I’m not playing 2024 DnD but I could tell you what I’m taking from it for my homebrew ruleset. But maybe “what rules at you taking from 2024 D&D for your 2014 or other 5e games?” would be better as its own thread.

I was wondering if it was something like that. I have the original Ravenloft module and have skimmed it, but have never read CoS and I only played two sessions of a CoS campaign before having to drop out and that never came up. Thanks.

Okay, take two. . . I am not caught up yet but I had a question about this scene where the party first meets Strahd. So they leave at the crack of dawn. . . 30 to 40 minutes later (so very early morning after dawn) they run into Strahd? He can stand out in the daylight?

I've been into anchovies, banana peppers, pineapple and red onion on my pizza lately.

Some people really seem to believe that requiring buy-in for an RPG or campaign conceit is some kind of design flaw.

Maybe the rulership is a Triumverate? Like a merfolk, a sea elf, and a koalinth. Or different representations after each seat's individual succession war.

Early and often.

I think the degree to which alignment has a mechanical aspect should depend on the setting not the generic edition ruleset. I happen to like some mechanical heft to alignment, so I reintroduced it on the Law/Chaos axis in my Vanity Frankenstein 5E homebrew project, borrowing my take from the...

I know nobody asked me, but I think the Book of Many Things would have been more helpful to me if: It actually included the base rules for the item and the effects of each card as printed in the DMG to avoid having to reference both books at once. It provided 4 or so options or variants for...

:oops: I'm glad that worked out for you but it makes me even sadder that some of the replacement cards it took them nearly 4 months to send me, while were not warped out of the box, are now just about a year later, warped enough to affect shuffling and laying in a clean pile. :(

This thread is making me realize that I need to give this book more of a chance. I think just the disappointment of not finding what I expected and finding it hard to navigate made me too easily dismiss some of the cool ideas within.

I just recently used it in prepping an adventure and decided I was disappointed in it. Not because it is necessarily bad (though I had to get replacement cards from WotC and the new cards eventually warped too) but because it was not what I wanted it to be and seemed to be missing some basic...

In my "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign, resurrection magic was severely restricted and came with consequences, so when a beloved member of the party was killed and the party found a magical item that could raise him, the party decided to do so even though they did not know the cost for each of...

You said it. I didn’t. I literally said the opposite.

C’mon man. I know your reading comprehension is better than that.

My all-time favorite D&D book.
