    Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks Is Talking About AI in D&D Again

    I think there's two different factors here. On the one hand, yes, Chris Cocks wants to integrate GenAI into D&D somehow so that he can either charge people for a service or pay fewer people to make stuff, perhaps both. On the other hand, he is clearly spewing nonsense about how he runs his...

    Chris Cocks sure is living up to his surname, huh?

    D&D 5E (2024) 5e24 MM concept art

    To be fair it seems that what a pit fiend looks like has been radically different every edition. Honestly I'm pretty partial to the one in the Tales of the Valiant Monster Vault though I don't have a link for it handy.

    Oddly the pit fiend in the book doesn't use that style.

    D&D 5E (2024) Undersized Performance from Gargantuan Monsters?

    The image of the Tarrasque in the Monster Manual (2025) would indicate that it would be impossible to even attack the Tarrasque with a melee weapon unless you were basically in one of the squares it occupies. The reason it's reach isn't longer is that it would basically have to double over like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    That's one of the reasons I hate the Planescapey urge to make the Outer Planes infinite. How do you map infinity? Especially when they can canonically consume parts of other planes that match their alignment too strongly; just say they get bigger over time as needed.

    D&D 5E (2024) What old monsters should return to 5e?

    You mean simurgh? Edit: Never mind apparently senmurv is an alternate name for it. I thought it was a typo. :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    I think you can play it with a lot more freedom, but it's not written in a way that truly facilitates that. It helps that I've seen some really good actual plays of it, including one DMed ENWorlder @Burnside The behind-the-scenes issues were definitely part of it. Like it originally had nothing...

    The association isn't the only thing stripped in this image.

    D&D 5E (2024) Undersized Performance from Gargantuan Monsters?

    Why do you think siege monsters deal extra damage to structures and objects? Elephants and polar bears are animate creatures. They don't stand still and let the tarrasque eat them. Even then a Critical Hit will drop them in one.

    D&D 5E (2024) What old monsters should return to 5e?

    To be fair I would like official versions if for no other reason than getting some half decent art of them.

    D&D 5E (2024) What old monsters should return to 5e?

    All ten Archdukes and many other denizens of hell get stats in the Chains of Asmodeus adventure on DM's Guild.

    D&D 5E (2014) What PC species should return for 5ed?

    I really don't think the Custom lineage would work for a Shardmind.

    D&D General Would the oceans of silt in Dark Sun blow up a lot of dust into the atmosphere? Would we be choking on dust or would the sun be blotted out?

    Despite the name the Silt in Dark Sun isn't really the same thing as silt in real geology. It's more like 'what if water was made of dust instead of water'

    D&D 5E (2014) What PC species should return for 5ed?

    I mean only because a Paladin-Monk would be very multi-ability dependent.

    D&D 5E (2014) What PC species should return for 5ed?

    Really? They say Ass-imar in Baldur's Gate 3.

    D&D 5E (2024) What old monsters should return to 5e?

    I was referring to the ones in Morte's Planar Parade: Mustival, Equinal, Avoral, Warden, Lantern, Hound. Edit: Oops beaten to the punch.

    I mean... three of each is a start right?

    D&D 5E (2024) What old monsters should return to 5e?

    There's quite a few Spelljammer monsters that I wish got an official update. Yitsans Contemplators,, bio-noids, monitors, witchlight marauders and lakshu would be my top picks. Some extraplanars, like bladelings, nullfiers, hekotoncheires, and Morwel and her court. High level threats like...
