Most seasons have some good adventures and some almost unplayable ones. My favourite as a DM is Storm King's Thunder: most adventures are fun without needing adjustments, and the Parnast bunch make a solid campaign when played together (I haven't played the other tiers). I doesn't remember the...

I like it, but I hope additional classes for the cleric and the wizard are released soon. Both are so attached to the concepts of domains and schools of magic that it's weird creating a cleric of Mystra, for example, and having to fit it in some of these four domains.

I'm not that familiar with old Darlene's map. How much have changed?

And in the present.

Dreadful name, but I get where they're going with it. Also, I think the Dreadwolf will not be the only antagonist, maybe not even the "main one" by the end of the game.

I think it's the exactly opposite, the DMG has the best alternate and the worst standard, while the MM is the best standard and the worst alternate. Taste is funny. I'm also going with the alts.

I really wish it was Tiamat, which monster is better for a Dungeons & Dragons cover than the biggest evil dragon of them all?

Alternate cover dropped: source: Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual alt cover features Baldur’s Gate 3 star - Dexerto

7e font was way better than 8e!

MM is incredible! It's dynamic, have iconic characters of new and old and a great assortment of iconic monsters. It's otherwordly and full of action, everything a monster manual cover should be

My favourite of the three basic covers! Go for the eyes, Boo!

I wouldn't say it's a "right" amount, and I think 12 is a good number, but I would cut it to eight if I had so change something: Fighter, Cleric, Magic-User, Rogue, Paladin, Bard, Druid and Monk. It covers almost any archetype and each class is distinct enough from others. (maybe the paladin can...

The owlbear and the beholder. Both are originally from D&D, well known enough to be recognizable by most players and some non-players, and not widespread enough to be just "generic fantasy". Others that almost hit that bar for me are the displacer beast (it's not originally D&D) and the mimic...

Trying again, but now considering fantasy firearms are as deadly as fantasy blades are in relation to real blades. I would still deemphasize melee combat and armors for flavor. Maybe "kevlar proficience" could give you +2 armor class and the other points you gain from positioning and a bulkier...

I was thinking more "if a couple of shots hit you you can't fight properly" but the same could be said about being hit by a sword, so I think you're right.

I like the idea, but a lot of mechanics related to combat would need a gargantuan overhaul. Like it happened in real work, once you introduce modern firearms the whole system that existed before falls apart. The closest thing we have to firearms in D&D is the spell disentegrate. Dexterity saving...

Honestly, I think this dissonance is already reconciled. While I see how the original paladin can be related to crusaders (they are inspired by the fantasy novel Three Hearts and Three Lions, more on that later) I don't think the crusader roots remain in their current incarnation. Which points...

Two, the wizards and the others. Jokes apart, I think 5e hit the right spot in "one more and it would fall apart eventually", and for me the artificer is that "one too much". For the minimum amount I would say four classes at least .

I use anydice.com, but a table would be useful indeed. If it doesn't exist yet maybe I'll compile one, post on my blog and share it here
