The D&D reference is the poster of the cover of the 5e Player’s Handbook hanging on the wall in the background of the apartment where Kate is trying on her “Viking” costume and where Clint comes to pick up the trick arrows.

Yeah, I’m a little surprised by a lot of the initial reactions in this thread. I thought this trailer (and the first trailer for the movie last year) looks amazing. I’m very excited for a new Batman disconnected from the DCEU and will probably go opening weekend.

There are already threads here discussing the metallic dragonborn, drakewarden, and moonstone dragon too.

If I were to recommend the fewest number of books for someone new to 4e to play, I’d recommend the Monster Vault for your monster book and the Dungeon Master’s Kit for your dungeon master’s guide. These are both products from the essentials line, and as such, they incorporate all of the updated...

Besides Page 42, skill challenges, and rituals / martial practices, 4e characters also got a lot of mileage out of just the basic skill system. Every skill had lots of player-empowering options, and each included multiple examples of creative ways to improvise using your skills. A character...

Volo's Guide to Monsters for me

I’ll echo everyone else and say the art is top notch. Is that Calastryx on the cover?

I haven't tried it with video chat (you can definitely do screen share + audio chat, though). This site seems to say that you can do video chat + screen share (Discord Screen Share and Video call: A Complete, 10-Step Guide). It sounds like you're able to toggle between seeing people's faces and...

This is amazing! I'm literally speechless at how helpful this is! I really appreciate how you've been able to take a bunch of my jumbled thoughts and iron them out into a cohesive timeline. I also really appreciate that you've tried to incorporate everything I was already worked on. The crystal...

Thanks for the reply! As far as themes go, a Norse-style Giants theme was definitely the big inspiration, but your mention of Dark Sun also let's me see parallels with the aftermath of the cataclysm. I think more than Dark Sun though my other main inspiration was the Points of Lignt Setting...

Hello! I'm a college student who hasn't gotten to play much DnD since high school, but after reading through the new 5th edition materials, I've gotten the urge to start worldbuilding and prepping a new campaign to introduce some of my college friends to the game. I've got some broad ideas, but...

Thanks! As a follow up, are there any other listed variant backgrounds besides gladiator and guild merchant?

Thanks for all the info so far guys! Just one question on the backgrounds. What does the guild merchant variant of guild artisan get?
