Maybe you can make it so that it's more then just finding the Blood Guardian descendants and sacrificing them on the alter. Maybe first the Kids need to 'corrupt the bloodline' by killing another one of the Quora Tal. So for the King/Prince thing. First the King has to kill the Prince, now the...

I think your fine. The players will forget 90% of this stuff in a month or two. It'll go from "Molvek of the Armaranthine" To "Was it Molvey, or Mortey? From the what? Armageddon, Armament, or something?" Just have everyone delete whatever copy of the document they have and the players will...

So my "rode to D&D" (Which I haven't told anyone because I'm embarrassed about it) is probably not the norm, but I'm going to mention it to hopefully help everyone see what the actual scope of it is, or can be, at this point. As a kid I heard whispers of D&D but it was pretty much just a "White...

I remember someone from WotC (Nathan Steward?) saying that their spring release will no longer be locked in as an AP. That they don't want to be so predictable. I also remember Mearls saying that when they release a new setting they want it to be mechanically distinct and interesting. Not just...

Ay! I'm American and I do the same thing. It just looks cool and pretty. I can still picture red pen marks across all the U's on my essay papers from my English teachers trying to get me out of the habit. Well it didn't work Ms. Minutela, I'm armour for life!! My pet peeve might be a little...

What hasn't been mentioned at all yet is Twitch and Streaming and how it may impact 6E. 3 years ago you were lucky if there was 2 games on the D&D page and only Rollplay had more then 5 viewers, but today there is consistently a dozen games in the page, and even that is really impressive...

I know this thread is more about damage and optimization combos. But I just want to say that as a player the thing that freaked me out the most at a fundamental level was when a room full of zombies all grappled me. Just having the DM say "and hes going to attempt to grapple you" over and over...

I might be completely wrong about this. But I think I remember hearing that reason they're doing the DM/Player books is because it tested well with market research, and the fact they sold well just backed up that assumption. But I can't remember well enough to defend the statement. On why there...

I think it would be really hard to design characters like that. You're basically creating Category A puzzle piece, and Category B puzzle piece. So that would mean that you would have to take 'Woodsman' and put it with 'Sneaky', 'Tradesman', 'Acrobatic', and make sure that the pieces fit together...

Ok so really quick, I know a couple black players who had opinions on Chult and it was more or less the same opinion that the articles, and the few black people that posted on here had. They didn't feel like it was racists, at all. But they did say things like tone deaf, and lazy. Overall they...

I'm a fan of the countdown clock method for stuff like this. All you do is draw a clock with 4/6 slices, and have him roll his jeweler tools to fill in the slices, and once they're filled in, the job is done. And just say it costs 1/3/5 days of downtime to make a roll on the clock. A roll of...

Ya I can see how they would say that kinda stuff for every edition. But now I'm curious to ask you, since you've been reporting and seen all the edition shifts. Have you noticed any tell-tale signs that point to an edition shift? Like a dip or bump in quality, or maybe an increase or decrease in...

I actually really like the name list in the book. I'm sure it speaks to both my lack of D&D experience and lack of creativity, and I'm actually a little embarrassed to admit it, but I literally never once considered naming my character anything other then a fantasy name, an English name, or a...

I think its less about that one specific conversation he heard that one time, and more about it prompting WotC to consider cost to entry and what it might imply to potential players to allow all/X number of books. Even just making it PHB +2 implies that if you want to take full advantage of your...

Mike Mearls did an interview on Nerdarchy a couple of days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld6bS3ptYws He talks about the PHB +1 thing and the reason they did it was because he remembers at a Con, he overheard a couple of people saying how cool the game looked but that it looked too...

I'm reading through this thread and it's astonishing how much similarity and overlap there is between finding a player and finding a date. But also, it makes perfect sense.

Adam Koebel hosts a roundtable discussion with Matthew Mercer, Mike Mearls, and Matt Colville on the popular tabletop ruleset: D&D 5th Edition! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqjLO6YNKV0 This looked interesting to me and I didn't see anyone post or talk about it here yet.

Yes, The Director of D&D Nathan Steward has said they are working on different setting stuff on his Twitch show 'Fireside Chat.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6XqKdZZJKc&t=2506s 41:20 He promises they are working on stuff and point out all the different home game settings WotC are current...

It's so funny and interesting because in my head I always imagined a Kenku would cast spells using different bird songs. So Fireball would be a roosters crowing, and Healing Word is a nightingale song, stuff like that. And when it comes to talking I always imagined them being able to speak...

If you want to replicate an Indiana Jones Character, then you should consider just allowing the Rogue Thief to use the Whip with Fast Hands and Second-Story Work. It replicates all the Tool stuff you want to replicate with the Whip Feat, and the Damage issue is moot because Sneak Attack. Or at...
