    D&D General Todd Kenreck Let Go from WotC

    Even if people can't tell that it's AI generated, they can tell that it's basically an underleveled Synaptic Static and wonder why WotC is publishing redundant spells. I'm as big an AI enthusiast as anyone on this forum, but even I can tell that the quality of current AI generated content is...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is There A New Sheriff in Town?

    Those traditions have endured countless other new and innovative games entering the market with new ways to play. I don't think this time will be different.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is There A New Sheriff in Town?

    My impression is that most gamers want a game rather than a collaborative world-building exercise, so Daggerheart isn't really competing in the same segment as D&D. That's not to say Daggerheart isn't going to be successful. There's probably a lot of gamers who do want a more story-focused...

    Jess Lanzillo Departs Wizards of the Coast

    Critical Role is in the "steaming entertainment" business, not the tabletop gaming industry. They may be publishing an RPG but the actual business is something else.

    There's a slight issue that WotC is the biggest and best paying company in the tabletop RPG space. So if you want to advance your career by switching jobs you need to move to another industry.

    D&D General Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford Join Darrington Press

    I suspect we already know the full story, doesn't seem like there's anything happening here other than what they are telling us.

    D&D 5E (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    That's a special case, purging all "offensive" language was a higher priority than explicitly overwriting all legacy content.

    D&D 5E (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    I'm sure the PAM attack not being an opportunity attack was intentional, but the anti-disengange function of Sentinel not working with reach weapons seems like another victim of 5.5s sloppy editing for "brevity".

    New D&D Video Game Announced

    The Dark Sun games are nothing like Conan Exiles.

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    With the 60' radius of Circle of Death, you might have to wait a while for a waiter if you cast it inside a tavern...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon Age lead says Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur prove publishers wrong as games can crush market trends is they’re “given time to cook”

    Conversely, changing the things that the hardcore fans like about your product in the hope of increasing its appeal to casuals is often a recipe for failure.

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    'Realistic' in terms of buying individual miniatures rather than big batches. While you're only paying $1 per miniature, I kinda suspect you spend a lot more money in total on miniatures than the typical D&D gamer who just wants a single mini to represent his character. In terms of actual...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    The pre-colored hero forge miniatures are less than great, but their grey resin figures are excellent. Not on the level of what the best sculptors can do, but they paint up nicely and they can be customized to look exactly like your character! Having a custom mini of the same quality sculpted...

    looks like the characters are inside the anti-magic cone of the central eye, so the Beholder can't aim its eye rays at them.
