My players want to complete the OGL survey. Can anyone suggest a short video that will help them understand the issues and nuances?

Explain the potential negative consequences to the company Wizards of the Coast if they revoke the Open Gaming License 1.0a The Open Gaming License (OGL) 1.0a is a legal instrument that allows third-party publishers to use certain intellectual property owned by Wizards of the Coast (WotC) in...

They are a HEAVY HITTER. IANAL but the tl;dr appears to be: Hasbro can revoke OGL 1.0a, but also that publishers can write D&D compatible material without it but may get sued by Hasbro...

This Friday my in-person campaign of the last two years resumes after our holiday break. Everyone at the table uses Beyond. However this Friday we will not be using it. The analytics of players and DM from Beyond are a key data point for investors and everyone else. Let's make Beyond a...

These get better with every release. The Lost City is a fantastic volume. Great guidelines, and a BRICK of adventure content. By my count, there are 200 pages of actual adventure content in Lost City. A full 1-7 campaign here but the content is so rich it could easily go further. Then there...

My group will be finishing Descent in Avernus and we're trying to decide what to play next. We've played all the official 5e books. The group members are big fans of Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts. Are there any good 3rd party full-blown adventure paths? I have the Quests of Doom series and...

Notwithstanding the excellent content in these recent videos, I am also impressed with the completely badass chair he possesses. Imposing but not in an iron throne way, no doubt practical in offering comfort during long sessions, and provides advantage on contemplative thought checks.

The Death's Head of Bhaal has the following reaction: Unstoppable (3/Day): the death's head reduces the damage it takes from an attack to 0. Has this ever been in a stat block before? It is nasty--almost resulted in TPK last night. Depending on the circumstance, more powerful than legendary...

I per-ordered Descent from Avernus and just received notice about this significant delay. I guess I should have supported my LGS. Cancelled the order and will be getting the book from local shop instead. Anyone know if there is a more significant issue with the print run or something?

I noticed this last night. Preferable option than Twitch accounts for some.

Wanted: small and evil humanoid type aquatic/coastal creature that is CR 1/4 or 1/8 to provide much needed XP to a party of level 1 adventurers. I have MM, ToF, Volo's, as well as Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts and Creature Codex but I can't seem to find something that fits the bill (Sahuagin...

Our group has been playing 5th since early 2015. We decided that our latest campaign would have a goal of reaching level 20 through XP leveling. We wanted to see for ourselves what the experience of high level play is for both DMs and players. Let me say this: high level play is hard for the...

I haven't seen a post about this yet--the Player's Guide went up (for free) on Drivethru RPG yesterday. I had a quick read of it this morning over coffee and give it two thumbs up.

listed for $800. Was there only a couple hundred of these printed or something? I guess I should stop reading mine on the bus while drinking coffee...

A friend of mine has an interesting theory. Streamers such as Critical Role and the like are a tax that grognards like me pay. The play style of streamers is unrepresentative but for whatever inscrutable reason they attract younger players to the game. The grognard gets the benefits a large...

Several of the hardback adventures identify important agents of the main factions. A quick google, however, has failed to turn up the identity of any outright heads/leaders of the factions. Is my google-fu weak or do we just lack details about this?

Here in Ireland my FLGS doesn't expect to have the limited edition boxed set until the first week of December. Just wondering if anyone else has it yet.

A target of a scrying spell gets a save to resist. Does the target know there was an attempt at scrying, or just that they resisted something? DM discretion?

Goodman Games previously said that they would announce the sequel to Into the Borderlands at Gen Con. However, I heard nothing about it this weekend. Anyone know what gives?

Finally we have it: an official adventure that does not (based on what I've seen) rope players into a meta-plot ('omg death curse, quick teleport level 1 scrubs to Chult because obviously all the level 20 Paladins who would have responded failed') and supports play to level 20. I'm not sure if...
