    D&D (2024) Here's The Full List of Changes in the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook

    I do too! I was mostly kidding around about why Star Wars is considered Fantasy and Star Trek Sci-Fi – the "high theory" discussion of the genres and what needs to be explained versus what needs to be hand-waived.

    D&D (2024) Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons 50th Anniversary

    Got mine in the mail today. My Dark Deal card represents the 2024 DMG cover art sketch; notably, it calls the edition: "Revised 5th Edition (2024)". Presumably Revised 5th Edition then is the name WotC has now landed on!

    D&D (2024) Here's The Full List of Changes in the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook

    That's science fiction, we're playing a fantasy game here! Fantasy is all about the static mythic shared past; science fiction is all about the ever-changing myriad futures!

    D&D (2024) How Do I Make a Beast Rider?

    I'd note that the medium creature Mastiff is listed amongst the mounts and its art shows it wearing a saddle, but I can't find any rule in the glossary nor Chapter 1 nor Chapter 6 about mount sizes needing to be bigger than you. I'd assume RAI is one size larger, but I could see arguments made...

    Oh, so the Elsir Vale on Abeir-Toril predated the Nentir Vale in Nerath? Fascinating detail!

    RPG Evolution: Inspiration from Kotor

    1. Came here thinking article/post discussing how RPGs can learn from KoToR. 2. Learned about a cool city I had never heard of before. 3. Was puzzled why KOTOR until hearing about your cruise. 4. Now need to go back and read your other city articles!

    D&D (2024) Here's The Full List of Changes in the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook

    As far as I can tell, the only reason why Bards even have a spell list above level 5 is for the 8th-level spell Glibness, only shared with Warlocks and not the other three lists Bards can draw from. Though I appreciate a standard Bard spell list for all 9 levels despite Magical Secrets; it’s...

    D&D (2024) Forgotten Realms Player Guide

    This is heavily reminiscent to me of the first year of 4e. Nerath (Pseudo-Greyhawk) in the core books, then FR Player's and Campaign Guides as the first major setting. Given that 4e was literally trying to launch the VTT, maybe 2024 is the do-over of 2008?

    Greg Tito Leaves Wizards of the Coast

    I was afraid of exactly that when I saw the headline, and then I read the article and am brimming with joy that he's going to be using his talents for the good people of Washington! Best wishes to Greg!

    D&D General I miss Mountain Dwarfs

    That's because, while Our Elves are Different, Our Dwarves are All the Same. Just be glad we don't have playable Trolls in D&D.

    D&D (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    Take Magic Initiate (Wizard) for your Origin feat then. Or even a Knowledge-based feat/background; you're still a Fighter but you're studying wizardry on the side for those first two levels. You might have insights in Arcane Lore or even be able to cast a Wizard cantrip while otherwise being a...

    D&D General Bob World Builder Recreates WOTC's "Do You Like Me?" Survey!

    I've mostly heard Pathfinder games getting explicitly called Pathfinder by players, rather than as, "D&D. – What version? Oh, Pathfinder revised.

    Seems fine to me. What is not working for you? Sorry, I'm not digging through 81 thread pages, this afternoon…

    D&D (2024) Have the 2024 PHB Reveals changed your intentions re: purchasing D&D 2024/25?

    No. I'm looking forward to 5e 2024 Core Rules, and especially the new organization of the PHB. A lot more useful.

    D&D (2024) New stealth rules.

    Invisibility just means that you can't be seen. I think people are confusing this with continuous magical invisibility as you move out of cover or make noises. This is literally just consolidating the condition of not being noticed with the magical condition that makes you not noticed.

    D&D (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    No. I'm looking forward to 5e 2024 Core Rules, and especially the new organization of the PHB. A lot more useful.
