    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    It's all very tricky. None of us are perfect, and leading with humility, grace, and good intentions are what matter. You seem to be going about it right. In another thread I responded to Micah Sweet about the goal of D&D, and I think the goal of the game's makers is to be as big tent as...

    D&D General A Gnome and a Halfling have a Baby. What is it?

    Tauriel and Kíli would beg to differ! ;P

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Monk"

    You might even call them a Bully McGuire!

    D&D General A Gnome and a Halfling have a Baby. What is it?

    That means you can't have Dwelves though! In my personal setting, Gnomes are a hodgepodge species between Halflings, Elves, and Dwarves. And to distinguish Halflings from small sized Humans, Halflings are more related to Orcs in my setting – the agrarian pigs to the Orcs' wild boar, if you were.

    D&D 5E (2024) Standard vs Alternate covers (+)

    The 5e spines already don't line up correctly with their flame lengths…

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    This. Magic isn't common in the setting. The PCs aren't common either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development"

    Never underestimate the ability of developers to get games running on weaker hardware. I've seen amazing tech demos of a single coder in his spare time getting Super Mario 64 to run on Game Boy Advance hardware. Heck, somehow they got Xenoblade and DK Country Returns – both Wii games – running...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rare Dragonborn

    They're more like Dragons of the Elemental Chaos, but in 5e with the elements being just as much related to the Prime Material as they are to the Inner Planes, I could totally see Primal Dragonborn. I just think if you're going to do Catastrophic Dragons, the Chromatics sort of move into the...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Sorcerer"

    That's probably why it went away – to consolidate with the new expanded metamagic (and letting you pick more metamagic too).

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    College of Swords after 10th however will have good combat spells. But only trickling in slowly. They're more of a combat medic / lazylord in that case, but College of Swords wants to be a Bravura Warlord.

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    I like how Bloomburrow is using "Folk" for each of its 10 archetypal dual-colour types of animals, hereafter listed in WUBRG or Ravnica Guild order: Birdfolk, Ratfolk, Lizardfolk, Raccoonfolk, Rabbitfolk, Batfolk, Otterfolk, Squirrelfolk, Mousefolk, and Frogfolk. Presumably other Folk exist...

    D&D 5E (2014) Artificer Fighter subclass? [+]

    So, Arcane Archer?

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    Yeah I can say it even if you don't agree with me… I think they could definitely add more dials but I really like this additional tactical dial. Not every Fullcaster has as much options paralysis as Wizards do, either. And the toys I listed were just the ones held in common by one or more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rare Dragonborn

    4e and Fizban dragon variants were interesting and I'd lean into those for rare Dragonborn. Chromatic Dragons – Purple, Brown, Grey Metallic Dragons – Mithral, Orichalcum, Mercury, Iron, Steel, Cobalt Catastrophic Dragons – Avalanche, Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Typhoon, Volcanic, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development"

    Us Zelda fans are feeling similar re: Tears of the Kingdom. Though we know when the next Zelda game is coming, not the next AAA Zelda title…

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    I think martials have a lot of toys now: Extra Attack, Fighting Style, Weapon Mastery, Superiority Dice Maneuvers. Even Monks have gone the opposite direction from some other classes – nearly everything that was magical about them has now become a martial artist ability based around their...

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    The monsters aren't necessarily small.

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    And then you get stuck in that form when you depart again for the Star Wars Galaxy and we've got our ol' buddy Jax!

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #3: "New Paladin"

    That's fine. I like interacting with you too, Micah. We just might not agree about the direction of the game. :/
