    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Staying out of the conversation about the correctness of this decision, as I already made my opinion clear. As a hardcore miniature collector, I couldn't agree more. I don't need another Conan-style warrior - I could probably fill a shoebox. A brawny woman is much more useful to me.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I loved that book when I was a kid. I will never re-read because I don't want to revisit it through a more critical lens. I'm happy with it living on in my memories as a treasured book from my youth.

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    It’s really hard to quantify what made 5e so popular. I think the main reason is demographics: people who grew up playing D&D got to an age where they had either time to return to it or (much more often) children they could introduce to it. And a few of them got to an age where they had the...

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    Excuse me? No, folks should allow they enjoy at their table and have no responsibility for what happens at mine.

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    There was a lot of feedback against them, I believe, and for the premise that a support role should be a choice and not a requirement. But I hear you. Whenever I get asked to play, instead of DM, I always offer to play whatever the party needs. I’m just happy to get to play. My newest character...

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    Love it! That's quite a range of terrain options on that table, BTW. I see some Dwarven Forge, some Dungeons and Lasers (well painted), some Warlock Tiles. Where'd you get that modular river?

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    I think that is a good approach to creating warlord as a 5e support class. "Support class" is a forbidden term in 5e, where every class is supposed to be able to function well autonomously, so I don't see that kind of a class ever being made official. However, for your own use that seems like a...

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    I really enjoyed Ben Riggs' Slaying the Dragon. But I think he undermines his journalistic credibility with posts like this.

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    You missed my point. And my many posts on the subject indicate that I am very familiar with DDB.

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    "Without last year's revolt against the attempt to end the OGL, the 2024 rules would almost certainly be Hasbro IP, and taboo to outsiders except for a fee." So...DnDBeyond?

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    So, I work with beginners all the time. Fighters are MUCH easier to play for beginners. You might argue that they are harder to play optimally; that's a different discussion. But as far as a class to play while trying to wrap your head around all the arcane and abstract rules that are D&D...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2024 AD

    He did cause vast harm, putting innocent people in prison, traumatizing children, destroying families, and ruining many, many lives. And he did it willfully, through a combination of pseudo-scientific thinking and religion, while steadfastly ignoring all evidence to the contrary of his...
