    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    Season of Champions makes me think of epic play, 15th to 20th level. So I'm putting forth that it's a book with options for running a good high level game.

    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    I'm waiting for the inevitable punkpunk RPG genre. ;) That said, I've always believed that Dark Sun (and most post-Apocalyptic settings) is largely about hope with a dash of survival. The survival fuels the hope.

    D&D General How Do You "Roll Up" Ability Scores?

    That's very campaign dependent. I try to play each character like they're going to make it all the way to 20th level. And if they make it far, despite their shortcomings, then it feels really special. So I don't feel "stuck" with them. It's more like they're "stuck" with me. There are times...

Replace 1 die with a 4 value If you roll 6, 6, 6... you replace one of those 6's with a 4 for a total...

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Yep. Stealing from Jarlaxle, Xanathar, or whoever else isn't always going to be shady. But it's definitely going to be dangerous and potentially fun.

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    My group thought for sure that they were going to be involved in a heist... or in a series of heists. They had fun with the adventure, but were disappointed at the lack of actual heisting.
