    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Dunno if this is RAW or not but when I made a bunch of npc troopies for my current campaign, I just did what they did in 2014 and added species abilities to the base humanoid stat blocks. So my goblin scouts are a bit different than standard scouts and my Dragonborn veterans have a minor breath...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    ... I'm not following. I'm sorry, but, honestly I have no idea what this means.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Of course, this rolls right back around to the origins of this thread. The OP does not want to recycle FR or Greyhawk. He wants a new setting where you don't have to handicap species in order to make a setting work because the setting was written half a century ago and couldn't possibly...

    Never minding people who voluntarily join the army/navy. Can we please put this idea to bed?

    You are, of course, right.

    Right. The California gold rush is a perfect example of that. The death rate for those pan handlers was absolutely shocking. I've seen estimates around 1 in 12. :boggle: That's INSANELY risky.

    D&D General D&D Dungeon Map Design: Good and Bad

    I love dungeons. Yes I do. :D Probably the biggest addition you can make to dungeon design is verticality. So many dungeon maps are flat. It doesn't take much to make a dungeon so much more interesting when you add a bit some verticality. One of the best examples of this is from Lost...

    ((As a total aside, I'm getting replied to by people I cannot see. @Bill91 is not on my ignore list, but, despite him quoting me, I cannot see his posts. Is this a bug?))

    And thus, that would be my point. Gnomes and Halflings are so unpopular that despite EVERY OTHER PHB race getting their own book, they had to split one between the two. Sigh. The plural of anecdote is not data. We have survey after survey, D&D Beyond statistics, Baldur's Gate 3 statistics...

    Worlds of Design: The Warship Trinity

    The other issue, when you're into a fantasy or SF setting, is there's a lot of ways to get around the idea of MOD. After all, a single ship armed with Von Neuman style constructors drops into a solar system, seeds several asteroids and within X time, there's a fleet and entire supply chain in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Preferences in a New Official 5.5e Specific Setting

    We'll have to wait and see. 5e has never really embraced anything new school, at least not very much. Endless recycling or re imagining adventures, recycling classes and whatnot. Recycling settings. WotC has not exactly embraced anything new, and understandably so. We are getting the D&D...

    That's a point too. Peter Parker, despite the death of Uncle Ben at the beginning, has a very loving home. That's pretty much why he fights. Ms. Marvel is another good example. The Fantastic Four all have very healthy relationships. Superman. Depending on which Green Lantern you want to...
