natural humanoid monster is an appropriate monster for 1st level characters...

    D&D 5E Dawn War pantheon lore?

    I'm thinking about using the Dawn War (aka the 4e) pantheon for a homebrew. Were there ever any good information sources on these released, other than the extremely skimpy information in the 4e PHB/DMG? I saw that there was a bit more in Divine Power, but that seemed to be more about "these...

    D&D 5E 5e Rakshasa weak?

    Since half of Vox Machina fought a rakshasa last episode, I took a closer look at the monster... and found it pretty underwhelming. I mean, it's sneaky as heck, and pretty tough with its immunity to non-magical weapons as well as any spell of 6th level or lower. But it has a pretty glaring...

    "Aw snap" error on Wheaton article

    Hello, I am unable to read the article at http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2497-Wheaton-s-Game-Putting-Together-The-Clues! . When I try, Chrome starts rendering the page and then immediately throws up an "Aw snap, something went wrong" error message. I do not get the same error on other...

    Bardificer - An Eberron-style Artificer based on the Bard class

    I have just uploaded Bardificer - An Eberron-style Artificer based on the Bard class to the downloads area. Like many others, I was not happy with the artificer-as-wizard-tradition offered by Wizards of the Coast, because I thought it was too far off what the Eberron artificer was in 3e. So I...

    D&D 5E Semi-sandbox product I'd love to see

    I've been giving this some thought, and this is what I've come up with. I'd love to see a product featuring the following: * A central town acting as a base for adventurers. * The surrounding area described in quite a lot of detail, in a radius of maybe 50 miles (about 2 days' travel, more in...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    Probably Dragonlance. Does Greyhawk have any particular crunchy player bits that aren't covered by the PHB already?
