    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I don't know - I'm looking at the D&D Beyond survey, and based on that and if that's the right survey you're referencing, if you're saying Halflings and Gnomes drop out, so do Half-Orcs, Genasi, Goliaths, Aasimar, Aarockra and custom lineages. It's hard to see the numbers but Halflings are just...

    I like it sprinkled on my pineapple pizza.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    If such percentages actually dictate whether they are kept in the game or not. I'm not sure those stats actually matter in this context. I still feel like it's a solution in search of a problem.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I think sometimes reducing choices just to make things more compact ends up hurting the overall product. I know some folks get into the whole gnomes vs. halflings debate but generally that's just out of preference and fun. I don't think anything is really gained by trying to roll them up under...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    As long as they're up front about it when selling the campaign and getting the group's buy-in, I don't see any issue.

    D&D General XP: How Do You Like To Earn It?

    The only preference that I have is that it doesn't take forever and a day to level up. I'm agnostic as to the means of leveling up.

    Honestly, George Lucas didn't do that either. When he created the Mos Eisley cantina, he was going for a vibe. That wretched hive of scum and villainy was about pulling people into a weirder world, and it was channeling a lot of "Rick's Cafe American" energy from Casablanca. He didn't start by...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Yeah, I don’t know that many of the species in D&D 5e make sense to necessarily have a distinct homeland. Tieflings, aasimar, genasi - these are all offshoots of humans who have a unique multiplanar heritage. They likely wouldn’t have a single homeland; they would appear amongst the general...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I’ve gone back and forth on this one but every campaign where I’ve let go of the concern that I have for what I like to call the menagerie of PCs usually ends up being inconsequential unless it involves an ancestry like aaracokra that has an early flying ability, and even then, it’s more just a...

    Review of How To Dungeon Master Parenting

    My kids are grown up now but I still remember those days, and I might have to pick this up just for the laughs. What a great idea for a parenting book!

    We haven’t played Demon Lord, so can’t make the comparison!

    [General Discussion Q&A] Shadow of the Weird Wizard [+]

    Last night, we bumped our PCs to 7th level to try out the Master path abilities in our final session and fought a CR 32 monster - monster scaling is different but that’s pretty tough. The spells and abilities are insane but it was still incredibly challenging. My death priest who could teleport...

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    I found out recently that The Warriors is based on a Greek play by Xenophon called Anabasis about Greek mercenaries who had to fight their way out of the Persian Empire when Cyrus the Younger is killed while trying to take the throne.

    What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

    “I’m shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Casablanca is just a warm hug for my soul. I adore that movie.
