Having posted about this subject previously, I was disheartened at how many 5e players think they understand their game without really understanding how the rules of this game actually work. As such, it bears discussing just what the One playtest has changed. I’m going to open that discussion...

The disparity between martial and magical classes is growing. The best of the martial builds got kneecapped, but there is no evidence of that lost damage potential being regained elsewhere. Given that magical classes still have something of an edge as is, that’s not a good change. Invisibility...

The title says it all...

I finally got a chance to start a Curse of Strahd campaign. I thought I would share my campaign blog.

I just thought I would share an image I photoshopped of the party I DM for...

Hey, everyone. I just wanted to share something I have been working on. It's the first (good-copy) 39 pages of a campaign setting I have been writing. Enjoy! EDIT: So, it turns out that you cannot put campaign settings up on the DMGuild. I took down my own work as a result. I will, eventually...

So, I recently created a Ravnican Vampire. I am, however, currently running my own setting: Age of Arcana. The Cetzch/Slavic and late 17th century feel of that vampire isn't quite right for my largely early 17th century, Gaelic, French, Saxon, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian...

I put it up on the DMGuild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/259321/Ravnican-Vampire-Fledgling-Player-Race-and-Racial-Feats. Enjoy!

Does anyone know why the Dungeon Master Guild doesn't allow us to submit Ravnica based content? I just finished up creating a Ravnican Vampire, Fledgling PC race. Considering how weak Ravnican vampires are compared to the usual D&D settings, and considering how easy it is to imagine a PC vampire...

This is my attempt to create a balanced Dark Sun half-giant that FEELS large, but mechanically speaking, is medium in size (to keep with 5e design parameters). Thoughts? Medium Half-Giant Ability Score Increase: Your Strength score increases by 2. Your Constitution score increases by 1. Size...

In both "find steed" and "find greater steed," the text says that the creature has the statistics of the creature you choose. It also says, "you control the mount in combat." I originally took that to mean that the player could choose what actions it takes during combat. However, on page 198 of...

Idle curiosity is eating away at me...

I want to be very clear: Ravnica is a damn cool setting. The more I look up information about the setting, the more I think to myself, "huh... that would be a pretty cool environment to DM." I'm probably going to buy the setting and give it a whirl. The D&D team has earned a LOT of credit from...

Hey everyone. I want to add a little more tactical depth to character positions in combat. I don't, however, like the existing flanking rules in the DMG. I was thinking of using this instead. I would appreciate some second opinions... Flanking and Overcrowding (Failed Effort) If two allied...

You have mastered the art of using weapons in close-quarters. You gain the following benefits: · When you successfully grapple a creature or escape a grapple, you may make a single attack with a light melee weapon you are wielding as a bonus action. Additionally, whenever a creature...

The title says it all. I am specifically looking for feedback regarding the new feats and the way my "Crack Shot" class interacts with the guns I am using...

Hey everyone. My homebrew world (Age of Arcana) has both a campaign specific feat and a fighter subclass called Gunslinger. I hate reusing the same name twice like that. I can't, however, seem to come up with a second name that fits for either option. The best I can come up with is Firearms...

Jay, James, Dylan, Jon, and Zach, if you happen upon this thread, back out now! With that out of the way, I could use some help brainstorming some ideas. In my home brew setting, my group is about to come into possession of a deck of many things. This deck will be a modified...

I'm currently preparing the 3rd part of a 3 part campaign for my players. In the 3rd part, they will end up traveling from their Prime Material world (a homebrew setting I call Age of Arcana) to a demiplane which is pretty much The Land the Gods Refuse to See from Zak S.'s A Red and Pleasant...
