    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    I find that the further we get behind, the longer it takes me to resolve anything (I have to reread posts to make sure that I didn't forget anything from the first time that I read them, etc). It actually becomes more work to move slower games forward than it is to move quicker games forward...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) IC

    A cold and misty morning came to those camped under the rocky overhang. Though it had been damp and bitter cold all night long, the group was none the worse for wear as they struck camp to make the last leg of their trek to Howling Crag. The winds that gave the Crag its name blew through, a...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    I think that sounds great.

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    Dr Morgan Wells Morgan returned to Daggerford in something of a worried haze. He'd spent most of the time since he'd seen his fellow Daggerfordians at Blackstaff Tower in Waterdeep. He'd met the seventh Blackstaff herself, Vajra Safahr, who had helped him to find what he was looking for in one...

    Jeremy Crawford Interview: The Monster Manual and More

    I got my wires crossed on who I was responding to. Yeah, there is no reason you should have asked Crawford about it, as we all know the answer. If they change their policy, I am sure that we will hear about it.

    Jeremy Crawford Interview: The Monster Manual and More

    And? How many times should they have to answer, "We don't." when asked "How do you use AI?". Is it just that you don't believe them?

    Wizards of the Coast Is Hiring a D&D Worldbuilder

    They might some of the time, if they were any good!

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    You should at least add Murder at Baldur's Gate - it was almost exactly the same format as Legacy of the Crystal Shard, and significant material from it is used in Decent into Avernus (and Baldur's Gate 3 for that matter). I'm very fond of Vault of the Dracolich, but it was only a Game Day...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    Ah yes, the "lesser, cuter salamander".

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    @Mercurius Any particular reason that you don't list Murder at Baldur's Gate with the 2013 Playtest stuff? It was pretty much the same format as Legacy of Chrystal Shard, and IME easier to get one's hands on than was Dragonspeare Castle (which was only available at Cons, whereas MaBG was sent...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    Hmm... I remember selecting the Grell, and yet there it is. I'll fix it. Anyone know if the "Fire Newt" is also basically Salamander? I also notice that I missed "Skeleton Warrior" which I can't imagine is all that different from one of the skeletons.

    D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    Here's a list of the Fiend Folio and what is in the 2024 MM highlighted GREEN. Aarakocra • Achaierai • Adherer • Aleax • Algoid • Al-mi'raj • Apparition • Assassin bug • Astral searcher • Babbler • Bat, giant • Berbalang • Blindheim • Blood hawk • Bloodworm, giant • Bonesnapper • Booka •...

    Essentially, yes. But it still needs a lot of work. It's not quite there yet.

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Day 1 Errata for Monster Manual

    That's honestly really good for a D&D book, and most of them are a clarity issue (1/d Each) and not a mistake (I read many of those entries and didn't notice it - I assumed that it meant each). It's missing the one we found on another thread, though! (The cultist that has both Mage Armor...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) OOC (Full)

    So... I've never intended this game to stall so soon. Let's get going. Can I get a quick show-of-hands to see who's still here and waiting so that I don't waste time writing posts that won't matter? I suspect that everyone is in, with perhaps the exception or @jmucchiello ? (Feel free and chime...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) IC

    They arrived at the chosen campsite well after dark. Kahru had scouted the rocky overhang multiple times to make sure that it was safe and clear of occupants. Though it was still a mile away across the gorge and surrounded in nightly mists, the Howling Crag could be seen in the distance as...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    I agree entirely. I played 1e first, but I got "serious" about D&D with 2nd, and I've played, sold, and run D&D at least weekly ever since. 5e is what they intended it to be - a "love letter" to all editions, but the result of that is that it "feels" most like 2e. Clearly it has different...

    D&D General Things I like in the new MM

    That is the correct term. They call it WPN (which I aways read as "Weapon" instead of "Wizards Play Network", but you're right that is what it is). We get to sell them as of Feb 4. It's a tiny little perk to put us only a million miles behind Amazon, instead of a million-and-one.

    I apologize

    Man, I feel ya. I've never been more angry, frustrated, and somewhat depressed than I am these days. Every day has something that goes utterly, spectacularly, and needlessly wrong, either in my work or home life, or in the greater world (usually all three). I'm happy to cut you some slack and...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have a Monster Manual. AMA!

    Right, but those are opinions, and probably not errors. I agree with you, though! (Actually, the Mage Armor, I think really is an error, so we've got ONE so far, and a couple that would be "improvements" but we'd have to get WotC on board!)
