Dude, you tell me how a normal person would see an orc representing any race in the actual world. WotC went that way to detract from their own human resources problems. The only person who would go with the line of reasoning put out to orcs, would proudly wear a white hood.

Let's put racism into context for D&D for what WotC believes is racist: WotC puts together a focus group: WOTC: "When you visualize an orc, what do you see" Normal Human being 1: "green skin, fur hats with horns and big fangs saying - work complete!" Normal Human being 2: "reddish face...

Oh but we'll keep getting more Magic The Gathering content shoved down our throats again.

Components with a cost are tracked. Its also used as an adventuring hook early on. When your arcane caster takes identify and you have an item with a magic aura and they go to identify it and you ask them if they have a pearl and they say no. Well now you have a quest to find one. Whether it...

For me, the game is too early to play. I'll be holding off a few months before I dip back into it. The writing at times is good. The way how the mind flayer and tadpoles interact with players and how the player reacts to being controlled is spot on and will help me to be a better GM. I'm...

The easiest to homebrew is: D&D Beyond + Beyond 20 extension for your browser + Discord to see the rolls. Dungeonfog + Zoom for the maps. I use the zoom annotation display spell effects and sticky notes for windows to display statuses.

If you like Gwent there is Matthew Colville's Stronghold and Followers rules for mass combat. Out of 5 players only one liked it. One actively hated it and even though I told him its the last hour of the session he doesn't have to stay he still complained about it. There is the table for how...

For 5E past 5th level, its about 20 hours of play time going on XP based advancement with xp also being granted for doing specific quest/help actions. I'll be about 1 1/2 years to get everyone up to level 20 for 5E. Mind you my party is special and didn't take fireball or most other AE spells...

EA tried to sell a MLP online rp game, it tanked and tanked hard. I could see it doing well as a boxed game you'd take out to have some fun. But to spend 2 years in a MLP campaign, not gonna happen.

So Hasbro is trying to liven up its old IP using 5E. Best of luck with that one. If there is one thing D&D players are looking for is to roleplay My Little Pony. GI Joe has a slight possibility of success out of those three.

Hey I'll I'm running an online campaign of four and I can add 1 to 2 more players. We use D&D Beyond for character sheets and roll from DD Beyond directly into Discord via app. We use Zoom for maps and tokens. There is some homebrew rules. Most of the races from the players handbook, volo's...

Hey if you two are interested in play let me know. Send me a DM with your discord and we can chat about the campaign I'm running. I'm using D&D Beyond + Discord to handle roles and character sheets and Zoom+ Dungeonfog to run the maps and tokens. Its just so much easier to run the game that...
