No Dark Sun without psionics for me. If that's what the choice comes down to, I'd rather they did something else than did "Dark Sun" without psionics rules.

Personally, I'm still excited for Frostmaiden. I just don't have much to say about it. I'm not particularly excited for Tasha's, largely because Xanathar's didn't impress me at all. But, again, I've avoided saying that until now because I didn't want to threadcrap - if others are excited for...

I don't think it's realistic to insist on the reviewer having played the adventure before reviewing - as noted, there's a timeliness to reviews after which they're of limited value. And getting the adventure read and played within that window can be a tall order. Besides, even playing the...

That Star Trek bundle looks really good. Conversely, that situation with Onyx Publishing looks really bad.

Before they produced Volo's and Mord's Guides, I would very much have liked an MM2. As it is, the utility of such a book is limited - like others, I have more monsters than I'd ever use, so it would need to be something really special to interest me. That said, what I would be interested in is...

Advice. And, frankly, barely even that. Other than the magic items and some of the tables, there's very little in the DMG that has seen use in my games, and I'm just not feeling the lack. I'm starting to come to the view that the rulebook provided in the "Essentials Kit" is a better...

I'm leaning towards getting rid of them. If you want to reflect the fact that half-orcs are particularly strong, give your half-orc a high strength score. My inclination would be to simply remove them entirely - everyone just has lower stats across the board (and all humans use the "choose a...

I think a new edition soon is somewhat more likely than it was previously - if WotC are serious about some of the lore changes, they probably need to be baked into the core, and they probably also need to break backwards-compatibility enough to 'force' people to update. That said, a new edition...

The way I handle it is that my setting lore will describe what an orc (or elf, dwarf, etc) 'is' within the context of the setting. However, players are then free to pay as much or as little of that as they want when running their characters - at best, they're a suggestion. At some future point...

About a year. Which obviously means something very different if we meet for one hour per week than it did when we met for six.

One day after stashing them, he'll come back and find them gnawed. Two days later, and only bones are left. And three days later, and the bag will be empty. What you've described is exactly how a bag of devouring is born...

This is probably the best response they could have made. Sadly, it turns out that the only lesson history has for us is that nobody ever learns from history.

I'll play anything one of my friends wants to run. At this point in time I can't see myself ever learning a new rule system to run myself... though I have said that before.

The rate things are going they're going to have to publish 6e urgently, just to update the lore.

If WotC are serious about dealing with the issue, then where there genuinely is a problem (as, in some cases, there is) they will need to take action. In the case of OA, that probably means removing it from sale or, at the very least, adding a disclaimer. And certainly, they shouldn't try to...
