    D&D (2024) Collage of Dance Reveal

    Why, though? What do you gain by making all the advancements happen at the same level for every class, apart from consistency? Sometimes it makes more sense with the class fantasy to have things kick in at different levels: some classes have it baked in from the start (sorcerer needs to know...

    DDAL Best Adventurers League Season 1-10 / Advice on running it from home

    I ran season 4 (the Ravenloft season) as a home campaign. It was very successful, but I did quite a lot of massaging to make it work--partly because my group plays in a world where Barovia is just a place on the map, not a separate demiplane. I wrote up my experiences in this thread, but I need...

    D&D General What are the Ultimate Villains of D&D?

    Lolth seems like she should be tops in a category, but I'm not sure what the category could be. "Evil god(dess)" has lots of contenders, and arguably Tiamat fits that one as well. Is "spider" too narrow to be its own category?

    D&D (2024) What's the future of Xanathar and Tasha? (+)

    In addition to the issues with naming that others have already mentioned, I think WotC has moved away from making books that are just player focused or just DM-focused. They want to have something for both groups in each supplement.

    D&D (2024) What's the future of Xanathar and Tasha? (+)

    Why do you assume the puzzles won't make the cut?

    D&D (2024) The 2014 vs 2024 PHB Compatibility Thread

    I'm expecting that nobody will actually play 2014 characters in a 2024 campaign, because they'll be considered too mechanically weak, even if they technically still function. And I suspect that WotC wants it that way.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    This doesn't really sound backwards compatible to me. It seems like they're trying to have it both ways.

    D&D General Higher Level = Greater Complexity = Slower Play

    What's more, (some) people complain if the game doesn't give them more options. Unfortunately, the sweet spot is probably different for various groups of players.

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    Yes, we had quite a long discussion thread on it. https://www.enworld.org/threads/matt-colville-on-adventure-length.703754/

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    I started a thread to compile a list of available arcs, although I'm sure there are many that haven't been added yet. It might be a good starting point: https://www.enworld.org/threads/al-adventures-that-form-mid-size-story-arcs.672688/

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    Not anymore, but WotC made 10+ "seasons'" worth of adventures themselves before outsourcing them.

    D&D General Why 5E Adventurs Suck!!!!!

    As I always point out, WotC still makes these in the form of Adventurer's League adventures. But since they're not published as physical books, they seem to fly under the radar for a lot of people. They absolutely vary in quality, but there are some real gems among them. It's pretty common to...

    D&D 5E Avernus Any Good?

    So Merric, apologies for necroing this thread, but I'm running this adventure for my group right now (at their request, so running something else isn't really an option). Since you're the most critical person of the adventure on the forum, I'd love it if you could give me a list of things to...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus"

    Opening Trailer and the Song of Elturel Before the first session, I played this fan-made trailer for the group to get us all in the mood. The soundtrack is a Swedish version of the "Song of Elturel"--see further down for a link to a video with just the music. I've also found several...

    D&D 5E Glamour Bard is a bad ass subclass

    We know, but it's a big group, so there are almost always enough people who want it to make it worthwhile.
