Its fun, but is lacking proper sailing rules or a good nautical adventure but with a couple of creative additions it can be awesome,

I dont find REH's writing any more racist than that of Tolkien and yet it seems that people convieniently overlook the depictions in Tolkien, celebrating Middlearth as foundational to the genre, when it is much a stereotypical pastiche as Hyborian Age. Not to forgive REH, he was certainly an...

Kithkin are pretty much Brownies so Fey Halfling works for me Elementals = Genasi with shiny hair Do you think Wood Woad would work for Treefolk, in 3e theyre medium sized but they could be given goliath 'large traits' to compensate. Noggles are just goblins with donkey heads arent they? and...

The trailer makes it look like an exciting story, though the Nurse was giving me Clara vibes and if the interstellar song contest is anything like Eurovision its going to be dire!!!

The barbarian scowled as he looked down over the scene, attempting as best he could to assess the relative strength of the giants' inside the courtyard, and the visitors seeking entry at the gates. While they had fared well against Nosra's hill giants and ogres, these five steinjotun seemed of...

Mad Maxx seaside edition?

Diamonds are Forever

BrillIant, thats a great resource and I really like the Factions and your "why join them" tips, your Advice from NPCs section is also inspired. Those plothooks a great too, interesting enough to prompt the PCs but vague enough to become anything you need. Yeah I'm increasingly of the opinion...

So how much detail do you put into the campaign handout? were the merchants all predetermined plothooks, did you predeisgn the factions (eg Arcane Academy) or were they developed with players too?

So how did it compare to other editions of DnD as far back as you remember, was it quicker or slower to progress? more or less complexity burden? was there a learning curve? and how do high level martials fare both against spellcasters and against the challenges of the fantasy world?

I tend to just say Games for the general audience (who usually assume video games or boardgames), but will clarify with "RPGs like DnD" for those who ask.

Haste + Fly + Greater Invisibility = Can't touch this v1 Greater Invisibility + Mirror Image + Blur = Can't touch this v2 Sprit Guardians + Moonbeam + Storm Sphere + = AoE Spam Dominate X Conjure Animals - unlimited minions Polymorph - cast on all your friends Summon X Wall of Force & Web =...

No its not a Hebrew word and is not used in the Torah. It appears once in the New Testament (Gospel of Matthew) and this is where the modern association between Phylactery and Teffilin is derived. However the word existed in Greek long before that single Biblical instance as a term for a...

Eldraines metaplot is the questing beast challenge to become High King of a Chivalric world of Knights and Castles - its classical Arthurian setting that DnD currently lacks (and hasnt really done for a long time) and while the particular iteration of that in MtG is very specific, its only one...

I agree, the Jewish item is a teffillin and afaik phylactery is only used once in the bible, and there its in a derogatory sense of 'religious ostentation'. Phylactery is a greek word for an Amulet or object to safely store an amulet and really outside DnD liches when is it ever used In modern...

listening to crawford et al it seems that they are explicitly making Monster design and PC design different - Monsters can do things that PCs cant, including casting a bonus action and an action spell in the same turn. It makes them more formidable to face and balances action economy etc ...

Lorwyn/Shadowmoor makes sense for DnDs take on Fae in the Feywild/Shadowfell - Domains of Delight/Domains of Dread so yeah, I can see why they did it, even Id have preferred Eldraine A druid focussed on plants! what a weird and innovative idea! :P
