    What even is "Rules Medium"?

    For me, two boolean values would determine a rule's "weight"... 1. Is the dead tree core rulebooks(s) hardcover? 2. Does the game suggest rules over rulings? If both are false, Rules Lite, else if both are true, Rules Heavy. Naturally, if only one of those are false and the other is true, now...

    Level Up (A5E) Sorcerer Class abilities - unclear wording

    1. Probably yes, it seems to imply that you choose 1 of the options, or it would be too massive for a 3rd level class feature. 2. I'd say the former. Despite Sorcerers getting a huge buff in known spells (as they should have), I think "spells known" casters still need some help to overcome...

    D&D 5E (2014) Strixhaven: Orientation

    Is that owl-folk(?) a new playable species? (I'm interested...)

    Level Up (A5E) Timeless Body, and (the more supernatural) Adepts

    AFAIK, the Timeless Body feature is now exclusive to Green Knight Heralds, as the O5E Druid effect (of tenth the normal aging speed). TBH this change by itself was quite understandable, as it's more plausible for the more physically fit-seeming GK's to be healthier than their Druid friends (plus...

    Level Up (A5E) Errors from PDF

    Is the fact that Tieflings as of now do not communicate with Abyssal/Infernal/Whatever-Fiendish-Tongue by default, unlike Aasimars, an error too?

    Level Up (A5E) Level up pdf table of contents

    Yeah, and even the Adventurer's Guide PDF ToC is too messily organized. They really need some more categorization in say, the big chapters...

    Ah, I feel great inner peace from finally seeing some printed example DCs...

    Level Up (A5E) A full list of combat maneuvers

    I'd welcome it very much if the paper books for A5E are printed only after extensive pre-1st printing errata. It was quite disheartening seeing my N.E.W. v1.1 getting severely outdated in the application of rules...

    WOIN Since when did Damage Dice tradeoff turn out 1:1?

    So far, it seems that only the latest pdf of OLD has "most" of the errata applied. All except Assisting (only a vague blurb on group checks as far as I can look up), Fey PCs' traits (monster section still says only non natives have cold iron vulnerability), and Medical Skills (no appliance as...

    WOIN Since when did Damage Dice tradeoff turn out 1:1?

    The post-1.2 errata seem to suggest this big change, with others like REP starting with 3. When and in which publication did this happen first?

    D&D 5E (2024) "The Future of D&D" (New Core Books in 2024!)

    Eh, more and more further from my ideal "balanced simulationism" rules... (sigh)

    Worlds of Design: Active vs. Passive—Part 1

    Stark passive player here, and that's why I am greatly helped by the existance of the CHA stat and its associated skills (provided they function mechanically as intended).

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasters and Balance in 5e: A Poll

    I was trying to refrain from posting, then I saw this awesome rant smashing Syndrome's mad mantra to smithereens. Couldn't help posting in the end...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Takes Control of D&D Translations

    I wish the South Korean version gets the same direct treatment ASAP (especially on the general quality dept.). As stated sometime ago here, the previous licensee were a total bunch of unprofessional dumpster fire...

    D&D General Alignment: the problem is Chaos

    My views also align with this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do guns do so much damage?

    Whether 5E firearms are OP or UP, the big point I care about is that I'd like them included in the SRD for good ASAP, out of my old and fading first print DMG...

    WAR's art style is as enjoyable as always for me! :)

    Worlds of Design: How Long Should Your Rulebook Be?

    I'd love to make a complex rule game myself, if I only had all the time and money in the world. Shame I'm quite surely short on both though. By the way, my ideal game would resemble a GURPS 4E Basic Set with DX and IQ separated into 2 equal halves respectively then having the whole bare text of...

    Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: An In-Depth Review

    Oooh, I missed that. By the way, is that mark a long established canon description of Igg..er, Tasha's visage? Thanks for the missed information, I knew it was him on first sight (though if feels quite weird to have the older archmage D&D character get his "Gandalfy" looks seized by his...

    Tasha's Cauldron of Everything: An In-Depth Review

    Art comment only: The bald guy looks like the last iteration of Mordenkainen I heard of; who might be the lady playing chess with him...?
