    D&D General Does anyone else starting to feel like FR: HoF & FR: AiF were starved of resources because of the Core Books

    Perhaps the best post in the thread from someone who gets it. But I don't buy into the places PC won't visit thing, because they entire setting is designed as being filled with interesting locations to visit from North to South, From East to West. I will admitted they liked segmenting areas...

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Thing is is that FotA is backed up by Wayfarer's Guide and E:RftLW. Planescape isn't, it and Spelljammers products were mostly so bad they made the SCAG look good. So the next 5e Planescape and Spelljammer products have nothing to lean on, except Spelljammer races. I mean at least the AiF...

    D&D General Does anyone else starting to feel like FR: HoF & FR: AiF were starved of resources because of the Core Books

    Wild Magic is good, but not broken, it is the target that many of the weak feats failed to meet. It's less broken and more good vs bad feats. Edit: my brain confused Wild Magic for Genie Magic, the basic point remains, the core problem is weak feats, not broken feats. There are a bunch of...

    Never heard of Bagpuss, what streaming service is it on?

    Are you suggesting bare breasts should be in children's books? I think you'd get complaints from parents.

    Well given how unbalanced the feats are, they need better playtesting for other materials and even major lore changes.

    That is no replacement for the public playtests, the quality of what they produce with proper public playtests is almost always better and more reliably so that just private playtests.

    For classic setting products like Planescape, Ravenloft, and Spelljammer you are far too generous. I'd give Ravenloft a 4 or 5. Planescape a 3 and except for the Spelljammer races, which were 10s, I'd give Spelljammer slipcase a 1. Only the Eberron Books get higher then a 6, those were well made...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I suspect that will be an option.

    D&D 5E (2024) Odyssey of the Dragonlords Remastered Edition Kickstarter is LIVE

    They've added new Stretch Goals, Nix (a race created by Nix associated with Dreams, Prophecy, and Darkness) at $325,000usd and Titan Pact at $450,000usd, some pretty cooling sounding stuff. I really hope they make those stretch goals, especially the Nix.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Except they are, the entry still refers to Hero, its that they just copied the SCAG and didn't do any research. Another example is Skuld. Calling it the longest continually occupied human city in Faerûn is taken straight from previous editions. Except it was in ruins in 4e, or at least part of...

    Like 1 Playtest that left out all the Spells and Feats, Backgrounds, and Faction Mechanic etc..., that should been playtest, not to mention they switched out one of the subclasses for one that was fameous for being mechanically unsatisfying with again no playtest. And then there are entries in...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    The SCAG was published November 2015, Hero was published in 2016 October. Yarin wasn't a thing before that. Which is to say its clear that they put Yarin into the SCAG to set the stage for Hero, its undoubtedly supporting the novel before it came out a year later, without spoiling the ending...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    I misread that as TMNT get zapped back into the past in Icewind Dale. That place is no place for cold blooded folks.
