I really wanted to call this the "Lazy DM Cheatsheet", but I didn't feel comfortable using Michael Shea's brand. So here we are....

Friends! In case you didn’t know it, there’s an awesome volunteer-run website called https://open5e.com/ that includes tons of OGL-released 5e material. If you’re looking for a quick spell or monster lookup, this is your place. If you’re developing a system of your own, you can access the data there through an API in a...

Hi, my name is Khan and I am the person behind Devabhumi. I am of Indian origin, and I have always been interested in non-European rpg settings. There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns. Devabhumi is a high fantasy...

I’ll be DMing some more 5e soon and I want to take the opportunity to try some different ways of playing (I’ll post my own suggestions as comments so they can start their own discussion threads). What alternate rules have you tried that you thought worked well? They can be larger changes to the game or little QoL tweaks...

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....

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....

So I play an Ancients Paladin in one of my games and have the 7th lvl feature, which is resistance to magic damage caused by spells. Sounds great on paper....

I’ve noticed a big gap in the Epic game session realm when it comes to good tools for enhancing the gameplay. I’ve seen attempts, but nothing on the level of what it could be....
