There is already a Mistborn TTRPG, but it has a pretty strange system. I’m personally glad that they found a way to represent the magic systems of both Stormlight and Mistborn.

When I moved in 2021, there was a period of a couple of weeks where our boxes hadn’t been delivered and we had no internet. To avoid dying of boredom, I decided to go to the local book store and on a whim bought the first 3 books of the Stormlight Archive. It took a while for me to get hooked on...

From my understanding, if a platform receives a DMCA complaint and they don’t comply within a certain amount of time, they can become legally liable for the copyright infringement. So companies like YouTube generally comply instead of spending the time and resources it takes to check if the DMCA...

Interesting and good to know. Thanks for the response. I’m sorry that you and other YouTubers are having to deal with WotC’s mistake.

From the PackTactics videos I’ve seen, WotC told them they were allowed to discuss the book’s contents but were warned not to show the book’s pages. Was this warning not sent out to all the YouTubers?

And I can’t say something positive about the 2024 rulebooks or any of the post-Tasha’s books without people disagreeing with me or insisting that the rule change I like is actually a sign the game is being ruined. I seem to recall you doing this often. People have different opinions and you’re...

Yeah, but that’s not how they were in 5e. I would enjoy that too, but I still prefer the catch all Rend over the previous system’s implementation.

I personally like the move away from separate attacks that just deal different types of physical damage. It opens up space for more interesting actions/attacks and as a DM I can easily say “this rend is using its tail, so it deals bludgeoning damage instead of piercing.” Coming up with fun...

Sure. That is absolutely not true. The internet is practically fueled by outrage and negativity.

Chris Perkins was passionate about Spelljammer. Jeremy Crawford has appeared very passionate about the rule updates in all of his recent videos about the 2024 core books. I’m sure the people working on Planescape, Dragonlance, and the recent adventure compilations were passionate about their...

Do you seriously have to harp about how much you hate current D&D lore in every thread like this? Why is your first reaction to me saying “I like this lore change, I think it fits better,” “I think this sucks, clearly WotC is removing all our precious slavery lore, and I’m sure you like that.”...

I’m glad they removed the lore of them being former Mind Flayer slaves. We already have enough of those in D&D. Their backstory lore is now more similar to Aboleths than Gith/Duergar/Grimlocks/Derro, which I think makes sense.

The Dungeon Dudes' interview with Crawford was great. I haven't watched the other videos. While I have been disappointed by some of the changes and largely didn't think it went far enough to fix the game's problems, I am still interested in seeing some of the updates, especially the variety of...

The reason why the Fairy is small isn’t to “leave things open for a tiny fey later.” It’s for the same reason why none of the big races (Minotaurs, Centaurs, Goliaths, Firbolg) are Large even if it would make sense for them to be/their monster equivalents are Large. It’s because 5e is not...

I have never had this problem. I tend to have NPCs react to magic and spellcasters in ways I think make sense for their culture/society/religion. It varies between setting, but I use the general rule that most magic is seen as a powerful weapon or tool, but there are taboo types (enchantment and...

On the subject of half-species, I was glad to see them removed as full races, just because I felt that only supporting Half-Elves and Half-Orcs, and not any of the other potential hybrids (Half-Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings, etc) was weird and opened up too many questions. To me the “you can be...

I am disappointed by most of the changes to the races. I thought that the UA was a promising start, but wanted them to do more. Wizards of the Coast has a strange habit of creating cool new systems for mechanics and then either forgetting about them a couple books down the line (lineages...

This is the internet, so I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Narcissist’s Prayer: While this scenario is a bit different (Gygax isn’t using these excuses, his supporters are), I can’t help but see the similarities in how the “pro-Gygax” side is arguing. It started out with Robert...

Excellent finale. While this season had some great episodes, it did feel weaker overall compared to the last season. The last 2 episodes really helped the overall season and I’m looking forward to the story rapping up in the next season and Gen V season 2.

Apep/Apophis from Egyptian mythology is a giant snake, embodiment of chaos, and nemesis of Ra.
