I would run an extended playtest with transparent iterations and clear goals for changes. D&DNext was a good way to really show off what D&D could be. I am still mining stuff that was dropped off development. A couple of wish list items: Race becomes lineage Stat bonus moved to class Multiclass...

And they are very cool.

Talespire could be in a consortium with DDB and WotC to make a 3D tabletop. The missing component is who makes the virtual miniatures that will take up much of a cash shop along with tilesets for the map maker. I suppose BouncyRock could be in charge of the in-game assets, but they don't have...

I am surprised they haven't made a mobile RTS game like Rise of Civilizations or Clash of Kings. They are not overly complex and apparently are fantastically profitable. Total War: Dragonlance would be fantastic, but I assume GW and Warhammer would be nervous about market saturation. I would...

Flintlock Fantasy can be done without colonialism. McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy was a fantasy version of the French Revolution. The sequel trilogy did subsequently dive into the effects of colonialism on Fantasy North America, but is not necessary. The main thing is to incorporate the tech...

The survey was successful in getting me to join the official discord. I had not used it at all prior to today. So good for them? Also bring back the fey gnomes! Why wasn't that a question?

Fizban's Folio of the Draconic

I was going to spill the secret but WotC sent Jeremy Crawford and a rabid owlbear to make sure I do not. Jokes on them I have had my rabies and Crawford shot. Obvious future pitch is obvious. It has been promised before, many times. It is a no-brainer to expand D&D.

D&D movie is set in Forgotten Realms specifically Neverwinter.

Spelljammer confirmed. Why do we always try and combine SJ and PS? Why not other classic settings with Spelljammer? Dragonjammer, Spellhawk, Birthjammer...

Carrie? Occultist, Mentalist, but Psychic is the better term for the clairvoyant who can also be telekinetic. Or go WH40K and call it a Psyker

Yes! Open rituals for all characters. Focus magical combatants to be magical combatants, not Master of All Trades. Each pillar of the game should be separated and balanced separately from the others. Exploration should be balanced with exploration, social with social, and combat with combat. The...

Amen Sister! Preach.

I will enter. I doubt I will make the cut to the 10. These sort of contests get me off my rear and write some of the ideas that just fester in my mind. I enjoyed the setting search and will no doubt enjoy this 'DM's Got Talent'. Ideas are a dime a dozen, focusing the idea into something usable...

Spelljammer confirmed!

It's about time. The setting contest that resulted in Eberron was a huge deal. I am very glad they are giving the community a chance to shine.

The new UA for Strixhaven Witherbloom College subclass seems pretty Witchy. Potions, cauldrons, and life/death magic all seem to be in a hedge wizard/ wise woman vein. Throw in Hexblood lineage and you have a more haggish, (not haggis spellcheck)

Woohoo! I have been waiting for WotC design to stretch a bit. This is good. The Colleges are a mix but most are pretty flavorful, the Prismari just fail to live up to the flavor. Also, the necrotic Witherbloom subclass powers read a lot like Defiler magic for Dark Sun. Obviously with some...

Late to this discussion, but thanks to all who have provided historical evidence with citations especially Doug McRae. It is fascinating. It has fudge-all to do with D&D except tangentially. Combat is so removed from reality that injecting facts just muddies the argument. Having firearms do...

There are two arguments going on here. One is what Dark Sun needs to be a complete setting and the other is 5Es very conservative creation of new systems/ classes to expand the breadth of the 5E rule set. I am going to dodge the first point for a bit and address the conservative rule system...
