For some reason the world comes together to mandate one very important rule that will permeate all societies for the endless future. Oddly, this declaration reflects how WotC is allowed to present character options during creation in their D&D game. There can only be ONE official method. How...

I have been on these boards a long time now, and over many discussions I have picked up some good ideas for my own GM style. I thought it might be fun to have a look at everyone else's "table". My general GM Style/Mantras are as follows. 1. I will probably be running the current incarnation...

With the relative lack of 5e mechanics to discuss, there is (from my perspective) more of a trend this edition for Enworld discussions to be focused on more general D&D and RPG topics versus character build and rules parsing. Among the majority of these general discussions are many threads...

Webmaster(s) Today, for the first time ever, I started getting "pop-up" adds when visiting ENWorld. The details (in case its on your end and not mine) I am using a Nokia 6.1 Android phone. I am using Android 10, with security update May 1, 2020. I am browsing ENWorld on the Chrome browser in...

Hello ENWORLD.ORG team (probably just Morrus???) I would like to help support the site...but... I don't trust PayPal to retain my credit card or banking information for ongoing payments. I would be happy to just give you a one-time lump sum and not receive any of the supporter benefits that...

I want to start my post by dumping some data from the Wikipedia article "List of Dungeons & Dragons Rulebooks" found here. With a handy reference to the data i'm going to be discussing out the the way... There has been much to-do this week in reference to in discussion of the Critical Role...

Over the last 5 or so years I have noticed a trend in gaming discussion (often miniatures games but today I saw it on an EnWorld tread) to substitute the word cost when I would consider price to be the "normal" word to use in that situation. I know that in finance the definition of cost and...

My monk player asked (reasonably) if there was any way he could get a magic item to boost his unarmed strike to-hit and damage like a magical weapon would. Essentially he wants a +1 weapon, but just for his hands. Quickly glancing through the DMG magic items (which are horribly organized IMHO)...

So, in last nights adventure the druid shapechanged into a Huge (as in size of the base, not a generic descriptor) constrictor snake. We were having a hard time wrapping our minds around exactly how large a snake this might be. I put my best guess as it being roughly 40-50 feet long, with the...

Due to the mysteries of the warp our group went from 4 to 7 players in just a couple months. Coincidentally, it was during these couple months we quit our 13th Age campaign and decided to transition to a new 5e campaign. 7 players is a LOT of players. More than I am used to GMing for. On top...

Sorry I don't know how to quote across threads properly however I want to stop derailing someone elses topic. In a different thread Agamon said "So you can't sell DLC? That's like saying you can't sell your iTunes songs or Steam games. Not really what I was asking, because that's obvious"...

So...I have been reading through all my various and sundry RPG products trying to figure out something to start up a campaign of that will bring back the thrill of the old days. I purchased back when they first came out the Hackmaster DMG, PHB, and first monster book. I am thinking of taking a...

In general I am a fairly laid back and easygoing kinda guy....but for the past week or so whenver I pop onto the General forum to get my RPG gaming fix it seems like half the page is filled with SURVIVOR CONTEST or MARCH MADNESS bracket voting. It's driving me bonkers. While I encourage...

I am leaning towards spending some of my hard-earned Christmas-gift monies on picking up Pandemic. What are its DOWNSIDES? DS

So, last week we were fighting approximately 70k zombies arranged in three giant blocks of Zombie Mobs. After spending 75% of the battle trying to push a cart off a bridge (I rolled 1,1,2,2,1 before I gave up, I wrote it down it was so annoying) I decided to do something fun by wagonjacking...

I just broke my battleraging dwarf out of retirement due to my paladin being in chains....and I am trying to wrap my head around the new battlerager rules, which are as complicated as the old ones. Pertinent facts: I have a CON modifier of +4 I have the Dwarven Stoneblood feat and am 11th level...

So, my paladin bit the big one (for the third time in 8 levels) in or game session this week and I need to create a new character. The original build for the paladin was to spend all my resources to get him high defenses. I ended up with ARFW values of 25/22/20/21. While those were by far the...

So...I have the misfortune to work next to two guys who play WOW. They have been playing WOW for over 2 years. They talk about WOW every day. I mean literally every day. Not just for a few minutes, but for hours. I have had to buy an MP3 player just to keep myself from losing more sanity...

My question is fairly simple. Can we please blow up the Gencon 2008 Registration and the Unofficial 4e Information subforums? Please? I am growing weary of their useless selves taking up the top of my browser window. DS

As I was driving home from work today I was fondly remembering the old chestnut of the "Players have to cross a chessboard moving like the piece of the square they are on" room in Ghost Tower of Inverness. It occurred to me that if role-played correctly, the party really should have no idea how...
