Even if there is zero Critical Roll connection, a villain like Trent Ikithon is very much someone I could see Hugh Grant doing and doing splendidly. I so badly want to see Trent die horrifically I hate that guy. Everyone expecting the D&D Movie being made to be Serious Business D&D are going...

I like having players think tactically and positioning characters, we’re all about the grid. I find advantage is far too much just from location. Matt Colville’s “Running the Game“ video on the math of D&D really clarified why it felt too much, it’s a huge benefit. A straight +2 is cleaner, but...

So true, Savage Coast in the Red Steel iteration was itself a reinvention of the Savage Coast from what appeared in the Princess Arc episodes in Dragon Magazine. The Red Steel iteration leaned heavily into the “Age of Exploration” theme of Renaissance-level nations encountering stone-age or...

Mystara’s Savage Coast was great that way: lupin, rakasta, tortle, cayma, gurrash (crocodile), lizard folk, wallara (chameleon), manscorpion, aranea, enduk (winged minotaur)…

I wanted a more monstrous species to fit the demonic-spider-worshipping-schemers so I lifted the aranea into that roll. They use their shapechanging to take any PC-eligible-race’s humanoid form, coming natively from a parallel Otherworld that they enter the prime plane in dark shadowy places, or...

So much great advice, thanks everyone! The players are getting done with a continent-spanning/plane-hopping/artifact-collecting/world-saving adventure built from stitching together solo adventures. For the next campaign, I’m bouncing between a published campaign-length adventure path and a...

I’m winding down a campaign that started at 1st level and has now reached 14th, the end might be 16th level PCs. I realize I was quite free with giving out magic item rewards. They players had fun playing out wild item reward wishes. Lotsa legendary items, the players have had a blast. I’m...

True, it is a very expansive definition of the casting of a spell to also include everything produced due to the casting of a spell. And his initiative/surprise rules he wanted. Ooof, and the pages about his wish for stealth/hidden to work like.

This would be a perfect ENWorld poll of DMs, would a DM allow initiative in Hohige’s imagined rules.

What are the common wisdom you see it defying?

Oh man, I hope that’s the case. The supporters have jumped over 5,000 since Arcadia launched. I know Matt wants to be able to pay the authors, artists, and rest of the staff “very well”, as he has said on his live streams.

I’ve been a Patreon supporter of MCDM. Subscribers are hopefully aware that Arcadia is going to only have a run of 3 issues then MCDM is going to pause to see how well or even if it worked. They want it sustaining through subscriptions plus single issue sales in their store. If it looks like...

The retainer was such an unexpected bonus! I hope any subclass they publish in future articles includes a retainer version. I expect my PCs are already going to get a chance to earn a Titan sorcerer retainer. They are now entering the Fire Giant King’s fortress in Against the Giants and there...

Right, the mount ”rules” look to be designed to add onto to the 5e rules, not replace. And it’s not an adding of complexity IMO, any more than adding any a player-controlled monster is adding complexity. There are 6 mounted-variant monster stat blocks, for variants of creatures that were raised...

OMG the Titan Heart Sorcerer is a genius idea! I’m loving this whole issue so much.
