    D&D General Hey, are we all cool with having to buy the same book twice, or what?

    You whip out the Google Doc copy/paste documents of the books you wisely made years ago from your Beyond account in anticipation of this event. These also have the benefit of being easy to annotate and tweak for personal use.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your favorite third party (including 'amateur' homebrew) classes and subclasses?

    I haven’t seen that one, but Mage Hand Press made a coffee domain cleric, too. Now I have to compare them! https://mfov.magehandpress.com/2019/02/coffee-domain.html?m=1

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 best adventurers league modules for a Phandalin sandbox

    The adventure “In Volo’s Wake” takes place in and around Phandalin.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your favorite third party (including 'amateur' homebrew) classes and subclasses?

    The Noble class published by EN5ider has a good warlord feel to it. I’m playing a tactician Noble and love it. EN5ider has put out a number of classes and archetypes over the years. Some of the classes I like more than others. The Noble is definitely my favorite, and the cardcaster, fatebender...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    The very recently released Underworld Players Guide (published alongside the newly released Empire of the Ghouls adventure/campaign) has a drow write-up in it. They exist, but are much rarer than in regular campaign worlds. Like you mention, the ghouls have thinned them out a lot. They’re...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    Midgard is a bit of a darker world, in line with Grimm’s fairy tales more than Disney’s. It has interesting takes on magic that aren’t present in other settings, like fey roads, gods taking multiple masks across cultures, and a stronger presence of clockwork magic than the other two mentioned...

    D&D 5E (2014) Temple of Elemental Evil is the next Original Adventures Reincarnated

    Have Goodman Games started doing better “conversions?” I took a look at their first one (Keep on the Borderlands, iirc) and remember thinking and seeing confirmed elsewhere that it was just a 1:1 stat block change from the original. If the original said there were 8 goblins in a room, the new...

    WotC 5E 2020 Book Clue - I need your help!

    Surely not another brand new setting book. We’ve just gotten a slew of those in the last year or two, and hardly any adventures. It’s gotta be an adventure, a dm facing book like Volo’s, or a player facing book like Xanathar’s. My money’s on some sort of adventure that gets into politics in a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Book (printed) Recommendations?

    Mage Hand Press’s Dark Matter book is an excellent sci-fantasy add-on to 5e, with a few new races, archetypes, a new class, archetypes for other classes they’ve published, and a bunch of great sci-fi items, space ships, monsters, etc. It’s completely compatible with regular 5e, only adding 3...

    D&D 4E Edition Experience - Did/Do You Play 4th Edition D&D? How Was/Is it?

    4e was my introduction to playing D&D. I had played CRPGs like Neverwinter Nights that were based on older editions (and loved them), but that didn’t exactly introduce me to the mechanics or the “sitting around a table together” dynamic. As my first experience with D&D, perhaps it’s easier for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Boring?

    I really like the Dungeon of the Mad Mage Companion by Wyatt Trull on DMs Guild. It adds an overarching narrative, gives Halaster a little more “face” time, and treats the characters as stars of a TV game show. It also comes up with a bunch of ideas to flesh things out so they’re less empty...

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcana of the Ancients, in my hands!

    The items in there would be good for use in a sci-fi game without all the restrictions that are intended to make them interesting for a fantasy game. Settings/5e ports like Dark Matter, Esper Genesis, Hyperlanes, Spaceships and Starwyrms, Lasers and Liches, etc. might make great fits.

    Critical Role Explorer's Guide to Wildemount Review

    Don’t forget Ravnica, too. I somewhat enjoy reading about other settings, but I enjoy adventure and character options more. I’m ready for another official adventure path/campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon + is (probably) coming this or next week... and with it the next D&D book announcement

    So the next issue is now out (about a month after OP’s prediction), and I don’t think it mentions Kate Welch or her project at all. Everyone who voted for disappointment wins!

    D&D 5E (2014) Lets talk about getting rid of "recover all spell slots on a long rest"

    This is what I was assuming as well. To that end, I was thinking of a potential solution. I have not implemented this and don’t know if I will - I just thought of it while reading this thread. At the end of a long rest, the caster regains spell slots whose levels add up to the caster’s total...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Subclasses Part III: Artificer, Druid, and Ranger

    You seriously couldn’t think of the name for the ring artificer? Come on. It’s gotta be Lord of the Rings.

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's that mobile game

    Warriors of Waterdeep’s concept and stuff didn’t seem bad. I played it for a bit. I quit when it got to the point where I had to grind forever to accomplish anything, or else shell out real money.

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's that mobile game

    That looks like Warriors of Waterdeep, the mobile game that’s already out. Here is a screen from their app page, for comparison.

    D&D 5E (2014) Running "Odyssey of the Dragonlords"

    I read through it. One of the big concerns/questions I had was what to do about all the tag-along NPCs. Various sidebars say the five gods won’t/can’t fight the titans or their forces, but two of them are very likely to tag along and... not do anything? And then there’s a number of other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon + is (probably) coming this or next week... and with it the next D&D book announcement

    “Everyone connected to the game” doesn’t sound like they’ll be talking about a book. Has she been consulting on one of the D&D games that’s in production? Maybe she got her character put into that Warriors of Waterdeep game, or Idle Champions?
