Some of our house rules currently: Help action (ability checks/skills only, not combat): add the helping character's skill modifier to the check (from Deborah Ann Woll's Relics & Rareties show). Changing prepared spells after long rest: takes 10 minutes flat. Healing Potions: heals maximum...

Because some things in the online tool are free, we don't have the Ravnica book, and you choose from lists instead of having to look through the books. Online is a lot more tl;dr but maybe that's just me...?

I work as a software tester, and I completely agree with this. In professional testing "alpha testing" is wholly performed in-house by people employed by the developing company, and "beta testing" is performed by external consultants, whether they are paid by the company (which is where I...

I really like a lot of the ideas mentioned by the OP (but I'd most likely buy any new edition of D&D, if I'm being honest :D). I do think, however, that I'd like there to be a long, hard look at balance of spells. D&D is a legacy system (the rpg legacy system). I think some of the reason why...

Reaper Minis are releasing a Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut "mini" for their Bones line next year. It was part of the last kickstarter. Personally, I'd like to see halflings that aren't rogues... halfling barbarian or bard or monk. And because we're currently playing Curse of Strahd, I could use a...

Yet another Forgotten Realms book. I'm probably going to pass on that, unless it has enough good stuff to plug into my own game. I really want to support D&D, I would buy every book (I bought Chronomancers for AD&D 2e...) just not Forgotten Realms, it is too boring.

Use the Disengage action to burrow then move it to a good position for breath then move out of the ground and fly up (remember you can use different movement types in the same round) and unleash the breath.

My (recently cancelled) group had 5 dragon encounters, though 3 were technically the same dragon (from LMoP - the original, later they summoned a copy of it for entertaining the fey court, and when they returned to their castle, the real version was waiting for them). They also met a Lawful...

Misty step requires line of sight and has 30 feet range. Dimension door requires line of sight or a description - what if that description is wrong? ;) Teleport circle requires a sigil key Teleport is a 7th-level spell in 5e (was 5th-level in earlier editions) and has a chance to fail. Also they...

They've said (on Twitter I believe) that Barovia, where CoS takes place, is not a part of Forgotten Realms (thank the gods). I love Ravenloft. We played in that setting for many years with AD&D 2e. It plays a lot on emotions and isolation if the PCs come from outside the Mists. Most horror rpgs...

That is awesome, absolutely great work.

AD&D 2e had a Complete Book of Necromancers, which is pretty cool if you want ideas for Necromancers. In Warhammer Fantasy there is Nagash the Supreme Lord of the Undead. But Strahd is awesome. I'd probably make him some sort of enhanced vampire with at least 16 levels as necromancer. Or not...

The minis for Rage of Demons look absolutely awful. A few look really cool (Nalfehsnee), but most look like crap. I was so excited for this set, but now I think I'll skip it.

To me, Forgotten Realms lack flavor. It doesn't have that special feeling that just makes me want to explore every inch of the world (Ravenloft, Eberron, and Planescape does that to me). I think most of the names of nations and cities in FR sounds wrong (I think it was Tolkien who said something...
