    The D&D Multiverse needs a "Crisis on Infinite Oerths"

    So the reason Crisis on Infinite Earths was done was largely to "reboot" DC's comic line to a fewer amount of worlds so comic-book readers would be less confused. This was because there were a bunch of different Earth's with the same heroes, so people often got confused between them. This...

    WotC Baldur's Gate III Announced; Powered by D&D 5E

    Wow, I wonder if this will be canononically in the past or present. A mind flayer invasion that big would be hard to miss...

    Inevitability is a fleeting feeling. Lost City - 25 Desert of Desolation = 25 Isle of Dread - 23 - 2 = 21 Castle Amber - 24 + 1 = 25

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghosts of Saltmarsh: A Review

    I've got to say that by flipping through it, here are some takeaways; 1. The adventures themselves seem good. 2. The crunch content is pretty plentiful and good. 3. The art is pretty good; not the best I've seen, but pretty consistent with recent books. 4. The maps are bad. The colored maps...

    Last Man Standing: Best D&D Modules

    I specifically didn't include Saltmarsh (or some other great modules) because they've been adapted for 5e. This is really an exercise to see which older module is the most popular, as WotC have started a pattern of updating old ones into bigger books (Curse of Strahd, Tales from the Yawning...

    D&D 5E (2014) If WotC is outsourcing official 5E material to 3PP, What is WotC working on?

    To be fair it sounds like Ghosts of Saltmarsh is essentially an adventure path.

    Does the world exist for the PCs?

    IMO the world exists for the PCs, to the extent that it's needed for them to roleplay and experience adventures. At the same time, that doesn't mean you should be making a world solely revolving around the player's existence like a bad video game. They can both be true at the same time. I just...

    Last Man Standing: Best D&D Modules

    I might as well add that people can vote once a day. That should speed up the contest. Keep on the Borderlands 10 - 2 = 8 The Lost City - 22 Desert of Desolation - 24 Test of the Warlords - 20 Isle of Dread - 23 Castle Amber - 22 + 1 = 23 Red Hand of Doom - 21 Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth - 17

    Another Look at the D&D Essentials Kit

    I've been going to a drop-in drop-out D&D meetup for about 3 months now, specifically designed for beginners. Not once has anyone run Phandelver. If you can't find a DM who isn't creative enough to run something other than the adventure in the starter's box, that sounds more like your problem...

    Last Man Standing: Best D&D Modules

    Hi all! I was inspired by the post on "best cover art," and was also curious what older modules people were most fond of. So I compiled a list of modules pulled from different sites ranking their favorite modules, and want you to decide which one is the best. I've left off some modules...

    D&D 5E (2014) If WotC is outsourcing official 5E material to 3PP, What is WotC working on?

    I'm not entirely sure about this so correct me if I'm wrong, but is Perkin's being unable to make two APs single-handedly a year really a problem anymore? I mean they got Adam Lee as narrative designer, and Mike Mearls. And even the game designers like Crawford and Kate Welch seem pretty...

    Another Look at the D&D Essentials Kit

    This is such a weird complaint. If you think it's being overused, then ask your DM to run something else. Or if you're the DM, run something else. Phandelver is probably the best adventure for new players to enter D&D, it's explicitly designed for it. If a group of players hasn't played before...

    D&D 5E (2014) If WotC is outsourcing official 5E material to 3PP, What is WotC working on?

    I think what I'm trying to say is that although Wizard's has released books with common threads back-to-back, they haven't actually written anything that's actually that similar back-to-back. Dragon Heist and Ravnica are not the same book, and Storm King's doesn't equal the Yawning Portal...

    D&D 5E (2014) If WotC is outsourcing official 5E material to 3PP, What is WotC working on?

    I'm not sure that's a great comparison. I'm pretty sure Tales of the Yawning Portal function mostly as a "greatest hits" on D&D modules, and that both Storm King's Thunder and Tomb of Annihilation are Perkins and others thinking, "What if we did these classic modules again... but long and with...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    So I noticed a few comments on how people think the new Eberron book will just rehash the Wayfinder's Guide. So I thought, just for people's use, I might compare what's actually in the Guide compared to the new structure of hardcover setting books set with Ravnica. Wayfinder's Guide; - Ch 1...

    The New Dungeons & Dragons Storyline for 2019 Leaked Ahead of Live Stream

    In my opinion the new naming is simply a way to signify the setting, to almost encourage people to buy a book because it almost doubles as a "mini-setting" book. Waterdeep: Dragon Heist doubles as a guide to the city of Waterdeep, and Undermountain is supplementary to that setting. I suspect the...
