    D&D (2024) Where are the real previews?

    Per the fireside chat they're in printout review stage now on the 2024 Player's Handbook. We're not getting actual previews until that phase is done and the book is out the door to be printed. Until the files are sent, changes might happen, and they don't like giving previews that they then have...

    D&D 5E Free 'Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth' Adventure on D&D Beyond

    One of these days after Quests is out I might go through and total up how many pages of just stat block reprints it would be to include every MM creature in the book. Then we can talk about which pages from the book you'd want to sacrifice to make room for them. I'm sympathetic to wanting the...

    D&D 5E Free 'Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth' Adventure on D&D Beyond

    See I love learning this kind of thing about real world animals. I floated the idea of the sperm whale stat block in Rime of the Frostmaiden being able to stun things with an ultrasonic click, but understandably that didn't get picked up. Disappointing but I get it. :P

    D&D 5E Free 'Descent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth' Adventure on D&D Beyond

    The issue wasn't time or effort, I could have whipped up giant crickets in my sleep. The issue was page space--there was absolutely no room in the book for even a small stat block for crickets. Sorry. :/ But for a noncombatant creature, it just wasn't even necessary. The giant frogs were the...

    Spelljammer Making Spelljammer Scavver Encounter interesting (help needed)

    I love this setup, and great suggestions above. Consider adding some environmental hazards like the asteroid shifting and possibly knocking characters prone. Minor meteor showers as smaller rocks drift through and crash into the bigger asteroid. Or even the scavver being cunning and on its...

    I hope you'll give Quests from the Infinite Staircase a chance.

    I'm aware of a few people who left (laid off) and later came back, so it can definitely happen. I'm just not banking on it or even really considering it as a possibility, mostly for my own sanity.

    Thank you so much! A little clarity, we're up to 16 episodes in Season 1, and 13 episodes into Season 2. The podcast audio is lagged a good bit behind due to a variety of factors. Hopefully we'll get more audio episodes out there soon!
