WoTC doesn't care about those who actually fork out the money for content. Hence the drive to make it impossible to go anywhere else ( it since then blowing up in their face and then trying to pass it off as a 1000 different things other than what it was. And yes, they DO try to spin stuff in...

This has heavy "daddy WoTC" energy. It's probably hold more water if he didn't have portfolio of award-winning games that aren't d&d related. Depends on who you are talking about. That's why you generally look for individual/content designer over who's logo is on the spine. You don't have to...

No he didn't. It was a originally a sweepstakes entries with a prize attached.(shady predatory tactic IMO). In reality he never owned it even if he did create it. It probably has clause in the contest about giving credit but 99% of the time once that submission is sent it's no longer your...

I don't know if I would ever call it broken. its just turn out like something that you wouldn't allow at a table if was homebrew because it's not really a coherent theme. What does the temporary hit points, armor/weapons, and floating around like a balloon even have to do with anything?

I don't necessarily believe KB is the in all of potential in the setting he created. I just don't have Faith WOTC won't mess it up for a plethora of reasons. There about 4 writes I look to for eberron content I don't buy many "rule books" or books for their mechanics because maths is the easy...

Eh. I'd rather WoTC would never touch it ever again or if they do it's in the VRGR format. The the only reason I bought ERLW was the fact KB was involved and even if isn't planning anything in an official capacity the popularity of the setting means he's going to continue to put out the little...

The system has the potential to have longevity once the core consumer becomes more comfortable with 3rd party content. It's peak will probably happen about One starts to falter when it's converted to VTTRPG as it's primary and the fall out of the OGL fitters over time.

I think KB is tied for first for shelf facing in my library. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next.

I've found that adding one of the lowest lv replicate common magic item infusions as a free pick is about perfect if you want to give them a small bump. gives them a way to round out whatever theme they are going for without just making them a better X because magic.

Artificer is very involved regarding the rest of the party and progression . They have the highest number of individual decisions per day with spell prep, subclass feature timing, infusions, SSI, and crafting progress (if applicable). so mechanically they can feel extremely flat in one shots/...

You're running to the issue real quick that modern DND has almost zero consideration for feature cost logic and is more focused on troupe/character concepts than balanced. It's doable but by the time you're done it would not look anything like 5e.

Most NPCs don't deal magical attack damage (less than 4%) and they scale both in damage and in volume of attacks. So YMMV depending on game theme. The more you see lots of relatively lower CRs compared to that since big bad the better it gets. HaM isn't flashy but it does mitigate a ton of...

Not just you. I think they are still getting hugged to death so give it a few days and try again. I had to just send an email for con DM confirmation /questions and they got back to me super fast.

I already spend 90% of my TTRPG 'slush' funds on 3rd party material. The only thing I buy from wizard is my yearly donations of starter boxes/ PHB/DMG bundles for donation. Im halting that indefinitely and am working with the local Brick and mortars for alternative options. Since the doubled...

As a "setting" book it's about on par with the others. lacks cohesion very rough around the edges. ERfLW being the only standout one that felt put together on all fronts. As a source material for inspiration it's well worth having on hand if you like to run anything other than hack n slash...

One often overlooked aspect of this entire conversation is that 5e inherently is not, nor does it strive to be, a balanced system. The overall gap between different player options is much smaller in 5e than it was in past editions but in order to do so they almost completely disregarded any...

After running an all single class party for every class cleric, warlocks, and artificer are tied for first in this type of game.

Aye. The explicit function of spells within a system that is primarily supported by a least some risk is core problem. Could probably trim out the really problem options but because they are someone obsessed with adding more spells with every book they released they'll be right back like kudzu...

Versatile has its own style that allows them to don/doff shields and other action based equipment options as a reaction and when they make attacks with a versatile weapon using two hands the damage die is increased by one size. For completeness: Twf- only one of the weapons needs the light tag...

I went back and forth with it and just ended up with the bigger weapons hit hard troupe. It's rare you have a player looking to utilize 2hd weapons anywhere close to realistic roots nor should they. In currently play testing 1d4 in place of the +2. Little bit more damage on average and feels a...
