    D&D General DnDbeyond AMA tomorrow (Tues, Dec 9)

    Here's hoping the new homepage adjusts the display of sources to what I'm using lately instead of the Featured lists. Quests From the Infinite Staircase finally got pushed off the Featured list for me so now I have to do extra clicks to prep stuff. edit: Oops didn't read down far enough!

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    Spoilers Pluribus

    I'm not sure technical hurdles in genetic engineering are going to be a focus in the series, yeah.

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

Each sage carries a key which unlocks a desk drawer in their matching room. However, each desk drawer also has a glyph...

    D&D General D&D memes thread discussion…

    I'm so glad his actual response has been clarified. For the longest time I thought it was "Get that weak-ass bird naughty word out of here!"

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    When I was first researching Dragonlance, I identified at least 2 periods in the setting's history where divine casters either lost their powers or simply disappeared off the planet. One of these periods precedes the most popularly played section of Dragonlance history, the War of the Lance...
