    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Start At Level 1?

    I feel the zero to hero thing is generally the most interesting part of D&D, and the first few levels have the richest source of this. I generally speed up leveling after 6, but take it nice and slow through levels 1-5.

    Humble Bundle Pros and Cons for the Publisher

    A major thing keeping Roll20 VTT stuff out of bundles is that Roll20 had / (has?) a policy that a paid product cannot have a regular price less than $5. That keeps their Module ecosystem prices higher than the PDF ecosystem, and out of bundle territory. The other factor keeping them out of...

    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    "Champions of Athas" is the obvious title if it is Dark Sun. Otherwise, it could well be a generic Martials book consonant with the Magics book in the fall.

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    I really hope this is adding all kinds of lore and narrative tools and is not a rehash of the domains / advice in the amazingly great Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft. I would NOT get excited to buy this just for the the addition of some darklord stat blocks, character options and new art.

    Dungeons & Dragons Has a New Home Webpage

    Books --> A list of covers representing editions or milestones. Then you scroll looking for the rest of the books and suddenly you are in "movies / games". The content here is pretty thin. Basically a single page broschure site unless I missed something. While I think they needed another...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Yes, see my previous posts complaining about Chonky Dragons.

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    The name is horribly clunky yes. Hopefully we are spared seeing that in print.

    Either (but expecially Thay) would have to be far beyond Tier 1.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Now you are making me realize that an inside Thay campaign and a Dark Sun campaign might not be too different in the sense that these are extremely oppresive societies are ruled by evil demi-god level mages served by secret magical police.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    That would tie into the movie villain, and good point about it being the right place for Arcane subclasses. Maybe it's a "all the other arcane factions against Thay" kind of world war of the dead vs the living, with Orcus etc... backing Szas Tham. Zombie Apocalypse in the Realms. I might...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Myth Drannor is a possibility. Just please please don't make the tired old Elminster & friends vs the Zhentarim / Manshoon / Church of Bane themes surface again though.... Greenwood gave us a great setting, but we don't have to re-use his protagonists and antagonists over and over forever amen...

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Re: Big Campaign. I kind of think they kind of need to make up some new villain if they do a part of the Realms we have recently seen. The exception would be if they do Thay, in which case they could use Szass Tam, for the movie tie in. Most of the old villains feel underpowered and they had...
