    D&D 5E (2014) Epic Monsters: White Rabbit

    Given my profile pic, I feel obligated to comment: nice job Mike...another fun stat for a character that hops through popular imagination. I look forward to each new entry every week.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ability Score Increases (I've changed my mind.)

    It is unusual (although not unique) to see someone revisit his or her opinions, and admit to a change in how one looks at something...both in life in general, but especially on Internet forums. My Hatmatter hat is off to you, M. Gibster for such honesty and follow-through.

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    I agree with this observation concerning Wizards, Reynard. Also, I was always a bit surprised at how strongly the Monster Manual, Volo's Guide, and Modenkainen's Tome lean into the graphic depiction of horrific demons and devils. It certainly doesn't appear to be the visual aesthetic of a...

    What podcasts do you listen to (and why?)

    Hard Rain & Slow Trains: Bob Dylan & Fellow Travelers: music in meaningful playlists with thoughtful commentary that is delivered in a way that respects the medium. I listen to DragonTalk but I do not think it is as good anymore. I liked it when the game designers were on and had interesting...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: 5 D&D Settings In Development?

    How awesome would a well-developed war game compliment to a D&D campaign setting be?

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans Only

    That sounds really cool. You are probably well aware of it, but the 2nd edition PHB HR5, Glory of Rome, might provide additional ideas. I have not read it, so I do not know, but I draw from A Mighty Fortress (PHB HR4) for some ideas for my campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans Only

    I am actually DM-ing such a campaign, set in 16th century England right now. The magic and D&D elements enter the game through the encroachment of the Feywild. I never really approached it as an "all human" campaign, as I did have an aasimar and brownie (I created the 5th edition racial specs at...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: 5 D&D Settings In Development?

    It could be assumed that...except that Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford on Dragon Talk over the last five or six years, when discussing Crystal Spheres, have not shown a predilection for dramatically altering the D&D cosmology in such a way. People have mentioned Van Richten’s Guide as a...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: 5 D&D Settings In Development?

    This is well said. I agree. I love running an adventure that has the characters visit the planes and I also love running Spelljammer. And, I think combining them could be wonderful. But, they occupy their own distinct flavors so they should be handled separately for those who do not want to...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: 5 D&D Settings In Development?

    I really, really like the Spelljammer setting.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Mages of Strixhaven

    That is a very good idea for at least a warlock subclass...I hadn't thought of that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    My friend, this thread needs some good will big time...big time. Please continue to "hijack" it with more of the same!

    D&D 5E (2014) Two New D&D Books Revealed: Feywild & Strixhaven Mage School

    I very much like this ecosystem. One of the greatest appeals of D&D for me has always been its applicability across many D&D settings. I lived through the many settings of D&D in the 2nd edition era and I loved it. I really like this 5th edition approach to it. And, as I am continuing to read...

    My favorite seasons are later on..probably season 7.

    The Real Greatest TV Shows of All Time

    Hi Blue, Like most spin-offs, one can derive more from it if one is familiar with the original because of the nods to Breaking Bad and because of directions you know that characters are headed, but it stands on its own as well. Perhaps it would even be interesting to watch as a prequel of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    This is wonderful, ph0rk, thank you for taking the time to type this out and contribute. What a wonderful example. It seems like this is how it should work. Unless a character is under a Haste spell or something like that, anything else would approach computer game-type action. Also, it provides...

    The Real Greatest TV Shows of All Time

    I only made it through season 3 of Better Call Caul so far, but it is outstanding for sure.

    The Real Greatest TV Shows of All Time

    This show is so unbelievably good. I just finished a rewatch a couple months ago and, every time I do that, I am stunned at how good it is. I am one of those people who love the final season. "The Bells" in season 8 works better and better for me each time I watch the build-up through the...
