I see I'm just a liiiittle too late for the violent vs. nonviolent response conversation, so I'll just say this; The reason violent protest is "less" effective is, while not baseless, also not the entire truth. A truly evil force would always build up the notion that nonviolent protest is the...

Just to be clear; I could not care less if they take the lore out back and send it the way of Ol Yeller. I wholeheartedly support efforts to strip the oftentimes harmful presuppositions from individual races as a tool of agency with regards to making each fantasy world meaningfully distinct in...

That's especially bizarre because Volo's has content that doesn't show back up in Monsters of the Multiverse. What are they gonna do with all of those orcs they didn't bring over?

Because they just put out a UA that more or less gave them that as a feature and apparently enough people hated it that they decided to gib it entirely in this release.

They already got rid of that is the issue. They had a perfectly playable race that wasn't even problematic in any of those ways, that just had the ability to borrow things from hammerspace a few times a day. They just made it completely vanilla and meaninglessly unique for basically no reason, I...

God, that's so smart. I'm just gonna rip those background pages out and re-bind the book with a homebrew renown chart for each order. I don't know how I didn't think of that, especially as someone who shills hard for Ravnica and Theros.

The amount of knowledge I have on Dragonlance could fill a thimble, but didn't Raistlin bounce around robe colors on occasion? I'd argue that someone who can turn one way and then redeem themselves another fits the mold of "good black robe and evil white robe". I have no strong feelings of...

That breaks my heart in two. I've never hated a UA feature more than that Moon Sorcerer. The tables were too thick, the paragraphs were overwhelmingly populous, it was a nightmare before they even added formatting and visual polish to it! And that poor pre-revision Kender, I don't know how...

Still not a big fan of free feats from backgrounds, for the simple reason that most of the feats they offer here are incredibly bloated with little benefits all over. I'm also surprised that it seems they took incredibly little input from the survey, besides the Kender being fey-adjacent (but...

I would like to think that these people knew what they were getting themselves into when they sold their rights. Besides, Ed is incredibly laissez-faire with the Realms, otherwise he probably would've piped up 8 years ago when they decided to make his world the main setting for the game to be...

In prior D&D crossovers, Planeswalkers are just used to signify particular creatures or characters of note that have the ability to transcned their plane or whose reach extends well beyond their home plane (such as Mordenkainen, Bahamut, Lolth, and Zariel). It's a much lower bar to clear than...

In anime that's called an isekai, they're very popular. I prefer the faux-intellectual ones where people just stand around and muse on the blurring of reality and fantasy using the game as digital escapist medium (like .hack). Most of the other ones out there either lean into the concept without...

Demonstrably false. They just released an art deco 1920's mafia set, and I have such a mighty need for it to be turned into a D&D book.

That won't be an issue, the Power Rangers one in particular was incredibly rough and didn't read well. I hear the G.I. Joe one fares a bit better, but the PR one didn't even have stats for NPCs! Plus it only really covered the first few seasons lore-wise, which isn't surprising since those are...

I'm the only person at the table who's done it twice, and I did it on opposite sides of the screen both times. Everyone else had a single go-around. This is purely from the standpoint of people who played through it once, and thus far are enjoying our romp through the area with a fresh set of...

As someone who's played and run Lost Mine, is running Dragon of Icespire Peak currently, and every player in that campaign also having already played Lost Mine - Incredibly hard disagree. It's not even close how much more enjoyable DoIP is. Plus, that doesn't really change my statement - The...

I don't know how familiar you are with Paizo, but most of their APs go that way, albeit with different backdrops and starting events, as well as some ramping up at drastically different rates. And to be fair, WoTC hasn't really been doing that recently. The adventure anthologies aside (which...

I doubt they made an entirely new version of their system just to turn around and release 5e conversions of everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if their long-term plan wasn't to continue to capitalize on the very same licensing that allowed them to branch off of WoTC in the first place...

Maybe Goodman Games will use the leverage and goodwill they've generated from the classic adventures they've published to ask them for the ability to publish some of those Dragon APs.
