The dnd-beyond tag (or otherwise describing D&DBeyond in the question) should be treated as equivalent to the OP stating "I'm playing D&D 5e" For the simple reason that D&DBeyond ...

I think adding the synonym would be a good idea I am coming from a D&D 5e perspective here, where the term "sentient magic item" is favoured, but as such as user, I was unaware that the ...

Write your own answer If it's still only hours or even a few days after asking the question, I'd definitely suggest KorvinStarmast's answer about encouraging one of the answerers to update their ...

Answers are for answers, not comments The flip side of answering in comments, it might be good to explain to new users why answers should answer the question and not be more like comments, addressing ...

Editing closed questions puts them back in the review queue, and if the edit was unrelated to the close reason, the question will be kept closed Firstly, I will point out that I've done exactly the ...

To throw my own answer out there, I'd say that we should revise our definition of system guessing. Whilst there may be plenty of ambiguity between, say, a Pathfinder question and a D&D question, ...

We are an edit happy community To try to avoid situations like this one, it might be worth having something here to explain how here at RPG.SE, we tend to edit posts into shape, so new users who might ...

At worst, you could repost their answer as your own (with credit) This doesn't help if you have less than 10k rep, but in this case that's not a problem. If the user doesn't undelete their answer and ...

This answer was superseded by an update as outlined in the answer here. (Note, this is the same as my answer to the duplicate question I asked: Why shouldn't I edit a question that has been closed?...

Don't signal your edits If new users are more used to forums where it's common to say "EDIT: Blah blah" instead of just making the edit, it might be good to point them in this direction to ...

Their question should be reworked into something that isn't a duplicate Since their question is essentially the same as the other two questions, but their answers all talk about UA: Mass Combat, which ...

I wish it were possible to have mandatory tags, like in meta. In meta, you must specify one of the dark tags (e.g. discussion) to be able to post it at all, unlike the lighter "normal tags" (...
