    D&D 5E (2014) Official Candlekeep Mysteries Announcement & Info About 'The Canopic Being' Adventure

    I approve of more shorter adventures. Also I think this may be the first time we've had an in-depth description of the library itself, so that's another bonus.

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #7: Ranger

    To sum up the warlord, it's a nonmagical fighter/bard who makes their allies more effective by granting additional attacks or movement, boosting their rolls, penalizing enemies, and restoring HP (or granting temp HP) via superior tactics and morale-boosting.

    D&D 5E (2014) The New D&D Book: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything!

    <Cough> So, any idea what kind of new spells we're looking at in Tasha's? There's a lot of old classics that still haven't made it to 5th.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nobody Is Playing High Level Characters

    I wonder if D&D Beyond's limited support for house rules is limiting the presence of epic-level characters. I suspect DMs and players who like to run such games may be more likely to insist on house rules. My own experience: One of my current campaigns (Neverwinter) started early in 4e and is...

    Let's Talk About THAC0

    Started on it, never liked it, glad it's gone. It's not intuitive for new players.

    New Tariffs On RPGs Printed In China

    I heard that they were buying the molds and bringing them to the US after fulfilling the initial kickstarter orders. Not sure if that's true. Will ask about it on the Reaper Live chat tomorrow night.

    New Tariffs On RPGs Printed In China

    This is going to affect Reaper's next Bones kickstarter too, I'm sure.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think of this Kickstarter page?

    Thirding A Tough More Glass. For the cover art, a party of characters cautiously exploring some ruin full of hidden dangers, displaying their unique talents always piques my curiosity more than static poses

    Vecna v Acererak v Larloch? Who's The Most Powerful Lich?

    Should've included Szass Tam in the question.

    Artist Tony DiTerlizzi Reflects On 25 Years of Planescape

    Four of Tony's signed Planescape prints occupy prominent spots in my gaming room. Would love to see WotC bring him back for work in future planar books.

    Poll of the Week: What's the best gift for your GM?

    Snacks to share if I'm lucky! Everybody did pitch in with me to unlock all the books on D&D Beyond, so there's that.

    Eberron It Is? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

    Well, I don't run Eberron but at least this means they'll finally release an official Artificer.

    What's This Mysterious D&D Book? [UPDATED!]

    Is that Halaster? Special cover for the Undermountain book? Edit: Missed the PHB title on the spine.

    Monsters - older edition more challenging?

    I share your concern with a lot of the stuff in the MM and the first few adventure hardcovers. Judging by the stuff in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, I think the design team has started to remember what made monsters memorable. Just about everything has a unique quirk or two. Reminds me a lot of...

    5e needs a Faiths and Avatars style book

    SCAG had a good "in a nutshell" summary of each god and many had a unique bit of lore that was relevant to characters who worship them that seemed to ground them in the world better than previous takes on the theme. One thing I really don't think we'll see (or want) is stats and avatars and the...
