:) Also, it is a great thing that Wizard's does for the game stores as it drives revenue there.

Me too. I was pretty sure I was going to pass on getting this, but when I think about the exploration of the Keep and short adventures centered around a book, that would be great for using for a new group of people unfamiliar with the game that I have been meaning to bring on board. A bunch of...

Ha ha! Well done. I didn't realize that you were serious last week. :D

I was hoping for D&D stats for Elf on the Shelf, the Keebler Elves, the Muppets, the Smurfs, and the Care Bears after 2020. Maybe the Four Horsemen could skip this present generation. :D

This is an awesome post. And, as Mannahni mentioned, if you download the 5e rules for free, you can do all this for free. The only thing that I would add, CCS, is that I think the default halfling class should be rogue. If you did this and keep feats and multi classing out, as you mention, then...

Happy New Year, Mike. Thank you for another jam-packed year of mythological figures. :)

Happy holidays! I got the Essentials Kit for the family of my daughter's best friend who started playing with us a year ago and in going through it I was struck how it felt like Basic D&D, which was my first version of D&D. It is true that races are still only races and do not also function as a...

At my table, combat was definitely faster in 1st edition and 2nd edition and in Basic D&D. 5th edition at our table is much faster than 4th edition, which had combats that were interminable. When I am DMing (in 5th edition), I simply try to determine the relative importance of the combat to the...

Holy Smokes! That's awesome! Thanks!

Gotcha! Thanks.

Wow, Mike, thanks, I was just about to create her for my campaign. One question. I was going to use the Enworld Noble class (from the Masterclass Codex volume). I have seen you use the Enworld classes in the past...any reason you decided to forego Noble class for the Virgin Queen?

Thank you for providing me with quite a chuckle this morning. :D

Interesting perspective, Crit. From my perspective, I simply see so many people having fun with the game as is...I don't really see the advantage of making a change like that. I guess I'm a bit conservative, but there was a time when the paladin was a subclass of the cavalier. Then, the paladin...

Yup, I do/done that.

Bill Maher has a segment on Real Time called "I Don't Know It For a Fact, I Just Know That It's True" in which he wraps his cultural and political criticism in far-fetched observations. I have no criticism to offer here, but after reading Tasha's and listening to the recent interviews with...

Sorry to hear that, Bed Rock. Losing someone suddenly can be especially difficult.

The book is a very good book that has been highly play tested. It is well written and well-designed. The art isn't really my cup of tea, but I don't expect every book to meet my aesthetic tastes. I would think that any D&D 5th edition player would regard this as an exciting book to have and use...

Mine were Spelljammer, Dark Sun, and Mystara.

Hmmm...not among my players...or those who congregate at the couple local hobby shops I frequent. It seems to be easily understood that as the creator or manager of the fantasy world, the DM gets to pick which races, subclasses, and so forth are permitted. The same for which optional rules in...
