DMs, how do you like to handle counterspell for enemies and players?
Just a note in case anyone is worried I’m adding a mage to every encounter, I very rarely use counterspell against my players; it’s one of the spells I consider to have high “fun-ruining” potential....
How do you feel about the rules regarding bonus action spells, and why?
I’m feeling a bit torn myself. I understand the thinking behind the vanilla rules; it helps balance out some of the spellcasters’ power, especially at higher levels. But my understanding of balance in 5e is that it’s to balance the players against each other, to avoid having 1 or 2 players be so clearly better at so much...
You've got four friends over. They don't play D&D, or any TTRPGs. They spot your cabinet full of awesome D&D minis, and your cool poly dice, and say 'hey could we play now?' What do you do?
Do you have anything prepared for this? Do you say, no but come back in a week?...
The BG3 to DnD pipeline
How many people do you know who got interested in the game because of BG3? I imagine I’m not the only one....
[The Gamer] Hey Hasbro, Please Don't Ruin Dungeons & Dragons With AI (www.thegamer.com)
[Rant] Very new to DND, not sure if my campaign sucks or if this game just isn't for me.
Update: thanks all for the very helpful advice! I think it’s really special that not one of you dunked on my DM. You all seem very supportive of a broad range of play styles and that’s a sign of a very healthy community....
Any tips for a complete noob?

D&D/TTRPG Creators on this platform
I like this platform, and hope it succeeds, however I have a question for the community - what are everyone's thoughts on creators? I am one, for transparency-sake, and I am pretty sure we are not wanted here, since most of us have Adventures/ Art / Battle maps / Patreons / Kickstarters / Products to sell, even though we...

A Pathfinder 2e mechanic that I will henceforth always use in 5e
Like many 5e players, I investigated other systems during the drama in January. I have converted my table over to Pathfinder 2e, so that’s what I’ll mostly be running going forward....
Managing family scheduling and gaming

What is your favorite cleric spell?
I’m new to playing DnD 5e and I’m looking to find some fun spells I may have overlooked for my level 11 light domain cleric. Throwing out fireballs and summoning spririt weapons is a blast but I want to know what other beloved cleric spells I may be overlooking. So lemmy dnd players what are your favorite spells for our...
"I think Wizards balances classes using damage on a single target nova over 3 rounds." Very interesting post I think is worth sharing (www.reddit.com)
Hate to share from the site we definitely don’t think about anymore, but I think this is too interesting to miss. If true, it’s a big insight into the design of the game. All credit to that OP of course....
Regarding OC Posts and Advertising
Greetings DnD, @Devil_Master and I are bringing this topic to the community as a whole for discussion rather than making an executive decision like we had to on Piracy....
Drinks and snacks of choice while playing?
I was curious to see what everyone likes to drink or snack on while playing D&D. I grew up on Mountain Dew and Doritos during sessions, usually with pizza if we playing through dinner (which we almost always did).
