    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want & expect to see in 2024's 5.5e?

    I’d bet money it will be called either Anniversary or Gold Edition rather than any numerical designation. It’ll make it feel less like a true edition change and hype up the big 5-0 milestone. As for what I think the PHB will have: Races revised, per Tasha’s (flexible ASI, languages, etc.)...

    Spelljammer Boo Book: Spelljammer, Space, and Speculation!

    I’d be all over a Realms to Spelljammer campaign! Mostly adventure, with just enough setting information to expand on! I really hope that’s what it is, but I’ll probably be disappointed… it’ll be Boo’s Guide to Skullport or something like that.

    D&D 5E (2014) $165 Priced Hardcover D&D 2022 Book(s?) Leaked on Amazon

    I would actually love to see something like that. I was just saying to my buddy last week that I think it’s a major missed opportunity that the new campaign setting books haven’t been followed with a big adventure book for that setting. But while I might be willing to pay for something like...

    Let's Have a Peek At TRANSFORMERS and GI JOE!

    I remember all of these properties from my youth, but are they still popular with the kids? Are are they marketed to middle-aged guys like me looking for a nostalgic game, or is this something today’s younger audience will be interested in? I figured Transformers was still around after the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Keith Baker's Eberron/Ravenloft Crossover Comes Next Week!

    I may be mistaken, but I believe those are the only three settings available to creators on the DMs Guild. I think settings open up when WotC publishes an official book for it--so no Dark Sun or Dragonlance unless and until they have a book for it. That said, I am really excited to see this one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Redesigning the Monster Block - What four things do you put first, right after the name?

    I miss some of the options included that used to be on stat blocks, like activity cycle or number appearing… but those old stat blocks were kinda useless in play. I guess I’d really like to see a combat stat block that focuses on what you need in a fight, and then a standardized...

    D&D 5E (2014) You Can Now Get Minis For The D&D Combat Wheelchair

    Firstly, if you look at the image on the website, which shows the back, that dwarf is on a downward slope... so, gravity. Second... magic wheelcair!

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd 'Revamped' Boxed Collector's Edition

    I'm not crazy about the coffin shape simply because of shelf space reasons, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good. Honestly, I'd prefer if they did all their big adventures as boxed sets. Having maps and handouts that don't need to be ripped from the book, and separating the monsters are...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Errata Released For D&D PHB, OotA, Xanathar, and ToF

    Speaking as a DM whose players have exploited the heck out of Healing Spirits for ages (following every tough fight with a "conga line" through the spirit), I'm pretty happy about this change!

    Critical Role Matt Mercer Speaks About The Wildemount Book

    I don't know anything about the setting or Critical Role, but I welcome it. Now that 5E is releasing settings (yay!), it seems like they are alternating between new ones (Ravnica, Wildemount) and established ones (Ravenloft-sort of, Eberron). Personally I think it is a great strategy. I'll be...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many classess/subclasses is too much?

    I think we are probably at or very near having enough subclasses. It seems like the new ideas in UA are pretty specific corner case concepts rather than broad archetypes that can it any campaign. After the Artificer, a Psion class is about all I can see for new classes. I think there are room...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron: Rising from the Last War Coming For D&D In November

    Looking forward to this one, but that cover is real disappointment.

    WotC Considering NPC Stat Format Change

    Yes. Yes it is! Admittedly, it might be a fun alternative Monster Manual, presented somewhat like an "in-world" tome of monstrous lore, but I'd hate to see how a long stat block like a dragon or vampire would look.

    WotC Considering NPC Stat Format Change

    Maybe I'm getting too old for this s#!$ but I think having to read a whole sentence to express what should be a few words and abbreviations is a terrible idea. Walls of text are a pain to read through when at the table, so having a parenthetical with the stats to catch the eyes makes things a...

    Ravnica Update: Focus on Five Guilds

    Wow, none of this sounds even remotely interesting to me. This will be the first 5E product I take a pass on. I'm happy for those it appeals to though.

    In Which I Attempt a Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Photoshoot

    What is the city map situation? Big poster map, smaller maps of the individual wards in the book, etc?

    There's A New Edition of Savage Worlds Coming!

    I enjoy Savage Worlds, but I have always felt the books could be arranged better and some of the text cleaned up, so I'll be interested to see how this turns out. I've actually never been a fan of the core rules and settings being separated, it makes character creation rough when flipping back...

    New Campaign Setting Hint Is Eberron?

    One of the hallmarks of Eberron is that thanks to airships and lightning rails a single adventure might take you to several far flung locations. I think it would be a disservice to limit the setting to a single region. I would rather have a book that has sparse details on a variety of locations...

    New Campaign Setting Hint Is Eberron?

    I really hope this is true. Eberron, Planescape, and Spelljammer are the top of my wish list.

    What's This Mysterious D&D Book? [UPDATED!]

    I'd be up for a limited edition cover of a PHB with all the latest errata and perhaps a better index. Even better if they revised the downtime section to align with XGE.
