Right now my biggest "pluses" are: The new emphasis on backgrounds. Making character creation more modular. Some of the language simplifying aspects of the rules (example: the d20 test language). The framework of the Ardlings. Putting inspiration so it gets more love. Some of the feat...

The Player's Wilderness Map from The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. Only Gary Gygax is listed in the credits of my copy so I'm assuming he made this map. This was my first major adventure I got to play in that I had just become comfortable with the mapping system and I relished creating a map for...

Definitely his dump stat

Because there are some people that have a hard time creating something outside the "box" and also because it can make it easier in some cases to make up characters for new players/pick up game pre-mades. Personally I would have printed like 6 generically ubiquitous backgrounds (Maybe Acolyte...

Maybe. I'll admit that I have a bad habit of buying books (TTRPG or otherwise) that I don't need that borders on a compulsion, but I'm going toi hold off on making any hard decisions until I see the finished product. I will admit to watching the changes closely and doing my best to playtest...

It's possible that they didn't just include that part of the backgrounds with the initial playtest drop.

I have a few houserules (some nicked from 3rd party sources). These all come from Fateforge's system, but some have been modified: Wounds (modified to allow a Con save to avoid because they are exceedingly deadly). Critical Hits/Misses on Magic spells Critical Hits/Misses on Saving Throws...

Slightly yes, but mostly no. D&D has been a mainstay for me and my friends for decades. However we do enjoy other games (GURPS, Cypher System, Traveller, Palladium (don't judge), WoD, Kult, and Pathfinder among others) and try to switch up as often as possible. That said I would be lying if I...

Maybe they're opening a tarrasqueic park on an island off the coast of costa rica

I voted no for a few specific reasons. I enjoy online access and PDFs because they can make searches easier, but they also can bog down a game if there's slow wifi/internet or the site is experiencing issues. Paper books don't have that issue. Also one of my players is mostly blind and has...

Same which is why I used him as inspiration.

I literally have never noticed that till you pointed them out. lol.. No clue

First Edition Ranger was my first class and love. Some of it was from Aragorn, but most was from Tanis. This picture sealed it for me.

This piece by Elmore grabbed me for places. So little actual art, but the story is endless. It tells a story full of intrigue and danger without the sweeping character panorama that seemed so popular at the time. Still gives me chills.

A LOT of monster specific art work over the ages made me fall in love with D&D. Some more than others. So many evocative prints, regardless of if they have color or not. I remember being awed by the Giants and Dragons, frightened by the Githyanki and Sons of Kyuss, viscerally loathing the demons...
