    D&D General Todd Kenreck Let Go from WotC

    Just a note, he spoke about AI again in March. So it's definitely on his mind.

    Nimble 5e

    I checked in on this because I was curious and happen to hang in the Discords where the devs do:

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    I wonder how the DCC version compares. I can't help but wonder if it's "like the original, but better!" I know the DCC Lankhmar adventures are pretty well-regarded, but I never looked at the city info.

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    Sounds like a great recommendation, I'll have to check it out. What really stands out?

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    No, but you implied it. This whole thing is such a PITA to keep track of, so I ask without any irony or sarcasm: what things has Goodman said that been proven false?

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Why do you think he’s lying?

    General DCC RPG thread

    One could also look at it as a balancing factor, to give some detriment to what is otherwise the best armor. But it's a bit of a heavy penalty.. donno.

    How do you handle jewelry and valuable art as a GM?

    Appreciate this share! One of my favorites for finding a hoard of treasure is Frog God's The Mother of All Treasure Tables. As for various art pieces like paintings, sculpture, etc. I keep it relatively simple while maintaining some level of verisimilitude: if the piece is worth a lot, they...

    D&D General Rangers should be built on a primary and secondary stat

    Yeah using dex for hit AND damage with finesse weapons was definitely an early version of it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Any ideas for Avatar of Bane? Lvl 10 PCs?

    Did you give it legendaries, or was it a RAW death knight? I can see a RAW death knight getting murk'd by 6 PCs lvl9. 6 PCs is a lot.

    D&D General Rangers should be built on a primary and secondary stat

    "Make weapon attacks with your spellcasting stat" was one of the worst directions to head with 5e IMO. IIRC it started with Hexblade in Xanathar's, and spread from there throughout the design space.

    D&D General Categories of foes

    For inspiration, you can always look at 3.Xe's creature types and subtypes... they had more creature types/subtypes than 5e has. I often look to 3e for inspiration and guidance when I look for stuff like that (deity domains for example- so many domains!).

    D&D 5E (2024) Anyone else surprised they didn't do a Forgotten Realms Feats, Spells, and Circle Casting UA?

    The designers were on there often enough as well. I remember when Star Wars Saga Edition was alive and kicking, you could get some very interesting convos there with said designers, learn a lot of reasoning etc behind design choices. Shame it's all gone now :(

    D&D General Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition Is Coming in July.

    Mask of the Betrayer is widely renowned, you can google some reviews for it but it's very creative, has some stronghold stuff in it, great characters, etc.

    D&D 5E (2024) Any ideas for Avatar of Bane? Lvl 10 PCs?

    Level 10 PCs... you're probably looking at, what, something CR 17-20? Maybe lower the numbers a tad on and reskin the A5E Solar Counselor? It has a lot of I COMMAND THEE powers. It also has some Legendaries and it's an Elite. Elites in A5E are supposed to count as two monsters of their CR. I'd...
