I wouldn't take Stewart's mentions of Spelljammer too seriously. He's taken every opportunity to 'accidentally' say Spelljammer or hint Spelljammer or suggest Spelljammer in the last several weeks. It's a running joke. In fact, the gist would be that it definitely isn't Spelljammer because he...

It's possible that they are just being misleading, but Stewart and Mearls have both made oblique comments that hint at Eberron. For example, he suggested to someone on twitter that he/she wait a bit before developing a homebrew Artificer. Mind you, Stewart, I think, deliberately tries to...

So, in Happy Fun Hour, Mearls went on a tangent to talk about the revised ranger. And I no longer expect any new UA in the near term. He said they are planning to do another 'State of the Game' survey this fall and will look to see whether people still feel the same way (now that the game is...

Oh my. That would be a hellacious transcript to read. He runs it really free form. Does the design as he goes. Stops at random to answer chat questions. Goes on tangents. It's very fun (and informative) to listen to and watch, but it would take some serious editing to turn into a nice to read...

This is why I think they might opt to use alternate class features and advertise them as an expansion rather than a replacement. They just have to make sure those alternates don't very obviously outshine the existing features. But I don't think they'll call it PHB 2. They've mentioned that...

Not worth getting into here, but I think the ranger (at least the hunter) suffered less from flaws in mechanical design and more from how it 'felt'. I think ranger fans felt like they were getting an underwhelming class, regardless of the numbers. At least that was the experience I had with my...

I don't know. At the end of last year, WotC folk vaguely suggested that we might see something early this year for those classes. After that, I didn't hear much about the Artificer. I do wonder, with some of the Eberron hints, whether we might see a an official version sooner than we think. But...

So this says nothing about time frames or what a 'supplement' entails, but I thought Spelljammer enthusiasts on these boards might find the following twitter exchange interesting: https://twitter.com/mikemearls/status/998605924423024643 (summary: Someone said they'd eat their PHB if WotC ever...

Kobold Press seems to do alright (couple thousand backers, not millions though). But I'd probably list these reasons: 1) It wouldn't occur to most of those millions of players to look for third party materials. First, as pointed out earlier, there's plenty of WotC material to keep you going...

I guess we just have a lot more fireballs and dragon breath and the like in our particular campaign. Has happened enough that that has become the main feature of shield master for him. Just seems like there are a lot of spells and effects that have a Dex save for half. But yeah, obviously...

I can totally see why losing the shove-attack option on the same round would be a bummer. But essentially getting the 'no damage' part of the Rogue's Evasion ability is pretty big. It has saved the fighter in our group multiple times. And getting a shield bonus to Dex Saves is also pretty sweet...

Yeah. It's not errata. It's just a rules interpretation that he's changing. 'No Player's Handbooks were harmed in the composing of this tweet' AD

And this tweet sums up his reasoning further: "Curious why I changed my ruling on bonus actions? When there's a gray area in the rules, I lean on general rules or exceptions to determine a ruling. My original ruling relied on the general rule, but over time, the weight of the exceptions swayed...

I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate why you feel that way. But, for myself, it doesn't seem like a big deal. He does mention 'cheese' in one of his tweets. But it's a response to someone about the feat and not a justification for the change. He's pretty clear that he'd already...

Sounds like it's a change he made a year ago and realized today that he hadn't changed an old tweet on shield master that was contradictory. And while it's annoying, I'd rather if he realizes he made a mistake that he go ahead and let us know. I don't have my books with me, but my impression is...

It was indeed a subplot that got cut. In an AMA Perkins said: "We were counting on a novel to deal with the Orcus subplot. The novel fell through for reasons beyond our control. Sh*t happens! " https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comment...=old&limit=500 Total bummer, since Orcus mixed with mind...

So Nathan Stewart has made a couple comments on twitter and on the twitch news thing today that are interesting. "Hey Mike, did you already spoil my planned spoil thing for today? "psionics" and "getting a good sense" seem really close to clues."...

This makes a good point. The value of a subscription could increase through time. There really aren't campaign tools yet. They focused first on the rules reference functionality and are now working on character sheet/builder refinements. I think after that they start on the campaign stuff. So...

You're probably right that they wont' go for it, due to the income stability that subscriptions offer. But I suppose it also depends on how many 'hero level' subscriptions they are getting (those have the primary benefit of allowing unlimited characters). The primary benefit of the Master...

I'd sort of be curious how the DDB staff would respond to a request like this. Has anyone posted it on their boards? AD
