    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Some people feel weirdly proud about the incredible feat of... checks notes... preferring some things over others... Congratulations, I guess?

    I suppose it's in contrast to ye olde "browns & frowns" of yore

    Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Teases Ravenloft Content for Upcoming Expansion

    "Finally! News about upcoming products!" — Me seeing the title and having not idea that "Horrified" was it's own thing and it doesn't have anything to do with the RPG

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    If they are talking about D&D youtubers and influencers branching out of D&D into other games that's mainly a result of the OGL crisis and a not insignificant part of them "dropping" D&D. That has been corrected. Most are talking about D&D again with a sprinkle of other games (mostly...

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Those new hires would certainly be on the road map for 2027. There was already a robust enough design team without this new hires. Although it is weird we don't have news about the 2026 road map.

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    For some reason this post triggered my memory so I took the book from the shelf: 1. Salted Legacy takes place in Siabsungkoh 2. Written in Blood takes place in Godsbreath 3. Fiend of Hollow Mine in San Citlán 4. Wages of Vice in Zinda 5. Sins of Our Elders in Yeonido 6. Gold for Fools and...

    Leon Barillaro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Singular they has been in use since the 14th century. I've been using it for at least 25 years and English is my second language. As for the rest... I'll just refer to my previous comment.

    50 years ago you would be complaining about them hiring a bunch of she/hers. The same old sexism repackaged for the modern day.

    D&D's Forgotten Realms Books Hit With Delays in Europe and Asia

    For once I'm glad. Mothership and Mausritter months were straining the budget already

    Free League Publishing Announces New One Ring Adventure

    It has to be said that every supplement that has added "adventure locations" offers a campaign outline you can run with them. Granted. It's not as robust as a full adventure or campaign but it does gives you a rundown on what you could do with the locations.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I saw somewhere "Warrior of the Drunken Fist" and I think it fits perfectly. Warrior of Intoxication sounds like someone who eats bad shellfish to get their powers. The chuds are going to have a good one just from that name alone.

    D&D 5E (2024) Tyranny of Dragons 10 year anniversary Beadle and Grimm’s Legendary box set

    Hoard is a railroad, which, for an adventure that was meant for newbies is not that bad*. Tyranny was more open, although it could also be run as a railroad. I've ran it three times for three different groups of newbies and a failed fourth and they all enjoyed it very much. With minimal...

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    Have they? From what I've seen it seems to be almost exclusive BLM's creation. At most they've said that Chris and Jeremy have designed homebrew on demand.

    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    I like some "pundits" as Mike Shea calls them. Mike's Lazy DM Talk Show is one, also Shawn Merwin and Teos Abadia's Mastering Dungeons. Guys can be very critical without falling into clickbait or axe grinding.
