Is a DR year given?

Phil Walker-Harding is one of the best lightweight board game designers working today. Sushi Go, Imhotep, Bärenpark, and Super Mega Lucky Box are all superb.

This one, at least, has an obvious answer: Arphy saw it in the bowling ball. In Season 3 Grandelf visits the Mistless Vale and meets a lisping elf who proclaims “Stranger, there’re no mithth ‘round ‘ere”

You knew Christopher Tolkien? Cool!

The ent and entwife were voiced by recognizable British actors—Jim Broadbent and Olivia Williams—but neither of them is Cate Blanchett (though I’m sure that, like all rational beings, they’d love to be). Nevertheless, when in doubt, always assume it’s no accident whenever this show compulsively...

Why? Are things not well at WotC? What have you heard? Oh wow, now Morrus has confirmed it! Revered RPG industry news publisher ENWorld has gone on the record confirming Charlaquin’s reporting that things are not well at WotC! Tell all your friends!

My math makes it 3x5x?, where ? is a value between 0 and 1 inclusive, because this interview is full of so many lies and half-truths that who knows whether he’s being truthful here.

I’d like to see them redo every outlier subclass, whether OP (peace and twilight clerics, etc.) or underperforming (nature cleric, purple dragon knight, etc.).

And ... Scene!

It is definitely OP. But so is every PC in 2024e, so… <shrug>?

It’s simply a fact that this is cumulatively the biggest single revision of the visual design of D&D dragons since the beginning of the game. Whether you dislike any significant changes full stop, or dislike these particular changes, or love them, or whatever, they are big changes. Will these...

I would have thought so too, before Shadow of the Dragon Queen. My sense is that WotC perceives that as an unsuccessful product and isn't likely to go all-in on Krynn again soon. That's also what Manganiello said in an interview a few months back, but he might just have been cranky that his TV...
