Dronk Monk, LOL.

I didn't know him personally, but just looking at his recent articles for ENworld shows how much he has given to the hobby and this community in particular. Obviously a really special guy. It's another reminder for all of us to cherish and appreciate each other. All the best to his family.

After reading the whole thread, some points: INT Martial: WoTC doesn't care about the magic / martial divide very much... Arguably the monk is a WIS based pure martial, but they don't have a pure martial based on CHA or a pure martial based on INT. . But players do care! There is a desire for...

I can tell you that 2014 didn't have this limitation, and it was fun to be a wizard fighter multiclass and cast two fireballs on a turn. Perfectly legal RAW.

As they promote their current kickstarter, I would encourage Exalted Funeral to give another fresh update on the fulfillment status of their previous (beautiful, eagerly awaited) kickstarter Dolmenwood. Even if they don't have much new to share, the times they have been able to check in with...

Essen can have only 50,000 people in the Convention center at one time, and it runs for 4 days. 204,000 is the max number of day tickets they sell times the 4 days. So the big number is essentially turnstile. Uniques are probably significantly less than 204,000 because of day to day overlap.

Man, just look at the sheer concentration of talent on those credits! No wonder that book was great.

@Morrus Your link is broken: "http://each adventure (excluding the core rules) is designed to be played as a one-shot or a short campaign" Here is the real link: Awfully Cheerful Engine

Yes, Godsbreath was great, San Citlan also, and some of the others. They all feel rich, fresh, and about the right size and resolution for a campaign. Ironically, the named Citadel itself, portal to all these places, was the part that left me somewhat cold. Somehow tossing all these cultures...

Thanks WoTC for (apparently, on the 22nd) keeping their promise. We have to recognize when they do right by the community. Big props to the folks internally who have kept fighting for this!

Yes, reading Tolkien is a breath of fresh air. His loving descriptions of the landscape and the little struggles and triumphs of the characters moving through it will literally make you want to drop everythng and run wilderness adventures. His hobbits and his Shire of course are the reason the...

Dear Jeremy, Thank you for your development and long stewardship of the rules of D&D. You did a good job! I'm sure you felt the weight of responsibility as everything you said for long years was parsed and sifted for clues for this that and the other. Thank you for the high standard you set for...

I have a similar approach to @el-remmen . I just trim off species that don't fit the theme / history of the world for whatever reason. There is then a list for players to choose from. I will negotiate if someone really wants to play something that isn't on the list. But we have to find a...

Ahoy Chris, Thanks first for for all of the great stories over the years! Perhaps even more important, thank you also for your focus on mentoring and supporting a new generation of game masters as they learned their craft, from your old blogs to the 2024 DMG. I for one am excited to see what you...

True, you did! My value add was just the link, I guess. Didn't mean to grab credit for first post, just to give folks a way to learn more. In my defense, if you look back in the thread more than a few pages, I was predicting Discord being under pressure to make money and specifically calling...
