    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to Be Priced at $29.99

    I'm not entirely sure that the red head/brunette on the left is a dwarf. Looks somewhat halfling in build and eberron has very distinct halflings (boromir mafia types and blade desert dino riding tribal barbarian types). The leather armor and those heavy duty riding gloves kinda lean that way...

    D&D 5E (2024) Can A Spell Caster Out Damage a Martial Consistently?

    The wizard and sorcerer don't have enough high level slots to recklessly spam an effective fireball without eating into their effectiveness over the session... Warlock changes that math in tier3(level 11) & beyond when they are throwing out 3 level 5 fireballs right out of the gate plus an...

    Our Physical Fitness

    Weirdly came across the his under what's new and figured I'd drop in what I've been doing since covid. So far I'm down almost 80 pounds from walking in the pool with water resistance gear from aqua strength and hoping to kick off the last ten or twenty before next year:)

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawbacks to Increasing Monster AC Across the Board?

    I think that you need to explain how anyone capable of playing d&d without "hey guys my 5 y/o is going to be playing with us so I'm going to be helping them with their sheet" is capable of finding "that was my first or attack so I added the first number and this is my second attack so I add the...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    I don't know think I've seen any of the artwork that you are referring to but eberron has some setting specific giant birds. Since I can't remember which was official (dragon hawk & arrow hawk maybe?) & which the community made here is. Link to a couple varieties...

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawbacks to Increasing Monster AC Across the Board?

    You are claiming that there is a higher volume of math needed during a player's turn with the iterative attack penalty... the only way for that to be true is if you are talking about a house rule or failed so badly at reading the printed rules that you have players refusing a single d20 roll...

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawbacks to Increasing Monster AC Across the Board?

    You obviously haven't been following along. The timesink isn't from determining if an attack hits, that comes in the form of pumping the GM to learn if the damage of sale d attack KILLS juggling weapons and shuffling about the map multiple times because 5.5 explicitly defines all of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawbacks to Increasing Monster AC Across the Board?

    Barbie might have said it, but it was never true & neither was any of this hand wringing used to justify approaching a multi player team game like a single player experience with your own supporting cast. You and @Horwath have justified ignoring the extreme timesink each player can force on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawbacks to Increasing Monster AC Across the Board?

    Every time I see someone express this sentiment I feel the desire to comment about the fact that few tables are one gm one player and ask "fun for who?" That's a serious question that deserves an answer and not a rhetorical jab. If I have a table with 4-5 players and three or more are making...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    Could be true, but it was never polled & the complaints posted took the form of what I described

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    I think you could be talking about a few different things but.... It never got polled. I remember not even realizing that they standardized subclass feature levels across the bas classes until Crawford noted that they were going to moving away from that because it didn't inspire joy or...

    And then what? The AI conundrum.

    I think it's a reference to the Most writers are human trope but agree with you. Even with a human author it's very possible for a story like the nature of predators to be written about humans and largely maintain an alien PoV by deciding on a believable alternative to star Trek's rubber...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    Soooo... What exactly is the flood of all this gatekeeping dressed up as outrage over "complaints" & "anger" if not your specific preferences and wants? .

    And then what? The AI conundrum.

    Back in the day we (humanity as a whole) had no freaking clue what it would take to create an AI & there was some significant support for the idea that if you stuffed enough information into something like the jeopardy ai contestant Watson it would suddenly become something greater than it was...

    And then what? The AI conundrum.

    The three laws are fairly trivial to subvert by narrowly defining harm or human to exclude a lot of activities. It's an old game, but the central premise of Star siege is that an ai defined human in such a way that only it's creator fits the mold. In tunnel rat there are several fully sapient...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    I disagree with that sentiment, it has nothing to do with anger. There's a difference between being excited about something and an echo chamber. There are more on the list that I want to be excited about than not, but changing "want to be" into something like a"definitely am" is a thing...

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    There are some id like to be more excited about than others, but I'm skeptical about any of them providing the kinds of gm support that comes with long overdue rules frameworks to realign the baseline away from an endless circular loop of "1: give the players what they want 2: see #1" to...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    It was a number Hasbro used to divide IP I think. For some reason I want to call it "core brands" but not sure. Whatever the term was it determined if the brand got support or not
