Here are some (untested) DM notes I made about how to read D&D players' personal interests (or "flags") from their character sheets: Inspired by Chris/Bankuei's "Flag Framing" and Vincent Baker's "Roleplaying Theory, Hardcore: Practical Conflict Resolution Advice", I was pondering my stint as...

Not your favorite, not the "best". I'm just curious which alignments are most common for characters.

As a DM, I have been describing and drawing maps for my players. Since I know what the "real" map looks like, it just easier. Unfortunately, this allows the players to meta-game. Depending on how and where I draw rooms on the paper, the players can deduce that secret doors might exist between...

I've been thinking about creating Yet Another SRD web site, but using Wikipedia's MediaWiki software to make the SRD a living, community project that would include errata, FAQs (official and otherwise), house rules, and suggestions for D&D 4E. (sorry! ;)) And maybe even new content, such as new...

The thread you love to hate! 3.0E and 3.5E are almost 6 and 3 years old respectively and WotC seem to have created a very good business framework for rolling out tons of 3.5E add-ons. When do you predict WotC will release (not announce) D&D 4E? A little historical context: 1974 = OD&D...

After participating in the create-a-character and create-a-monster post-game threads, I thought it would be fun to collaboratively create a new spell. I had hoped to create a thread with multiple polls, one for each spell attribute, but apparently the enworld forums don't support this. Each...

Inspired by Spoony Bard's post-game to create a character (the bald halfling barbarian/lawyer!), I thought it would be fun to collaboratively create a new monster. Each poster can define one attribute (and change dependent attributes that are affected by the new attribute's value, such as...

Here's a rough sketch of a unique magic-using class. I was thinking about ability-based spell bonuses for different magic-using classes, such as Charisma, Intelligence, and Wisdom. As a half-joke challenge, I tried to imagine a class that used some other unlikely ability, such as Constitution or...

PHB page 84 says, "You can hold your breath for a number off rounds equal to your Constitution score..." DMG page 304 says, "Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score." The PHB and DMG errata don't say anything about breath holding. Assuming...
