    Anticipatory Grief

    So sorry to hear this man. You can't lighten the load but you can share it to help bear it. We lost our baby girl -- canine, age 7 -- earlier this year to cancer. She was diagnosed with lymphoma, started chemo, went into remission, had it come back, tweak chemo, remission again. Then we...

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    The internet has mostly lost the value of well-moderated forums and actually informed news. EN World is an oasis of excellence in a desert of internet mediocrity.

    D&D General *Hobbits* in a late-80s AD&D product

    Oopsie. Don't let the Tolkien estate know. They might sue.

    Toys For Tots

    Crayons are great. Though I recommend you disguise the boxes so the Marines don't eat them.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    100%. Much as I love the classic settings, it's time for something new -- or take something original from a third party and slap a D&D logo on it.

    XKCD: What if ALL the sun’s power was focused in one place?

    To be fair, the fact that space is big, really big, only seems to get a solid nod in 2001, Alien/s, and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (+ The Expanse for TV). Elsewhere it's space wizards all the way down.

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's Write A High Level Adventure

    On the heist angle I think the Dresden Files novel Skin Game is a great template for a high-level heist adventure -- stealing an artifact from Hades' vault.

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's Write A High Level Adventure

    The players must travel to the Feywild to find a magical, roaming hut inhabited by the orc god Gruumsh, whom they must convince to part with his ambrosia pie. If a longer campaign is needed, the adventurers must cross the multiverse to locate the ingredients of said pie for Gruumsh to bake for...

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    I'm not sure N2 The Forest Oracle falls into those two categories. There's probably a third "chuck it in a bin" category.

    XKCD: What if ALL the sun’s power was focused in one place?

    Now explain how Starkiller Base kills planets hundreds of light years away, while said destruction is visible in real time from other planets tens of light years away.

    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    Sounds like a pass that is ideal to be downloadable content for those who really want it. The Netheril sourcebook from 2E used to be a free download on WOTC's site; I wonder if it's still up?

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Fill Out a Treasure Hoard

    Lots of dragon-specific artifacts that have zero value to normal people. 10,000 dragon beanie babies Claw sharpening stones Cases of scale wax Mega-sized dragon breath mints Beef, mutton, and virgin-scented candles Magical mirrors that only show images of five-headed dragons

    Why do we need thieves??

    "I am Subotai! Hyrkanian. Thief and Archer!" Guess it matters your game system. Are class and vocation the same thing? Do you even have classes or vocations? Does Subotai have one class, a multi-class, or just a particular set of skills?

    Why do we need thieves??

    In a game of killing people and taking their stuff, you can't all be specialized in the killing people part. Sometimes it's nice to have someone specialized in the taking their stuff part.

    That just means they are the ones committing the murder, which isn't much of a change.
