    D&D 5E Mearls on other settings

    Below you can see three very interesting tweets by Mike Mearls regarding the non-published dnd settings (even Spelljammer). Although he doesn't mention how it supposed to support these settings, it seems to me that it will gonna be a holistic approach.

    Stream of Annihilation Preview - DINOSAURS!

    Also talked about Planescape and mentioned Eberron. Maybe a multi-setting adventure path?

    D&D 5E Telekinesis damage?

    First of all, thank you for your replies. I am preparing an ambush from a mad driven cultists/bandits. The spellcaster is a warlock of the great one (from Volos). The party will be on a ship in a river journey. They will have to pass through a canyon and in the canyon there will be the ambush.

    D&D 5E Telekinesis damage?

    Here is the scene. There is a mage on the top of the cliff and casts Telekinesis on a 1000pounds boulder and drops it down to the party. Lets say the height is 30 feet. How would you handle a situation like this? Attack roll? Dexterity saving throw for the party member(s)? And what damage the...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wizards & Warlocks -- Hexblades, Raven Queens, and Lore Mastery!

    Isn't the first level of Hexblade waaaaayy more powerful than the other first level patron powers? Hexblade gets at 1st lvl proficiency at medium armor and shields, cha. modifier instead str/dex, and to one cursed creature once per long rest gets 19-20 critical, bonus to dmg equal to prof. bonus...

    What D&D Monster Lurks in Stranger Things 2?

    The first thought that crossed my mind was a Retriever. A fitting monster to enter the material plane of Stranger Things grab some kids and bring em them back to the depths of the Abyss.

    D&D 5E Warlock UA predictions?

    We saw a shaman under druid's guise but i prefer to see one with warlock's mechanics. Seems to me more relevant.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Sorcerers: Favored Souls, Phoenix Sorcery, Sea Sorcery, & Stone Sorcery

    As I think it of it over and over, I think Wizards of the Coast didn't wanted primary to test if Earth Sorcerer has good/bad mechanics but mostly if we want such a specific subclass. :P

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Sorcerers: Favored Souls, Phoenix Sorcery, Sea Sorcery, & Stone Sorcery

    Some thoughts/questions: I see in many recent UA subclasses a trend of over-complication. Probably this is intented in order to test our attitute on more complicated options. I am negative. One good example is Favored Soul's "Favored By The Gods". Why has 2d4 mechanic and not the usual...

    D&D 5E Highest Quality D&D 5e 3rd party publishers?

    I am surprised that no one mentioned Cubicle 7. It has produced the adaptation of Tolkien's Middle Earth to 5e rules. The Adventures of Middle Earth is very solid book, with just GREAT production value. The Loremaster book (just got the pdf) continues the superior production value and is...

    D&D 5E 101 events at a gathering to choose a chieftan

    You can run it like an Agatha's Christi novel. A knife in the dark and the elimination of a minor but loud candidate. Who would want his death? The oppressive nation? A rival druid? Maybe the obvious suspect is not what is seems. Maybe indeed is a love affair/ a long and not forgotten grievance!

    Please help me find a defining game mechanic for my homebrew world

    Thank you very much for all your replies. They were really very constructive. I have not yet made my mind on the exact form of this subsystem but slowly it starts to shape. What you 'll read below is various ideas in a semi-envisioned system. My intentions are to make a colorful but not...

    Please help me find a defining game mechanic for my homebrew world

    As the title says I am searching for a mechanic which will have a universal impact in my campaign setting. As universal gaming mechanic I mean something like the corruption/hope points of the The One Ring game or the madness checks from Cthulhu's Chaosium etc. Something that all the players will...

    Unearthed Arcana Latest Unearthed Arcana Introduces Rogue & Ranger Archetypes

    First thoughts: Ranger: we have two oldies here: Horizon Walker from 3e and Warden (or Primeval Guardian) from 4e. I really liked both subclasses without being spectacular. I loved the planescape feeling of the Horizon Walker. It is a class that could see in my table in a plane hoping...

    D&D 5E What books from previous editions do you tend to mine for material?

    Ι have extensively used from Planescape and Birthright series. There are way too many cool ideas to use in your homebrew world!

    D&D 5E What would you put in Volume 2 of Tales of the Yawning Portal

    Why? There aren't so many references (one in DMG and one in MM? Did I miss something?). Also although Great Modron March is a good adventure (not the best Planescape imho - i prefer Dead Gods) i think it is too niche for the 1/3rd of wizard's book production in a year.

    D&D 5E What would you put in Volume 2 of Tales of the Yawning Portal

    How i would love a collection of Planescape adventures (with an update of all the plane/faction content into 5e). I wouldn't mind this collection would be "The Tales of Infinite Staircase."

    D&D 5E What settings would you like to see in 5e?

    Nobody mentioned Michael's Moorcock Eternal Campion series? What a shame! I would love to see Elric, Hawkmoon, Ericose,VonBek and all the other aspects of the Eternal Champion, their allies and enemies. Regarding wotc, i would instantly buy anything that has to with Planescape, Birthright and...
