Because this thread must exist, here's where we celebrate the very existence of Dungeons & Dragons (and of tabletop roleplaying games in general). Very Happy



Crappy, misogynist DM is crappy and misogynist. Razz

Be sure to check out the d20 Monkey webcomic while you're at it.

Parental Advisory: Cussin' and the odd bit of mild sexual stuff. Hide the kids!

So can beholders turn off their hovering and flying long enough to be hurled from a catapult?

With so much Good versus Evil jazz going on, it's easy to forget that Law and Chaos have their beefs too.

...speaking of paladins, bards and rogues, here we have a story arc with Sam running his father and his regular troupe of players through the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks:

...and then there's this nameless and unheralded webcomic:

Just ask any outdoorsman: No matter how much you love Mother Nature, there's always something in the natural order that pisses you right off.  (Yes, chiggers and poison ivy, I'm looking at you.)

I love me some undead.  It's one of my Dungeon Master quirks.  Smile
Fun with Dungeons & Dragons NamelessWebcomic01-05


See, that's my one beef with Tolkien (well, that and the grossly belabored scenery porn): Entire races that are evil for evil's sake.  At least try to come up with a psychological reason for that inclination!  Orcs?  Social conditioning in a perverse culture which identifies bullying, robbery, rape and slaughter as virtuous displays of strength.  Undead?  Dim memories of their former mortal lives, twisted by their tormented state into sheer envy and hatred towards the living.  Individual Evil-friendly mindsets?  Vengeance without restraint, irrational hatred and bigotry, arrogance, unchecked thirst for power, lack of a sense of consequence, lack of a sense of personal responsibility, the aforementioned envy or spitefulness ("I suffered, so why shouldn't everyone else suffer too?"), an aggressive Messiah Complex ("I am the one sent from On High to cleanse our world of undesirables!" "...and what exactly constitutes an 'undesirable?'" "Do not question the righteousness of your savior!"), and so on.  And in the case of created creatures which were created to be evil, we should examine the motives of its creator (although the creation should be examined as well.  Is it truly self-aware?  Is it genuinely malevolent and in willing agreement with its master's motives, or is it simply unaware that its actions are malevolent and thus is likely to turn away from evil if somehow enlightened?).

You should always be able to answer the question of "Why is this guy evil?" with something besides "He just is, okay?".  And ideally, you should be able to apply the same standard to Good, Law, Chaos, moral Neutrality and/or ethical Neutrality as well.  Rant ends.
Fun with Dungeons & Dragons NamelessWebcomic01-06


Eh, this right here is just sloppy DM work.  It should be like the rote about a bunch of incredibly lifelike statues in one location being hints that a medusa is nearby: If you're wandering around and you see specks of rust everywhere (like the crumbs and dregs from a meal that you simply couldn't eat down to the last molecule...), a bunch of jumbled wooden planks in every doorway (those being the remains of a door after something destroyed the door's hinges, latch(es), doorknobs and/or handles, bolts, nails, screws and any riveted iron bands holding all those planks together...) and missing metallic fixtures (including locks, bars, chains and sconces) where such metallic fixtures should normally be, then there's probably one or more rust monsters nearby.  Upon seeing such signs, either make ready to deal with a rust monster or turn around and GTFO.

Remember the original Dungeons & Dragons cartoons circa the beginning of the 80's?  Sure you do.  Wink  


Well, apparently Brazil recently rolled out a car commercial.  Guess which characters and setting are involved.  Very Happy


And if Google's not lying to me about its Portuguese-to-English translations, apparently a live-action Dungeons & Dragons movie is in the works.   bounce

No, not that one again....  No


The world needs a live-action Dungeons & Dragons: The Cartoon: The Movie movie, now more than ever.  Even if most people won't admit it.

Discuss!   Smile

So we've been seeing this image meme making the rounds lately:

Fun with Dungeons & Dragons ICastFireball


It's funny, but I'd like to remind everyone that Wizards and Sorcerers have many other spells which are very dangerous — perhaps suicidal, or perhaps even entire-own-party-cidal — if cast in close quarters.

Fun with Dungeons & Dragons ICastCircleOfDeath


Of course, a reckless Druid can be equally fearsome...

...as can a reckless Cleric.

"1 for All" is a great YouTube series!  Very Happy

You Meet in a Tavern....


Stealthy Approach


Perception Check

("As far as you can tell" are truly the most horrifying words that could come out of your Dungeon Master's mouth!)

Roll to Seduce


Murderhobo

(When your party's Chaotic [Neutral/Evil] pyromaniac Tiefling Sorcerer becomes the voice of reason, you're definitely doing something wrong!)


More to come!  Very Happy
