Hit me last night that among the 2024 lineup announcements, no mention was made of a 2024 Starter set. Can't imagine there won't be one at all, so wondering if they just haven't locked down a date for it or if instead of coming out before the PHB like the 2014 Starter set did it will come in...

Pure speculation here, but thought it might make for an interesting discussion since this will be the first time that a Core rules revision will be available in a digital format from the start, and with a huge user base. Here's what I'm guessing for the PHB, which is based on believing that...

Got my Deck of Many Things delivered last night, and while I haven't had a chance to dig into it, I've got to say the entire package is simply gorgeous, and I'm glad they delayed the release to fix the issues with the early printing of the cards. Will be digging into the deck and the book over...

While we're still in Act 3 (and 160 hours) of my first play thru of BG3, my wife (who I play in split screen with) was out of town this weekend, and I thought to give Honor Mode a go just for fun. 3 hours in, I got my party killed. This thread is dedicated to describing how you TPKed out of...

This summer, a new free streaming channel will be launched by eOne, the entertainment company owned by Hasbro. It will be ad-supported and available on multiple (as yet unspecified) platforms and feature a mix of animation, third party influencers, and actual play shows. The old 1980s Dungeons...

I was so looking forward to getting a look at the revised Monk with this playtest, and was bummed that it wasn't there, but my thoughts immediately went to the question of why. I'm guessing it's because the Monk class may be the most heavily redesigned of all of the classes so far. I think the...

With 4 playtest packets out and half the class redesigns revealed, thought it might be an interesting time to get a sense on how we all feel about the direction of 1D&D. What started for me as Very High to High with the first packet release has dropped to Meh level, and while I realize it's...

A lot of interesting changes in here. The one that immediately caught my eye was Exhaustion. Now with 10 levels before death, with each level resulting in a -1 to all d20 tests. I wonder if being knocked unconscious and failing death saving throws will now come with exhaustion levels. Also...

Simple question, but feel free to expand on what you have play tested in a gaming session below! I've had 2 sessions with the material from the Rules Glossary, including Nat20/Crit rules and Unarmed Strikes, but have yet to test Character Race, Background, or Feats.

Last night was my group's first Spelljammer AP adventure, and I decided to ask if they'd be interested in trying out the new Nat20/Crit rules. 3 of the 4 players hadn't heard about the playtest, but after a brief discussion about it and ensuring them that we could go back to the 2014 rules...

The new human racial ability in the UA playtest made me smile so much when I read it. Such a beautiful mechanic to represent the boundless optimism of our race. So how about a thread to share what you are inspired about when you wake up? For me today, it's that I'll be able to help my...

A little over a year ago, I start toying with a new 0 HP rule variant in this thread Original 0 HP Concept and continued to tweak while finishing up an existing campaign. Last month, during session 0 of our new campaign, I proposed the below version of that concept, and the players decided to...

Goal: Provide a disincentive to players to allow themselves to drop to 0 HP that doesn't result in a death spiral or 5MWD. Encourage players to avoid unnecessary combat and retreat from combats going poorly to regroup and attempt another direction to achieve their goal. Increase the drama and...
