A lot of DnD lore (past and present) was officially opened up to the community on Dungeon Masters Guild for use in 5e projects, which has produced a lot of excellent material beyond the official books. A lot of the stronger writers and a number of published authors have joined in, partly because...

The most dangerous enemies in war are the ones who sit next to you in governance of the country. Many a leader of empires like Rome fell to internal conflicts. This can be an excellent source of plot hooks for a DnD campaign.

Because the spells are designed for PCs to use as written, but won't necessarily fit within the monster damage guidelines nor be balanced for actual play when given for monsters to use. PCs and Monsters being built using different methods, especially their hit points, means that spells will not...

It's the guidelines for monster damage that doesn't line up with the spell damage progression. Monster HP progression also is not done the same as player HP progression, so the spells in the game logically can not be balanced both ways without having two different sets of damage dice. As such...

It's worth noting that a lot of 5e DMs may have monsters cast attack spells without adjusting the damage dice (they're balanced for players using them against monsters instead of the other way around), which can result in a skewed perspective of player hit point values.

There's a part on page 140 of Descent Into Avernus under Idyllglen History. IMO the adventure should have emphasized Zariel's origins a bit more considering how big of a role she plays in the story.

Zariel, redeemed, would likely return to Lathander, whom she originally served. Lathander would be delighted to have one of his own returned, with a new beginning tempered by the wisdom of self-reflection. Asmodeus could have the Dark Eight, a cadre of pit fiend generals, handle the Blood War...

It's worth noting that Asmodeus is not just an archdevil, but a deity, and a deity can appear however they wish without polymorphing themselves with a spell - it's due to the mutable nature of their quasi-spiritual, quasi-physical, quasi-conceptual bodies. As such, every depiction of Asmodeus...

I just bought it since I'm working on a big project with stats for an avatar of Asmodeus and I have a lore pamphlet for Asmodeus on DMsGuild that contains a hefty Afterlife section for the Nine Hells - I've been consolidating the "official" lore from all editions to make a "lore to rule them...

The concept of a holy mage empowered by divinity is pretty heavily used in a lot of novels, graphic novels, comics, videogames, and animation with a lot of variations just as a DnD cleric is capable of fielding. The keywords "Saint", "Saintess", "Apostle", "Prophet", and "Prophetess" bring up a...

"A cleric, a druid, and a warlock walk into a bar..."

I would like to see Gammaworld make a comeback. If I had the money I'd approach WotC for licensing a new edition of Gammaworld, using a new rules system that uses the CC DnD 5e rules as inspiration, with adjustment in many places to fit the scifi nature of the setting.

It's great to see another large project completed, but will the title for the book be okay? I vaguely recall someone having to rename their project, possibly due to trademark issues or titles earmarked for official WotC products.

For my books of magic spells on DMsGuild, I organize the spells like this: 1. A charted index of spell names, arranged by level then alphabetically. 2. 1-sentence summaries of the spells, arranged by level then alphabetically. 3. The actual spells themselves, arranged by level then...

One might imagine a gnome with small hands.

Apparently Unity has been losing a lot of money in recent quarters, so maybe the shares wouldn't be seen as a good longterm investment? At least compared to what could be purchased with the money from a buyout sooner than later? Maybe there are other perks? I received a reply on Reddit...

I think that rumor was debunked, though if Elon Musk wanted to sell off Twitter, and needed to reduce its share price some more to attract a buyout, I wouldn't put it past him to psych out the user base. I'm half convinced that the CEO of Unity is doing something like that - couldn't sell his...

"1 + 1 = 3, b****es!"

Another scary thought: The threshold for getting charged by Unity is actually much lower than it seems at first glance. A lot of people have multiple devices. Desktop, laptop, phone, Steam Deck, console. Multiple installs per customer upfront, and then they have devices they change over to in...
