    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    A friend of mines 16 year old daughter absorbs books. Like actually reads, not audiobooks. I just listen to audiobooks now-a-days. Still listen to new Drizzt books as they come out

    D&D General What house-rules or techniques do you use to make 5e grittier?

    Nope. That’s what magic is for. Uncurse them or cart them back to town and pay a caster to fix it.

    D&D General What house-rules or techniques do you use to make 5e grittier?

    Remove multi saves. Like Flesh to Stone, one save failed and you are stone Remove Death Saves. Use like -4 is death. Bleeding at -1 per round when below 0 Cut HP by like a third or half. Do it for the monsters as well.

    “. no longer are the items the PCs get uniquely in the control of the DM,” DM: “LOL.”

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    Im actually surprised they haven't found some way to make a deal with Crit Role and make Exandria the flagship D&D setting. Yeah that would require ownership stuff WotC and Crit Role doesnt want to deal with so have to stick with changing Faerun and everything else.

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    Just comes off an more hominization of the settings. Everything samey. From Dragonlance to Ravenloft to Greyhawk. I honestly can't wait to the modern version of Dark Sun. If you thought the GH Scarlet Brotherhood to Order was a weird change... just wait. I still can't get passed Solomnic...

    Speaking of Strahd I still love when Soth popped up and Strahrd was “Hey bud, let me help you out so you can get the heck up out my house ASAP.”

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    For myself, it's been done over and over. Heck going to dinner is in the original module. Also the party is trying to hard to subvert a trope. Orc Wizard! Drow Barbarian! Tiefling Paladin. Luckily it keeps the tiefling bitter so woo tropes! Oh and of course everyone loves Jarnathan so...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    I do remember all the happy times and smiles in Hunger Games. Like when her friends and family were killed by a dictator. And she was forced to kill other teens to survive in death matches. Good times.

    D&D 5E (2024) DM Tracking Sheets

    I really hate the cutesy art. I don’t know why WorC couldn’t not do that. After seeing the new Ravenloft novel art though, I get it.

    Lol at that modern D&D cover for a Ravenloft book. Perfect and in line with everything else. Even Ravenloft can’t not be happy adventures being happy.

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    Speaking of Dark Sun, as popular as Fallout is and the Fallout tv show, I'd be surprised if WotC didn't try to get some of that post-apoc setting dollars soon-ish. Hopefully not just as a 20 page surface lore followed by the rest of the book as an adventure (see most WotC adventures not set in...

    Rules Cyclopedia. It's still the best one and done official D&D product to exist IMO

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    My little 2 cents: 5E is bloated. That doesn't mean it's not fun just that it over-complicated. Sure it's not 3E bloated but hey what is? Try teaching a new player 5E and Shadowdark and see which one is easier to learn and play the fastest. Saying that, you will always have an easier time...
