    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford on D&D Races Going Forward

    I'm guessing the poster is unfamiliar with a whole host of games that are similar to what they wrote, such as Chuubo's et al. And yes, they are fun. And you can have great adventures.

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    There are still some good people out there in the OSR movement, and it rankles when people write off the entire scene because of the garbage people, but I also check on the author and publisher these days before I buy. I do that with non-OSR books as well, mind. As someone who's always liked...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    It's a great step forward, and if it helps drive out some of the broflake racists and bigots out of the hobby, then it's a win-win as far as I'm concerned.

    If you choose to take those spells, then yes, you're likely to be using those spells. If you don't want to use those spells, then there's an easy solution there - don't take those spells.

    That's up tot he player to choose spells that fir their concept surely? If you want to play a pure illusionist, then just choose illusion spells, and not fireball. If anything this proves the point that 5e is better - in 3e either you're an illusionist or you aren't; in 5e you can choose to be a...

    RPG Sales for Black Lives Matter

    I wonder if we look back at previous charity drives, whether the same posters now suggesting we have to look very closely at charitable status were equally vocal then about doing so. And if not, I wonder what possible reasons there are for doing so with this particular charity now all of a sudden.

    I disagree that 5e is sraving for new mchanics. It's just not succumbing to bloat like previous editions. That's a good thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e General rules vs Specifics of Dual Wielding

    I'm guessing it's in relation tot he OP, which talks about a cutlass in one hand and a pistol in the other, and the relevance of the crossbow expert feat - if he has a cutlass in the other hand, he wouldn't be able to use crossbow expert to keep firing the pistol because he'd need a free hand to...

    D&D 5E (2014) People didn't like the Psionic Talent Die

    I think that rather than a huge bunch of psionic subclasses for every class out there (because if you have a psionic thief, a psionic ranger, a psionic mage, then you'll have people complaining there's no psionic cleric, etc), it would be better to have a psionic class with just a few subclasses...

    D&D 5E (2014) People didn't like the Psionic Talent Die

    You could also argue that a bold innovation would be to have 5e be the first edition that never has a psionics option at all.

    D&D 5E (2014) People didn't like the Psionic Talent Die

    I'd take the opposite tack - what would poison the game is bloat. KISS is a much better way of dealing with the mechanics, the fewer new systems and subsystems the better.

    It's equivalent to the guy with his throat stamped on saying "I can't breathe" and the cop with his boot on that throat saying "but what about my corns?"

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden the New D&D Adventure?

    I've found that even terrible scenario pdfs can be useful in giving you an idea to run with. I'd recommend having a look through the various scenarios you do like, noting the publisher and author, and seeing if they have done any other work.
