    WotC D&D's Christopher Perkins Promoted to Creative Director

    My hope is Wyatt, he is the only one that has worked on the game as long, longer even, than Chris and he's definitely got the chops for it and to do it very, very well.

    D&D General Greyhawk Humanocentricism?

    D&D copied it from Anderson with regards to demihumans and humanocentric world view. Gygax wasn't a tolkien fan, the tolkienish elements were added because his players wanted to use them. Gygax was more inspired by Anderson, Fritz Lieber, & Howard with his approach but he was very savvy to add...

    WizKids to Release Baldur's Gate 3 Miniatures

    If only they were painted as good as the images. I was extremely disappointed with the 50thA set after the beautifully done (for mass market) Fizban's, RL, & Theros minis I had purchased.

    D&D 5E (2024) Greyhawk- New Map, Discussion of Changes

    In the World of Greyhawk boxed set the 7 mentioned are given suggested locations by Gary. Castle Greyhawk was always on the maps that I recall because it was on the outskirts of Greyhawk. TOEE it just makes sense because the Village of Homlett and the location of the temple are described in the...

    D&D 5E (2024) A Reintroduction to Greyhawk

    Excited, skeptical and at the same time... I have Lankhmar for DCC so I am ok if it isn't as gritty as 1e Greyhawk plus I can use the optional rules to make a grittier game because I read the DMG.

    New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

    And the tools used pull from AI now so digital artists are easy targets even if they don't intentionally use AI.

    New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

    OH man this is awesome. I love it. While Erol Otus and guys like Stefan Poag and Peter Mullen are my favorite fantasy artists, these guys are really building on Elmore, PArkinson & Easley with a lot of life.

    New Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide Art and Details Revealed

    You are quick to call out AI, there are imperfections in it that show a hand, a human hand, executed that painting. The art looks fantastic and I really like the new PHB so I will be picking this up next month some time or poking my wife to get it for me for XMas.

    D&D General When and where did the idea of Ranger as "wilderness rogue" start?

    1e Ranger was literally "Aragorn Class" and not John Wayne army rangers. They are similar but the Ranger was literally Aragorn, even looking at the level titles where level 3 is Strider.

    D&D General When and where did the idea of Ranger as "wilderness rogue" start?

    Someone probably addressed this but the 1e Ranger had a D8 hit die, starting with 2 at 1st level. Now in 2e the sneaky skills from the Thief were added to the ranger along with 2 weapon fighting, essentially giving them massive damage output very early with 2 attacks per round. The 1e Ranger...

    D&D General D&D Cartoon Characters In WizKids 50th Anniversary Miniatures

    Yeah I bought a box and was very disappointed with them. MY Fizban collection and even Boneyard looked pretty good but these are so sad.
