    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    For evaluating the organization of the physical 24 MM people who are not using a physical MM at all are not really relevant. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Except for the different individual types of chaos exemplar Slaadi (and other members of less prominent groups) who should not. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Right, the extra step and page flipping instead of being there at "Dragon." Sure, as long as you remember these lists of new primary descriptors or look them up again in the supplemental appendix. The metals being Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold, Silver is a bit idiosyncratic. Remembering and...

    ToV Skill challenges from Tales of the Valiant

    I was not aware there were skill challenges in a 5e-ish book, thanks for the heads up. :) 4e skill challenges were a great concept that had description and implementation issues early on. Having them in products now after years of being able to use and improve on the 4e base should be useful.

    RPG Evolution: Eat, Kill, Love

    No, its easy to argue. :) Lizardfolk are cannibals and eat other sapient humanoids. Many consider cannibalism wrong and so would condemn this aspect of lizardfolk instead of using it as justification to go cannibal as well. Same thing for earlier edition orcs. Also most things we eat do not...

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Right, but for new DMs who first see Black Dragon reading through the MM instead of 2014 style Dragon Black entries they get no 14 style general dragon entry talking about dragons in D&D in general and chromatic versus metallic and the range of primary descriptors. So seeing Black Dragon they...

    RPG Evolution: Problems with the Staff

    The Quiver of Ehlonna/Efficient Quiver has been the key to carrying such things since 1e Unearthed Arcana, and more so in the 3e era when it was a cheap easy to buy or make magic item and I saw tons of characters with them whether for arrows and wands or staves and spears. Efficient Quiver...

    Undead Origins

    The Shaman's Hanbook 3.0 Undead, Undead Creature: Spirit masters also often delve into the secrets of creating and commanding the undead, which does little to endear them to their fellows.

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

    Under Illefarn was one of the first 1e FR books, not 2e after the 1e FR campaign setting came out. It is great, it gives a little mini setting and a flavor to the Forgotten Realms with a D&Dized Tolkien feel of its lost dwarven kingdom.

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

    The Dragon CD archive (issues 1-250 plus the TSRs). I still use it fairly regularly and find the search function to go across all the issues in the collection really useful. I have a couple dozen of these in hardcopy inherited from friends when they were downsizing their collections but I find...

    Undead Origins

    The Avatar's Handbook 3.0 Uncalled: Most sentient creatures die before accomplishing everything they set out to do in life. Typically, the trivial unresolved issues, unfulfilled quests, and unpursued goals cause the dead creature’s soul no unrest. Occasionally, however, a good creature is slain...

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    I found it. Dark Dungeons 4th edition. The 475 page PDF is free (the hardcover is over $60 :)).
