    D&D 5E (2014) MCDM 5e Psionicist “The Talent” open play test is live!

    I applaud the concept but the execution is flawed. The mechanics are super flavorful but punish the player for using his class. The strain concept is strong but the tracks seem arbitrary and crippling to a traditional adventuring party. Strain almost necessitates a 5-minute workday followed by a...

    Spelljammer Spelljammer Miniatures Coming!

    I am not so excited about these minis but excited for the rules that would support the need for these minis. I hope we get a ship-scale combat similar to Wildjammer.

    Spelljammer Monsters of Spelljammer (part 1)

    Neogi are not really similar at all. When they get old, the other neogi begin biting the elderly and injecting enough venom to turn the elder into a mindless bloated host to the next generation of neogi. Other races are only food or slaves. They are a race that makes the illithid look neutral...

    Spelljammer Monsters of Spelljammer (part 1)

    Neogi are every evil condensed in a small spider/moray eel body with Umber Hulk bodyguards. Not much like alien or predator. There are Spelljammer analogs of both though. Spelljammer took a lot from the 70s and 80s manga. Guyver, Mecha, Kaiju all prominently strut around along with Klingon orcs...

    D&D General Vecna and Kas and the Book of Vile Darkness. WotC lore you should know.

    The Whispered One, Lord of the Spider Throne, keeper of secrets. I love me some Vecna and seeing him in a product this year would be fantastic. No mention of Die, Vecna, Die...

    Spelljammer Monsters of Spelljammer (part 1)

    I hope they include the Bionoids and Spirit Warriors. Really the Unhuman wars were a great setting. Giant undead insect mechas and the elven warriors turned into battle monsters that are cast out when the battle is over. I also hope they don't continue the Arcane are behind everything! Very boring.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters of the Multiverse Releases a Day Early

    I was mainly critiquing the use of the 'Disneyfying' angle. Duergar can be a lot of different things. It does sound out of context with the duergar monster entries. How much lore is included in MP:MotM? (not just duergar but overall)

    They Did they name a dwarf Grumpy? Gave them a duergar ennui song?

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't make the game too weird

    The story of Yellow Submarine is not too weird, mainly the visuals, and that it is a musical comedy. Change Blue Meanies to Neogi and put Pepperland on an asteroid or small planet. Treasure Planet is good, but Pirates of Dark Water is better! Jack Kirby Apokolypse or Eternals runs work well...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't make the game too weird

    I agree with DEFCON1. They want a Spelljammer game, they want a Jack Kirby pirate fantasy adventure. Too weird might mean 'too mechanically weird' or too many house rules. All this can be hashed out in Session 0. You are already reaching out to try and get more definitive answers from the...

    Does TSR3 Have Nazi Connections?

    Nope. Put me in the Nazis do not get to be in society unless they fully recant their antisocial ethos. Sometimes you can deplatform. Sometimes you punch them in the head. White Supremacy is a cancer that must be combated at its very whisper. NuTSR can enjoy another bag of sodium crusted members...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters of the Multiverse as Piecemeal content?

    This is a non-issue. It is not new, nor is it a cash grab. "I don't like how other industries have handled a different system" is not an actual concern.

    Spelljammer A look at 30 Spelljammer Minis

    Dark Sun confirmed! (RIP Spelljammer confirmed) Although these images are renders and not actual products. The mix looks good. I admit I am more excited for what 3D sculptors will do for the STL market in regards to ship miniatures for space battles.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    If this were 22 years ago, I would be all for it. Kobolds were goblinoids in my mind back then. The change to being draconic halflings was a shock but made more sense as a design space for the critters. Meepo and Pun-Pun have made dragon kobolds stick in my brain. I don't think I would follow...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragons of Stormwreck Isle: New D&D Starter Set Is Coming This Year

    Interesting, a green dragon in the starter set, a white dragon on the Essentials set, and now a blue dragon in the Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. Maybe a meatier adventure than the previous sets, 1st-10th level possibly.

    TSR I think we’ve finally made it!

    Excellent. A mark of distinction... No doubt Ernie and Juice Lasagna are tittering about how 'triggered' ENWorld is. Although it is free advertising for their product I guess, editing warts and all.

    They can give you ill-tempered mutated sea bass. It's a start.
