Dungeon Delver's Guide sounds cool. Exploration rules (regions & challenges) is largely my favorite part of A5E, so the more the merrier on that front. Everything else is icing on the cake. :) Interest mildly piqued by unnamed scifi book. I love scifi, but I'm of the opinion that it's always...

So true, and lmao. Did we finally get an answer to this one? I don't remember reading anything about encounters per adventuring day in the books. Refresh my memory if you would.

Great writeup Noodohs. I don't agree with everything, but I do on a lot of stuff. A few points to discuss: Spell Inventions I really think you're onto something here. A schematic each time you level up feels a bit artificial but at the same time it'd give the artificer a feeling of unlocking...

I to really like the new artificer, it's a marked improvement in just core design and function over the o5e one. I can only imagine the ideas the designers have for future subclasses. I for one am happy that D&D finally has an alchemical bomber again. I've seriously missed that archetype. I'll...

I'm not very familiar with the Tymantheran area of the Realms, sounds like a piece of the other continent that collided with Faerun during the era of 4th edition D&D, before it moved again but large chunks of it remained. Look at at the Origins table on page 25, Imperial does seem to fit quite...

That's a great idea. :)

I've always personally thought that explosives & firearms should deal at least partial force damage. Largely because IRL, it usually isn't the explosion or the bullet that kills you, it's the pressure wave that shreds your soft internal organs.

This maneuver is Legolas sniping the orc on the back of a warg that nobody else has even noticed yet in Two Towers.

I think like most new TTRPGs, it's just a matter of getting experience with the system and how it works before we can confidently homebrew. Though a page (or even partial-page blurb) in T&T would be super helpful. And yea, I'd love to bring some classes from Pathfinder over. It would be easier...

The update is an improvement, but I agree with Kinematics who did the research. Only 1 spell in the entire game for Int or Wis (and none for Cha) means this is a major oversite by the developers. Hopefully they are aware of that and will make a change.

I made huge use of the (Not So Complete) Tome of Spells over the years as a GM Faolyn. From outfitting ancient enemies with these exotic spells - exotic to players new to 5e, I'm old school - to handing them out as rare scrolls found in forgotten dungeons, to including them in the spellbooks of...

Lol I don't have any real specifics just yet RangerWickett. It's mostly an idea I have brewing in the back of my mind while I'm running other things. I have a feeling it won't fully solidify as a campaign plot until I have the Zeitgeist book in hand and get a real feel for the setting.

It doesn't really use keywords to the same extent as PF2e, but it's a better choice than o5e simply because of it's greatly expanded exploration tier. As I mentioned, it uses a trackable metric called Supply that is an amalgam of food & water, an expanded selection of activities a PC can perform...

No, because it's a feature, not a damage rider.

I somewhat agree, the names don't inform on the types of maneuvers in each group quite as well as perhaps the writers hoped. That said, we're all still new to the game, I think down the road players will have that stuff down so when players make a new character and see the maneuver groups they...

Yea I've been wanting to run a Dark Sun campaign for ages, but after playing o5e's Tomb of Annihilation - by far the most 'survival based, hex crawl' o5e adventure, but with a Druid & Ranger, survival became a distant tertiary part of that game lol. I realized that if I was going to be able to...

That's my impression as well lichmaster. I was initially disappointed that feats are still tied to ASI. But there are so many choices to make, and feats have been toned down so much, they don't serve the same purpose they once did. Same thing with +1/+1 ability score during character creation...

Or a weapon with the dual-wielding trait. :)

PF2e is my jam... my go to d20 fantasy game. But I have people in my 'circle of players' who aren't really fans of it because of it's increased complexity and over-all 'crunchiness'. But many of these people also want more depth & choice for their characters both in creation, when leveling up &...

Feats are toned down a lot it seems, since o5e used them as a way to add customization to your character, and that's not a problem in a5e. So a houserule that gives a free feet at level 1 should be fine. That said, there's not really as much of a need for it. You get lots of choices and...
