    A Look at the Duerger: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Preview

    I for one love the duergar and welcome our new gray dwarf overlords (seriously, I do really like them, probably more so than the drow). The page is a nice teaser for MToF, but nothing more. As for no UA, it's disappointing, but it's not like Mike Mearls isn't publicly designing brand new 5e...

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond video on Mind Flayers

    Airships and Wizards is Halruaa, Lantan is gnomes, Gond worshipers, and weird technology.

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond video on Mind Flayers

    That part was reliable because they flat out said a future product will take place in Lantan. :)

    D&D 5E Elf Subrace Survey Up

    It's been a while since I gave my opinion in a survey, but I decided to give more feedback going forward. Here are my quick thoughts: 1. Avariel - rated it OK. Noted that in previous lore, they are noted for their beautiful singing voices, so I suggested proficiency in Performance. Also said...

    D&D 5E No Bladesinger?

    I thought I remember reading that the 4 reprinted subclasses from SCAG were the most popular ones. Maybe bladesinger isn't that popular. Who knows?

    D&D 5E How Defeat this Coffelock Villain?

    This may sound harsh, but after reading about this "build," I would talk to the DM about changing the tenor of the campaign, and if he refuses, find myself a new game. The "coffeelock" hinges on some charitable reading of the rules (to say the least, as most of these builds do) and as a DM, I...

    Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

    SKT is in part inspired by Mike Selinker's "Lear the Giant-King" from Dungeon 78, which is of course based on King Lear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unearthed Arcana Four New Elf Subraces in Unearthed Arcana

    I'm not a fan of shadar-kai as elves either, but I would like to point out that they weren't originally humans either when they were introduced in 3e. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E D&D Inspired By—What’s on your read list

    Hiero's Journey and its sequel are great books! Truly awesome science fantasy. Very influential on psionics and Gamma World. Also features a protagonist who "levels up" after gaining experience in combat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E Why D&D is not (just) Tolkien

    How early are we talking? Because at some point, the zeitgeist would have pulled D&D towards Tolkien regardless of whether or not he was a big personal influence on Gygax and Arneson. Personally, I'd argue that Anderson, Howard, Leiber, Lovecraft, Moorcock, and Vance were bigger influences on...

    Based on a recent tweet, I think a new Bard video is coming out soon.

    D&D 5E The Tortle Package Coming Soon...

    I didn't realize there would be classic monsters from the Known World/Mystara! That was a neat bonus.

    Tomb of Annihilation Is Here - What Do You Think?

    There's no way WotC will license Greyhawk (or any setting for that matter IMO). They're mining and referencing that stuff all over the place.
