    Literally just hit 90 an hour ago, monk main. Enjoying the stories so far, but seems to be a running theme of "turning your enemies into friends by solving their internal conflicts"

    D&D General Hasbro CEO Says AI Integration Has Been "A Clear Success"

    I just can't figure out what sane engineer or accountant or other office worker would use a tool that has a chance, however small, of hallucinating data.

    D&D Movie/TV There’s a Baldur’s Gate TV Show Coming!

    Pretty enthused. I had a Dalelands campaign that went to level 9 or so before we ran Storm King's Thunder, and the end is in sight for that. Might have to revisit.

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

    What I would really love is a 5e take on the Book of Lairs - just a big book of 2-page encounters featuring a different monster or NPC for each. Easy drop-in encounters.

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

    Without reading the thread, Heroes of Athas Adventures in Athas Athas DM Screen Tenser's Tome of Totality - the next player-oriented crunch book A 5e-style campaign adaptation of TOEE. A too-late BG3 tie-in of dubious relevance

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition
