Wait, what? They're trying to do Warhammer Fantasy without the skaven? Good lord, why? That's like cereal without milk.

The new Hexblade isn't much better then the last one. The subclass still revolves around another type of Hex, which is redundant, boring, and fussy. They tried to fix this by making the one type of curse simultaneously castable with the other, which is a nice start, but doesn't really touch the...

Excellent.

You! Should be! Ashamed! Of yourself!!!

A shame, because Castle Whiterock is awesome. Poor Chris Doyle doesn't deserve to have his dungeon tainted by this debacle. Whiterock for 5e would have been an auto-buy for me before all this. Now, I don't know.

I'm thinking about a melee warlock for an upcoming campaign, but I'm struggling with all the different ways to build it, none of which seem ideal. The 2024 version might be just as good or even better than the 2014 version, but it's certainly not as simple. There are a lot of choices to make. *...

It probably all depends on what kind of agreement was already in place between Goodman and Judge's Guild when Bledsaw went full Nazi. And unfortunately, that's something we will probably never know. Best case scenario: Goodman was already on the hook for licensing City-State and came up with...

Good points. (y)

I wonder if we'll ever know for certain whether or not Bledsaw got money from this deal. Or, since there was allegedly some prior agreement in effect, more money than Goodman was already on the hook for. Because that's what really matters to me. In spite of my distaste for this project, I'm...

You have to be careful with a mechanic that powerful. The 2014 version of the rakshasa was plenty nasty already: immune to all spells 6th level or lower, advantage on all saving throws otherwise. I'm not so sure it's a good idea to make their magic resistance even stronger than that. It can be a...

This perfectly describes my upcoming ruleset, Oubliettes & Otyughs. I'll be self-publishing it in the next 2 to 40 years, so keep a lookout.

I don't agree that being creative repeatedly is not being creative. And note that you can't simply use the same Suggestion verbatim against every enemy: If you're fighting a pack of Twig Blights, asking one to "Hike to the nearest village and tell them we're under attack!" doesn't work, or so I...

This is exactly why the 2014 wording was good, and the 2024 wording ruined the spell. I agree it's unreasonable to order the sidekick to simply leave, but a very cleverly worded suggestion can do the same thing. For example: "Hike to the nearest village and tell them we're under attack!" That...

I'm replying two weeks down the road, but having actually played the game now, I wanted to address this. I've only played DG once, so I could be wrong, but here's my take. First, the "yes, but" and "no, but" thing does not apply to every roll the players make. Combat rolls just succeed or fail...

It reminds me a little of Prince Joffrey. All of us prayed he would die horribly, but once we were rid of him, it was never quite as good again. So in a way, it's kind of sad. But in another, more accurate way, it's just awesome. So I think I will continue to be delighted. :) Actually, didn't...
