    Eberron It Is? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

    I don't necessarily think it means they'll ramp up production. Reading through it, "everything has a place," in WGtE seems to be more in the form of, "yeah, we can find a way for your character's race to exist in the world," rather than, "Oh yeah, we have everything! under the sun!" The possible...

    Eberron It Is? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

    I took a look at it on D&D Beyond (and pre-ordered Ravnica, despite my initial disappointment over no spelljammer) I'm not even through the "What is Eberron?" chapter and I'm in love. I knew it was likely up my alley to begin with, but there's things in here I'm going to have to use, even if I...

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    I watched the source interview. The written article is based on misquoting. He was referring to Magic: The Gathering Arena as a possible E-sport, but in the same paragraph mentioned D&D livestreaming. There won't be a D&D E-sport, at least not in the foreseeable future.

    Envoy Warforged: You Pass Butter

    I'm personally a big for of Masque, warforged assassin with a built in disguise kit. That's just begging for Terminator references.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you marry a party member for +2 AC?

    The only one I can think of off the top of my head was for Pathfinder, though most of its commentary would be relevant to the D&D spell too.

    Graph Paper Romance: When D&D Characters Date

    I included a gag element of one of the questgiver NPCs having a not so subtle crush on the rogue, and the group was pretty enthusiastic about him. It's only been one session so far, though, so anything might happen in the future. Maybe it fizzles; maybe he takes a liking to a different PC, or...

    Do you increase monster hit points?

    I don't adjust monster HP (aside from rolling hit points if I prep a session with enough advance) but then I haven't had much luck continuing a campaign past level 4, so I can't comment on how much I'd need to.

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    No, it isn't needed, per se, but more examples to point to for positive reinforcement is always nice.

    D&D 5E (2014) Z's Multi classing Thoughts

    Another fun way to do a bladelock is to take levels in the Swashbuckler Rogue. The subclass's sneak attack, +Cha to Initiative, and the 9th level feature (whose name I forget off the top of my head) pairs well with a warlock who has an interest in finesse weapons. Exactly how many levels in each...

    UA: Giant Soul Sorcerer

    I haven't been able to figure out how much I like/dislike the mechanics, simply because for whatever reason, I can't get over the Giant origin. I get that it's a blessing, not a literal bloodline that hails from giants, but I've still never really associated Giants with magic, for some reason...

    ‘Advanced’ Dungeons & Dragons

    I'm not sure why you'd need more than one book, unless you mean more than one setting book, but one book per setting. You could probably get away with the major points and themes of Planescape in a book the size of the SCAG (and they actually did, once. It's called the Planewalker's handbook...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why everyone think that Battlemaster is better than Samurai?

    In the Banneret/PDK discussion: I was going to play one, but group friction caused me to leave right as we hit 3rd level, so I didn't get to test my hypothesis. I get the feeling it'll be subpar if you play it like a support class, but would still be effective if played as a fighter (mostly...

    ‘Advanced’ Dungeons & Dragons

    I won't say this is preference, but rather what it'll sound like will happen, either by interpreting what they're currently doing, or previous precedence: There will be an adventure that covers the big selling point of Dark Sun (a la Curse of Strahd for Ravenloft), and possibly a "Athas...

    Sending Spell: How many words to send teleportation circle sigil sequence?

    I'd probably do it like heraldry, where the sigil has a general blazon for representing it, and whether or not you can fit it in sending depends on how elaborate the blazon is. That said, I doubt most sigil sequences would be simple enough to send via sending, mostly because having one at all is...

    ‘Advanced’ Dungeons & Dragons

    Oh, and before I forget: How will we handle adventures? Will they be setting specific, thus solidifying these as competing product lines? Will they be setting neutral, and thus force DMs to use AD&D anyway, making Setting D&D redundant? Will there just not be adventure modules, thus leaving...

    ‘Advanced’ Dungeons & Dragons

    I still don't see that as any different from 2e. 2e still assumed the AD&D Player's Handbook was needed in order to run the game, and a lot of the infamous players' options came from books that weren't setting dependent. Likewise, it seems like you're putting too much weight on the idea that D&D...

    ‘Advanced’ Dungeons & Dragons

    This is one of those ideas that sounds elegant, but is unlikely to produce the results you want. It just reminds me too much of AD&D 2nd, wherein every setting line produced was assumed to be mutually exclusive, and it eventually split the market. There were ravenloft players, planescape...

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    Obviously the solution is that elves lay eggs :P

    Wow. Just began reading Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes -- WOTC is really putting out some awesome books.

    I can find a online table of names pretty easily, so I didn't *need* Xanathar's Guide to Everything's tables, but having it in one book so I don't *have to* is pretty nice. (Though to be honest, I would've liked it in the DMG, to go along with the NPC generator included) I started with 5e, so I...
