I figured Lord Soth was there because of his brief stint as a Dark Lord, meaning he will have a section in the Ravenloft book. But he is also positioned at the intersection of MORE TO COME and TO BE ANNOUNCED which is very unfair to my predictive ability. He is also cropped from a larger...

The staff made me laugh because yesterday I was looking up some Common magic items to put in a shop for my players and this is one that I found. I decided to not put that one in the shop because it was too silly. The Dread Helm however is definitely not silly, and will be very available for...

Here's a few answers I noticed from this one: Is homebrewing going to be updated/made easier to do? We’re first focusing on the Game Platform rebuild, which will unlock greater customization. We definitely intend to make homebrew easier. It’s too early to talk about when and how we’ll support...

Had a fun combat last night with some 2024 ochre jellies vs. a Level 4 party. The jellies have more HP and are also a bit faster (10 -> 20 ft) than their 2014 version. They can now use Split upon becoming Bloodied, and not just when hit with Slashing/Lightning damage. My players don't have...

My players thanked me for a "relaxing" CR4 Banshee fight after they fought a CR3 Wight just beforehand so I feel like I don't know anything. :ROFLMAO: I like the updated Giant Scorpion, which exists to kill arrogant Level 3 adventurers with its tail. How dare you look down on a bug!

I have a question about some interactions with this spell. The 2024 stat block Cultist Fanatic has Command and in my game I had a Fanatic cast it on a Warrior of Shadow Monk and command her to Flee. We got to the monk's turn and first she asked me if she could use her Shadow Arts feature to...

I can only assume they will use the exact outcomes I had on my first Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, such as when I turned Astarion into a vampire lord then immediately broke up with him.

I think this is true, in the sense that when you decide how your gods work you should consider how satisfying it would be to play a devotee of said god. If you don't take that step, you're probably writing a book instead of making a TTRPG campaign setting. There's a 3P book for Dragonlance...

This is exactly how my cleric character describes himself. He believes clerics and communication between gods and mortals are essential for gods to have any meaning at all, or to be defined as gods. Gods are immortal, but by looking through their clerics' eyes, they maintain an understanding of...

Another quick 2024 monster report too: 2024 gargoyles have the Flyby trait which allows them to avoid opportunity attacks while flying, and the party was at low resources when they encountered Lost City's room with 2 gargoyles. Said gargoyles downed 2 out of 3 players. While the remaining...

My group is coming up on the end of The Lost City. I am very curious as to how they will feel about this module's non-ending. Today one of my players provided me with some lovely art of how she thinks it's going to end: A prophetic work really, since escaping Zargon involves flattering him...

Uh oh. 😂 That said, it was probably necessary for this show. From what I have read of Stormlight Archives, absolutely not necessary there.

My friend who is not an Apple watcher but who does like Sanderson asked about SFX quality on Apple and I decided this scene from Foundation was the best for demonstrating (best of what I could find on yt anyway): As I told him, Foundation has many beautiful scenes of spaceships/planets getting...
