    D&D (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    They're immediately recognizable to GenX, sure, but as characters they're still usable by anyone young or old. It's not like a DM needs a special GenX Identicard to put Venger into an adventure or something.

    D&D (2024) New Dungeon Master's Guide Cover Features Venger (From the D&D Cartoons)

    Fine for what it is, decent looking mooks, lieutenants, and BBEG; but I wish it had less pose and more action. As fan service, though, it seems a missed opportunity, imo. It might have been neat, for example, to get a reimaging of (what to me is) a pretty iconic image of Venger on his...

    Threads "marked as read" that I haven't read

    Curious to know if it's cleared up for @Colgrevance, as well?

    Threads "marked as read" that I haven't read

    Update on this: This problem seems to have cleared up: no more random threads are getting wrongly unflagged as unread. The effect occurred frequently up until this afternoon. It had been limited to specific threads, but those are now showing up in bold, as expected. One thing I immediately...

    D&D General Treasure, trinkets and gems

    Well that's awkward, sorry about that. I know that a long time ago (ie, early 3e days) Phillip Reed did a few little publications focusing on non-magical treasure, which seem to all got wrapped up into The Book of Unusual Treasure. But it doesn't appear to be available anymore, not even as PDF...

    What is the most evocative art you've seen in a TTRPG?

    I enjoy Luka Rejec's art in Ultraviolet Grasslands; as well as Andrew Kolb's illustration for his Neverland and (especially) Oz setting books. Absolutely agree. I was going to say the same of Brom for Dark Sun.

    D&D General Treasure, trinkets and gems

    The Mother of All Treasure Tables is exclusively mundane items, iirc. It's a book of random roll tables for different gp values (for 3.5e, unless it's been updated). It's not separate treasures, though, but rather parcels of treasure. (So a particular roll wouldn't result in, eg, a single object...

    D&D 5E Help me understand & find the fun in OC/neo-trad play...

    I think these are the originals in this post: https://www.enworld.org/threads/e6-the-game-inside-d-d-new-revision.200754/post-3647714 The legends on both graphs are "Leveling alone; leveling with feats; and leveling with feats and magic items." I believe they're qualitative, just to show the...

    D&D 5E Help me understand & find the fun in OC/neo-trad play...

    Here's the original "finalized" E6 thread, fwiw. Aside from all the discussion at the time, it's got links (at bottom of that first post) to the relevant PDFs hosted here at ENWorld, so they shouldn't pose any security risks.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    For some reason, "gritty vanilla" sounds to me like the perfect name for basic, delicious homemade ice cream. Mmmm... gritty vanilla with strawberries. Mmmm.....

    D&D (2024) Check Out D&D's New Gold Dragon Redesign

    It's lovely and mysterious, seems somehow more elemental or alien, much more than just "big magic lizard."

    D&D (2024) Not enough DMs / new edition

    Yes, this. I don't necessarily agree with the single "why" you give, because I think people have many different reasons for not wanting to GM. But whatever those varied reasons are, the net result is that most gamers just don't want to be GM. I don't know that rules can really fix that, since...

    DUNE Movie: Thoughts, Opinions, and Impressions

    Only tangentially related: https://www.gollancz.co.uk/titles/frank-herbert/the-official-dune-colouring-book/9781399620093/ , which, sadly, does not come with a box of crayons that includes one "sky blue" and 47 different shades of orange.

    Threads "marked as read" that I haven't read

    After another "mark forums read" refresh a few minutes ago, I continue to see the behavior. In the attached screenshot the thread "Worst Published Adventure Starts" is not bold (ie, is marked as read), even though I haven't read that thread since I posted this thread in meta, which is right...

    Threads "marked as read" that I haven't read

    Also to note that I don't see any obvious unknown activity on/from my account. If there something suspicious, it's not leaving traces I can detect myself.

    Threads "marked as read" that I haven't read

    I just logged in this morning and noticed that quite a few threads are marked as read even though I haven't read them. Typically, after viewing the threads I'm interested in (eg, at end of my last visit for the day), I'll click the "Mark forums read" button up top on the Community page, so...
