    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    … all written in invisible ink, to boot! More seriously, I wonder if their recent experiences with printing and shipping delays have made them a little gun-shy about announcing new products before the books are actually coming off the printing press and getting loaded onto trucks.

    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    I went to go see a discussion about DMing, and a car fight broke out…

    D&D General Rewarding player empathy: restoring an NPC’s wings in a starter adventure (Stormwreck Isle)

    I was going to suggest a spell scroll with the Regenerate spell on it. Fudge the rules so that the Bard or Paladin can cast it (maybe the other can assist to provide Advantage). But I think the potion idea is better.

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    Wait… you guys are letting PCs live long enough to reach level 4?!

    D&D 5E (2024) Help Me Fill Out a Treasure Hoard

    i’d love to see a breakdown of the hoard you ended up generating. And what did they leave behind?

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's Write A High Level Adventure

    Just spitballing here, but… I agree that “save-the-world-from-the-apocalypse” isn’t the most original or most compelling story to tel at high level. So maybe the adventure should be an epic quest to FIX or RESTORE something in the world. So for instance: The reason there are no new artifacts...

    D&D General What’s the Real Hellfire Club?

    The original Hellfire Club had girls AND sandwiches?!?! Sign me the [REDACTED] up!

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 4 Episode 4 is a High-Octane Rollercoaster

    This is how I watch it these days… though I often split up the second part between Monday and Tuesday. Depending on one’s schedule, you could also watch an episode on Saturday and Sunday. You’d just be a week behind.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Speaking as someone who is exclusively a player, I always get the DMG… for all the cool magic items I’m hoping will show up in the campaign. Other than that, I have it on good authority that nobody reads the DMG.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hellfire Club Starter Set

    This is a great idea! If it were me, I’d have them meet up with the kids from the 80s cartoon, then they all have to find their way to the only roller-coaster/dimensional-portal in Greyhawkins that can take them all home.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    I just got caught up on a Wizard thread, and there were 10 pages of arguments about whether or not Bless was a good spell. So maybe Wizards ARE extinct, after all.

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    Seems to me that if you’re doing a pirate campaign, at some point it’s mandatory to have an exceptionally strong storm blow the ship off course to an undiscovered island, and then run “Isle of Dread.” EDIT: Also… kraken.

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    Our long-running 5E (2014) campaign wrapped up over the summer. The DM is an old-school guy at heart. He thought D&D 2014 already made PCs too powerful, so I don’t think there was ever a chance he’d run the 2024 rules. The new campaign is 1E (OSRIC), with 1.5E weapon proficiency rules. He...

    Magpies. Also, the first roll of the campaign (from Liam) is a Nat 20.

    For the record… Brennan’s first mention of birds came three minutes into the episode
