    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    Different people have different levels of what is hard/difficult. There is also varied parts of being a DM that one needs to be able to do. The making of an adventure/campaign is different than running one at the table. One can buy an adventure that bypasses most all of this and just run it...

    He has a whole chain of burger joints throughout the North.

    What's the best die type and why is it the d12?

    The d12 is the only one that I have one of and it holds a place of never being used on game night, so it stays nice and shiny.

    Your favorite die

    I bought these from Q-Workshop a few years ago and all my d4 problems seemed to melt away. Well, mostly needing to slide the pointy ones off the table to be able to pick them up.

    What's Atop Your Christmas Tree?

    I would like a cool angel such as St Michael with a sword, or a DnD angel, I mean Solar, but we only have the typical baby Jesus type on the tree.

    Homebrew Magic Items, review requested

    A bit like what @Clint_L said above, if they are one-of-a-kind weapons tied to the story, then make the story the reason they bump in power. There might be a cool adventure that is made for 13th level Pcs who go to the temple of the PC's god and need to clean it of undead. As a reward, the PC...

    D&D General Wild Magic, Yea or Nay?

    The idea is ok, but it needs to be faster in play. The player needs to be on the ball to not slow things down. We did run the adventure series After Icespire Peak and it has a gnome grenade the PCs received. It had a big explosion, but since it was made by gnomes, and they are now bumbling...

    D&D General Dragonmarks in other settings

    It would help if you listed where they are from and gave an example. I initially thought from the title and the first part of the post that you were talking about power creep and wanting to give more stuff to the sorcerer to make them more on the power level of another class.

    Homebrew Magic Items, review requested

    First, @Starsun welcome to the boards. Initially, they all feel wordy and hard to read through. Not knowing your campaign and such it might make sense, but here I'm having a hard time. This whip is made of a strange silvery metal that seems to have a hint of a strange energy to it. It’s...

    Easy DIY Gaming Table (no woodworking)

    From a functional point of view, I would be concerned about the metal edge. With it appearing to stick over the wooden edge of the table it appears to be something that would hurt when someone bumps it with a body part. Also the corners could scrape or tear clothing and skin. Interested to...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Charles Shay died at 101 a couple days ago. He was a Native American who served in WW2 and the Korean War as an Army medic. He was part of the D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach, earning the Silver Star for helping to save drowning soldiers under fire. He was later a POW for over a year until...

    RPG Evolution: Gift Ideas for the Gamer Who Has Everything (2025)

    The letter opener sword link shows it is currently unavailable. There are links to other similar ones in the description though. I was looking to see if one came with a stone the sword would sit in, but did not look that hard. I did see this one for $10 that is cool though.

    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    I guess it is a bit like everything. I like golf and anyone can be a good golf player- depending on what you think is good. If you like to go out and have a good time with friends and maybe have a couple drinks, that's a good time playing golf. If you need to be a single-digit handicap or...

    D&D General Coming soon to D&D Beyond...One-Shot Wonders: Holiday Adventure Pack!

    I'm guessing some people like this and it could be fun to play with the kids. A 1-shot would be fun, but I do not see me getting this.

    D&D General Timeless Reveler "Party Party"

    The main problem might be getting the 5 people to take the tireless reveler feat as their origin feat. Cool enough loophole but people like certain feats. Once that hurdle is cleared, feel free to take over the world. I think it would get old real quick at my table. Not only be me, but...

    What Does "Simulation" Mean To You? [+]

    Simulation seems to be something attempting to copy the real world. A flight simulator or golf simulator attempts to copy the real world flying or playing of golf. People know it is not the actual thing and can play along for what it is or try to break it by crashing the plane knowing nothing...
