It absolutely has to do with foreign-ness. If you look at the most popular mobile games in China, the ones that include fantasy and mysticism were all developed in China. http://www.chinawhisper.com/top-8-chinese-gaming-apps-of-2018/ Now I'm not saying D&D in its current form would work in...

China has burned some RPG books, but it's not some blanket policy but instead mostly dependent on the whims of individual censors (which is it's own sort of problem). China is totally fine dealing with mysticism, fantasy, and violence, the bigger problem they have is foreign...

So... there is a lot wrong with this post. First, the argument that translating a book from English to Spanish won't make a profit because Spanish-speakers are too poor is nonsensical. Yes much of latin america is below the poverty line, but translating a book from English to Spanish is also...

Just curious, what was the implication of Dragonlance from the Art and Arcana book?

You both credited Dragonlance for having few races like Kender, and detracted for having too many like gnomes?

I largely agree with this take, especially when compared to halflings (or hobbits). Halflings are usually considered to be living in the countryside, happy and content, and not too interested in adventure (you know, hobbits). The adventurer hobbit is the odd-one-out who is tired of that and...

So right now I'm working on a one-shot set in Greyhawk future, where the city has become similar to 1920s New York. The setting has a huge opportunity for redesigning monsters in a way that match their character while making them seem fresh. For example, the main villain of this one-shot is a...

So just a reminder, when one well-optimized party is fighting only one opponent, the CR should actually be higher than they're level. So for you're Death Tyrant, with a CR of 14, a party of 5 characters with all of their abilities and HP can probably take him at level 9.

I'm going to say Age of Worms, simply for it's size.

Guys the OP has requested you stop arguing about something unrelated to his original intent. Can one of you just start your own thread and continue this there (since it will clearly never end)?

This makes so much sense. Target obviously sets up their stores in a certain way, and doesn't want to confuse new potential players by putting books in their gaming section, and they want to direct gamers to the gaming section and not the book section. So in Target's view, it needs to be a box...

I guess someone would counter by saying that a character would wear armor to close the difference. Meaning the rules solution to this problem is simply, make armor more cumbersome than it is (you can't close the distance as fast), or make it not as useful (the AC increase is not as good...

I'll just add that Edge of the Empire has a lot of firearms (or lazers or whatever), and essentially uses HP under a different name (wounds). I think anyone making the argument that D&D is incompatible with firearms for HP reasons is frankly ridiculous (they already exist and mostly work). You...

So... I guess here are a ideas of mine; - Renaissance era, with things like pirates, and some gunpowder. Flying ships as blimps and stuff. - Victorian merging things like "jack the ripper" style murders in the cities, tensions between colonial powers and local communities. Maybe mix some...

If you are working from scratch, it's usually going to take a lot of time, possibly more time than you're willing to commit with you're time constraints. I suggest to start using a pre-made adventure. That really cuts down on the amount of time you need to prepare, with the bulk of the work...

I'm kind of surprised Bel doesn't get a mini. Hopefully his design isn't just "big pit fiend."

This isn't quite the answer to your question, but I did use several AL adventures from Waterdeep to integrate all 4 villains in Dragon Heist into one campaign. That way I was able to have the party raid each villains lair in one bigger adventure string.

Yeah I'll eat a shoe if that ever gets an official book. It was the official setting for 4e, but it's really just a hodgepoge of different settings merged together to create a semi-official sandbox for people.

I really don't understand how this thread devolved into "How do bullets D&D?" There are literally Drow gunslingers in Dragon Heist, this already exists.

Whatever the Paramount film is about (and I doubt it would be Dragonlance) there will certainly be WotC products tying into whatever it is. They'd be foolish not to (and have done so with Baldur's Gate 3 and the Descent), and it's common practice now for things like comic books to find any...
