    I try not to be negative or just point out what I don't like about something, I don't always succeed; however, there are a number of threads on ENworld that I don't engage with because I know that I'm probably going to end up being a Negative Nelly. I have also improved my experience on this...

    D&D 3.x Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    Thanks for posting it, and thanks @Alzrius for being so persistent. I've recently started looking back at 3e, cool to see some 3rd party stuff I've never seen before.

    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    Never came up in my games, I'd changed it so that it only hedged out vermin and weather but was otherwise permeable. I don't think I even needed to let my players know that I'd changed it (I'd have allowed them to select something else if they didn't like the changes).

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    MR in 2e should have ran like 1e with higher level spellcasters being better able to bypass it. But the real resistance for high level monsters was their saving throws which increased to the point where using a control spell (even without magic resistance) was a risky proposition which likely...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    I don't know much about Chessenta, but the mulan weren't the same ethnicity when first grabbed by Imasker, they were different when first brought over then through intermarriage became the mulan. I only know this because I've been recently reading the 2e FR deity books.

    Webcomics!

    Oh man, I lost this one recently, I need to pick it up again, probably a year or so of comics I need to catch up on.

    Webcomics!

    That should go without saying, but probably a fair call to mention it. I've had a number of webcomics that just dropped off my read list at some point that I never picked up again. There was one by Scott Kurtz that I used to follow, a couple of others that I can recall the art style but have no...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    I was recently following up on some of the real world gods in the FR and I think they misplaced Silvanus as Celtic but, as far as I can tell, he was actually a Roman god of nature. One you missed but probably because she's "dead" and not really talked about much any more was Tyche, who became...

    Webcomics!

    Wow, I remember questionable content, been years since I stopped reading it. Not sure why, it might have just dropped off my RSS feeds. I read penny arcade and Atomic Robo I also read a webcomic called Oglaf, a large number of the comics are NSFW though, I'll let others google it. Another...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    I'd have at least checked it out, but honestly, I think with increasing cost of living and just being tired of the edition churn, I'm not sure I'd have ultimately adopted it.

    No worries, unbelievably, I found it here on ENworld after a lot of googling and changing of search terms.

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    I think a large part of the problem was that they turned prestige classes into player facing components (helps pad out all of those books with player options) instead of having them as DM content that could be dropped into a game as something that could entice players to join.

    [Apple+] Slow Horses TV Series (Spoilers)

    I think it's great show, took a while for me to get into it but once I got going, I loved it.

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Hobgoblins definitely slowed down a game in the past. Players with only +4 to +5 to hit and not a huge amount of AoE, hobgoblins with +3 to hit and an AC of 18 made me revise them to be without the shield to drop their AC to 16. Still had some long slow battles.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I actually thought the last Indiana Jones movie was a great addition to the franchise. I'd forgotten about back to the future, watched that so many times as a kid, maybe that's my fifth trilogy. I have to say, reading through these I'm getting ideas of movies to rewatch: national treasure...

    D&D General Is this use of a wizard's spellbook accurate?

    We've also had plenty of people argue for one level of wizard allowing for you to add every wizard spell to your spellbook. If this article is AI, I wouldn't be surprised if it got some (incorrect) info from ENworld.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I'm not sure I can think of 5. 1. Original star wars movies, watched this so many times as a kid, love the star wars universe. 2. Pirates of the Caribbean. I love these movies, great Swashbuckling fun with monsters and magic. Davy Jones was amazingly well done. 3. Indiana Jones. If they...

    That's not much different to how it works now.
