    D&D 3E/3.5 The 4E We Didnt Get.

    One thing I could never understand was why not keep the 30-level progression scheme, going forward from 4E into 5E? 30 levels was kinda cool. A nice split between the three “stages” of a character progression, from 1-10, 11-20, and 21-30. I don’t know, it felt different and made people feel like...

    D&D (2024) D&D Monster Manual (2025)

    This better be good! I’m looking forward to two main things: 1- hoping for some great visuals, and 2- as simple the stat blocks as possible to read :-)

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    I prefer that characters stay alive in D&D. Unless a player is really asking for it… Anyways, depends on the type of audience and the type of game. Some games really are highly lethal by design and by feel.

    D&D General Should the DM roll in the open?

    I like games where all the rolls are performed by the players. I think Numenera works like that.

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    Haha me too! Except I buy all the copies of the PHB. Then share them at the table. You always need 2-3 copies minimum! Especially for the people looking for that darn spell they can’t remember the details for, skimming over entire chapters every time there’s an encounter.

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    Yeah I don’t understand the “job description before species” thing either. I guess they have newbies that are looking for a sense of purpose / a “role” to fulfill in mind.

    D&D (2024) 2025's Ancient Green Dragon Stat Block From The New Monster Manual

    The artwork for the dragons in D&D 2024 books is amazing! I dig the new gold dragon design.

    2025 Monster Manual Will Contain Over 85 New Monsters

    Are they “new” new, or are they old monsters from splat books from earlier editions that they’re re-hashing for the occasion? I love D&D, but they sure have a way to recycle things.

    Symbaroum

    5 out of 5 rating for Symbaroum Here are my humble thoughts about the Symbaroum core book, a RPG product which left a grand impression on me. Presentation The first thing that caught my attention is obviously the artwork. In perfect harmony with the atmosphere and mood of the dark fantasy...

    So What's In The New DM Screen?

    Dm Screen and what's not on it. Hello Aramis, would you mind sharing your content with us? Seems like a neat way of representing useful information not available in the current DM Screen. I purchased the screen yesterday, and I like it. Just wish I had more info handy instead of popping up...
