    D&D (2024) New Unearthed Arcana Playtest Includes Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    You have single creature summons in the Summon spells from Tasha. These conjure spells are a major improvement over vanilla which were either completely broken or nigh on useless depending on DM fiat and always time consuming during a fight.

    D&D 5E Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

    Monte Cook's Path of the Planebreaker is a kind of 3p manual of the planes though it really delves into new planes rather than established ones.

    D&D (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Let's compare it to eldritch blast. At most the damage output of that cantrip (assuming 4 crits and 22 in your casting stat) is 8d10+24 for an average of 68 vs one target. The sorcerer can do 8d6+6+6d6 (it is pretty clear that exploding dice do not get doubled on a crit and are hard capped by...

    D&D (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Might be missing something here but how are you getting that amount? 4d6(base) doubled to 8d6 on a crit + up to 6d6 from exploding dice so 14d6 at absolute most. Draconic sorcerer can then add +6 to the roll if the damage type matches their affinity. Granted their level 10 feature makes this...

    D&D (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    Weren't they going to limit critical hits to weapon/unarmed attacks only? If they backpedalled on that, I'd suggest changing the spell to target Dexterity saves instead of Armor Class as that would eliminate the critical hit issue. FWIW the crit would double the base dice and then you'd be...

    D&D 5E Upcoming D&D Tidbits: Phandelver, Book of Many Things, Venger, & More!

    Deck of many things based adventure around the same time pathfinder is releasing an AP centering around the Harrow Deck. Second time the big two are having matching theme APs lol.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    More action? The movie barely had space to breathe, it was moving from one setpiece to another. If anything, those little side tracks helped flesh out otherwise very shallow characters.

    Another Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review

    Before going in, my group stated it won't be a true d&d experience unless the heroes spend at least 30 minutes trying to get through a door and in that aspect it certainly delivered 😅

    D&D 5E My Five Favorite Things From Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep

    Including pathfinder since at least one of the Exandrian gods is borrowed from that setting, so feel free to go wild.

    D&D 5E I Think We Need A Bigger Shelf

    I'm not even sure why they're releasing it when Tyranny of Dragons Tiamat works perfectly well in that format and is still available online...

    D&D 5E I Think We Need A Bigger Shelf

    Am I the only person annoyed by the scale of that thing? It almost dwarfs Tiamat and she should by all accounts be the largest chromatic by far. The GF9 red is the optimal ancient dragon size for me. This just feels excessive.

    D&D 5E Changes to D&D's Spellcasting Monsters: Streamlining Your Way To Bliss

    The software part doesn't translate to physical books which continue to be in use. Until D&D moves to digital distribution only, there's no easy way of implementing what you mention while keeping the stat blocks clutter free.

    D&D 5E Changes to D&D's Spellcasting Monsters: Streamlining Your Way To Bliss

    I mean the enemies in motm still have actual damaging spells so those class features will still see use.

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    Oh boy wait till mighty nein get their series and we see Jester drawing dicks in random places. Oh the outrage that will cause! Best get the popcorn ready. Seriously though - I've seen multiple reviewers complain about gore and sex and frankly neither of those things really even stood out to...

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    Erm... it makes perfect sense? The show depicts the character as he was in that stage of his career. He is supposed to rub you the wrong way initially. Over the course of the campaign he develops into a far more sympathetic character (as do the rest of VM to be fair). Now as a new viewer you...
