    When Do the 5E “Ride or Die” Folks Become Grogs Like The Rest of Us in “D&D Older Editions” And When Do We Get D&D 5E Flair for Posts?

    Hi Phat, Again, it is as if we are communicating using different languages. Let's take the Drow as an example. As a Drow, a character receives: 120' Darkvision Advantage on STs to end the Charmed condition. Proficiency in Insight, Perception, and Survival. The freedom from having to sleep and...

    Howdy Phatt, I sure hope you are able to get whatever books that you want soon...and I hope that you find a group to game with! Whoever told you that about races did not give you correct information. So, apart from ability score bonuses being moved from race to background, races/species...

    PHAT Sakk, I read your earlier post where you said something similar. I was confused then and I am confused now. I have the new PHB and the new DMG and I have read through all of the PHB and parts of the DMG. Races are part of character creation and by selecting a race/species one gets various...

    They do not appear, unfortunately. Here's hoping for their inclusion in a different book.

    Likewise, great post, and I appreciated this background on your thinking behind your posts. Much of what you just wrote I agree with. In fact, just a few posts up, before you wrote this, I was remarking that knowing what books Wizards were planning to publish in the net 3-5 years could help...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    I was reading the new DMG last night, Deganawida. It is very well written. Very well organized. I would say it continues the tone of the new PHB. It would be neat to know what Wizard's three-to-five year plan might be for releases. If, for example, they are planning (or actively developing) a...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    Have you seen the trailer for A Complete Unknown, which comes out on Christmas? There is a line in it where a character is asking Bob Dylan about why he is so evasive about his past, and he says, "People make up their past, Sylvie, they remember what they want; they forget the rest." I heard...

    I've lived through it all, Micah. All of it. It was not a golden age. It was just a period of time when there were fewer people who had the metaphorical stick up their rears.

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    It's funny, Crimson, because I feel the opposite. It's very affective for me. Ever since I got introduced to D&D when I was six, I have loved the game. I loved playing. I loved reading the books. I loved the smell of the books. Heck, I still like the smell of the books. I picked up my new DMG...

    From page 173 of the 2024 DMG: Other Configurations For your campaign, you can use a different model of the planes. Here are several examples: Planes situated among the roots and branches of a great cosmic tree (literally or figuratively) Material realms suspended between two other realities...

    D&D General The 2024 PHB is the best Player's Handbook ever

    I thought I'd actually take you up on that and I started to read some of your posts from the last few months; I quickly realized that I was actually rereading them and that I had given almost all of them positive reactions. (y)

    D&D General The 2024 PHB is the best Player's Handbook ever

    After reading through the new PHB again and making a few new characters using the character creation rules, I thought I would share here my enthusiasm for the 2024 revision. I am very impressed with it. I was not really looking for anything like Weapon Masteries, but I like the additional...
