    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana Today: Giant Themed Class Options and Feats

    Surprised by this UA, but definitely in a good way. I love Giants, especially when considered as the mythical builders of great, primeval things on our world—eald enta geweorc, as the poems (correctly IMO) point out. I know that this is probably for a Fizban-type book on Giants, but boy would I...

    Check Out The Official Free COWBOY BEPOP Playtest Document [Update: It’s Gone!] [Back Again!]

    When meeting a new RPG for the first time, I always take a look at the character sheet to get an idea of what I expect. When I looked at Cowboy Bebop's character sheet, I was pleasantly surprised. The game looks simple and story-focused. Exactly the type of RPG I'd expect out of this amazing...

    Dragonlance The importance of Dragonlance

    Dragonlance was—and is—immensely important to me on a personal level as well. I've written extensively in the past about how I consider it one of the cornerstones of my life, and how it taught me—and still does—with every adventure that I run set in it and each short story I (re)read how to...

    I wasn't interested in this... And then they bring Highlander AND The Crow. I'm sold! 😁🖤

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    The races of the Graygem—Dwarves, Gnomes, and Kender—because they were basically created by the touch of Chaos, have one unique property when it comes to time-traveling: they can change the course of the River of Time. Other races can travel back in time, but they cannot make changes in the past...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    I'm pretty much in the same boat. I screamed with joy when the setting was announced last week, so far as to revive this old account of mine to share my excitement and joy with all of you. This new UA is, in my opinion, a HUGE step in the right direction, especially when it comes to Kender and...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    I'd allow it too, for sure. In fact, I may even offer it as the default for now.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    We have to disagree then. Summer Flame was a fitting end to the setting and storyline, and then Rabe wrote not one but two awful trilogies set in that unrecognizable Krynn TSR concocted with Dragon Overlords, one moon, and no gods—alongside other very boring inversions of the original. The War...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    Yeah, I'll definitely do. I'm rereading now the original Dragonlance Chronicles and enjoying them immensely.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    Yeah, I have to agree. Plus, most of the Fifth Age material was not written by Weis & Hickman (right up until the end) and it definitely looks like they'll try to retcon it through their new novel trilogy, starting in August this year.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    I think the problem is that RAW, the setting books say "good" when they mean lawful good. As you can probably guess, the problems arise when lawful good people start caring more about law than good. In the same fashion, when DL mentions "neutral" it should say "neutral authentic" or "neutral...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    It may serve as clarification and/or an alternative but, as someone who has run adventures set on Krynn for 20+ years, the Wizards/Mages of High Sorcery never had an attitude of "join us or die" —except for the Black Robes who are supposed to be egotistical and greedy (aka evil). The idea of...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    I'm a happy GM & player. This feels much more in line with a modernized version of Krynn, and the Kender is now 100% less disruptive! Love the immunity to fear and the taunt. The free feats look strong—and I love them for it! It'll definitely be a great incentive to have more Knights of...

    Dragonlance More DRAGONLANCE Information: Kender, Battles, W&H's Novels, & More!

    Although I've been a long time fan of Dragonlance—and everything within it, warts and all—I recognize that Kender have been and are potentially problematic. In my mind, they are the same as the now-forgotten "Lawful Stupid" paladins of old. What Wizards did in that case in 5E—removing alignment...

    Dragonlance More DRAGONLANCE Information: Kender, Battles, W&H's Novels, & More!

    It looks like the flying citadels that Kitiara employs during the Blue Lady's War, a couple of years after the War of the Lance. Those events are contemporary with the Legends novel trilogy.

    Dragonlance More DRAGONLANCE Information: Kender, Battles, W&H's Novels, & More!

    I'm SO excited about Dragonlance in 5E. It's my favorite D&D setting by far! Love that the battle game is cooperative, although I think it'll probably be more 1 vs All than truly cooperative, with the GM running the baddies and the players running their units + heroes. I'm a bit worried about...
