Discussion in the Mearls thread brings me back here. Went and looked and rankings and I'm baffled - why don't the 2024 books have any rankings? Also, this is currently the top 8 in D&D genre. Only one book actually from WotC in the top 8. What is going on?

Of course there were. How are you supposed to explain the Orc and the Pie if there are no Bakers?!?

It's a treadmill. First, you fight blue blobs. Then red. Then the "fearsome" black blobs. They're all the same thing, just with more hit points and bigger damage hits. I don't mind the idea of a Orc Warrior vs. an Orc Shaman or even maybe an "Eye of Gruumsh" (who sort of works as an evil...

It baffles me that the Gas Spore is. What about the Banshee? No longer so much a threat?

Have to admit, it's been a while since I watched it. Still rather have my "human" animal lords (though maybe the ability to turn into a huge animal wouldn't be bad)

I like the humanoid version much better myself (isn't it from Lhankmar?). The idea of the Lord of Cats taking human form to deal with those pesky humans - like a Dragon "stooping" to transform into a human. To me the new picture is just a Tabaxi and a Lupin - way too anthropomorphized (and I...

I'll raise you a "Cap'n" Flapjack

I have most of the 3E versions of Freeport, what other editions does it exist for and @Whizbang Dustyboots which would you suggest is the best edition? EDIT: I mean, best edition of the setting, not the game system.

One last minor thing to add - The "City" of Shangore - a floating, sprawling shantytown just off the main coast. Its raucous piers are littered with taverns that smell of rum and resound with sea shanties. A popular profession is that of the Pearl Divers, who dare the monster-infested depths...

Understood. I'm off to develop on my thoughts for this. It's too good for me to lose on pouncing on it.

I really like this - the "Center" of the universe becomes the Elemental Chaos, and as "Anchors" appear, worlds/plane crystalize into reality. These realities move further outward from the center (storms, chaos and wild magic) as they "crystalize" or are tamed. The Outer Planes (excepting...

Wasn't meant as a clock or metaplot - just an action point, something just kinda going on the background. PCs could encounter collapsing realities and attempt to save them or exploit them before they vanish. At higher levels, they may get targetted by someone who wants to steal or destroy...

How about this - beings of level 1-10 are fairly common in the various realms, but each reality (beyond the outer planes) has one or more "anchor being" of 11th+ level (and at least one of 20th level). If this anchor being dies, that reality (slowly) fades out of existence unless some powerful...

Planar airships are the primary way different city-states send and receive goods, with the Gith(yanki) having a stranglehold control on the legal movement (and taxation thereof) of goods and enforces it with their Red Dragon patrols. This has led to pirating, the greatest of who is Greenbeard...

I'm up for a Dark Waters style swashbuckling and sword & sorcery campaign with muskets, dark magic and flying ships.

I'd put it more likely as a Bigby's / Fizban style book, and my money would be on Aberrations (though I'd prefer to see an Undead one myself like Liber Mortis).

After reading the comments here, I agree the PDK is a miss as it currently stands. It could be a great Fighter pet class with a name change and a small bit of work, and the PDK should be something else completely. (And they really blew it not making a fun Harper subclass after the release of...
