Draconic Sorcerers get the rough equivalent of 4 spells that they don't ever have to cast: Mage Armor, False Life, Fly and Protection From Energy (for one element). I've played 2014 Draconic Sorcerers, and yes, spell selection and metamagic was restrictive, but I managed then, and it's fine now...

Because of how 4e defenses are done, you are disincentived from pushing both stats for a defense. So pushing both Int and Dex is not a great idea, but either is viable. So you can make a Wisdom and Intelligence focused Druid and not lose out on AC and Reflex.

The Mindflayer stuff is new, right? I've not read the OG Phandelver adventure.

I'll admit, I almost always play spell casters, so the Brawler and World Tree are okay, but don't interest me like the Dance or Seas subclasses do. Between the two ... I'm going to give it to the College of Dance, aside from some needed clarifications, it looks like a lot of fun.

TBF, it looks like everyone was surprised by how successful BG3 has been.

I've run a one or two Saltmarsh modules and found them solid. Witchlight read very well, but I've yet to run it, debating doing so.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight 19 Tales from the Yawning Portal 17 - 2 = 15 Ghosts of Saltmarsh 18 + 1 = 19

Happy? ... eh? Let's say ... these aren't the choices I'd have made, but looking at the whole it's fine. There's a decent diversity of character options. Sure, Wizard and Clerics are looking at the long list they got in 2014 and sighing, and I'll agree that reprinting subclasses from Tasha's...

I'm just not the biggest nutmeg fan, our family recipe for Pumpkin Pie uses the other spices and adds orange rind, even when I make spiced cakes or cookies, I tend to omit or lower the amount of nutmeg. Aside from that ... I don't get the hubbub.

Canadian, so several of these I've never dined at ... I only know of White Castle because of the movie. For fried chicken, Popeyes used to be the standard, but I found the biscuits don't feel buttery, they feel stodgy. And after discovering Mary Brown's, I haven't gone back. Great chicken, I...

I've not had good luck with superhero RPGs. I ran a short "Heroes" like campaign in FATE Accelerated that was the best experience, even though the players were having fun, it was my second time GMing Fate and I was having a difficult time. Masks has a very limited scope, so I felt like I was...

Tomb of Annihilation 18 - 2 = 16 The Wild Beyond the Witchlight 22 + 1 = 23 Tales from the Yawning Portal 24 Ghosts of Saltmarsh 28

Yeah, as I said before, these aren't the ones I would have chosen, but looking at the list as a whole this is a solid list that covers a lot of themes and variety.

Tomb of Annihilation 23 + 1 = 24 The Wild Beyond the Witchlight 25 + 1 = 26 Tales from the Yawning Portal 30 - 2 = 28 Ghosts of Saltmarsh 36

Huh. And here I was about to say, given how little has happened in each episode of Ahsoka, anyone calling Andor slow can get outta town. I mean ... it was a good episode. Fun seeing Hayden back again, but it was literally just a dream sequence and we proceed to next location. Well executed, but...

True, and I still think the tabletop should mandate some time, not instantaneous like the game ... but there is something to the simplicity of BG3 doing away with hit dice and just getting half max HP back.

Specifically about 5e ... I do like that this is the most accessible version of DnD I've played (started with 3.5). Compared to 3.5 and 4e, the system plays faster and lighter and is way easier to manage. Less modifiers and lack of flanking means Theatre of the Mind works better here, I was...

Fun new animated short:

Before Mercer, Perkins was the first GM I watched doing live plays ... I quite liked the Acquisitions Incorporated series (though haven't kept up at all with it).

Storm King's Thunder 12 - 2 = 10 Tomb of Annihilation 24 The Wild Beyond the Witchlight 27 + 1 = 28 Tales from the Yawning Portal 29 Ghosts of Saltmarsh 41
