I mean, it's gonna take almost a year to come out...I can just shave a few bucks off my paychecks and save up for it. Or I could skip eating for that week. My birthday is also that week...I'm tempted either which way. I really wanted to run a ocean-based campaign and eventually giving them a...

I've never been able to get into the mentality of using music for atmosphere in D&D games. I prefer using minis and making terrain to use with my players infinitely more. For whatever reason just listening to music doesn't usually do enough to set the scene or immerse me, as player or DM.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a huge reveal because Mordenkainen's stats have been privvy to a select few and never completely released by anyone until now, right? I mean, besides all the post-TSR releases that had stats for him where they were more or less made up like in the Epic Level...

That demogorgon was about right for its price point - it's as big as the case incentive minis they've been making for the WizKids figures and the crate it came in cost about $50, which is around the resale value of those large minis right now. I just really didn't want to have to buy, build...

I bought the full set of these off Amazon when they came out. Only cost me $50 for three of them so I figured it'd be worth it. I've used two of the three sets (my group just doesn't dungeon crawl often so I still have the third box shrink-wrapped). The City set is definitely the best, because I...

Especially useful for me since my current campaign revolves around Yugoloths taking over the scraps of a planet that was devastated because it served as a battlefield in the Blood War. I'm hoping for a few more special magic items like how they detailed the Illithid crafted weapons in Volo's.

I don't know if you were ever given an answer, but they mentioned both adventures would have extra content in them to fill in ambiguous rooms that were left untouched in the original, so as to make the adventures fuller. Chances are that B1's additions are probably included in its pagecount and...

Struck up a conversation with her on Twitter since I'm aspiring to become a game designer and she mentioned that she does have game design experience. Seven years' worth to be exact. I think we're in good hands here.

Good choice moving away from that Johnson person, those Titans movies were dreck. I'm glad they went with Manganelio, he's a good D&D player, good actor, and he's reliable for the brand thus far as Arkhan the Cruel. Choice of director is still leaving a bad taste in my mouth given his past work...

Should be four books - they don't normally count accessories in release slots like that, they just come out as they're ready. Tomb of Annihilation's dice were announced in tandem with the adventure back in June, it's likely that there's probably all sorts of random side-products plan, least of...

I'm fairly certain Labyrinth turned into Tales from the Yawning Portal actually, and Dust was Tomb of Annihilation (Because dust is what a sphere of annihilation turns you into). Midway was most definitely Xanathar's Guide (a lot of the surveys from the UAs leading up to it were titled...

Perhaps it would help to think about it in the context of a zealous force of good. Imagine a celestial being warring against evil and needing someone to dedicate themselves, heart and soul, to the cause. Instead of a cleric, who works for their god with the understanding that they're being...

I think there's a bit of pack of context there. I imagine it's theater one the mind, but the index card itself contains relevant information on it as well as a picture. The players and monsters still have their own standees, but the battle scene illustration is meant to send as the backdrop...

No. Your rest is done after 8 hours. Most creatures need to spend at least 6 hours sleeping, and have 2 hours to do something that they can do while seated. Elves only have to spend 4 hours "sleeping" in meditation, and can use 4 hours to do something simple while seated.

Still not in love with the ruling on Lucky. I think it should parse advantage/disadvantage first, then let you use a luck point, so that you're not spending a point on what could be a crapshoot by rolling low 3 times. It might not happen often with 3d20 but it's still gonna happen, and the...

If you're interested in keeping up to date with the latest mini reveals from the upcoming Tomb of Annihilation set, I suggest using http://www.minisgallery.com. They update the gallery whenever there's new minis released, and some of these new ones are beautiful. Acererak has a trail of purple...

I think an article on D&D's influence on the very first Final Fantasy game would be a good read. The game even goes so far as to use the Vancian spell system, it's that faithful.

Hmm, I guess it makes sense that the book was codenamed 'Dust' since that's what spheres of annihilation turn you into. I'm willing to put my eggs in this basket, if only because I'm not that big of a fan of Dark Sun anyways. I've been personally very thirsty for Undermountain content since the...

Please do, WoTC. This is nothing like the Favored Soul I know and love. The one they originally made way back when they mad the article on the spell-less ranger was perfect, and embodied the best aspects of the class. It was also a perfectly viable and very good theurge subclass, unlike the new...

Battle mat is a given at some point. The next miniature release is a new 6-figure starter pack, branded the Epic Level Starter Set. I doubt it'll actually have anything to do with 20+ play but the product description I've seen kicking around mentions a large grided battle mat included with the...
