I don't know, whoever said Halrua ship in Chult sounded pretty on the mark for me. Especially if it's going to include a dragon from ToD. For certain there'll be a conversion guide saying it's perfect for Eberron though.

Indeed. Say what you will about Prestige Classes, the interesting thing to me is how they might fold "Rune Magic" into a full artificer class for an Eberron book, and then also have the prestige class for more traditional settings.

I had one I refluffed into a Cronenbergian little thing I grew out of my brain (not as monstrous as an I.Devourer) that I quite liked. Overall I just didn't understand why crystals = psionics other than as a new agey kinda thing, but that fits just fine with regular magic too. How's that...

As a fan of psionics, I think I would like a telepath, psychokineticist, and even the nomad to have distinct feels, and a psychic warrior perhaps as a separate class (or subclass of fighter, etc), but also, as a fan of psionics, I'd like something more akin to the 2e take (but better balanced!)...

I'm not a fan of the Far Realms being locked in either, and the name hasn't grown on me, but I felt the different "subclasses" were a good start to fit in the base class along with a more psychic warrior type. Not there, but a good start. I'm not opposed to maybe one more psionic class (or...

I liked the general take a lot. But I wasn't crazy about some things, like the name, and some of the specific implementation. But it sounds like they understood that, so I'm excited to see what it looks like in November(hopefully).

Mearls just tweeted it'd be today or tomorrow.

If it's anything like PotA there may be a chapter somewhere with "sidequests" to help get parties up to the level where the main adventure storyline begins. Which is the best way to do it I think, since it doesn't require you level down your group if you perhaps like to run games outside of a...

Please no "Kids from the real world thrust into a magical setting" Honestly, it just makes the setting less believable and able to buy into if you've got all these "real world" characters talking about how this matches all the fake stuff they know. It's either "Hey a dragon! Wow, I can't...

Given that it'll probably be set in the realms, I say bring on the Star Wars cantina vibe. Or rather, make Waterdeep a medieval Xandar from Guardians of the Galaxy. I.e. Maybe you don't have many Max Rebos hanging about (please don't, in fact), but you have a few humanoids with blue skin (or...

Vin Diesel as Minsc. That one's easy to cast.

The Lego movie was made for children, but with enough smarts and good enough that adults could also enjoy the hell out of it. A D&D movie should be made for... 14 to 35 year olds let's say, but accessible enough that younger kids will also enjoy it (they're going for blockbuster here, so it'll...

Yeah, please don't put in a meta "kids around the table" plot. They've gone too campy and failed before to try and pull off The Lego Movie with this one. Also, they're selling the brand with this, not the ttrpg. They keep saying they want to make it all about stories, and that works for me...

I second the small beginning, probably a heist movie. There is a precedent for this in Fantasy... Don't bring in the big MacGuffins immediately. This is a franchise, start small and assume you can get to the really epic stuff later. Don't reveal there's a larger metaplot with the macGuffin until...

That makes sense. I expect they'll at least try to not have the same subject repeated from one month to the next. Unless they're trying to get something ready to go in a supplement, but given the release schedule that's unlikely, and would also presumes they'd put that much effort into...

I'm confused; so your comment was that they shouldn't try to playtest highly contentious subjects that a lot of people are clamoring for, just because there are some people that don't like the subject? What should UA articles be for then? I thought the whole idea was that UA was for optional...

Interesting that there wasn't a survey question on what you thought of the term "mystic." Maybe Mearls is pretty attached to that. Wonder how much that'll show up or get paid attention to in the comments section.

What if they sidebar the idea that "Psionics aren't different"? Because that would make me happy, since the default keeps psionic mechanics and spell mechanics as different, and lets you have it your way with an optional rule. If you're proposed route makes everybody happy, doesn't the...

As much as it doesn't really bother me that the Far Realm is baked into the first two paragraphs of the "Otherworldly Power" section of What is Psionics, I really like the last two paragraphs where it talks about psionics being more common in campaign worlds where the "bonds of reality" have...

I can understand your dislike, but I'm ok with it. It's easy enough to say your campaign doesn't follow the lore set out for the D&D "Brand" They already have the Weave explicitly called out in the phb; I'll probably ignore that in any homebrew setting I develop. I did like how the fluff they...
