    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light has been released

    What’s to clarify? It’s clear how the ability works, we just have a few people nit-picking about the wording.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light has been released

    5e is written in plain English, not legalise jargon. That’s the design principle. Thus, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to word a rule. So long as the intent is clear, the rule is clear and correct.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light has been released

    Specific beats general. Core principle. And there are lots of specific examples that enable someone to move out of their turn, such as Dissonant Whispers. This one enables you to move when initiative is rolled. It’s plain, clear, and involves no contradictions.

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    It may be that they don’t have anything to market - they are clearly having problems with their manufacturing and distribution. They don’t want to be marketing for something when they don’t know when it will hit the shelves.

    The Eberron book is a hardback - that’s why it warped. They even posted pictures.

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    The exterior shots of the crowd entering the Neverwinter arena was at Alnwick Castle (with a lot of cgi), the scene where the Thayans arrive by boat under a bridge was in the grounds. The Neverwinter Castle interiors and the scene where the illusionary Edgin fails were filmed at the Bishop’s...

    Are you sure you don’t mean Ireland? So far as I’m aware there was no studio work in England, it was all in the Belfast studios.

    It didn’t need to be filmed in four different countries though. They could have made the exact same film all within 40 miles of Belfast. The English locations where completely wasted.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    There are no “complete” settings. Even the Forgotten Realms still has whole continents that have never been touched. There is always more you can add. Which is why I would prefer more support for existing settings, not new ones.

    Because that worked out really well.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Because it didn’t need one. 5e is akin to GURPS Fantasy, not The One Ring.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    You can only play in one setting at a time, I find it difficult to understand why people keep asking for more.

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    The Forgotten Realms doesn’t really look like any of those, it’s much more high magic, fantastical landscapes and generally heightened. The trouble is, in live action, it will end up looking like those things (and Willow) or just ridiculous, like the WoW movie. In animation? Well, you would...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Unless you expect the PCs to spend most of their time fighting non-human NPCs rather than monsters, this is largely irrelevant.
