    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock spell poll.

    Where is the "A class that should not exist and should be combined with the sorcerer to give them Pact Magic for spellcasting, and Metamagic/invocations all fueled by sorcery points" option of the poll?

    Dragonlance Has anyone incorporated Heroes of Krynn boardgame into their Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign

    I have not used the game as of yet, though the wife, I, and a few of the other players in our group have tried the game out and plan to implement it as possible for our dragonlance campaign. We're not running SotDQ though. I'm doing an Age of Mortals game. My current plan is to use the game as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Heavy Armor Master VS higher Constitution

    So personally I'd honestly suggest a different route that is less optimized: Take shadow touched as early as possible because honestly out of all of those build options the only thing that is even remotely "Raven Queen" themed is that feat. Your table may vary, but for many tables level 11 is a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Pulse check on 1D&D excitement level

    Am I excited for the mechanics of the game? Yes. Will Wizards ever get a single dime of my money ever again? Unclear and unlikely. I never forgot who they were from 4e. The latest OGL fiasco is just a reminder and confirmation that my memory and attitude was not misplaced.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    But are the specific formulas covered? I.e. abilities that grant an ability mod or a flat bonus to AC? Abilities that have "proficiency uses per short or long rest"? Hell the entire concept of abilities that can be used x times rest period? Or adding your ability modifier to abilities? What...

    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    That's exacarly what people were saying about paid horse armor dlc in gaming and now look where we are, lootbox laden microtransactions and live service hellscapes all around. Before that? It was said the same about large department stores and grocery chains. Now a days? Countless small...

    Has anyone cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription as a protests over the OGL?

    I have not, but that is only because I only have a dndbeyond account because they required me to make one in order to fill out their playtest surveys (something which I've already criticized In literally every single playtest survey I've ever filled out). I have not and will not EVER have any...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is stoneskin underpowered?

    See you say that, but in my experience Dominate person tends to be lack luster due to it's "save or wasted action" aspect, particularly when doing an ongoing aoe effect or something that affects multiple party members is more reliable. Your milage may vary and it helps if a monster has legendary...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    And personally I think you are not weary enough. Or perhaps have far more faith in a handful of out of touch executives to not make shortsighted decisions in pursuit of higher profit margins and the delusions of infinite growth... ya know, like every other corporation out there? But hey, when...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    Most of the lingering hatred stems from how they handled the digital products from 4th Edition, which were largely broken, proprietary, and downright horrific to use, despite charging a subscription fee. And because Wizards didn't want competition they refuses to allow any others to get licenses...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    $0 monthly and this is a hill I will die on. I am one of those "whales" that Wizards is wanting to exploit. Tabletop games are one of my biggest hobbies and I spend at least a couple thousand dollars each year on rpg products between offical stuff, miniatures, dice, 3rd party products, and other...

    WotC Guessing as to WotC's VTT plans

    Yes. Because Wizards, a corporate entity under Hasbro would totally tell the truth about a major reason for not releasing pdfs being that they want to "encourage" people to use their proprietary (and now 1st party) system in order to have any sort of electronic access to their ruleset...

    WotC Guessing as to WotC's VTT plans

    I also don't like DnD Beyond. Something I've been very vocal about both here and to wizards ever since it's Beta inception. I think it's asinine that one has to pay both a subscription fee AND purchase books a second time in order to truly use their product. And before someone claims that it is...

    WotC Guessing as to WotC's VTT plans

    That's at least a start. I've still no desire to use it if it's more than a one time fee and doesn't Allow customization and importing generic assets. But I'm also llikely not the target audience. I have no desire to use DnD Beyond either and likely never will. And I've STILL never forgiven...

    WotC Guessing as to WotC's VTT plans

    There's a lot of unknowns here. First, any VTT that outright requires a VR headset is doomed to failure until said headsets are actually affordable (less than $100 and does NOT require an additional gaming system/pc on top of it) for the mainstream. Assuming their "3D VTT isn't Referring to...

    Dragonlance What Dragonlance Shadow of the Dragon Queen cover did you get?

    Yeah. I'm thinking that's likely the case. I get COVID delays and whatnot, so I have some sympathies. I just wish I known ahead of time because if I did I would've just picked up the Deluxe edition. I like the Soth cover better but frankly the entire reason I wanted the damned thing was for the...

    D&D General The DM Shortage

    Honestly it's regional as well. Where I live I actually have the opposite problem: Not enough players. I've been seeking players for literally months now and have been unable to find anyone local to join our group. It doesn't help that I have zero interest in playing using online systems or...

    Dragonlance What Dragonlance Shadow of the Dragon Queen cover did you get?

    I bought the middle one with every intention of purchasing the board game separately simply because I like the middle cover most. Unfortunately I did not realize that the board game itself is either not yet out or fiendishly hard to get because none of the stores nearby have it except for the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Sorcerer brainstorm

    The addition of a generic Arcane list helps at lot. But I want either origin spells, your origin to determine which spell list you draw from, or both. And I do NOT want sorcerers to be limited at all on spell school selection like bards are likely to be. Aside from stuff based on the playtest...

    Dragonlance Lunar Sorcery: A Preview from Shadow of the Dragon Queen

    Yes. The class progression was wonky. While I prefer the 3e stuff for lore, agreed. 5e is lacking in that regard. The mechanics are far superior though. You must be new here. Welcome to every Dragonlance thread ever since the internet's inception. More on these to the actual thread...
