    D&D 5E (2024) New Celestials | 2024 Monster Manual | D&D

    I can take or leave the aasimon nomenclature, but since they never use it, the aasimar species' name is kind of a headscratcher.

    Is it just me or does WOTC seem allergic to the word Aasimon?

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    There's a difference between saying that a game was influenced by other games and the most common way this line gets repeated "4E was just WOW on paper"--which is inevitably a pejorative statement spread by people who probably haven't even played it. It's not like 4E actually plays anything like...

    Yeah, you can play 4E without a grid but it does lose something without a way to visually track positioning. Though honestly, I prefer to have a grid even in 5E because I've never liked playing the 'am I in range' and 'do I have enough movement to reach them' edition of 20 Questions.

    Not only that but if you're just a client and not hosting, it Browser Foundry will run on a potato of a PC.

    Wait does that include Giant Eagles? Because that means Druids lose one of their best flying wildshape options.

    Damn that Solar is ripped.

    It's really disheartening that over 15 years later and we're still having the same tired arguments about 4E. And that some of it is coming from people who worked at WOTC and should know better.

    Dungeons & Dragons Comments On Possibility of Future Movie Projects

    So did the previous D&D movie. Doesn't have much bearing on what happened in 2023

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    I've been working on an adapation of Descent into Avernus into my homebrew world that uses a modified Dawn War pantheon and I replaced the Dead Three with a triumvirate of Bane, Torog, and Vecna.

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    Just do what I and many others did when WOTC disappointed with Spelljammer: release something on DMs Guild and profit off their inadequacy.

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    I feel like I'm so far out of the loop. I've heard the word 'thug' all my life and it just referred to a big violent criminal irrespective of race. Sure, it could be a street gang member, but it could just as easily be a mafia goon or a neo-nazi brawler.

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    D&D has had official purple dragons since at least 2E. They breathe plasma (or psychotropic gas in 4E). Also the Purple Dragon Knights don't actually ride purple dragons, but amethyst ones.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle monster knowledges in your game?

    If the player doesn't know something about the monster, they can roll a relevant knowledge check. If they do know, it's up to them how they want to play the character's knowledge or ignorance of the topic.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle Insight in your game?

    I mean sensing dishonesty and lies of omission can be a valid use of insight. But it's not infallible, nor is it mind reading.

    As long as they bring back Jarnathan the Aaracokra to suffer more I will be happy.

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    Honestly it's not a huge deal for things like the classic demi-human options, since it's easy enough to just change out the token/mini and say this Warrior is a human, this one's an orc, a dwarf, etc. The thing where you lose a lot of flavor is the Duergar, Drow, Lizardfolk,--the non-standard...

    I'm not sure I follow. What would a D&D movie be if not fantasy?

    Did we ever get a confirmation of that? Because that's really annoying and baffling.
