So, which are the platforms where one can get access to digital versions of TSR/WotC D&D? D&D Beyond (owned by WotC) sells all of 5e materials. DM's Guild (part of Drivethru) sells a huge selection of PDFs of older editions and, in several cases, POD versions as well Roll20 sells 5e materials...

The Book of Many Things contains the feat Cartomancer. It has two features. The first one is straightforward (it grants the Prestidigitation cantrip and you can use it to perform "stage tricks"), the second one is less clear to me. How does that work exactly? AFAIK, imbue is not a "term of...

As a sort of a spin-off from the mothballing thread... what is your personal opinion about the pace of releases for D&D 5e? I'm not asking about whether it is good or bad from the point of view of sales, but how do you feel about it as a customer and as a player.

I've just received an email for a poll on DDB. I found it interesting. I was asked about new material to release apart from the books (presumably it would all be digital). They asked about stuff like sound effects, art, how-to guides, new rules, new monsters, lore drops, short adventures, short...

Just a random idea that came into my mind on a Saturday night... Next year, as we all know, will be D&D 50th anniversary. If I find the time and if I can get some players onboard (two big ifs), it might be nice to run a series of short adventures, one for each edition(*) of D&D. Just wanted to...

Does anyone know what happened to this excellent tool (both for dice rolling and especially for calculating probability distributions) by Torben Mogensen? It had a dedicated webpage (which appears to be dead) with both online use and a downloadable program. I know that there are several...

In a couple of weeks I'm going to run a one-shot of Shadowdark for 4-5 players. We'll have about 4 hours in total; none of us has ever played the game but we'are all experienced with several editions of D&D. I was leaning on using the quickstart with pregens, even though I have the PDF for the...

A friend of mine, who has zero experience with RPGs, has asked some advice about her 11-years-old daughter. The daughter also has no RPG experience, but she's a fan of Stranger Things and is intrigued by D&D. The Phandelver Starter Set is apparently OOP in Italian (the girl doesn't read...

As we're all aware, a lot of the discussion here is currently focused on what is going on with the OGL. There are several posters that are non quite interested in this. While I disagree with their stance, I respect their desire to talk about D&D and D&D-adjacent topics without discussing the...

Does anyone know what is the current status of DDB development? I haven't followed too closely, but there are no more development updates and I think that the devs are also not posting anymore on the forums. The latest software update appears to have been in August and the upcoming "general...

The changes to spell preparations in the latest UA packet have been mentioned, but unless I missed it (entirely possible in the flurry of recent posting) there hasn't been much discussion about them. So, what do people think about them? I'm a bit perplexed. It is true that the difference...

One piece of news from today's flurry of new information, is that there is now a D&D Digital Library, which anyone can access by having an account at WotC's site. So far, there is one free PDF available (Monstrous Compendium - Volume One: Spelljammer Creatures). A Spelljammer adventure will be...

Crusher, piercer and slasher are three feats from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. They are "half-feats" in that they give a +1 stat bonus in addition to other benefits. As anyone considered doing variants of them which are "full feats", i.e. with no stat bonus, but increased benefits?

Basically, what the thread title says. A group is in a combat that they are losing badly and they want to disengage. There's a dead fighter who is too heavy for any single character to carry (low str scores all around...). One character is capable of casting dimension door and thus could...

I've just read the news on an Italian news outlet hich linked this article on the WSJ. According to the piece,

I'm curious about what is the general preference (if any) on this forum for the method to generate stats in 5e.

SKR has posted on his blog about his experiences while working at Paizo and other companies. There is another thread about the Wired article mentioned, but this is more detailed about the specifics of his experiences. An interesting, if sad, reading, IMHO.

The two remaining books announced for this year will be slightly delayed according to this article. I've checked on WotC's site and on D&D Beyond and the new dates (October the 26th for Fizban and December the 7th for Strixhaven) are confirmed.

So, recently Asmodee Italia (who holds the license for the Italian translation of 5e) announced that WotC is taking direct control of the Italian version and that Amsodee will assume just the role of distributor. I wonder if this is related with the suit with Gale Force Nine. Does anyone know...

According to this page on Amazon.com, a new Dungeon & Dragons hardcover title for May will be announced tomorrow. Users in the US see the product below (those in the UK are seeing a Wizkids miniatures set instead). So far signs look like Ravenloft, but we’ll know for sure tomorrow. [Update --...
