    D&D 5E (2014) Real Emotions at the Gaming Table

    I tend to play halflings a lot and several have been killed or nearly killed by giant rats in the past. This would likely be just as embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the old story of the 1e mage who summoned a familiar and received a toad. Thinking that was rubbish, he stepped on it and...

    Release New Free DM Guide: When the Dice Don’t Fade to Black (D&D 2024)

    I guess if there is ever a reason to to not fade to black, then some rules might be needed or handy to have to keep things focused on the game and story and away from the fade to black bits. I'm assuming that most every group does not really explore this part though. I'm guessing it is a yuk...

    Homebrew Dungeons and Where They Came From

    I thought all dungeons were created by a wealthy and eccentric mage that created something to test adventurers for an ultimate quest, but dies shortly after completing the dungeon. Seriously though, I always found it interesting how ancient cities such as Rome or Troy have these vast dungeons...

    Dungeons & Dragons Returns to Universal Studios Hollywood

    Nice to see it did well enough to come back for another go. Maybe I'll see it when it goes 'off-Broadway' and comes to my neck of the woods.

    Sophie Turner is Lara Croft

    Looks like she was born the year the video game came out.

    How Often Does Google AI Actually Generate A Response?

    I was googling about the noble house in Waterdeep and wanted to know the names of people tied to the green dragon in Kryptgarten Forest to the north. There is an adventure tied to the nobles trying to kill it and such and I was planning for an upcoming adventure. I found the info I needed and...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    You could just make them a 1-hit monster and the fighter can cleave another just fine. Allow him to have fun. Spells just kill half of them from a fireball or something. The others live with no tracking involved. Of course, I like to throw a lot of them at the party for this reason. Have...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many Offensive Spells Do You Ned to Know?

    Some might depend on the DM and if a fireball will light things on fire or if it is handwaved. Also depends on how much fighting the PCs do compared to other pillars of the game. There also might be some factors such as using a grid and size/placement of the spell, such as a lightning bolt...

    D&D 5E (2024) How I would do 6E.

    Could this be a basic/advanced system based on levels as well? Levels 1-7 are basic with classes and systems, levels 8-13 would blend basic and advanced, and level 13+ is more advanced. Not sure if I like it more or less. I might like the core 4 classes to be more basic and be able to advance...

    D&D General How do you really handle illumination in your games?

    One of my players tends to always play a human fighter, so we just default to there being light from a torch or weapon illumination or a light spell in the area. We do not track where it is in the area or if someone drops it. It would be like fighting with a backpack on and moving slower...

    D&D 5E (2024) How I would do 6E.

    And I'm thinking the opposite with 75% less magic classes and spells. This is why the designers should not take polls that rigidly. I would bring back attacking the saves like Reflex and Fortitude instead of having the DM roll saves. Players like to roll dice. I would chop feats and junk...
