I should note that what I analysed there was a preview of the CC release, and then they ended up releasing the entire SRD 5.1 into CC, so the analysis I made there is incorrect.

I agree that it's still not the best design for an app (after all, you could just have the healing dice roll etc. queried immediately to the stat block page instead of having awkward hover-over text), but I can at least understand why they chose this frankly useless and counter-intuitive design...

I showed this stat block to my game group, and one of my players made a very pertinent point: This is optimised for D&D Beyond and Project Sigil. Sure, having an awkward sentence where the word Spellcasting is repeated three times without mentioning what the die roll for Healing Word is very...

I agree with @Deset Gled that this could be an okay scenario you can use... Once. I think it can be interesting if certain enemies can mess with the game's ground rules and assumptions and force you to think out of the box, but do it more than once and people start to get annoyed. So really...

I nominate Dolmenwood by Necrotic Gnome, which I think it was supposed to be released now, but since no release, I'm guessing it'll get a public release for 2025: About Dolmenwood

I'm not sure if I understand this right: Does a single horde monster stat block represent multiple monsters (like a squad stat block), or do I need to put 30 horde kobold stat blocks on the table if I want my party to fight 30 kobolds?

I think some of his work was middling, but Perkins is clearly someone with passion for D&D and a deep knowledge of older editions. I heavily dislike the flair D&D has ever since Crawford became more prominent than the rest of the 5e trio (Mearls & Perkins), so I have reason to believe those...

I think the "Oh no, WotC is adding more ways to make a house party fun and you guys are saying they're doing a bad job because they don't provide anything to make the party fun for the host!" argument is missing a point. It's not that players getting more options is a bad thing. It's not even...

This should not be taken as me pooping on other people's fun, but I've seen 3-4 threads in a row where recent replies were only an image with an Impact-font meme. Again, I don't think this is bad or nefarious, but I'm just a bit confused. Is there a new feature that was added that people are...

I'm neutral on the art, but (as someone who's been very critical of WotC and 5.5 in the past) I really, really like the layout. I genuinely think they finally nailed the PHB as a rulebook that introduces the game to newbies with this layout. I'm getting inspired by it in how I layout my own...

I was trying not to assume that the design I disliked is bad, but since you're being so aggressive about it let me put it this way:I think it's bad design. I think it looks objectively ugly when you put ability scores in an asymmetrical manner like this on a character sheet. And I think a...

I normally check the D&D Older Editions subforum for OSR stuff, but I noticed that @Mannahnin's OSE house rules thread was on the general D&D subforum with its own proper tag. So I'm guessing the D&D subform also covers OSR to an extent? I feel like that might dilute OSR threads (and it's not...

It's just that I personally dislike the design choice they made with the asymmetrical ability scores. Maybe it's just me who doesn't like it, but I feel like a multimillion-dollar company that employs professional graphical designers for their flagship product could've made something that didn't...

It's not just the fact that "skills grouped by ability scores" is the default (which kinda makes sense given how few people use Skills With Different Abilities, even though I think that should be the default rule), but just the wonkiness of the way they placed the ability scores in that layout...

Oh my goodness, this is so much better, there's no comparison. And the multi-million dollar corporation couldn't do this while a random guy on ENWorld could?!

I like a lot of the changes they made, but two things I didn't like: The ability scores are placed asymmetrically and it hurts my eyes. Having all spells be a giant list instead of being divided according to spell levels is... Understandable to an extent, but it feels wrong to me. I realise...

I was hoping that Lance Reddick would've been able to record for Season 3, and whoever's replacing him will have big shoes to fill. Such a terrible loss. Edit: Apparently Reddick was able to record for Season 3, so I was wrong! I am thrilled to hear his performance one last time.

I remember when GitP forums were massive and people would regularly make avatars for each other! Those were the days... As for me, my username is my name translated into Elvish. Because I'm an elf nerd like that. The avatar itself is a picrew my wife drew for me before we started dating (which...

They could've just... You know, not made these obviously terrible decisions and not needed to listen to feedback in the first place. You know, I see people defending every weird decision WotC takes since I brought up them banning LGBT+ dice in Turkey (even though Turkey has no law requiring them...

Oh, this also includes the bit about them committing to release 2024 Free Rules that I couldn't find! Thanks for sharing it!
