    D&D General Get A Pet Tiger And Watch It Level Up In Pets & Sidekicks For D&D and A5E

    Well, the subsystems for wildshaping and animal companions in the 2014 PHB suck balls. It's some of the worst stuff in that whole book. The designers of Level Up clearly understood that there's a problem here, but instead of replacing it completely, they chose to just tweak it a bit to...

    D&D General Get A Pet Tiger And Watch It Level Up In Pets & Sidekicks For D&D and A5E

    OK, so is this book supposed to replace the wildshape and beastmaster rules in the Adventurer's Guide? Fingers crossed the answer is "yes". ;)

    Ivan Van Norman Leaves Darrington Press

    That's probably true. Just be aware there's a 2nd edition of that game coming very soon. In August, according to the kickstarter.

    Ivan Van Norman Leaves Darrington Press

    I didn't even know he worked there. I recognize the name and face because for a while he was in a bunch of youtube videos about roleplaying. I'm fuzzy on the details, and can't recall seeing him for several years now.

    White Dwarf Reflections #19

    It's not so much an adventure as a detailed description of a ship type, with a couple pages of suggestions for adventures you might set there.

    Interesting collar on that wizard. As far as I can tell, it's supported by his headpiece, 'cause he has no shirt on.

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – World's Largest Dungeon, Cosmic Dark, Neon City Outlaws, and more

    It seems totally necessary if you trust the reviews of 2024. Those I've seen who have really dug into it, and not just done a flip-through, agree that PCs have gotten some power creep, and that monsters hit harder to compensate.

    Funny, I do the exact opposite. :cool: If I see "5e" or "OSR" I mostly nope right out.

    The first issue I bought, mainly for the RQ scenario.

    Daggerheart Reveals Ranger Class Preview (Exclusive)

    You have to "make an attack". Which I assume means to use some ability classified as an attack, thus not just a friendly tap on the shoulder. But sure, personally I would rule you could use it that way if you thought it was worth it.

    White Dwarf Reflections #16

    You mean "Arden". C&S has a very different vibe from Arduin. Though bizarrely enough, the dinosaur thing is true. "Saurians" was a sourcebook featuring dinosaur-riding lizardfolk (did GW nick the idea from here?). How that was supposed to integrate with the assumed realistic-apart-from-magic...

    Five Takeaways From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Ummm, my definition of a "solo" monster is just that it's by itself in a specific combat encounter. Not that it's necessarily a hermit living all by itself in the wilderness. Most of the solo encounters I've seen in published form have been inside dungeons.
