    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    One last minor thing to add - The "City" of Shangore - a floating, sprawling shantytown just off the main coast. Its raucous piers are littered with taverns that smell of rum and resound with sea shanties. A popular profession is that of the Pearl Divers, who dare the monster-infested depths...

    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    Understood. I'm off to develop on my thoughts for this. It's too good for me to lose on pouncing on it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    I really like this - the "Center" of the universe becomes the Elemental Chaos, and as "Anchors" appear, worlds/plane crystalize into reality. These realities move further outward from the center (storms, chaos and wild magic) as they "crystalize" or are tamed. The Outer Planes (excepting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    Wasn't meant as a clock or metaplot - just an action point, something just kinda going on the background. PCs could encounter collapsing realities and attempt to save them or exploit them before they vanish. At higher levels, they may get targetted by someone who wants to steal or destroy...

    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    How about this - beings of level 1-10 are fairly common in the various realms, but each reality (beyond the outer planes) has one or more "anchor being" of 11th+ level (and at least one of 20th level). If this anchor being dies, that reality (slowly) fades out of existence unless some powerful...

    D&D 5E (2014) Us Building a "Fundamentally 5E" Setting From Scratch Together

    Planar airships are the primary way different city-states send and receive goods, with the Gith(yanki) having a stranglehold control on the legal movement (and taxation thereof) of goods and enforces it with their Red Dragon patrols. This has led to pirating, the greatest of who is Greenbeard...

    Dungeons & Dragons Teases New Campaign Settings

    I'm up for a Dark Waters style swashbuckling and sword & sorcery campaign with muskets, dark magic and flying ships.

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    I'd put it more likely as a Bigby's / Fizban style book, and my money would be on Aberrations (though I'd prefer to see an Undead one myself like Liber Mortis).

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    After reading the comments here, I agree the PDK is a miss as it currently stands. It could be a great Fighter pet class with a name change and a small bit of work, and the PDK should be something else completely. (And they really blew it not making a fun Harper subclass after the release of...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    I think this is the biggest point here, and something they mentioned in recent videos. The big reason the short adventures stopped being profitable was that so many were being pumped out in rapid succession. People didn't have time to breathe or run a module before the next three were being...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    As a side note, Dwellers is essentially a part of Tomb of Annihilation.

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    Despite my snark, while adventure compilations like Quests from the Infinite Staircase and Tales from the Yawning Portal are really useful because you can lift small chunks for a night or three's gaming, it's still a hit to the pocketbook to be buying a book that you might only use 1 out of 5...

    Why Dungeons & Dragons Isn't Putting Out a Campaign Book in 2025

    Translated - "We couldn't think up a good FR world-shaking event so we're just going to remix books for the next year or so, because everyone wants refreshed existing material because their old books spontaneously caught on fire and can't be used - though everything is totally compatible with...

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    I don't know about anybody else, but I really dislike the name/mechanics of the 20th level Genie Paladin's ability. If it's going to be called Minor Wish, I think it should actually be a lesser version of Wish - In this case, the ability to use any spell off anyone's spell list of 4th level or...

    D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book

    Heck, I'd put Legends of the 5 Rings and 7th Sea up there in the same vein (less history, more fantasy). It can be done, just WotC doesn't want to touch it.

    D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book

    Oh, there's an upside. People would buy them, WotC would make money. They'd just have to be willing to plant their feet at the "there's no such thing as bad press". But I don't think they have the fortitude for that, they seem to want to be everybody's friend, even when there's already...

    New Unearthed Arcana Released, With 8 New Forgotten Realms-Themed Subclasses

    Agreed. I'd personally make it a feat chain that you can abandon at any time if you don't want to keep pumping upgraded abilities into it. Or we could, y'know just go Old Skool and buy/find the darn thing and use the actual Animal Handling skill rather than tie it to feat or subclass.
