His club apparently also functions as an atlatl but with only a range of 20-40. So part of me is just trying to picture this to begin with because I think of an atlatl as being an extra fulcrum on a javelin/spear that gives it extra range or velocity.
What would be an example of a feature in a new setting that is specific to 5.5? I’m having a mental block here. All I can think of is weapon masteries but I don’t really see how that turns into a distinct feature unique to a setting versus any other setting.
I know this probably isn’t directed at me specifically but don’t get me wrong - I love new settings and welcome them. I’m just saying a new setting based around a new system for the purpose of highlighting said system may not work out if the system isn’t really that different from the preceding one.
I think that’s the thing with a rule set specific setting. If the rules change substantially, it could make for some dramatic shifts that make a new setting worthwhile. I’m trying to think about what shifts in 5e to 5.5 or even 3.5 to 5.5 would warrant a new setting by virtue of the rules alone...
Seems like a good idea to just have a general discussion thread for folks who are following along with the new campaign.
I would only ask that if anyone is posting here about an episode prior to when it releases on YouTube to use spoiler tags. 😊
So episode 6!
That was a good amount of...
My love for 2e comes down to two things:
1) It was my first D&D edition I played regularly.

And that’s really it. Nostalgia is powerful.
I feel like actual links to the social media posts in question would be best so these things can be seen in some sort of context. For instance, that WF image looks like a garden variety generic fantasy logo. Why would anyone think that's associated with WotC?
Less information in what respect? The full origin of the war is there, the motivations of the key players, the political intrigues, multiple hooks to engage the PCs from court machinations to down in the trenches and the impact on common folks…what precisely is missing that you feel needs to be...
