Hey all! Just looked at the Level Up character sheet for the first time. One of the things I was confused about seems to have already been noted — the organization and lack of filtering of the archetypes list — but the other thing I wanted to just make sure of is that the Warlord class option on...

Same here in that TMNT was the first RPG I tried that wasn't Dungeons & Dragons. My third one after that was the original Aliens RPG IIRC. So much this. I also don't remember ever really playing the game so much as rolling up a gajillion different animals. Loved all the supplements as well...

Dark Matter by Mage Hand Press is another good option for people interested in "D&D in space" even if Wizards themselves never goes back to that well.

Ultimately, whether an IP had support in 3E and 4E is mostly irrelevant. 5E represents massive growth for the game due to an influx of new players. The vast majority of 5E players have never played a previous edition of the game and so have no built-in love for older settings. Any new gamer...

One big thing in Planescape's favor, I feel, is that one of the most popular and critically acclaimed CRPGs was set there, so at the very least there's name recognition beyond "just" the core TTRPG crowd of that time period?

What, if any, are the chances that we might get a version of the PDFs that don't utilize a two-page spread but rather utilize a single-page format? Even just setting zoom to 100% in Acrobat on my laptop, it can be difficult to pan around accurately without inadvertently jumping to the next duo...

I was super excited for the arrival of the liondrake in 5e — the dragonne is my all-time favorite D&D monster — but I'm really not loving the artwork. It looks super goofy. The long neck and emphasis on a furry lion's body rather than a dragon's body is really throwing me. To be fair, one early...

Looks good to me! It's along similar lines of how I approached it with the homebrew spellcasting monster stat blocks that I use for my games, although I didn't think to include spell components and I just included a statement "The foo casts bar at nth level" which looked awkward in spell attack...

Really wanted the hardcovers (especially the collector's edition) but those were a tad rich for my blood at the moment so hope my digital pledge helped a bit to get towards that GM's screen that people seem to be clamoring for. :)

A tangential question... wondering if the Level Up website was going to be updated with the three books from the Kickstarter as it still features Mythological Figures rather than Trials & Treasures (and designates the Adventurer's Guide as the Core Rulebook)?

Ah, I do see the entry for Liondrakes, which would be another name for Dragonnes. Thank the gods!!

There's an entry in the Table of Contents for dragonnels, which were different creatures altogether despite the confusingly similar names. LOL

My heart breaks that we didn't get an official entry for a 5E version of the dragonne. I had been really banking on that. Oh well...

He might have. I haven't seen that video. :) He talks about it in the action oriented video when mentioning how monsters in the MM with access to spell lists can be too much to keep track of (he specifically called out one of the nagas in it).

I wonder about that due to the nature of the releases in which they were introduced. D&D Beyond warns that they're only playable if the DM allows them since they didn't undergo final design or editing, which sounds a lot like how they describe Unearthed Arcana?

Owlin from the Strixhaven book...? Grung? Locathah? Are those even actual "official" races?

Maybe I misinterpreted it, but it sounded more to me like they were just collating all the races that weren't in the PHB? I recall one of the articles saying that it wasn't new content but rather just updated content.

So now I have two gift sets I have to buy since even the "standard" version covers have the special foil treatment on them that won't be available on the individually sold books. :\

This is great. I've been doing this on my own ever since Matt Colville talked about the approach in his action oriented monsters video.

Oh, I'd let a human ride a mule. I was just pointing out that the specific feature you pointed out didn't actually resolve the problem at hand.
