I've really wanted a high fantasy old west game that wasn't alternate history.

He absolutely should just make his own setting, with full control over it.

"We, at WotC, have formulated a new OGL to prevent content creators from making hateful material. Because we reserve the right to be the only one to create any kind of bad feelings in the community."

My rule on social media is, "if you like something, don't read the comments."

The big difference- I mean, the galaxy-sized enormously gigantic difference -between reactions to Hollywood properties and the reaction to this is that whenever there is a movie, series, or video game release, there's a ton of legitimate racist, sexist, homophobic response in social media...

The longer this goes on without official word and the more I read on here, on reddit, and the discord, the more exciting this cluster-f gets in the community. It's like slowing down to watch a car crash and realizing that a plane could crash into the car crash at any moment.

The one good thing I can say about this whole debacle is that I've never seen the community so united.

This whole thing reminds of when you get a new manager at your job who wants to change everything and screw up the entire operation, despite the fact that the existing workforce was running a top-rated shop. Everything is running at top efficiency, but why don't we mess things up in order to...

Something my current DM does a lot that I'm going to use next time I DM is making a lot of content auto-succeed or unlock simply based on proficiency. Trained in Arcane? You automatically get the lore. Trained in Survival? You automatically recognize that there are tracks at the scene. Trained...

Making a combat encounter, at the minimum, requires picking a handful of monsters out of the Monster Manual and running the mechanics they give you. Making a dungeon requires a lot of thought, planning, and probably making traps, set-pieces, rooms, puzzles, etc. The way you get people into...

My current DM is running our base like this. We opened a relationship with breeders in a nearby town, built a stable, and now everyone in the brotherhood is trained in Animal Handling, including new PCs. My psi war has mage hand and training everyone in telekinesis, now all members that have...

The current game I'm playing in features a brotherhood/militia/rotary club that has been built up and run the party and features a rotating cast of characters. Some solid stronghold rules could be exactly what we need.

Since 3.5 I've had mandragora as a human-sized plant race with song, sonic, and plant based features. There's a nightshade subrace that deals with poison, a luffa subrace that's more cactus-like and every subrace has a scream or song as a feature. It's weird how little the developers care to...

I really like shifters. I like Tabaxi. I like Tortles. I like the concept of Lizardfolk (the execution sucks). I like Tritons. I like Aarocokra. I like Kenku. I like Yuan-ti. I really, really feel like we don't need Ardlings. Stop trying to take everyone else's lunch.

I hope they ask about short rest duration in the playtest so I can tell them to go back to the 5 minute short rest. I worked great in 4e and after playing 5e for 8 years, 1 hour still feels bad and causes inter-party issues.

Holy Order is one of the worst kind of game designs IMO: take the option you want right away and at higher level when you're supposed to be more powerful, take the thing that you didn't really want the first time. I know if flies in the face of traditions and sacred cows, but I'd rather the...

Spirit guardians describes the spirits as "fliting around you." Please describe to me what the rules for flitting are.

I think it's an entirely suitable body shape for a human too. 🤷‍♂️
