    Second Dungeons & Dragons Product for Fall 2018: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    I'm actually pleased by this. Dragon Heist's concept seemed kind of meh to me, but taken in conjunction with this one, I see the purpose behind it and I've changed my position. I remember the Undermountain boxed set and being a bit overwhelmed by the size of it. But I am really liking the...

    Let's compile errors we have found in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    You mean, like they did with Spelljammer way, way back in the late 80's/90's? Hmmmmmm....

    Let's compile errors we have found in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    My goodness...that's a great deal of hyperbole in there. There is a simple solution to your (probably unjustified) complaint.... If you don't like it, don't use it! It's amazing how D&D offers you the flexibility to make a simple adjustment if you don't like how something works. Even better...

    DDAL Jasper runs Tomb of Annihilation. season 7

    My party just arrived in Omu after 8 sessions. They didn't stay in Nyanzaru very long and took Inete as their guide. They stopped at Camp Righteous and Camp Vengeance along the way (they took a canoe down), then went straight for the Aldani Basin. They went ahead and climbed M'bala to get the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Wizard and Cleric Subclasses (Level 1 to 10)

    From personal experience, I will agree with everyone here re: the Divination wizard. Portent is just a fun ability all around. While the Clerics mentioned are good all around, I've found that the Grave domain cleric is extremely satisfying to play. Their ability to keep people in the action...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM what spell / ability do you find most annoying?

    I did the exact same thing...tied it in to the Warlock's infernal patron who wanted the Warlock to do more and more evil things. The Warlock decided to MC into a bard and they placed the imp into a demonic prison to keep it from reporting back to the Warlock's patron. The patron (and the imp)...

    Jessica Jones [spoilers allowed]

    Ditto...I'm about 4 episodes in. I thought that they were a little heavy handed with the fore-shadowing for the "villain." I also find it a bit funnier than the first season, but maybe that's just my appreciation for black humor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are there too darn many spellcasters?

    Unearthed Arcana Spores, Brutes, and Inventors: Unearthed Arcana Brings You Three New Subclasses

    Now that you've mentioned it, I think this might be a good solution. I like the idea of having one or two cohesively themed options for subclasses; at a level where your subclass receives a feature, you can choose either to choose the Brute's extra damage or the Champion's improved critical...

    Unearthed Arcana Spores, Brutes, and Inventors: Unearthed Arcana Brings You Three New Subclasses

    I really want to like the Spore Druid; I love the idea of a shape-shifterless Druid or even an evil themed druid...but the implementation is a bit meh. Their spore aura is weak and is commonly resisted. Their replacement to shapeshifting is an ability that grants temp HP and extra damage, but no...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your #1 wish from the D&D community in 2018?

    D&D 5E (2014) Running D&D 5e for Levels 10+

    Just finished my Out of the Abyss campaign...the party ended at 18th level after progressing past Demogorgon and being sucked into the Abyss and into Lolth's demonwebs. What I learned from this experience: It is difficult to challenge high level characters with monsters and mobs straight out...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    Yes, I thought he was awesome, too. Which is why such an ignoble death was so anti-climatic.

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    That's precisely my point. Here, they have the new big bad...he's an obvious force user. He was able to turn Ben Solo and several of his friends away from Luke's training...he was able to gather the imperial remnant and turn them into the First Order. No one knows anything about him, other than...

    We saw a Star War! Last Jedi spoiler thread

    I felt that there were some narrative choices that left me very disappointed, but I liked it overall. Better than all of the prequels, but not as good as A New Hope or Empire. My issues, in no particular order: Did anyone else feel that Snoke's death was a bit anti-climatic. I mean, they built...

    Dammit!!!! If only I was a few minutes earlier, I could have saved this subclass from the grave.
