The key reason why someone would choose to rideon horse back is mostly for comfort amd the ability to carry more supplies, not speed. Saddle sores exist, but are far less detrimental than walking for 8 straight hours. The only real way a party will benefit from speed with a horse is if it is...

Likely. Definitely. DnD aside, the sad truth is so many great games are completely overlooked simply because they get lost in the mix, or it just isn't whatever "YetAnotherGygaxDungeonMeatGrinderRPG2EdClone" game is popular this week.

Because I have to be old school and contrary. :p Maptools What it does well: It doesn't cost you a single dime. Ever. Nor an asinine subscription. This is especially important in a world where every damn battlemap now is a patreon subscription because capitalism has all but killed people...

I too would like an answer to this question regarding Daggerheart. While it's probably not (yet) large enough to merit it's own forum, I feel like it would be doing an outright disservice to call it a "DnD Varient". It is a fundamentally different game from the ground up and arguably feels far...

This entire thread is a prime example of the futility of maintaining a "no politics" rule here and expecting to be able to cover news and updates on the industry of TTRPGs. It's no cooincidence there have been multiple threads here related to increasingly obvious political related subjects. You...

Here's the thing though. The last version people down voted did do that. They just called it Hexblade's curse and made it part of the hex spell. People were just too kneejerk reacting to losing their precious critical hit at level 3.

Looking throuh the UA my thoughts are largely that most of them are good. My main concerns are the following: 1) Frankly I think the high level feature, if not a complete replacement/deviation from clerics normally getting domain spells should just be giving Arcana clerics access to the entire...

If a class feature requires you to multiclass or spend optional feats to be functional, it's a s&%@ class feature and needs to be fixed. Additionally, the features do care. They specifically say "Psion spells", so multiclassing does not work. And again, these are coming at the cost of other...

I've got a player about to playtest this class in my campaign, so I'll probably have more feedback as time goes on. My biggest issue with the class so far is that the psychic disciplines are all over the place in usefulness, purely due to the class having such a limited spell list. I.e. the...

My only question related to the prospect of WotC announcing any games similar to BG 3" is: so how many years of development wll you give the creators and have any of them been working on something already? Folks Baldurs Gate 3 was in development for years before we ever even heard of it...

God, that first artwork was clearly drawn by someone who never held a sword before. It's laughably bad. You could photocopy in a baseball bat and it would make more sense.

My fundamental problem with Vielguard is that it looks like medieval fortnight, not Dragon Age. And every time a character opens their mouths to make an obnoxious marvel quip it makes me want to lobotomize myself with an ice pick. "Reactionary gamergate redux crowd" people have nothing to do...

In order: Shiddyhurt Weathers Well Laze'l Grill Assterrorin

The artwork does look wonderful, my only question with it is a random thought that her metal arm must clearly be magically attached because otherwise that motion of pulling a bowstring would likely result in it deattaching from her arm. Even with metal bolts that specific movement puts a lot of...

I mean, to be blunt, I'm more concerned about if the US will even continue to exist as a country by the end of the next decade, if I'll have to flee the country within the next year, or if I get carted off to some death camp in the middle of the night. Though, relevant to the topic? Nothing. I...
