    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    These are the people that made an apology for saying that the Hadozee had been slaves. The Hadozee are a fictional race in magical fantasy world that isn't real. They waste time and money on this kind of concern when it's easily resolved by them publishing the content that appeals to the most...

    D&D General Is D&D Survey Feedback Read? [UPDATED!]

    Agree. That's silly. If draconian governments can't keep criticism of them off the internet, neither can a toy and game company.

    D&D General Is D&D Survey Feedback Read? [UPDATED!]

    Here here. I have myself tested content and answered every survey and seen my feedback reflected in the revisions. No company will please everyone. There are too many of us with too wide a range of taste in games for everyone's desires to be fulfilled in One D&D. Even if they gave me literally...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    So, it seems to me that (with all respect to the publishers affected). If you are not publishing and profiting from content, the only effect will be that there will be less, (maybe no) 3rd party books and suppliments available in One D&D. It doesn't mean that you won't be able to play any way...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    Yes, but if no money is paid, there's no cut for them to collect, and nothing to report to them.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    So you were publishing content? When you say you used the content, if that's meaning in your own unpaid, non-commercial gain, they don't care. They just want a cut of MONEY made from the content. If the 3rd party that you mention publishes derived content and is no longer licensed, they may be...

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    So if I'm understanding the general legal opinion correctly (assuming US law). WotC does not have to continue to offer an open license to anyone at all if they don't want to. They can revoke prior offers on 5e and prior editions for the purpose of new 3rd party content. Anyone wanting to do that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Assassin: a simple fix

    I hoped they would play test the Assassin sub-class. With the rules revision it may be better. We'll have to see. Mr. Crawford has stated out loud and in the errata that the first round of combat is the only time that surprise happens. At my table, I may allow it at other times. 1. The...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    So if the results so far and my own vote are any indicator, if they do not want to lose more than half their players, they better not do this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Assassin: a simple fix

    We had a player do an assassin in our game. He enjoyed the character but every encounter included, 'Can I surprise him if I do x?' Jeremy Crawford laid out, in the errata and out loud that it's only in the first round of combat that this happens. In my game though, we allowed it at other times...

    D&D 5E (2024) Feats are going to happen

    WotC is a business, so, naturally, they are going to publish the content that makes the most money. Popular content equals more people buy the book. They will limit the amount of content pages to a book that they can produce for a price gamers will pay. No business can please every customer...

    D&D 5E (2024) Feats are going to happen

    Jeremy Crawford spoke outloud that when things rate 90% or more, fans 'don't just want this, they want exactly this.' The head guy in charge of rules is clearly saying that feats are happening, ASIs are a feat in the playtest. This was done to preserve backward compatibility. If you don't want...

    D&D 5E (2024) what should the wizard's subclasses be?

    They could both be done better. But IMHO a class, (Artificer) is not a duplicate of what I would hope to see. Perhaps the best design fix is for there to be good item creation/crafting rules. Many players enjoyed that complexity in prior Editions and it gave characters a use for large amounts of...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you think of the new rules for preparing spells?

    I would like to keep the simplified number of spells, but I would like to see the language include the ability to prepare that number of spells of up to the level that you can cast, preserving the ability to prepare and potentially up cast more lower level spells. This of course assumes that up...

    D&D 5E (2024) what should the wizard's subclasses be?

    3. The artificer is not in the PHB and is not being updated as far as I know. If it is, making it a full caster would be a major change. If so, then that would work as a subclass of Wizard, but that would be a major change. The artificer mostly has the ability to infuse existing items but I'm...

    D&D 5E (2024) what should the wizard's subclasses be?

    #3 I do not intend artificer. I intend for a wizard with full casting specializing in making permanent items. #4 is not a duplicate. There is no Summoner School in the PHB or elsewhere in official rules that I'm aware of. You may be thinking of PF.

    D&D 5E (2024) what should the wizard's subclasses be?

    My thoughts if there are only going to be 4 in the revised PHB 1. A school specialist; Necromancer, Illusionist and so on. Choosing a school. 2. A war mage. (Revised). 3. An item creation specialist; scrolls, potions, weapons etc. 4. A summoner .

    D&D 5E (2024) What is a warlock/sorcerer without a starting patron/origin?

    You choose your patron at 1st but your pact at 3rd in 5E. They don't need to change that, but maybe change what you get with your patron in some cases to coming at 3rd. As an example, with the Hexblade instead of Hexblade's Curse it could be moved to 3rd level.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    Permanent Large may be too much unless it comes at later levels, but that's why I suggest a feat, but it doesn't really break encounters any more than flight does, and players can already fly with some races. If it is game breaking, limiting it to 10 minute hulk outs won't fix it anymore than 10...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    Yes, and I appreciate their commitment to do that. :) The races though, Goliath and Dragonborn particularly have elements that aren't just an adjustment. Should we just pretend that dragonborn could always fly? It's easily fixed by making winged dragonborn an option just like winged tiefling...
