Several party members are in a dungeon together, but one party member has (perhaps foolishly) run off by themselves, and is now separated from the rest of the party by several hundred feet. This so...
Rumours tell that Vampire: The Masquerade was designed with purpose to be a trainwreck when it comes to the mechanics, so that people would not use them. Was this really the case? And what evidenc...
I can confirm that they played board games together. Mentzer is a fan of Ticket to Ride, and used to play it with Gygax. (This is per a conversation I had with Mentzer.) Doesn't quite answer your...
In D&D 3 (and related games), a spcetre can easily kill normal people and spawns other spectres, leading to an exponential apocalypse fairly easily. What reliable means of long-term protection...
Being a person with some semblance of a real life, and the same applying to my players, I often find myself in the position of only having several hours of free time on Saturday - Shabbat (the Sabb...
A "mystery cult" is an anthropological term for a religion which keeps some items of faith (and usually practice) secret, known only to those who are selectively initiated into the religion. The te...
As far as I understand, the term is sporadically used in the indie community or former Forge diaspora. I searched for it in the Forge archives, but got no hits. What is the source of the term and ...

Maybe (Ask your DM) Remember; Crafting A Magic Item is an optional Downtime Activity available to the DM to offer. Your DM may use these rules as presented, but interpreting vagaries is left to D...
In 5e, every wizard can copy any wizard-class spell into a new spellbook at a minimal cost in time, but preparing a spell is a much more involved activity, described in Xanathar's Guide to Everythi...
In the DMG (p. 128) it is stated that to craft a magical item during downtime, a character must have a formula that describes the construction of the item. However, it does not give any more ...
This is a great application for a wiki! Any wiki will do, but I especially recommend one in which you can offer logins for your players so that you can classify information for yourself, for the p...
Did Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer play together in one more sessions of D&D (or some other roleplaying game)? They worked at TSR and co-authored D&D products. One would expect one of them t...
I have a lot of things I need to keep track of for a game: NPCs, monsters, the different cities in the world, the lore and history of the world... Of course, I'm unlikely to need to know the name ...
Yes. As stated in the spell description (and as you include in your answer): The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. Emphasis...

Wish is the most powerful spell in D&D, being able to alter the very foundations of reality with one spell. The description for use of the Wish spell in the Player's Handbook is this: The b...

The players in a Princes of the Apocalypse campaign I'm DMing have just defeated Morbeoth, a one-eyed shiver in the Crushing Wave cult. One player saw the magical orb he had in his eye socket and i...
In this particular case, the player needs Electrical Repair. Mechanical Repair will let them make the antenna mechanically sound, but not test continuity. If a player has Mech Repair but not Elec R...
Looking at the Call of Cthulhu 7E character sheet, I see two "investigator skills" that look very similar to me: "Elec Repair" and "Mech Repair". One is short for Electrical Repair, the other for M...

We've made a few modifications to the rules for Wild Magic surges during this campaign that I feel have enhanced my experience. Here are a few of the things we've changed: Make the table more rele...
In my current 5e campaign that I'm a player in, I'm playing as a Wild Magic Sorcerer. The main attraction of the Wild Magic subclass is the Wild Magic Table, which is a list of 50 random magical ef...
