    D&D General Let's Share Our Alternate Lore

    This is an excellent thread! Some Mirrorverse Deities. Vecna (CG): The bubbly, always cheerful, happy-go-lucky Vecna is the deity of knowledge used for the benefit of all irrespective of consequences. To those hurt by hidden or destructive secrets, he shelters and cares for; to those undone by...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is "Mythic Odysseys of Theros" | D&D Beyond

    -It's a re-imagining of Greek mythology through the lens of Magic and D&D. -It's an introduction to Theros, but there'll be content in there - specifically concerning mythological themes and concepts - that you can transplant into other D&D games. -It's a campaign setting where the gods are...

    D&D 5E (2014) What would you like to see in 5e books?

    What would you personally like to see in any upcoming 5e books? Also, would you prefer to retain the format of the 5e books as they are? In that, there's bits for players as well as DMs and sometimes there's a bestiary at the back? Or would you prefer they stuck to player only books, and DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Boring?

    Sorry to hear you've been having some issues with it! I think just playing the DotMM as a mega dungeon with the sore aim of killing monsters, looting rooms is unfortunately going to get old fast. Instead, think of the mega dungeon as a campaign setting in itself, with the inhabitants themselves...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aspurgers/autism effects?

    I think one of the best examples of a fictional someone with high functioning Asperger's is Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Newt doesn't really look people in the eye, is shy and introverted, is socially awkward, and finds the presence of his animals far more...

    D&D General The Satanic Panic never really died?

    Tangential to any discussion on religious views, I can only sing the merits of D&D and roleplaying games in general. For me personally, they've helped me develop a reading and writing ability beyond my years, develop a solid and lifelong group of close friends, develop social and problem solving...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    An idea I've for the fighter is to have extra modularity in its class features, namely the ability to swap out at-the-same-level class features with other at-the-same-level class features. If you could design the fighter with the warlock chassis, that might be truly ideal. Another idea is to...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Cleric, Druid, Wizard Options

    I think a reason why we got the tables of names as we did in Xanathar's was because Wizards identified that people were wanting and needing them; they were probably informed of this through feedback, though more closed feedback. Particularly in 5e, Wizards seems to be putting out material that...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Cleric, Druid, Wizard Options

    I'm really liking these subclasses Wizards is putting out. Here's hoping for a Xanathar's Guide 2 Everything Else. Here's also hoping that a Xanathar's Guide 2 Everything Else would also include a (substantial) bestiary, and a tour and description of the Planes of existence, that'd be amazing :).

    D&D General Micro transactions, D&D and bookstores

    I remember reading about Wizards Play stores a while back, but back when it was advertised in Dragon magazine these were stores where you didn't just play Magic but you could also play roleplaying and board games, and I believe PC games as well. I remember the image they used had tables set...

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice on Books?

    Basically what @S'mon and @dave2008 have said. In addition, Volo's and Mordenkainen's also contain character options, as they have player races. If you're going for D&D Beyond, you could buy these options individually iirc. - The PHB has the Path of the Berserker, and Path of the Totem Warrior...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 Easter eggs in Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus (Spolier Alert)

    From the Baldur's Gate Gazetteer, has fallen under the influence of a mind flayer as it has taken mental possession of her; she silently struggles against this mind flayer's influence. But that's probably the duke you're talking about. I swear I read somewhere about a mind flayer tadpole...

    Unearthed Arcana New UA Paladin and Bard.

    The Eloquence Bard is reminding me of that amazing scene in Planescape Torment where your character, the Nameless One , eloquently and undeniably convinces someone else they don't exist, and that person simply ceases to be. There's nothing so planes-shaking in its mechanics, but the eloquence...
