I have been running a group through some of the Saltmarsh adventures. They never interacted with the lizardfolk plotline and I mistakenly believed that the Lost Laboratory of Kwalish would get me to level 10 or nearly so based on misreading the blurb. Which said the adventure was suitable for...

I think that within the granularity of 5e the distinction between composite and non composite is meaningless. The nomenclature used in D&D is also misleading and is a legacy carryover. The real distinction is between hunting bows and war bows. The former represented by short bows and the latter...

Personally, I think that D&D's short bow and longbow distinction is pure nonsense, and it should be preplaced by Hunting (light) bow [1d6P] no strength requirements. The medium bow [1d8P] martial but no STR restriction and the war bow [Martial, STR 13, and 2d4+2P] or something like that.

I flat out do not believe it. If someone that senior was behind it, it would have gone through. If a CEO put their prestige on the line only the board could really stop him.

I am going to respond to this without reading the other responses, because it triggered some thoughts. Some along the lines you mention before I completely read your post. Subclasses: Why third level; In my opinion, the third level entry point for subclasses is that D&D classes have had a...

Interesting, Gamemasters seemed convinced that it was North American customers that lost early access, having ordered the bundle and that the marketplace update was to blame. So I wonder if you know of North American pre-order people have got their early access.

I would refer you back to the Gamemasters video where he ordered both and has not received the early access release. I was wondering if other have had a similar experience?

Gamemasters Youtube Channel purchased Vecna Eve of Ruin on the belief that he would get early access to the digital copy. As did I, but I bought only the digital copy and I cannot find my email acknowledging the purchase. And the relevant D&DBeyond thread. Anyone else have issues?

Maybe I am showing my age in my remarks. ... mutter.. mutter ... young'un these days....

Ok, that is not as bad as I was imagining but still if you are stressing out and feeling pressured to run games, that is not healthy. If running the game is a cause of anxiety and stress you need to accept that and find the root of that. Take time off if needed and you remember, you are not...

Man!, I ain't really going to give advice, you have got all the advice you need. Now I really do not need to know the answer but running a rpg session at a wedding party (seems odd to me but...) then driving 4 hours and running another session (at 4 a.m.) and you gotta ask: Why? That has got to...

Apparently we do I was wrong

Heh! and that is being efficient, I have over 300 hours and only one actual play through.

Some interesting analysis from Treantent's Monk In short, profits and profit margins are up at WoTC and Hasbro has spent a billion on acquiring game studios and the only big game mentioned in a G.I. Joe game.

Oh! Absolutely agreed. I would say that a couple of instigator players are more valuable in a sandbox situation than the DM.
