    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    That's not a system failure. That's a table issue.

    5e clearly mentions living expenses and their costs.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    This is what we've been running at my tables in nearly a dozen 5e campaigns for several dozen people. The players feel engaged. They get to use their abilities and fights haven't felt meaningless. It works.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Double up the encounter difficulty and have roughly two per short rest with only one of those per day. Mix up the expected order of encounters so that boss monsters aren't usually last (ish). Yes, that means each fight is longer, but there's more stakes and the heroes are still heroes.

    Hasbro Opens New Wizards of the Coast Video Game Studio in Montreal to Support D&D Franchise

    Yes, that would mean they responded to the playtest. That's not an example of performative testing. That's an example of things being tested and failing. Performative testing wouldn't be concerned with ANY response.

    Are you litigating D&D Next, rather than the current Unearthed Arcana process?

    D&D General They're Building A Memorial Game Table Sculpture In Honor of Gary Gygax

    That's a single brick with 100s of other bricks with people's names on them. When I stop by that brick my family, who lives in Lake Geneva and the surroundings, has no idea why I'm there. It's not similar to the effort in the Kickstarter at all.

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

    I can only comment on what's here. If you want to point out DPR, please do. But I'll still note that ignores the clear and explicit call in the rules that Rituals are a key part of Wizard as is the spellbook. @SlyFlourish calls this Lightning Rods -- they're encounters set up to feature what...

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

    Almost every player at my table, measuring in the dozens, is new to D&D via 5e. They play Wizards. They do not think they lack flavor or viability like the people here are insisting is true. They do use the spell book and talk about wanting to find more spells. Fetch quests for books have been...

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

    I mean, you are comparing a single core class feature, one with an extreme amount of flavor that enables more than just the way you learn spells (only by levelling) to every other classes full feature list. The spellbook is flavorful. Every wizard and scroll you encounter is an opportunity to...
