Ravenloft was my first thought as well, but someone on Reddit pointed out that this actually makes a lot of sense for the upcoming Lorwyn book - specifically tying them to the dark side of the setting, Shadowmoor.

That... supports my argument? I agree that high level D&D has its issues. I was arguing against the idea that it takes too long to reach high levels. I fully agree that "high levels" start well before level 20, and that means it takes well less than the year and a half mentioned to reach that...

I think almost all of the options are contributing factors, but I want to push back against this one (and apologies if this has been discussed already, I didn't read all 45 pages of the thread): If it's taking games too long to reach high levels, it's because in my experience, DMs level their...

The group I DM for just finished a year and a half long campaign last night. I'm taking a step back from the DM chair as I've been DMing weekly for about five years now, so what we do next depends on who steps in and what they want to run. One of my players has expressed some interest in running...

I just do not understand the comments hating on the art, I think it looks fantastic. My favorite has to be Kent Davis's landscape with the redesigned bronze dragon flying above - I immediately recognized his art style, he did some fantastic work for Call of the Netherdeep as well. I think he...

Every spell you mentioned (besides Shocking Grasp, which was changed) costs a spell slot and requires the monster to fail a Saving Throw for their reactions to be taken away. Legendary Monsters often have excellent saving throw modifiers and Legendary Resistances if they really don't want to...

But you can literally still just buy physical books the same way as always. If they really didn't want anyone on any platform but D&D Beyond, they wouldn't be publishing physical books, and they wouldn't be releasing their content on Roll20/Foundry/Fantasy Grounds. If they do start locking real...

There was a PCGamer article bemoaning the preorder model for these books as well and I'm so confused why this is an issue now. They've been doing Digital and Physical bundles for a while now. They've been doing Digital pre-order early access for at least a year. Are the dumb VTT assets the straw...

There's a preview video for the preview video you can watch now: https://linkst.dndbeyond.com/view/5f74af06fa98e301807c142dl9ywg.6lo/8d0b05f7 It shows a lot more of the new art as well as the Champion Fighter subclass blurred out... but you can still pretty much read it if you squint. Changes...

I wanna touch on this point because I think this is a common misconception. Go read the credits of the book and you'll see the names of a ton of WotC staff and people who have worked with WotC on other projects. It isn't like Matt Mercer handed WotC a complete campaign and they published it -...

When they both were announced, my answer was Staircase, because I've really enjoyed the anthology books for the most part. But after seeing the adventure list (I'm really not into Barrier Peaks's sci-fi and Tsojcanth is just more of the dungeon crawling we got in Yawning Portal) and hearing Eve...

Article from ComicBook.com I'm personally very excited to hear the Eberron portion will be going to the Mournland.

You know, if you doubt their claim you could also do a bit of research. I'm sure they didn't feel the need to provide evidence because it just seemed obviously true to them. But if you want some evidence, here are a few poll results from reddit and the D&D Beyond forums. They are by no means...

Man, I was really hoping they'd leak who the important Eberron NPCs will be, I'm so curious about that. I also wanna know where in Eberron they'll set that part of the adventure - I'm assuming Sharn as Rising has a massive Sharn focus, but I'm hoping for something more interesting.

This looks like a really cool book that I'd love to have, but I can't really justify spending $100 on it. Maybe it'll go on a Christmas wish list. Love listening to the interview though - Jason Tondro sounds like he really enjoyed making this book.

Not sure how to answer this based on the games I run. I generally like my players to stick to official content where possible, for a number of reasons. However, I DM in Eberron a lot, and I allow any and all Keith Baker Publications material, and that's 3PP. So my answer is, "I don't allow most...

We don't know for sure what will be printed in the 2024 PHB, but the latest playtest version of Action Surge let you do any action except Magic actions (like casting a spell). However, if you believe you can break up your Attack action to use your Action Surge to cast a spell in the current...

We saw 2 versions of the Bard, and both of them were during the period where they were still testing the idea of having 3 general spell lists - Arcane/Primal/Divine. The first version had them using the Arcane list but only certain schools of magic, and moved some features around to different...

You're assuming they don't know when they're releasing the books. They probably do, or at least have an internal target date they haven't shared publicly. The only real naughty word-up from WotC was their Social Media department tweeting out an incorrect date. It's an embarassing communication error...

All of the AI art was from one artist, Ilya Shkipin. The Adze of Annam is by Isabel Gibney - and I'm looking at it right now, and I don't think it's AI art. Unfortunately, a lot of accusations of art being AI generated sounds a lot like people talking about Photoshopped pictures back in the...
