Its pretty clear that WotC will need to do multiple versions of the 5E Dark Sun to satisfy both old and new fans. I suggest at least the following: 1) Dark Sun OG Edition Literally just a reprint of the 2E rules with an appendix on how to covert 5E characters to work with 2E. Nevertheless at...

So to be clear when you said "many illustrations" you mean just the two from G3? Weren't you just pointing out how we shouldn't "single source" arguments about the origin of drow? I agree those illustrations are questionable. But they are also inconsistent with the descriptions of drow in...

Do you have a source for this? All the depictions of the Drow from the "D-series" show them with long, straight, pure white hair as well a true black skin tone (the "licorice" of the deCamp/Pratt reference) as opposed to anything resembling an African or African-American color skin. The linked...

No because attacking the fighter does not provoke an AoO unless you have the Sentinel feat. Even with Sentinel you need to be to be within 5' not just within reach of the creature making the triggering attack.

Sure you COULD do it - but to what end? If your beef is just a specific character concept didn't work out optimal for you then it is FAR easier to just let druids use INT as their caster stat than it is to tear out one of the core elements of the game. Attributes aren't a necessary part of...

In terms of adventures I agree both the Forgotten Forge and Shadows of the Last War work really well as an intro to Eberron. The last two in that series are fine, but skip-able if you don't want it to feel like an adventure path. Steel Shadows by Keith Baker from Dungeon#115 (still available...

Oh, I love David Harbor. Just sayin' its a show that revolves around a group of kids playing D&D - there was an official D&D tie in product and everything. So did they intentionally skip the obvious choices or was Harbour the only one one that would do it? Finn Wolfhard: "If I can't be the DM...

They got someone from the Stranger Things cast and its....Sheriff Hopper????

The only person who stands to benefit from this is Joss Wheadon, who no longer gets blamed for destroying the masterpiece that lived in the imaginations of Snyder fanboys.

Personally I'd love to see a Greyhawk setting book along the lines of the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer that just gives setting info without any crunch. Greyhawk is built around the same core assumptions as the base rules so there is no real need for a bunch of Greyhawk-specific rules. Scarlet...

In an exploration style campaign you are probably only going to have one encounter per game day. So if you fully recharge all your resources every game day, it just makes every encounter a nova fest. Which some people are fine with. But if you want to retain the "resource management" aspect...

I have also been thinking about using the longer rests option for a hexcrawl campaign I am working on. I hadn't considered the spell duration issue, so thanks for raising it. To me the biggest potential issue is making sure to balance single encounter days with some multi-encounter days (or...

If you don't care about class balance, then why do you care if players want to tweak their classes to be more powerful? Let the beastmaster ranger have a T. Rex pet at 1st level if that makes him happy. After all, some class has to be the best right? If the other players complain you can...

Any time PCs endure physical hardship they need to make a Con check. If they fail they gain a "fatigue point." When they endure emotional trauma they need to make a Wis check and gain a "despair point" if they fail. Fatigue points give a penalty to any Str, Dex and Con checks, despair points...

I've had good results using random generators as part of prep rather than on the fly. As @Reynard states, they are a great way to break out of a creative rut. When I find myself creating yet another goblin cave or tomb full of undead I have turned to random tables to come up with some fresh...

I am a player in a campaign that uses week long rests now. I was skeptical when the game first started, but it has worked amazingly well. This particular campaign makes heavy use of what is sometimes called "fronts" - factions with an agenda that progresses independent of the PCs. Week long...

I have played online using both Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 plus Discord for voice chat. Online play isn't too different from IRL play. There are only a couple of differences that stand out to me. First, it is more focused on maps because that is what everyone is staring at for most of the...

Fantasy Grounds is my favorite BUT Roll20 is excellent also and may be better for your group if you are just looking for a short-term solution. (I haven't used any of the others) Fantasy Grounds has a easier to use interface IMO. It has more stuff automated (buffs, debuffs, conditions...

While its great to build around a theme, I do think you have limited yourself a great deal by focusing on direct damage and movement spells. Spells like Hypnotic Pattern, Banishment, Polymorph, and Hold Monster can really turn the tide of a fight. If you want to keep with your theme you can...
