    D&D 5E Curse of Strahd - Werewolf Den - possible spoilers

    I don't have the book with me and I haven't run that part of the adventure (yet), but... You might be able to change some of the werewolves to were-creatures with a higher challenge rating? Werewolves have a challenge rating of 3, werebears of 5.

    The Actual Table of Contents for Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    You must have never played with a group of characters with long full of unpronouncable elvish sounding names. As a DM I have started naming my NPCs with 'normal' names (like John, William etc.), because players will never remember the Elf named X. These tables will in a sense form the backbone...

    The Actual Table of Contents for Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    I'm going to buy this book for the name tables alone. Yes, I am.

    D&D 5E Thoughts on this article about Black Culture & the D&D team dropping the ball?

    In general, I think that WoTC has been very progressive in their latest edition, making sure all kinds of people are represented and not in any negatively stereotypical way. I'm not entirely sure I understand what the point of the article is. Yes, this is a fantasy culture that is based on...

    D&D 5E The Barbarian Path of the Ancestral Guardian In Xanathar's Guide To Everything

    I honestly didn't understand why he focused so much on the ranger and paladin. He seemed to reflect on a debate that I wasn't aware of was going on.

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: Hexblade Subclass

    I think this is very interesting. But surely, you would always take the Pact of the Blade Pact Boon with this pact, so that you can take the invocations on later levels that give you more than 1 attack per turn? Or actually, now I look at it, a ranged build might be possible too. It is an...

    D&D 5E Full contents leak for Xanathar's Guide

    I am really interested in those appendices, character creation and DM options.

    Xanathar's War Mage is Gandalf, Dr Strange, and Elric

    I love the concept of the war mage, but I dislike the subclass. Having a slightly weaker and different version of the Shield spell as a class feature looks good, but in practice it means that you likely have to choose between using the class feature or casting the spell (it's not like a war mage...

    D&D 5E Is there any indication that WotC will launch a new setting?

    It is simply not true that we haven't had non-FR support. They've been slowly developing and creating crunch material for Eberron and other settings (psionics etc.) in UA and we know from a fact that they are using UA to playtest new material before it gets published (Xanathar's Guide to...

    D&D 5E So...Volo, Xanathar...who's next?

    I'd like to second that. It really is a great book. I read into it every time I need inspiration for a game, even a non-FR game. Greenwood really manages to make the day-to-day life in a fantasy world come to life.

    D&D 5E So...Volo, Xanathar...who's next?

    Personally, I'd be interested in a future book similar to the old Mysteries of the Moon Sea for Forgotten Realms. I loved the structure of this one, it didn't have 1 over-arching campaign, but it presented different locations and different mini-plots and adventures.

    D&D 5E Summoning in Ravenloft

    You could also make it that a different creature is summoned instead, one that is native to the demiplane. For example, there are multiple 'horror' themed elementals. What if, instead of a water elemental, you summon a blood elemental? Etc.

    D&D 5E Mike Mearls states on Twitter hardcover adventures now annual releases

    I don't think this is true necessarily. It's just that it makes sense, from a financial perspective not to support multiple settings at once. The D&D team is rather small. They can't afford to make stuff that is clearly directed towards one specific campaign setting, if that means that a large...

    Monster Slayers from Xanathar's Guide is Van Helsing

    I am so going to want to play this.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana October 2017: Fiendish Options

    I like it. It's not something huge and actually quite minor, but it is something that expands player options and makes it easier to customise your character. I'm also going to look at this document, the next time my players will have to face an evil cult.

    D&D 5E Player Races in Upcoming Volo's Guide to Monsters

    I hope the book will feature the Thri-kreen. Either way, I'll buy the book. I have to support more race options. :)

    D&D 5E [Merged] "We're back!" Threads

    Glad to have the website back. Too bad we lost a lot of the good threads, including all the 5e guids that were ported from the WoTC forums... :(

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    I really like this Unearthed Arcana article. The Shadow Sorcerer has just become my favorite sorcerer origin yet! The Undying Light Warlock is very... weird, but in a good way!

    Unearthed Arcana Cast your guess for upcoming Unearthed Arcana

    I would like that very much. The book Frostburn from 3.5 was one of my favorite Dungeons and Dragons book ever.
