    The 5 'Tiers' of TTRPG Publishing

    Maybe he decided that the AI's will kill us all before the Climate Wars happen? AKA - the climate will be fine (except near our nuclear power plants) because once the AI's kill off humanity they will die off too for lack of people to maintain them, and pollution will stop?

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Classes without Subclasses?

    Another option might be for you to pick a single subclass for each class and just say "All Fighters are Champions, all Barbarians are Berserkers" etc. This would save you a lot of work and your players a lot of analysis paralysis but still simplify the game a bit.

    D&D General Ranger Identity Patch (+)

    What if they went through the list of Ranger spells and made more of them Ranger only, or at least Ranger and Druid only?

    D&D 5E (2024) Tier 1 Encounters RAW Getting Hit With Cone of Cold 4th Level?

    Per RAW, a CR 6 Mage would be a Hard Encounter for a party of 6 L3 characters or 5 L4 characters. They can cast 'Cone of Cold' once per day (average 36 damage DC 14 CON save for half in a 60' cone), than switch to their two daily L4 Fireballs (average 31 damage, DC 14 DEX save for half in 40'...

    D&D General Greek heroes as D&D characters

    No, Achilles only became enraged when his boyfriend, his Bond in DND 2014 terms, was killed. His player was just trying to spam Inspiration every round by claiming that he was still angry over that death. What else do you expect from a player so munchkin, and a DM so weak, that the player asked...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Since Asmodee already has the license for many other Star Wars games, since it is easier for Disney to deal with fewer sources, and since RPG's don't generate enough money for Disney to worry about the likely answer is that it will stay with Asmodee. Therefore it should look just like their...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Rare Item to Hand Out? Lvl4

    Roll percentile dice. Check all four lists in the DMG for that roll on the rare magic items table, and pick the one that is best for them, this is (to me at least) a good compromise between true random and picking what would be best for them; and also ensures a better chance that their rare item...

    Wizards Hires Erin Roberts as Game Designer for D&D

    The vampire's body count, as a percentage of the population, will be much higher in a small town and that's what makes it horror.

    Check Out These T-Rex Bone Dice... But They'll Cost You!

    If I go to the moon I will be sure to pick up some extra rocks for Morrus to make dice out of. If it the least that I can do to support him and this great site. Sadly for both us it is unlikely that I will go to the moon....

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    If Fighter can have Champion and Battlemaster than all the other classes can have easier and less easy subclasses too. I would like to see an easy (or at least relatively easy) subclass for every class. For Wizard I would probably want that to be (some version of) a WarMage, for Sorcerer I would...

    What I Like About Nimble 2e (So Far) — A Partial Review

    No link. This is just the general RAW. You can cast the second spell from an item, so no 'Shield' for you with your own spell slot after casting a non cantrip (with an Action, Bonus Action, or any other way using your own slot), but you could use a 'Staff of Defense' to cast Shield, since that...

    What I Like About Nimble 2e (So Far) — A Partial Review

    No, the [DND 5.24] rule is one leveled spell per turn not per round, so they could have cast 'Shield'. OTOH you can't 'Fireball', retreat, fall into a pit trap, and then "Feather Fall' yourself, since it is still your turn.

    D&D General How do you really handle illumination in your games?

    I am running an all Human party right now (because a second Origin Feat (usually Lucky or Tough), Heroic Inspiration every morning, and an extra skill (Perception unless they already had it), make human a great choice) and we normally have three sets of light going, the Wizard's 'Light', the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Multi-Cantrip Build: 3 / round with BS Extra Attack, EK War Magic and Haste? (5 with Action Surge?)

    More, because (with 17+ levels in Bard, Sorcerer, or Wizard) you could have cast L9 Mass Suggestion on twelve creatures every day for the past year, awaiting the correct trigger, which you could tie to the date of the year with something like "On the twelfth day of the month of Fireseek in the...
