    Pendragon - what were your experiences with the Personality Traits/Passions?

    So, I possess the 4th edition of the Pendragon RPG, which includes the wizard class. I bought it some years ago on an impulse buy and now that I'm messing around with the creation of my own medieval fantasy system, I've been looking for ideas and inspiration on what I consider the weakest...

    For those not familiar with the 5e AL 2-part module - the party is meant to travel from Waterdeep to a mysterious island, which island is under the effects of powerful disruptive magic. At the end of the first part, party is forcefully transported via portal back to Waterdeep, but a whole tenday...

    Regular In-Person Games: How long do you travel?

    This was prompted by @Sword's comment in another thread about the time taken for him/her to travel to their in-person games, so I just wondered how long Enworlders travel these days to participate in in-person games.

    Hey - I'm probably late to the party, but for those of you who always find out things much later like myself, there is this awesome new podcast by The AI Guy who is using auto-generated voices and visuals of celebrities for a D&D podcast and it is so much fun.

    John Wick 4 (spoilers in tags)

    I suggest you do not read this until you've watched it, and have formed your own opinion. Please do not let me colour your experience beforehand!!! So I saw it last night. I'm not going to be popular for this piece since my post is about the negative aspect only. Sorry. At the outset I...

    D&D 5E The Solution to Perception?

    The above post in another thread got me thinking which I'm sure we've debated before on Enworld and other places. Why not just remove Perception as skill? It is the 'must-have' skill of skills. I remember in 3.x it felt silly (to me) to spend skill points in Perception for something every...

    Ideas for DC Revamp

    So this whole business with Gunn, Cavill and what-not got me thinking on what I would do if I were in Gunn's position...here goes Basic Direction: They run a 4-part movie series of superhero team-ups to quickly build to the JL. They would be connected, even if loosely at first. So for...

    D&D 5E Spirit Guardians - Thematic Question

    So in our last session the group faced off against a priest of Tiamat who unleashed a Spirit Guardians upon the party. I read the spell and there was one line that seemed to stand out to me. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 radiant damage (if you are good or neutral) or 3d8 necrotic...

    D&D 5E Desperation

    I've never been a fan of the recovery methods regarding Inspiration. Any interesting online ideas we borrowed for Inspiration did not work or stick at our table. The 5.5e mechanic of refreshing your Inspiration after scoring a natural 20 seems gimmicky to me so I'm just gonna nix that idea...

    D&D 5E Any cool Skill Challenges you've run in 5e?

    An Appeal to the Mad Mage for a Long Rest. Our table runs a pretty harsh recovery system by 5e standards, and the party found itself quite depleted and in much need of a Long Rest as they were heading to take-on Netherskull, the Death Tyrant of the Obstacle Course level of Undermountain. I was...
