Discovering that something that looks and acts human is not in fact human is way more interesting than whatever benefit I was planning to get from charming or holding them.

The only traceable influence on modern DnD is previous DnD really. The rest is just, well, all the fantasy out there. I know it’s fun to draw all these lines and stuff, get up your conspiracy wall and yarn and make the connections, but maybe back in the 70s or early 80s you could, when the...

5e is the English of RPGs. Not only is it the most common, but I feel like it does pretty much have the ability to convey just about anything, with some work, borrowing from others. Like English, I think it’s complicated, with all the books both official and 3rd party, but not complex like...

I’ve stopped calling it, it never answers.

Late to the party here, but OMG is that for real? The planes stuff was the biggest waste of space in the 2014 DMG and they expanded it?!?! Two pages on the existence of them, and brief summary, but more than that? WTF really. Waste. Of. Space.

A whole heap of enemies I run, run away or surrender to preserve their lives. why do you need rules to do this? A whole host of the enemies I run will flee or surrender when it’s clearly not going well for them. Beasts will flee after even slight injury unless protecting young or clearly...

So your actual article isn’t on the front page of a google search about EGG, but some rando Reddit post about your article is? Wonderful algorithm they have going over there.

In 2025 I will only read books I already own but haven’t read yet. I’m going isolationist cheapskate for 2025. I will not read news, I will avoid making any purchases. Gonna pretend I’m alone in a winter cabin with just what I have, and no way out until 2026. Let’s assume plenty of food, so...

What I find wrong about everyone in [this forum] are their opinions about how things should be. What if instead of how things should be, we discussed all the possibilities of how things could be? Also, gonna admit, part of the problem.

I took “other”. “Because we tried something new and it was fun” strangely not an option. We’ve done a couple thing that we’re more and and less aspects of DnD in various ways. And didn’t so much stick with, but now do instead often. Because fun. I know “fun” isn’t super useful...

Are the new classifications of former humanoids logical? Like humanoids are all from the material plane and not mutated by anything, or at least not mutated by anything but gods? And fey from the Feywild, or shaped significantly by their shared time there? New abominations something changed...

I would hear about it, but in a much less irritating way, much like Spelljammer and Planescape. Once it gets done, the endless discussions on how to do it die away. It joins the long list of stuff some people think Wizards did wrong that gets much less traction than before they fix/ruin something.

Forgotten Realms adventures/setting books for kingdoms east and south of the sword coast slowly building out the continent step by step, year by year. Underdark setting guide. With min of 10 pages on building an underdark for your own setting, underdark principals. Dark Sun, just so I never...

A book akin to the Giants and Dragons books for aberrations, or maybe more like Volo’s. Also would accept combining with monstrosities. You know, a book with just, only, and dedicated to celebrating capital M, Monsters.

Moonshae Isles if you’re looking for a lower magic setting, I mean it’s still Fogotten Realms but the setting is arcane rare. www.dmsguild.com/product/248303/Moonshae-Isles-Regional-Guide Baldman Games has done some great stuff. that’s setting guide, which is really a greatly expanded take on...

I hear you, I’m in Montana, East coast ideas of remote or rural are comical….but they they have a cryptid in Jersey none the less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Devil So, given that in my universe, all imaginary animals are real, it’s NJ has a remote enough forest to support a cryptid.

What you want to play is Castles & Crusades it’s what everyone that wants to play DnD but wants it ito be slightly simpler and different wants to play but never does cause it’s old as dirt and people want new, but if it came out now, without all the decades of support it has and all monsters and...

Just for fun, next time one of my characters falls I’m gonna say, “you’ve fallen 13 feet, roll 5 times the square root of 13 divided by 4 d6s for damage” with as straight of a face as I can manage.

I didn’t read all previous posts, but minor illusion being a cantrip warps society as much as any thing. You’d live in a world where you could trust absolutely nothing that you see or hear because some jerk ass 1st level bard might be in the area.

This is crazy, would have thought much lower, there’s a lot of people there, but it’s huge, and no part of it (that I’ve been to) ever felt remotely densely populated. And for what it’s worth, I think Billings, MT wins for most middle of nowhere place in the continental US. It has a population...
