    D&D 5E (2024) [Legendary Games] African Monsters Unleashed for 5E and Tales of the Valiant and The Dragon's Hoard!

    I hate to be. Me about this, but uh, that Bulgu's a bit. Very inspired by A Book of Creature's design for it, huh?

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    If this is some brand new creature, brand new to existence, that's, yeah, not great. But trolls and dragons are D&D staples in the world for decades now. Their quirks are going to be common knowledge, not some obscure lore known only by the most wizened sages found only in the depths

    D&D 5E (2024) What’s the difference between sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards?

    I mean, most of your average D&D settings would have most of them lying around in droves. Fiends, Celestials and Genies aren't exactly rare, Archfey have an entire other realm they can politic in for sidequests and consequences, Fathomless has a whole host of easy grabs deep beneath the waves...

    D&D 5E (2024) What’s the difference between sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards?

    They're all plenty popular classes with unique storytelling niches and lengthy enough histories in the game. There's no burning desire to merge them and any attempt to will be met with pretty strong resistance due to said storytelling niches

    D&D General D&D is now Steampunk (poll)

    Don't forget Spelljammer included Aura Battler- oh, sorry, 'Spirit Warriors' (with one of them that's flat out the villain from an OVA) and Gamera, while OA decided to flat out just have stats for Mothra, Orga and uh. The Gargantuas, for some reason And before all of that, in the earliest...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Also I do think its worth noting that a lot of the races that even the 4E stuff says don't exist in Athas? They..,.. Kind of exist in Athas or at least have 'close enough' equivalents. Like, let's just admit it: Tarek are just orcs

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Still canon, though If they do anything they'll probably follow 4E's path. Tyr's had its sorcerer king killed so you've got one city as a 'generally friendly', and a land on the very edge of action of all sorts about to happen, given the sudden power vacuum

    Athas is also the one where they published rules for surfing druids back in the day. TSR watered it down to begin with, Mind Lords of the Last Sea exists. Whatever we get isn't going to be as that as, that.

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    We don't want to go on Yoko Taro's wild ride. I played Drakengard. D&D players are not ready for Yoko Taro.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    That wasn't even the first time his phylactery was destroyed. If he could walk back from the first one and inexplicably come back to show up for Year of Rogue Dragons, he can show up again. I get D&D has suffered with the "The text villains should exist to support actual adventures rather than...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Some Cult of the Dragon lich or something? But, yeah, folks bring up Myrkul and he was pretty dang dead after I used his own power to eat his soul and perma-kill him in the Astral Plane during NWN 2 MotB, yet he's apparently still kicking. If Myrkul can walk away from that, Sammaster's fine...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    They tried. Go and see the reaction to 4E's time skip to see how well that went. I don't think anyone is recognising Sammaster for name recognition. Like, let's be honest here, he isn't a famous or popular D&D character. He's a 'literately who?', a glup shitto

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    I mean, back in Journey to the West that kinda just how it be mind I think said horse forgot he was a dragon prince like. 90% of the time

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Orcs of Thar pre-dates Complete Book of Humanoids. They were playable in Basic first Its not a good book, sure, but, its the first time they're playable. Adding entire continents to the world who interact with the main part of it absolutely alters the Realms. If Ed was going to add his own...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Knightly orders around today sure aren't doing what they were doing over 100 years ago, acting like they should be nigh on identical and there can't be any change just leads FR to being stagnant, unchanging, and lacking any dynamics I may have killed a boss in FFXIV about that exact thing last...
