    D&D 5E Aarakroca Carrying Capacity

    The lack of coconut jokes in this thread disappoints me.

    D&D 5E Announcement Next Week--What Hints For Upcoming D&D Books?

    Dragonlance back in the day made interesting use of the Battlesystem rules and a range of isomorphic maps for the War of the Lance. If they’re likely to be returning to that event/timeframe, I’m curious if a release will be built to include mass combat systems and perhaps even some sort of...

    D&D 5E Revisited Setting News: Its not the 2023 Classic setting, but rather for 2024

    You could do a Saltmarsh-style Spelljammer book that’s a mix of updated adventure, interstitial new elements traveling around, and bits of possibly jamming to other outside adventures.

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE LIVES! Unearthed Arcana Explores Heroes of Krynn!

    Apologies for Not Reading The Entire Thread, but a few thoughts from a bit of a DL Grognard (who’s never thought that the post-2000 game has gotten it quite right, as much as Sovereign Press worked at it). I can understand not having a specific Handling mechanic (it creates an odd thieving mini...

    RPG Evolution: The Half-Edition Shuffle

    I fondly remember the days of running my older brother’s B/X and 1st Edition adventures in our 2nd Edition campaign (where a number of characters were built straight out of the UA-era Dragonlance Adventures book anyway), at most swapping in a different version of the same monster if I felt like...

    D&D 5E Troll-blooded fast-healing characters?

    Reattaching a limb feels a bit strong to do without other Magic for someone of merely troll bloodline (versus a proper troll), but I could see adding proficiency in Death saves to the ability to spend HD (since hit dice are a limited resource themselves).

    D&D 1E AD&D Monster Manual II back cover text - WTF?

    Valley Elf walks in wearing his Member’s Only Jacket…

    D&D 5E Limiting Cantrips?

    As much as folks talk about monsters borrowing from character design, this is a place where I wonder if characters can borrow from monster design. I’ve kicked around the idea of cantrips and other more potent “at will” abilities getting a refresh die like many monster powers. Perhaps different...

    D&D 5E Why do Monks only have d8 HP instead of d10 HP?

    What strikes me as the basic reason is the balance between HP and AC, or more broadly the classes’ ability to absorb damage versus resist damage. The monk — between higher natural AC, deflection abilities, and bonus dodge actions — can avoid taking damage without the negative impact (weight...

    D&D 5E Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

    Aremag is really neat! Aremag is full of meat!

    D&D 5E Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

    I’m curious to see how closely the Draconians read, given their reskinning: Baaz/Foot Soldier, Bozak/Dreadnought, Kapak/Infiltrator, Sivak/Mastermind, Aurak/Mage would be my guess here

    D&D 5E Monsters compared- new vs old versions

    Reading that change to False Appearance gives me a visceral reaction — Bad WotC! Don’t return to giving us rules bloat and Target DCs! Tell the DM that it looks like a tree and let sneaky descriptions, paranoid players, and “call I roll…?” gut checks continue to rule the day!

    Dragonlance What Happened To The New DRAGONLANCE Trilogy?

    I was about to go and track down where Weis had commented on the first book being out next year (no one seems to know where that Amazon date came from), but Morrus did us all a solid by flexing his muscles. (with the old Dragonlance message boards recently shut down, finding Weis’s recent...

    Marvel TV Schedule: what are you excited about?

    Chances are that Ms. Marvel will come out January 2022, which is as good as Late 2021 anyway amidst all the delays on productions during COVID. Unless there are fewer than six episodes in that series (WandaVision had nine shorter episodes to the six longer episodes of Falcon & the Winter Soldier...
