    D&D 5E (2024) What are the top 3 things, above all else, you want from One DnD?

    Thanks. As you can infer, English is not my first language, so I spell many words in the wrong, bad way :)

    Not a Conspiracy Theory: Moving Toward Better Criticism in RPGs

    Nah, Prince Andrei Nikolayevich Bolkonsky was always more interesting than the other characters ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) What are the top 3 things, above all else, you want from One DnD?

    You are being pedantic on my pedantism, sir :p Tangent question: Did anyone read that as "thac-zero" in any time?

    D&D 5E (2024) What are the top 3 things, above all else, you want from One DnD?

    1) A new way to multiclass or, if kept the same, get lots of features out of level 1 to prevent just 1 or 2 levels dip in another class. 2) Less generic subclasses and more specific to certain settings (will not happen, but one can dream). 3) Rules to create a game still balanced around 1 or...

    Epitaph

    After decades of gaming, both DMing and playing, I collected lots of funny “last words” from PCs, some of them mine. So I am curious about yours. Examples include: “How much damage it did do???” “They are just kobolds.” “Open the well!” “No need to check for traps.” “Who cares about this...

    Tell Me About Your Favorite Mechanics

    While I dislike 7th Sea 2E mechanics, I love how Hero Dice work in 1E. Very flavorful and giving a swashbuckling feeling to a swashbuckler game. Also, as many already commented, advantage/disadvantage was one of the truly genial idea of D&D 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Please suggest me some books about DM advices

    Seconded the Angry GM. In his site (https://theangrygm.com, who would guess?), just this year, he started a whole new series to advice you how to be a better GM. I do not agree with everything he writes, but even in the points I disagree, he gives me some stuff to ponder, analyze, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Some thoughts on skills.

    Sorry. I prefer they as an afterthought. See, one of the best parts of 5e design (in my own opinion, of course), is that everything you want to do can be gated to just six scores (the abilities). The player declares anything and DM says, "it seems an use of X ability". Then, the afterthought is...

    D&D General Ed Greenwood Working on Volo's Guide to Ormpur

    I needed to research it too, because from memory it said me nothing. A town in the eastern edge of the Shining Sea.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?

    Planescape was always my second prefered Campaign Setting from the old 2e (Birthright being the first one). I will take this one for sure, but I would like it contains options to game BEFORE the Factol Wars. That ruined the setting for me. Fifteen factions ruling* Sygil was the big point of most...

    RPG Design: How do you build a new world?

    Coincidentally, just yesterday I was reading the Mythic Polynesia book for Mithras, lol.

    RPG Design: How do you build a new world?

    It depends of the campaign... If you pretend to run a game similar to Kingmaker, you do not need a whole world. Just the region that will become the kingdom and, perhaps, know what exists just the other side of the borders. You do not need to know how the things are thousand miles away. If you...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    What about "birthright"? Supposing they does not resurrect the setting with the same name, because there, the word have a very special connotation ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    I personally do not like symmetry where it is not needed. Such as 3e where each evil thing must have a good, anachic, and lawful equivalent. I prefer each class with different progressions. That said, it is not a thing that I hate and prevent me to game. Just a thing I can live with and does not...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    It seems all classes are moving to the same levels to give subclass features. It is not something I agree (unnecessary symmetry), but it does not bother me either.
