    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #4: "New Barbarian"

    Buy look at how well it turned out. By being on the fence about everything, it creates space for an enpowered DM to run the game as they see fit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter should be called Knight and Monk Should be called Fighter, change my mind

    You're empowered to rename the classes into whatever best fits your game. You are the master of your game table and don't let WOTC tell you "you can't change that"!

    D&D General Defining "New School" Play (+)

    D&D General (SPOILERS for Vecna: Eve of Ruin) Are My Standards Too High for Adventures?

    I've always said EnPublishing puts out great adventure after great adventure. I know that at least one Enworlder was hired to write stuff. And by not being a megacorp, they are free from the never ending greed of endless growth! Isn't that enough to know EnAdventurrs are great?
