    Only on DDB. Elsewhere, D&D is one among many.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    That would require Wizards to fail an Insight check and a Perception check intentionally.

    D&D General Steampunkette's Bard Redesign

    The mechanically interesting part of a homebrewer's work is when they do something the original designers of a given class have overlooked or didn't consider when designing the class. There is also the moment when a homebrewer has outdone the original designers. @Steampunkette when she came up...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    The problem with using the word version in place of edition is that one is a synonym of the other. So, you are really saying the same thing either way when it comes to 5.5. Using Revised is the better option.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    The definition for the word, edition, is a particular form or version of a published text. I don't think the e means escapable. 😛

    D&D General Steampunkette's Bard Redesign

    Your Bardsong feature reminded me of a similar class feature made by Laser Llama. Chords of Power. Your skills allow you to reproduce minor portions of the Song of Creation, known as Chords of Power. At 2nd level, you can reproduce two Chords, which you choose from the list at the end of this...

    Video D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    If 5.5 is a version of 5e and not an edition, it would be 5.5v. ;)

    While this is true, they're probably joining groups who do have access to and might still be using the 2014 books.

    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    You sure we aren't looking at one of Bigby's spells in action? ;) Bigby's Fetching Hand.

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Arcana Unleashed, New Magic-Themed Sourcebook at $49.99 Price Point

    Some Lego kits have basically become 3-dimensional puzzles that allow you to build things like the USS Enterprise-D or an Imperial Star Destroyer. They're no longer just for kids or teens. Ditto for D&D. The books, The Book of Vile Darkness and The Book of Exalted Deeds for 3e were explicitly...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Arcana Unleashed, New Magic-Themed Sourcebook at $49.99 Price Point

    And yet a lot of those 12-year-olds grew up to be older people who still loved playing D&D and played it every chance they got. We were all 12 years old once upon a time.

    The perfect item for Bards (College of Glamour, College of Eloquence) and Rogue (Swashbuckler). ;)

    Actually, they weren't supposed to have tails in order to distinguish them from the Half-Dragons. Then along came the Draconblood Dragonborn from the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount book who did sport tails. :p I doubt that many players or DMs cared about that restriction. I certainly didn't...

    Dungeons & Dragons Announces Arcana Unleashed, New Magic-Themed Sourcebook at $49.99 Price Point

    I could see that happening. Something that could cover the Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue and Monk. However, I don't think we would have to wait very long for any new stuff on the 5e Fighter. Steel & Skill: The Complete Fighter's Field Guide by EN Publishing will probably be out...

    D&D General When Was it Decided Fighters Should Suck at Everything but Combat?

    Even when that class comes with a number of subclasses in tow? You can have two players playing the same class and the same subclass, or you could have them playing completely different subclasses to really open up those new avenues of gameplay. Besides even if they did the former together...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    The Backgrounds in Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms has the 2024 background info as a set of optional rules in addition to the regular 2014 background info. This book also has something like the 2024 weapon masteries, but they go one step further in that you get some new weapon feature at...

    It took them a while to make that Insight check. :p

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Is Now OFFICIALLY Called "5.5e"

    When you put it that way, I would say that it does become a 5e-adjacent as some players are staying with the original 5e (O5e) regardless of what 2024 offers.
