    D&D 5E (2014) Is Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Based on the 80s D&D Cartoon?

    Not only can it be that, but it could be even less than that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Dragons of Stormwreck Isle Based on the 80s D&D Cartoon?

    Be a quite twist. Especially since the move is in the Forgotten Realms, and we've seen one actress has horns, among other differences.

    D&D 4E 4E: Recommended Books

    I think all the issues are available for purchase on DM's Guild, but at $5.00 a pop seems ridiculously expensive. One of the smaller releases I picked up for 4e was the Hammerfast supplement, which detailed a dwarven city and was pretty much all setting and plot hooks. I enjoyed it, though...

    D&D General How has D&D changed over the decades?

    There's probably a correlation that can be mapped out with the same thing having happened in television.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e really that different?

    There were. My post isn't just about the fighter, that was just the example. I'm talking a fundamental rethink about how they approached builds and roles.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e really that different?

    The reason I used quotation marks because it seemed to be an eye(s) of the beholder thing. I've seen 5e lauded as a much heralded return to 1e, 2e, and 3e. But that's a sentiment that hasn't come around as much in recent years. It's an area 4e might have been served better by taking an even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e really that different?

    I would say this isn't accurate. 4e homogenized many things, changed a ton of things, and more than being complicated it just gave so many options that combats would drag on. Also feat bloat. Especially in the early years of 5e the discussion was much more about 5e being a return to "classic"...

    Marvel to Launch Official 'MARVEL MULTIVERSE' Tabletop Role-Playing Game in 2022

    Are those different things in your area? Of my four local geek hobby shops, two just sell games and two sell both comics and games.

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    I wonder if they considered having each episode start like the first one did; narration from Matt, often including a subverted situation and lampshade of some kind.

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    To be clear, I totally agree Microsoft was and is a very successful company. But some of their failures have come from hubris and they've stepped in easily avoidable pitfalls.

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    I'm not arguing Microsoft as a whole is incompetent. But they've pushed out crappy products, thrown away market advantages, and unlike when Google tries out some new program and it fails to catch on Microsoft had to shove Games for Windows Live into everyone's face aand cause headaches years...

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    Sorry, "from the start".

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    I would disagree. Games for Windows Live was a disaster from relief (edit-from the start). They threw away the massive lead they had with IE by neglecting it as Firefox and Chrome lapped them. And Skype...I know less about that. What did Microsoft replace it with? It seems to still exist.

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    Internet Explorer. Skype. Games for Windows Live. It's not unreasonable to have questions if the person in charge has no experience with your product (which I have no idea one way or the other if that's the case here. The safe assumption is not, though). But it's more important that anyone...

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    Saw the first two episodes. The first one is pretty bad. The second one is better. I don't mind vulgarity, but there's an art to using it to maximize humor that I don't feel like they are any good at.

    Which team will win Super Bowl LVI?

    Tigers are my favorite animal.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D on the cover of Sports Illustrated

    Hopefully Myles Garrett doesn't have the same habit of using improvised weapons at the table as he does on the field.

    D&D 5E (2014) New MtG Arena Format Alchemy will add new D&D cards

    Modern Horizons 2 was a paper only product, and I'd be shocked if Alchemy cards are more powerful than those in MH2.

    D&D 5E (2014) What 3 Settings did you pick in the Survey

    I would not use the word "need." I'm sure that WoTC themselves doesn't see a "need" for an explanation.

    I have some bad news in regards to "not long ago" and "17 year ago".
