If I never see another post about what to call the new version of D&D it will be too soon. I wonder what could have been achieved if every time someone thought about discussing this topic, they instead donated a buck to charity…

I’ll take Eberron’s planes over the “great” wheel any day if the week! Each feels distinct and has a purpose (plus none are tied to the gods who are… elsewhere, if they exist at all).

I get that a lot of folks that have a bone to pick with WotC (and/or the subscription business model in general) want to paint this in a sinister light, but I'm not seeing it. My master tier subscription has been a huge benefit that I have never regretted--I've got 9 people that I share content...

I think some people were always just waiting to pounce on compatibility because it means different things to different people. I always assumed that the backward compatibility meant that you could more or less use adventures form the past 10 years with the new rules--just insert new versions of...

A few years ago I came acrost an article that discussed the differences in coin sizes based on the density of the of the metal--basically an ounce of silver and an ounce of gold aren't the same dimensions (assuming 50 coins to the pound). So it's not an apples to apples comparison between...

I like the idea of adventure paths in theory—and we had a lot of fun with Age of Worms when it came out—but in practice, they always seem to fall apart some where along the way. Several people in this thread have used the old term “module” in this thread, and frankly, I think going back to...

Since warlocks are generally pretty villainous in their subclasses by default, they should go against the grain and have Celestial patrons in the DMG!

I dunno, two or three games in 23 years seems like a reach....

I play the odd old school game at a con--they remind me of the things I enjoyed and disliked about the old days--but I wouldn't think that counts.

One of the guys in my secondary group really wanted to run PF2, so we have been giving it a shot. In almost 40 years of gaming I’ve tried dozens of systems, PF2 may be the first I actively hate. The rules are needlessly fiddle and complex, things often grind to a halt in combat as people...

That's not a Hasbro thing, that's an every corporation thing! I'd be absolutely shocked if Purina or Nabisco (both subsidiaries of major conglomerates) thought past quarterly profits. That's that nature of being traded on the stock market.

I just don't see it. It would be on par with the 90's era fumble of publishing settings thta diluted their own markets. The best case scenario that I could see would be producing some rules-free material, like campaign settings that are edition neutral... but I wouldn't bet any money on that idea.

Very cool. I’ve got several fantasy swords and axes, but i only own one gun (I know, I barely qualify as American)… a Civil War revolver that belonged to a great great uncle. It’s definitely real, the only thing we don’t know is which side issued it! Apparently he went south and joined up, and a...

My situation is probably pretty atypical, but I've got a dedicated gaming table with a DM nook that basically eliminates my need for a DM screen to hide notes, minis, dice rolls, etc. So to be honest, I'd like to see D&D Beyond create a DM screen page that I can pull up on a laptop or tablet...

I like the cover. Like the PHB, it's a simple, centered composition that reminds me of earlier editions. I think reversing the colors on the spine is great, simple visual cue that its a variation of the same edition as the past decade. I know Venger and Warduke, not sure about the third...

I suppose you could run thing on "easy mode" and offer gentle suggestions that one course of action or another may not yield the results they expect... But perhaps these players just need a tough love wake up call. Remind them that they are adults (assuming they are) and as such, they--not...

I don't have the book yet, but I will later today. I'm going to give it a read through, but I'm pretty sure I'll be using it for my current campaign at 10th level; if so I would likely up Nest of Ruin to 6th level (which is where they are are now) and switch some locations, as my campaign is in...

Whenever we roll stats, I always have a couple of players that get boned. I like to keep things even, so I've tried this a few times. I give them the choice, whatever the majority decides, we go with (and I am the tiebreaker): they can either go with standard point buy or a shared set of rolled...

I like both covers. Its also nice to hear the book will hit the FLGS 2 weeks early; seems like it's been a while since that was the case.

I could nitpick individual elements--I'd like the red dragon in the foreground to be a little more prominent--on the whole I think it is a really great piece. I like that it strongly invokes the feel of the 2E covers, and it makes me eager to see the rest of the covers. So far, I've been happy...
