I’ve played D&D since 1e though skipped 4e and played 3e/pathfinder during that era and have played 5e close to RAW since it came out. Two of the rules which are supposedly in place to keep a lid on characters getting too powerful are the magic item attunement limit and concentration mechanic. I...

Can I reanimate this thread a second time? Re re animated? I tend to resist changing stuff until I’ve played it RAW for a while, my first instinct with the concentration rules was that I liked the fact that it reduced the 3e massive pre combat buffing which was a problem both in the amount of...

Won’t be getting it if it’s just chapter 1 rewrite. That level of repair I can do. IMO in the same way that TSR released the “supermodule” Against the Giants combining GDQ, which became a must have, they should release a super duper module “War on the Sword Coast” combining ToD & SKT as a...

Nostalgia for early 5e already? Nice. I’ll be interested to see what the changes are.

My point is that D&D was largely portrayed in ST3 as something young kids do, that it’s expected that you will quit it when you hit age 16 & also that girls don’t participate in it. I consider that portrayal has a few negatives. The wizard suit is additionally a portrayal that reinforces...

I have just finished watching Stranger things 3, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and reading the recent article about increasing sales of D&D and found myself being slightly concerned about the portrayal of D&D in the latest season - if such things matter to the industry, which the article suggested...

Vecna #1 everyone else, who cares?

That sounds great! Combining the astral plane Githyanki with the spelljammer pirates Githyanki, the void with the mindscape with the astral sea of dreams. Astral dreadnaughts as a kind of sea serpent. If they arent developping this they should and they should hurry up.

The Styes is set in a port town. I wonder if it will be in Saltmarsh or if the book will give two towns along the coast? also is the order of adventures as stated ? Or will it be U1 isle of abbey U2 etc?

With that new fangled sun blade gone I don’t really have a dog in this fight. Happy with any of these swords winning.

Adventures

In answer to the question you need to start from the point that WOTC makes it very clear that they are not trying to make complete and absolute rules that cover every situation. The DMs interpretation is important and will be different from table to table. This is something it has in common with...

Nope. The question is actually asking about DMs limiting official WOTC published stuff. It doesn’t address non WOTC stuff. edit: ninjaed by mistwell

I thought one of the significant positive & differentiating thing about the explorer& even deluxe set compared to other games was the low price of the core rules. I’m disappointed that’s changed. I’m not sure whether I’ll jump on board.

Beginners set - Lost Mine of Phandelver

Thematically I prefer a less crowded world than this appears to be. More exploring the wildernes than battling street gangs. I do like new monsters though. I’m supportive of steps that are taken to enhance viability of D&D like growing the supporter base by trying to lure in Magic the...

Tomb of annihilation becomes a dungeon crawl once you get to the Tomb (which looks like being 7-12th level). So does Lost City of Barakhus (once you find the Lost City). Iirc War of the Burning Sky, Storm Kings Thunder & Hoard of the Dragon Queen aren’t too dungeon crawly but I’ve only read not...
