Wow, that is the most elegant expression I've ever seen of the core tension in 5e. Having played a lot of AD&D and B/X (via OSE) in the...

The full take is a lot more nuanced. Specifically: The problem isn't that control spells ruin 5e, it's that they specifically ruin...

You are all proving a very good and important point. Subclasses aren't merely about getting new mechanics. They are about story. Who...

Rules for a dragon companion are like the 3.5 Leadership feat but even worse. It isn't something that should simply be an opt-in player...

This being my first campaign, my main strategy for the long timelines is to do it in about half-hour chunks, or to do it podcast-style...

Agreed! I think it’s great to have a positive model of a group where the players and DM work together to design what they need to...

Ah, good! I did think this story had potential if they didn't phone it in, and it sounds like they saw that, too. Great news...

I'm browsing the book while reading and the PDK situation is both books in multiple sections. What I can see is that they spent...
