    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    More thoughts: - there are now detailed 5E rules for combat drones as equipment. - this is an E10 variant of 5E, all Classes go only to Level 10: makes sense frankly. - there are a lot of guns, and different guns with different effects and Weapon Masteries. One assumes these are for the game...

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    Got my copy, some interesting tidbits: - Chris Cocks, CEO of Hasbro, wrote the Traveler's Creed that has been a big part of their marketing. - Not only is this 5E, this is 2024 5E: there are Weapon Masteries for all the guns and other high tech weaponry, and the Origins are like Backgrounds...

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual Organisation

    So, this seems to confuse the multiple levels of category: All Demons and Devils have the Creature Type Fiend, along with Yugoloths and some others. Demons belong to one family, devils ro another. Different members of a family may or may not be variants of each other. So: Dragons Chromatic...

    I mean, might be more uniform in the 2034 MM.

    I am overwhelmed by your charity. It is greater than mine.

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual Organisation

    I mean, you are more likely to have a social interaction with Myconoids than with anything in the Fungus section, by a considerable degree (points for creativity for anyone who does, though). The logic of organizing NPCs by narrative function seems plenty logical, to me: want a Pirate, it is...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    They released thw beefy Baldur's Gate Gazateer for free on Beyond when the full release dropped.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    Even Spelljammer's main problem was space: Planescape has 64 more pages, and those make a huge difference.

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual Organisation

    Myconoids may be a "fungus" in terms of biology, but in game terms they are not a fungal hazard, they are people.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    I would actually suggest that the changes to the Forgotten Realms product may be because Winninger had moved on: it looks to me like it was originating to be a slipcase, too. D&D is never a one man show.

    I bet it will be, in the long run: this release is billed as an early adapters edition.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Yet Tasha's had sold faster than any prior PHB: that's why they brought it up, prior to 2024 Tasha's was the fastest selling D&D product of all time (prior to that it had been Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, interestingly enough, per Nate Stewart).

    Seems tenuous, assumptions can be dangerous.

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual Organisation

    Not all categories are the same. "Science fiction novels" and "Amphibians" are vote categories, but not in the same way. You might not think the logic is coherent, yet it is. The category takes precedence when the stat blocks are either CR variants or a group that would be together normally. Ao...

    No particular reason to imagine it doesn't mean printed books.
