    D&D General Project Bree-YARC: An Unholy Mashup of BX and 3e

    Prestige Classes were a big part of 3rd Edition. They were usually shorter (5 levels, but some were longer) special classes that you could only take if you met the skill/ability/feat/whatever requirements. So, a fighter (or other character who met the requirements) might decide to take levels...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    My group does not share that opinion. +The steps were not difficult. The mental load for doing the steps is mostly easy. Whether they are meaningful is probably better suited for discussion in the other thread.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I will try to keep this brief so that I do not take away from the '+' nature of the thread. The group I play with does not mind steps to a process. We enjoyed a lot of sessions of 4E. 4E had steps, but those steps were usually meaningful. Similarly, Soak in Age of Rebellion involves comparing...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    My group has had a little more experience with Daggerheart. There are some good things about the system: character creation is easy; production values of the books are very good; there are innovative ideas. However, one gripe that my group has is that there are a lot of extra steps involved...

    D&D General What do you say when someone is thinking of quitting your game?

    I feel that the player did a good job of communicating with you. Thumbs up for that. They had mentioned no longer having fun with playing the game but had also mentioned that they would miss spending time and hanging out with the group. As others have said, they may simply be burned out on D&D...

    Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

    Outrage Culture has become part of the norm. Being loud about about an issue on social media is currently a proven way to make money. Whether or not the issue is real has little influence on either the volume or the monetization.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I recently played in a session using the SRD and what I think is the adventure intended to teach people the game. I'm not really sure how I feel about Daggerheart yet. There are a lot of pieces of the game that I enjoy in isolation, and there are a lot of those pieces that I might use when...

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    Portable Pole melee weapon (simple, quarterstaff), rare, (requires attunement) While the staff is a common choice of implement and weapon for magic users, adventuring through dungeons and confined quarters with a lengthy and bulky hunk of wood can be inconvenient. NO MORE! Designed by the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon US book sales rank.

    While I do not think that the D&D 2024 books are "bad," I do think they missed the mark when it comes to a not-small-portion of the audience wanted. Some of my group has talking about how, despite the books being visually being gorgeous, they change the vibe and tone of the game in a way that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    It is possible, with indices and/or appendices which would list the creatures by the preferred method. For a digital book, you could hyperlink the entries to the relevant pages.

    D&D 5E (2014) CleverNickName's Laboratory: Let's Make Cantrip Magic Items

    I was thinking more about this item today. If not bound by the cantrip requirement of this thread, it may be something more like this: Thimble of the Garden Snake's Gambit (non-cantrip version) wondrous item, rare, (requires attunement) This small copper thimble is decorated with a snake motif...

    D&D 5E (2024) What's the best way to build a bladelock now?

    Light armor is fine. You can focus on Dex and still have an AC that is difficult for many monsters to regularly touch. If you can find a way to get shield proficiency, that helps. Use a finesse weapon
