    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Surprise and Hiding Rules Interpretation

    They are two orthogonal concepts. Surprise is binary, between two sides. Either you are surprised or not. You can't be surprised by some and not by others. Whether somebody is hidden is not binary. Some can be hidden, others might not. It is not a requirement that all memebers of a party are...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Surprise and Hiding Rules Interpretation

    Being hidden and surprise are two different things. You can surprise someone, without being hidden.

    WotC New WotC Statement on Orion Black

    I think Wizards will withdraw a bit. It’s simply too much of a risk interacting with fans directly given how abysmal the community acts on Twitter. It is so non constructive and nothing but a performative yelling match.

    WotC New WotC Statement on Orion Black

    Yeah. I pretty much can’t stand following the D&D community on twitter anymore. It’s totally out of hand and people are acting ridiculous. Seems like there’s no adults in the room.

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    This Jackie Chan movie should be taken down. It's like he doesn't know chop sticks are for eating only. Such a racist. And yes, sarcasm.

    What do you find so problematic about the books so they need to be removed?

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Thanks for the list. Honestly don't understand this outrage. Guess they haven't watched a Jackie Chan movie. The book seems more like something that came out of love. Love for Japan and the other Asian countries. Written in a different time. The dudes behind that YouTube video, could just as...

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Could not agree more. 58 pages, and almost no mentioning of what is so bad in this book. Talk about much ado about nothing.

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Ok. Thanks for the cliff notes 🙂 It doesn't make this whole thing less confusing for me. It seems there is very little discussion of the actual content here, and instead a lot of abstract discussion. That's fine I guess, but what about arguing for the books removal based on its actual content...

    Release Monte Cook’s Numenera setting comes to 5e with Beneath the Monolith

    Choice is good. More people will play the setting now probably. And perhaps that results in some conversions?

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    I am curious, since I have not read the book. What is the problem with OA? I have read most of this thread, and other stuff, but haven't found anything beyond the word oriental. Looking up "oriental" I can see it means somebody form the far east, and is now "considered offensive when used to...

    D&D 5E (2014) How should be the future Oriental Adventures.

    But not all asians are saying that. Some even the opposite! Also you just tell people what to do. Not very constructive.

    D&D 5E (2014) Orion Black No Longer a D&D Designer [UPDATED!]

    Look it's about due diligence. Of course a company is gonna check this stuff out: if you have written something on twitter, or published or book or made a movie - whatever - it will all be taken into account. That's what recruiters and HR people do. And are expected to do. And I can promise you...

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

    Yeah! I would kill for a Dungeon magazine in print. It would never happen, but damn would be nice.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e Adventure Reviews

    Great idea. Love the list. Have some quick comments - and as you yourself points out it it's all opinions. So keep that in mind ;) First off, I don't agree with the prevalent presmise that railroad is bad and sandbox is good. It all depends on the table. Further I don't agree with the genereal...
