D&D (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

I gave up half way thru.....too much edition warring and complaining about stuff....

But the lore glossary is really cool, and I'd love even more of it.

I have a subscription and it is not showing up. Well it shows up, but when I click on it a page it takes me to the purchase page.

Master tier? I think it needs to be that.

But also it may be still “rolling out”? I know it appeared at slightly different times for folks.

I had some questions about the Lore Glossary but it was lost in this thread. Though it was a subjective question, about any surprises about what was included or not included.

No, I am not master tier. I probably just have to wait for the wide release.

what would be a surprise? That's a tough one to answer......I'll say this. I REALLY like the lore glossary a lot, even though I know almost all of it, it is still helpful to have reminders. The links in dndbeyond to other lore and spells and stuff is great.

Vlaakath being included is a surprise, I guess?

I think there could be more named dragons.....which sounds like something someone could sell as a PDF, collecting all the named dragons from throughout the years.....

I’d really, really like to see monster templates return in a significant way. We’ve got a few, but they’re an afterthought. And just my own personal feelings, but I miss the way that magic used to feel. Maybe it’s rose-colored glasses, but there were just so many spells that had so many varied effects. They were so very specific and niche, but I find it better than the “just flavor your spells” approach. Sticks to Snakes, please! As someone who loves to play a wizard, the default combat approach is often “I cast Ray of Frost” because it’s free and impactful, but not the most flavorful choice.

I took think that it would make sense for the new mm to include their return given the broader cr ranges for monsters being talked up.

Another Variant/optional rule! From arrowed1 on @SlyFlourish discord!

I like it, though I’d still have death. This would be if they make those three death saving throws.

That's surprisingly bordering on being good and a nice example of the kinda tools that GM's should be supplied with. I wouldn't keep the "not dead" part, but the rest works well enough to stomp yoyo/wackamole healing.

. You can influence the pace and tension of your adventure by determining where and when the characters can rest.

It's good to finally have it in writing and not needing to hang that on fiat alone while the rest mechanics themselves had such a low bar that quite a few players get salty over the idea of being told [here/now/like this ] won't allow a rest

I don't think the question was whether the number of big companies should be 2+, it's whether or not a better number would be 0.

Mod note:

Folks, this is off topic for the thread. Please leave it for actual questions about the DMG. Thanks.

Vlaakath might be, though as the Githyanki queen she's quite significant.
