    D&D (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    I mean, she was only that in one alleged tale. Every other one, she's one of the three Gorgon sisters and never was a human

    D&D General Anyone know how to sell a ddb account?

    You're basically going to have to go into the dodgy side market side of things and, I gotta be honest? I don't know if there's much of a market for it But, yeah, Ebay or Reddit are going to be your areas and you maaaay want to keep the specific account on the downlow just in case

    D&D (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    This annoyed me enough after the provided examples that, no, you're not escaping. We're dragging out some specific pokemon that note their intellect in terms of being why they have psychic potential Alakazam: Its brain can out-perform a super computer. Its IQ is said to be over 5,000 Slowking...

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    Oh come on, this is hardly 'twitter activists'. D&D has had issues with its portrayal of orcs for decades, and 5E was hardly innocent of things. About the best thing you can say about it was "I guess that wasn't as bad as what happened with Hadozee", but that's only a comparison in the way...

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    And my big ol' wall of text starting this thing was arguing against someone complaining about this change, who ignore that 'aren't always evil' entirely, and think they should always be evil and how dare a popular choice be playable Regardless though, given how much they're spicing up every...

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    Oh come on Micah, you know well enough how I take these "Oh these monsters should just always be evil like they were in the old editions and we should never change from then!" posts. What next, we want to bring back the old Encounter Table - Mars ones, for all of those people clamouring for John...

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    Well, too late because D&D orcs have never been interesting and people prefer orcs being more than just "The stock humanoid enemy". More interesting types of orcs from Warhammer and Warcraft absolutely crushed D&D orcs, so they're the pop culture standard nowerdays I think the aim is to have...

    D&D (2024) STORMBREAK: A TARKIR ADVENTURE & THUNDER OVER FORSAKEN ISLESA FORGOTTEN REALMS ADVENTURE

    Energy, specifically Aether and MTG Mana. A whirling, chaotic vacuuum of space, mana and energy. Like, the most equivilent it has to anything in D&D is the Weave, except if the Weave touches all dimensions and you can hop to other realities through there, and completely unconnected to gods to...

    D&D (2024) STORMBREAK: A TARKIR ADVENTURE & THUNDER OVER FORSAKEN ISLESA FORGOTTEN REALMS ADVENTURE

    Nope, only has the Eldrazi. Anything that doesn't have a Planeswalker spark is not powerful enough to be there and isn't going to last Its not the Shadowfall, its not aligned with death. Its just somewhere you're not supposed to be. There's no negative, no positive, it is just "This is not a...

    D&D (2024) STORMBREAK: A TARKIR ADVENTURE & THUNDER OVER FORSAKEN ISLESA FORGOTTEN REALMS ADVENTURE

    The Astral has all of its hangups, though. The Blind Eternities doesn't. Astral's chock full of things, its all timeless and whatnot, this is all stuff that doesn't apply to the Blind Eternities. It isn't a place you visit and have adventures in, its a place that tears you to shreds unless...

    Dungeons & Dragons Teases New Campaign Settings

    I mean, I think it got more than Jakandor did in like. I genuinely forget Jakandor is a D&D setting and I keep thinking its some third party one that got roped in by accident before I remember, no, it is first party.

    Dungeons & Dragons Teases New Campaign Settings

    I mean, I think we know the reasons pretty well. Its too far from the D&D standards and just isn't that popuar to put the effort in to put everything down Back in 2015 when they did that setting survey, Birthright was in the survey if I remember right, but sure didn't mention it in the results...

    Dungeons & Dragons Teases New Campaign Settings

    Yeah, I'm surprised Birthright's come up this much compared to Mystara (which at least gets mention every now and again) or Council of Wyrms. While Mystara's the likely and easy "Bring this set back from the dead, give it a light polishing and release" if they chose to do one, Council of Wyrms...

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    I mean, I remember how it was when I started in 3.5E I looked at anything with cool art and lore, and stayed away from anything that looked too complex to run That's lore, not utility. Its one and the same

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    Its never been about utility, though? Its always been a description of what these things are and how they operate. Even 1E and 2E is like this, especially 2E Charts are useless to a new DM playing through, but a picture and a description explaining "This is what a Beholder is, where they can...

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    I mean, frankly, the issue is they shouldn't have made the PDK a class to begin with back in 3E and should have just made it a title you can get as a paladin or something. Its never worked, not once. 3E's is so terrible that, even in Neverwinter Nights, an engine that smooths over a lot of the...

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    Flumph lore gives you ideas on how to use the creature, worldbuilding ideas to use in your game, ideas for a setpiece your players can stumble into and go "Huh, cool, this is a neat thing as we help these weird jellyfish things who have been feeding off the psionic emninations of THE ENTITY and...

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    As someone who was introduced to the PDK in Neverwinter Nights, I don't understand why it even exists as a option. Its just an order of knights, yet it keeps coming back as a seperate class or subclass Back in Neverwinter Nights, the PDK was, genuinely, the worst class in the game. And this is...

    D&D (2024) MM Reveal Videos: Giants Tuesday 28th and Celestials Thursay 30th

    A real life rex is only around 12-13 ft tall so being a whole 10 feet taller but weighing less sounds more like issues with giant weight Whales get way bigger than that (comparable to the largest sauropods) but they're not in giant, always been in animal.

    D&D (2024) MM Reveal Videos: Giants Tuesday 28th and Celestials Thursay 30th

    Nah, dinosaurs are just average creatures. Vast majority of them aren't giant anyway. Your average Velociraptor is only about the size of a turkey after all, and even ones we generally associate with being huge like the Tyrannosaurus are still dwarfed by your average D&D giant
