I would, but then I'd have the unequip my onion, and that is decidedly against the fashion of the time.

As someone currently working in corporate media and IP what they're doing now seems like a no brainer. I'm actually kinda shocked they weren't already operating in a franchise oriented model.

Moonshaes, Dalelands, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate and Calimshan

I find myself in a lot of casinos for work and I always remark to myself how weird it is there isn't a licensed D&D slot machine, especially since there's a thematic link between the dice used for D&D and the dice used for things like craps. I thought maybe it's because Hasbro wanted to keep the...

That's the thing though; climbing a cliff or fighting a mimic in combat, there are failure states. You take damage, you die. There are consequences for rolling low. If you try to bust open a door and fail, but you're allowed to try again until you succeed, what are the consequences? At that...

The door doesn't get to try to force you open in return, unless it's a mimic.

I know I'd be a bad parent because my philosophy as a DM is "a skill check represents you trying your best: your best wasn't good enough". If you think you can get a 20 on that theives tools roll to unlock the door, then you shoulda thought of that before you rolled the dice the first time...

I guess technically the Khoravar is new and exciting even if I want to think of it as a rehash of a 2014 PHB race

Wasn't the book slated to have five species, with the Khoravar? Did they cut it or are just conspicuously not featuring it?

I've had a lot of free time recently and I've spent a fair chunk of it thinking about d&d in the abstract: my homebrew campaign, forgotten realms lore, character builds, etc. D&D as a brand has good "market cap" on my brain, as it were But what I'm not thinking about are official wizards of...

The difference is that Eberron was explicitly created with the philosophy of "if it exists in d&d, it exists in Eberron". There is barely any lore attached to races in 5.5e anymore anyway, so their fey origin is pretty immaterial.

How were the goblin statblocks in any prior edition any more evocative of dhaakanii culture than what we have now?

I fail to see how the changes to goblins in 5.5 really substantively change anything about eberron. All the retcon implies is that rather than just kind of popping up randomly on the planet of eberron they came to it from one of the planes that has fairies, and then they built their empire. Not...

Could be a shifter but during 4e I remember Keith Baker saying that because Rakshasas were the dominant fiends of Khorvaire, most tieflings actually look like tiger people

And that's why we got "human but devil" and "human but angel" added to the 2024 PHB? And that's also assuming you don't consider dragonborn to be "human but dragon" and goliaths to be "human but giant".

I think "Roll initiative" or even "You must gather your party before venturing forth" might be more well known.

"Fool! I'd like to see you quit my MIND MAZE! Muahahahah!" Of course then you need the ability to actually trap him in a psionic maze. So work on that first. In all seriousness, for me D&D is just as much about hanging out with your friends as it is playing. Maybe he can still come over while...

While I don't work with WotC or PRH, by every definition these are what we in the publishing industry call "licensed tie-in novels." It's no different than like, IDK, that netflix movie Damsel having a tie-in novelization. They used to be a bigger part of the publishing industry, I worked for a...
