Beyond is where I got the 3 core rules books. Id definitely buy local if my area could support a FLGS. We just have Books a Million.

I pre-ordered the books on Dndbeyond so ive only skimmed the digital books. Im not sure about this format. Im guessing it was to big to be one book? Im all for players getting setting info but it seems like most of the lore is in that book. I guess thats on purpose? You just really need the one...

Not an expert here so give me grace. I wonder if the delve format just suffered from 4es not so great adventures? Did the format get tossed out with the bath water when a new edition appeared?

Ive had no issue with said spell. My players are very casual so I dont even know if they know it exists. They ran into a version of it in Shattered Obelisk that they can aquire (I think that one is made of mud, id have to go back and look and i may be miss remembering). The players weren't even...

My BG is a weird mix of New Orleans and medieval english city. Thats just how I always saw it in my head. Very diverse city with distinct culture but built very much like in a medieval style.

Yeah in the show its from Brans viewpoint once he learns how to "time travel". He learns to do this is the books but if I remember correctly he can only travel within the werewood trees. But yeah as mentioned by others Jon is still dead by the end of the last book. I never planned to read them...

Yeah the first book gives it away, or lays it out for the reader when we see Ned's fever dream. Id say the show did pretty good keeping the viewer second guessing it. Was it season 6 when we finally see the Tower of Joy flash back (Ned's fever dream)? I didn't read the books until after the show...

It was a cool idea but man, maps on D&D beyond is just so easy to use.

Not that opinions matter but joining in regardless. My roommate in college turned me on to WoT. I wasnt an avid reader before then, so those books were intimidating by size and number. I got hooked though. I was super excited that a show was coming. I bounced off it hard. There were things I...

Wild Beyond the Witchlight sounds like what youre after.

I bought the three 2024 rule books but im sticking with 2014 for now. At some point ill get the chance to dig into the new books. There's a few things I dont care for but I want the chance to fully digest them before I just say no.

I feel like if this was the idea they would have designed 5e24 with boards as the core concept. The starter set is just a tool to on board new players.

I saw this ad for the first time today. Im currently in the South Pacific at the moment and a day ahead so my time and what day it is, is all messed up. I really enjoyed this ad. I guess I can relate to it cause im an old dad now and started playing in the 90s. I got my kids into D&D a couple of...

I dipped my toe back into Magic: The Gathering late last year when the new core set dropped. I really loved it. I even dug into Blumeburrow, which was way more awesome than I thought it would be. I gotta admit though, the release schedule is head spinning fast. Some of these sets are just like...

Im just not digging the move to more concrete rules. I really enjoyed the "rulings" feel of core 5e. Not a fan of weapon properties either. It's definitely a personal choice on my end. Not sure what I was expecting, 5e24 feels like a natural progression. I guess I would have preferred less rules.
