Epic Mirror of Nessecar Arcane AV2 The benefits are entirely dependent on campaign. The items are generally very solid, but you’re near 30th when you’re finding these things. This item set feels to be the capstone macguffin of a specific campaign designed to get the PCs to a specific...

Paragon Armory of the Unvanquished Group AV2 Not a huge fan of any of the weapons. Note the "wielding" specifics. Arms of Unbreakable Honor Paladin AV2 All reasonably solid stuff for a Paladin or Mounted Charger. Bonus to speed, ability to heal or transfer temps, prone with a...

Heroic Aleheart Companions' Gear Defense AV2 Both benefits really solid, items are all great except for what they mean for a likely PC using these items — a PC wielding a Rousing Hammer and using a Hammer Shield likely doesn’t have an item bonus to damage and has a penalty to hit, both...

Item Sets These sets have a variety of complicated small benefits usually added to a variety of items, making them hard to evaluate usually. I’m going by RAW for the color evaluation that you do not need to wield the weapons while describing why in the text wielding weapons is either good or bad...

Because I keep thinking about the Sorcerer-King Lesser & Greater Pacts, I went through and re-rated them all based on the actual printed text — which has some significant differences between printed and online compendium: Lesser Pact Each of these feats give you a +2 feat bonus to a certain...

Avenger handbook now readable again thanks to Dr3wcifer

I'd just note they're doing a bit better than how the movie they've been directly competing with domestic numbers-wise did at the same set of weeks — a week is not a trend, but they might beat out Dumbledore in domestic revenue if it keeps up, maybe hit $100M. On the other hand, international...

There's no pricing on keeps/kingdoms in DMG nor is that generally a common thing to do in any case for most PCs who in theory are wandering around the country/world/universe most of the time, so I don't think that's really a valid assumption, any more than it was in 1e. "You should spend insane...

Given how exponential treasure is in 5e, there really isn't a sane magic item pricing that's possible — hoards go from 3k in 5-10 to 30k from 11-16 to 300k in 17-20... i.e. any remotely sane pricing for items in 5-10 tier = crazy cheap in 11-16 tier

It would be kind of odd if it didn't hit approximately $90M domestic and didn't get slightly more international than domestic, so $175M is almost certainly low.

Yeah, I think it does $90M domestic, $100-110M international at this point with the $90M maybe a touch too high and need another week to see how international does.

Yeah, it has been really weird — the whole use of a mimic in the commercials was just unbelievable, because it isn't something people outside of D&D will appreciate. Its value is solely as an Easter Egg for players of D&D who are watching the movie. And it looks kind of stupid to non-players...

Basically, when you buy a $16 ticket, the studio gets $8 and the theater gets $8. It is insanely more complicated than that, but at the end of a theatrical run, that's the usual breakdown. And after the first couple of weeks, it starts to weight towards the theaters as opposed to the studio. If...

Did you enjoy the movie? If you're lied to, and you enjoyed the movie, enough so that you'd recommend it to friends, it doesn't really matter if they lied to you or not. If on the other hand, you didn't even go to the movie at all, because the advertising seemed bad — that maze arena as an...

I don't think it is so much that it lied about the motivation of the movie so much so that it is more that the advertising isn't focused on "here's a party, sketch out some short details, here's the macguffin, go, fun movie for everyone" but rather "we have so many easter eggs that we can...

It isn't appearing to be doing well: https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Dungeons-and-Dragons-Honor-Among-Thieves-(2023)#tab=box-office Basically, it doesn't appear to have legs domestically — it is in the bottom 5-10% of movies, which is not what you want to see.

Yeah, I don't think people quite understand often that the 1st-2nd edition war was in part due Greenwood's writing in Dragon magazine, his world taking over and what that meant.

I'd just note GenCon 2008 was 16 days after this happened. There was a huge problem with year 1 adventures mostly being written before release of the official rules, particularly in regards to Skill Challenges. To the point where for literal months, people were asking on the forum "Hey, what's...
