    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 DMG: Thoughts on the Sample Adventures

    I don't believe they were intended to be run by a new brand new GM, that's what the starter set type stuff is for. My understanding is these are meant to show off the procedure that was presented early in the chapter about how to turn an idea into an adventure. So they serve as examples of what...

    Planescape Rivarlies between Demon Lords, Archdevils and Celestial Paragons

    Can't give you much info on the lore, but as a topic it reminds me of something an author's talked about, they were writing a book series set during a war and initially thought that enemy army would provide plenty of enemies for the hero to face off against. But as they were writing the books...

In theory crafting Fireball will probably always outperform in a generic white room, but ironically there seems to be a lot more optimization potential for CO and so I do expect it to...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    I think it's a successor in how players are expected to approach playing the game moreso then the mechanics being very similar. With 3e things often felt constrained where if you wanted to do something you could only do it if you had the specific feat/ability that allowed you to do it, or had...

    D&D General Differences Between Limbo And The Far Realm?

    For me Limbo is chaos for chaos sake, whereas the Far Realms isn't chaotic, it's just so foreign/alien that it appears like chaos. For example, say you are organizing a bookshelf, in our world we would organize it alphabetically by author's last name. Limbo would just be completely random and...
