    D&D General I wish those new Forgotten Realms books would hurry up...

    Well, I'll just be happy when the Heroes from the Borderlands arrives in the EU next week. But OP, I feel ya

    WotC D&D Universes Beyond

    D&D isn't like MtG. We control what we use at our own table, which is why we can choose to mix and match with 5e products from other publishers. WotC can't cram Spongebob into your game. I don't buy everything WotC makes anyway, so this won't change much for me.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I’m working my way back through this thread, I hope you don’t mind. In my latest campaign, I have added a new rule, as discussed in session 0. “Long Rest. You cannot get the benefits of a long rest outside of a safe haven. Taking a long rest outside a safe haven only lets you regain all your...

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release Lorwyn: First Light, a New Digital Expansion Based on Magic: The Gathering World

    As someone who has been hoping for a WotC-produced feywild setting book, this is a huge disappointment. I don’t use D&DBeyond for character creation or to share with my players. This is too little and not in a way I can use. I was actually looking forward to a Lorwyn setting book like Theros...

    D&D 5E (2024) Rate D&D 2024

    So I have played a TON of D&D 2024. Mostly as a DM, though I would say 1/5th was as a player in a tier 3 game where we transitioned. Pros: Better class balance. Barbarians, Fighters, Monks, Rogues and even rangers saw updates bringing them in line with modern design sensibilities. Better...

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    You're asking us to find a way to convince your DM to use CHA to find secret doors? Maybe just accept you have a party of dum-dums and roll with it?

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Sure, but it's just short for gelatinous. Have Ochre Jelly's been famous for their use in D&D content for children? Sometimes the most straightforward answer is the right one.

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Thank you so much for your fast response! I am planning to introduce new players to the game with it and get much use out of those beautiful maps. I can’t wait until they arrive in the EU!

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    It’s been really interesting to see people react to all these clever design solutions so far. Some of them are understandable, like the difference of the jumping rules. Fitting everything on cards seems to have been a challenge. Is that why there is no Gelatinous Cube, but instead a Jelly Cube?

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

    You can use them, but the new core books actually explain everything better. Plus they have pictures!

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Update

    Great improvements across the board: Arcane Archer: Looks good to me. Tattooed Warrior Monk: Better, but the lvl6 and 11 features are just a bit too passive IMO. Conjurer Wizard: Awesome. I love swapping places with an ally. Enchanter Wizard: Fine. Solid design, just not my cup of tea...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tinkering with the Monk

    Really? They seem to be in a solid spot now. What makes you say that?

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Wait, it's already in stores in the US?! I have to wait until halfway through October...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    The area feature does too much for such little cost. Powerful buffs and damage. It bloats its turns as well.
