    WizKids Reveals D&D Red Dragon Tyrant Figure, Coming July 2025

    Looks cool, but I am unsure how confident I can be that the actual product will look like that. I've been burned (no pun intended) too many times by WizKids minis in the past.

    D&D General D&D 6e ala Steampunkette: Structural thoughts

    Rather than cutting things down to 10 levels, I would prefer to embrace more of 4E. Have 30 levels split into chunks that have less of a power curve between them. Bring back something similar to Paragon Paths. Levels 1-10 are your base class for the heroic tier. If you want to play beyond that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    I am happy to hear that, for some people, the changes have made them feel more welcome. For me, I do fall into the demographics that are supposed to (I'm told) feel more welcomed by the changes. But I have not felt that way. I completely understanding some of the changes. There are some styles...

    D&D General Take A Look At The Class Boards From The New D&D Starter Set

    The concept is a neat idea, but I worry that it introduces too much extra clutter to the game table. I think you could get rid of the board completely and cut things down to cards similar to the various hero decks for Sentinels of the Multiverse (the cooperative board/card game, not the rpg).

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    According to some people, the change was meant to make the game feel more inclusive. I do not know. I can only speak for myself and comment on what my usual group's thoughts have been. Myself and a few of the people in the usual group are within demographics and identities that the changes were...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I would like 6e to have modular adventure path design. Instead of huge books that contain an entire adventure path, give me small 20-25 page chunks and include a page or two that briefly gives me ideas of how to connect the chunks together with some minor adjustments. So maybe you have 2...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    I went with 4. I know that's harsh, but I simply do not feel that the new version of 5E accomplished what it set out to do... or really even what exactly it is that it was trying to do. Yes, the books look nice. I am not a fan of the new art style, but, objectively, I can take a step back and...

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    The celebrity worship that many people engage in through social media is not that far from being a religion. There are even (urban)myths that evolve and spread about the various celebrities, even though people can still see and hear those people. In some cases, what the person wants to believe...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I know you're joking, but I have done that and had fun with it -both as a DM and a player.

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Different people have different tastes. To me, that is an odd statement. If part of the ongoing discussion is the disparity between martial classes and magic classes, I am at a loss for how to proceed when presented with the line of logic that says (very liberally paraphrasing) "magic users...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    There's not anything to hide from. You bolded part of my statement, but that is neither the context nor the meaning of the entirety of my statement. I feel that you are taking an antagonistic stance against something that I am not even saying. Your accusation that I said that someone writing...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I can't say that I wholly agree with Lanefan's philosophy. There are certainly aspects how they describe gaming that differ from my own tastes. But that there should be some possibly drawbacks or risk/reward to using an AoE around your friends is something that I agree with them on. That...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    That's a very well written entry. I feel that would be great for a component piece of the setting or a foreword for an adventure path.
