Could be worse: I just learned that my father's coming to town to visit through the 4th of July, and should be making it in right as FFXIV's new Dawntrail expansion is releasing... T_T Good thing I'm a filthy MSQ casual and not a Savage raider.

My mother claims to be able to "watch" one show on the TV and another completely different show on her phone at the same time, all while also focusing on a third thing (work/cooking/her dogs/etc.), but I am very much the "one thing at a time" sort. Luckily both will be available as VoDs after...

I think there was also an implication that some of them were transformed into nothics, but I'd need to double-check.

I don't get the impression magic is less prevalent on Oerth than it is on Toril - I'm far from an expert, but I've always seen them as both pretty high magic settings. I think what that passage is saying is that the magic of Oerth has a very different "feel" to it than that of Toril. As I...

I believe it's the technical term for a group of amateur goblin artificers that provide you with unsolicited tech support, whether or not there was anything going wrong before they started. Low CR, but very hard to get out of your equipment once they're dug in.

I think what Reynard is suggesting is that rather than produce a single full-size book, WotC should instead produce two books that each have roughly half the wordcount of a standard 5e hardcover. In other words, a change of business strategy to produce smaller (and presumably cheaper) books...

Have to be sure they've cleared out all the tech gremlins first.

If they're going to say anything on the subject before the PHB releases, the Tuesday stream seems the most likely time to do so, since they're going over character origins. I really hope we get something for mixed-ancestry characters with more mechanical depth than "pick-a-parent", even if it's...

I can see goblins getting the PHB treatment for various reasons, but bringing in the full set of goblinoids seems less likely to me. Orcs fill a kind of visual niche that the '14 PHB only really had through the inclusion of half-orcs (which have now evaporated into the aether, as we all know)...

Honestly, I'd argue they're not really all that different. Warcraft goblins are still "ugly-cute little maniacs", they're just filtered through a culture of mad scientists/engineers and scummy, uber-capitalist businessmen rather than the more typical, D&D-style scattered tribes of raiders living...

I mean, arguably that's what Monsters of the Multiverse was for... It is supposed to still be compatible. Moving goblins into the PHB alongside orcs makes a certain degree of sense, but failing that, I don't think there's much reason to reprint them unless they're adding something to them in...

To be sure. Of the various ideas floated, goblins seem like the most likely to make it in. They're fairly prominent in fiction, they've been shifting toward a less inherently villainous portrayal for years in the same way orcs have, they fill a kind of "visual niche" that isn't really covered by...

I mean, yes, but the intent to have some form of celestial planetouched in the PHB was apparent in the very first playtest UA. It just took them a while work out whether that would be in the form of the ardling or the aasimar, and there was a lengthy gap in the middle where we were left to...

I wouldn't be against goblins making it into the PHB, but if that were going to happen, I expect we'd have heard about it a long time ago.

The video isn't actually available yet - it's scheduled to premier next Tuesday at 7am PST.

Canonically, the Planewalker's Guild set up shop somewhere in the Infinite Staircase after they left Sigil, so at least some of the stair's landings would presumably be large enough to support buildings, or perhaps even entire settlements. So I'd imagine that it'd be an option, if not...

A bit silly, perhaps, but reasonably in character. Kas isn't a perfectly rational actor, he's an evil, duplicitous, backstabbing bastard out for revenge against his former lover partner-in-villainy. Even setting aside the specifics of his plans to usurp Vecna's ritual for himself, Kas would...

Going to disagree a bit - I think there's a bit of confusion over the order of operations. Established terminology aside, I don't get the impression that the "Wizards Three" in this adventure were a pre-existing alliance between Alustriel, Mordenkainen, and Tasha. They may have known (or at...

Ah, Zargon... Always nice to get an ancient baatorian cameo...
