I can't see them doing individual art pieces for every wizard school. It would just take up too much space in the book.

16 page thread about essentially nothing... Clickbait still works for sure ;)

People, OK. But if a game designer refers to a Melee DPR class as a a Tank, then I'm concerned about the game. Did they just give the monk a new role, or is he simply clueless?

While D&D magic can potentially heal almost any injury, I don't see any spell in the rules that can permanently "fix" inborn traits, or the bodily effects of lifestyle and aging (outside of wish, which can potentially do anything at significant risk). I don't think the wizard the illustration...

Looks AI generated 😜

the ones complaining here still managed to learn, even if it was hard at the time.

The ones that failed to learn probably gave up on RPGs, so we don't hear from them in the community.

I don't think wotc's business practices have much to do with Larian cancelling the BG3 DLC, it sounds more like the development just wasn't working out. The team would not have been "elated" at the decision if they were enjoying working on the project.

Just remove death saves and have characters die when they hit 0 hp, and 5e will be almost as deadly as 2e.

I'm kinda surprised that "I hate X" is an option in the survey. Normally that's a question corporate surveyors are reluctant to ask as even raising the possibility that a Customer could hate the Product is Verboten. Kinda feels like they're trying to get honest opinions from as many people as...

I get the impression that's it's not really milestone leveling that's the "problem", but that the published adventures have the milestones so close to each other that you level up much faster than you would if you were collecting XP. If you see "Levels 1-10" on an adventure and expect it to have...

I don't think you should count on this level of introspection and preparations from groups running published adventures. These are often new gamers jumping right into it.

It is the fault of the game designers if they create features that are pointless for a very common style of play that they even promote with their adventure products.

The money you'd save on condoms would pay for this event and more! ;)

While some things matching that description do exist in Barovia, if you're playing CoS you'll run into them as part of the plot anyway, making the Sage background feature largely redundant. Which of course isn't all that different from playing any published adventure - if the party requires...

Maybe if you tell Bob that and ask nicely, he will agree to let you use his character.

Why not just accept that if Bob says that it's important to him that other people doesn't play his character, he means it, even if doesn't make sense to you? People get emotional about their creative works in ways they don't do about chairs or peanuts.

As a DM, you have infinite NPCs. If a player doesn't want you to use their ex-PC any further in the game, it generally costs you nothing to agree, no matter how weird you think such a request is.

The campaign story is a shared creative work, and the player character is each player's main tool for input into the story. So even a player has left the campaign, the polite thing to do to if you want to respect their participation is to Honor their wishes for their character, and how they...

Not by much, swords, lances and spears (in the form of muskets with bayonets) were important military weapons well into the 19th century, and battles were often decided in melee. The real game changer was gunpowder artillery, not personal firearms.
