Love that piece. Who was the artist if I may ask?

This. The art itself is mostly really, really good. It's some of the depictions and themes that I have issue with. I don't mind some whimsy, but so far the art has been more about the whimsy, less about adventuring in dangerous places battling evil monsters. At least the PHB weighs heavily this...

Not a fan of this artwork. The artwork in the PHB, while quality-wise fine, just conveys this "happy-go luck, everyone is having fun" vibe. Too many goofy scenes of smiling/laughing PCs, like adventuring is just a big party. Art-wise, my preference is for black and white ink (like Sutherland's...

They did say that the chapter on Greyhawk will include suggestions on where players could establish bastions, so definitely a possibility.

For those interested, here's a brief summary of the 2024 crafting rules for healing potions and scrolls: Potion of Healing: Proficiency and use of Herbalism Kit, 25 gp raw materials, 8 hours of work. Scrolls: Proficiency and use of Calligrapher's Tools, must have spell prepared each day taken...

The 2024 PHB has crafting rules for healing potions and scrolls. Chris Perkins said the DMG will expand upon those. He was a little vague on the specifics, like will they cover every type/category of magic items (I assume yes).

Sorry, mostly chapters 1-3. That was at the end of the video so didn’t make my post.

Yep, that's my assumption too. And since I was trying to type while watching, I may have missed that bit. Makes sense that it's the player controlling the hirelings on the Bastion Turn.

While that’s certainly how I’d run it, they did use the term “Bastion Turn” in the video. We shall see soon enough!

Yeah, had the same thought (no pun intended). It honestly sounds a little video gamey to me. I really like the concept of Bastions/Strongholds, but question the implementation. Will reserve judgment until I can read the actual mechanics on how it works.

Yeah, the video glossed over it. It was definitely emphasizing that this book should appeal to beginners. They did say it included expanded rules for crafting magic items however.

A quick summary after watching 2/3 of the video: 1. Adventures. Will include 5 short "adventures", most are about a 1/2 page. 2. Greyhawk. Greyhawk treatment similar to the original Gazetteer. Focuses first on the City, then describes the wider world, references adventure sites. Also...

Here's a link to the video:

Jack pivoted quickly to counter the attacking giant, seeking a weak point in its defenses with The Knife. He then jumped out of it's reach and moved further into room, looking to engage the smaller giants. Jack attacks HG2 with his dagger, then uses a bonus action to disengage and move to...

Just watched E7. Continue to love how they portray Sauron and his subtle use of manipulation and power. Was very cool seeing how he was also controlling the guards (and who knows who else). The cruelty was deep, including having Celembrimbor shove his assistant off the wall. Ooof.

Is it just me, or have the pop up ads on mobile recently gotten way more obnoxious? Like obscuring when I’m trying to write a post.

Finally had a chance to sit down with the PHB today. Just an initial scan to get a feel for the layout, usability, and changes. Mostly I like the layout. What I really DO NOT LIKE how they stuck the spell lists with the class write ups. I mean, it’s fine to put them there, but would it have...
