    RPG Buzzwords that have effectively lost their meaning due to poor over-use

    I just seen on another thread- Mary Jane / Mary Sue / Billy Bob, whatever we call the name besides Superman. To be fair Mary Jane Rotten-Crotch was a name we used back in the Army. She was not that powerful unless you came back from leave with a little extra.

    RPG Buzzwords that have effectively lost their meaning due to poor over-use

    Is this a good place to insert the race/species/template/genus/etc... debate?

    D&D 5E (2024) Skill Mastery as an idea

    I like the idea. It needs something better than a 1/rest reroll though. I like some of the minor stuff like instant jumping or hiding.

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    The PCs are normal people from all walks of life if you have the home country be invaded in this war. Many will join something if their state or town is under attack. You can also have criminals be the PCs like Dirty Dozen where you get a pardon if you live. All walks of life can go to...

    D&D General What if we gave dragonborn four arms?

    My first thought was to have 4 legs instead. Then just centaur-template them and be done.

    RPG Buzzwords that have effectively lost their meaning due to poor over-use

    Grognard- I mean spellcheck does not even pick it up and when I Googled it it dates back to the Napoleon era. Min/Max- Can throw in with Optionizer and Jerk. Know it when you see it. Abbreviator- anyone that assumes I know the shorthand slang of the newest book and does not use the title...

    D&D General Feeding/hunger rules for vampires - all input appreciated

    I like the idea to make them a bit more unique. Do other monsters have something for them. I can see something like this for ghouls and even shadows/wraiths. Steal from movies with cults of human cattle are devoted to them or evil lairs where humans a kept for food and bled to prevent...

    D&D General Preparing dungeons without knowing the setting or campaign

    Do you really have no idea where the campaign is going to go or be? I like the idea of creating things with the players and seeing what develops, but not having a few ideas to choose from would not be my thing. I see why you want a start on things, but no skeleton to hang some meat on makes it...

    D&D General What to Do with a Dragon Corpse?

    I thought you made Fred Flintstone sized ribs and hung the head in your new tavern. I have seen dragonscale armor that is scale mail with resistance to the dragon energy type. A heart can be made into potions if heroism or invulnerability. Powdered horn can be used to boost spells and make...

    D&D General Why did Marids change?

    Are you saying that 16ft tall blue human-looking people do not scream water creature to you? The evolution looks seamless.

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for July 13, 2025

    I thought the site here was non-political.

    D&D General Preparing dungeons without knowing the setting or campaign

    With limited time, I would likely look to steal maps from places online. Other stuff like towns and NPCs and such could also be found. Maybe plan on the initial 3 sets of options and then on another three for around 3rd level. If you think you can ties some threads between them, then that...
