The case of Eberron here opens up interesting possibilities simply because I think the ~176p official PDF sort of falls right in the middle of the predictions of releasing small UA-style PDFs (similar to the Planeshift documents) for settings versus releasing full 256p hardcovers. As such, I can...

As noted in the main thread on the Eberron announcement, D&D Beyond has also released a video on YouTube to accompany this (as is usually the case): https://youtu.be/Cawc3IKPzKM

https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/723UA_EberronRaces7232018.pdf Amidst all the news today, this month’s UA dropping seems to have gotten lost. It was delayed from the usual date as it’s an article of updated races for Eberron by Keith Baker (I imagine it’s the same version of races...

This of course references this month’s (just released) Unearthed Arcana article of updated RACES OF EBERRON, which I haven’t seen discussion on here (besides the Envoy Warforged thread that became quickly comedic). Should we talk about it here or start a new thread on the topic...

I agree that Color Magic would be interesting to see, if only as a non-Weave example of how to construct a balanced magical ecosystem in 5e. That would make it easier for folks looking to build out (Wu Jen-esque) elemental systems in Eastern-style campaigns or even systems like Dragonlance’s...

I’m not sure whether to make racy “Personal Flotation Devices” jokes for a female Warforged or just point you towards the Transformers RPG thread.

I afraid to ask from where the Envoy “passes” butter out of...

That Warforged on the cover is totally pulling a train heist, isn’t he?

I could actually see a GI Joe d20 game, done along the basic lines of d20 Modern, with the crazy Spy-Fi elements of the property in the place of D&D magic and Branch in place of Race as the foundational piece of character building.

What immediately strikes me is the question of how this affects which other settings we can expect to see developed down the line in terms of the elements at play here. There’s been the debate over which established settings are too similar to FR (and thus would be unlikely to be developed)...

How many of us are now inspired to go back to our own setting search submission documents from back then and see what we could do with them in 5e? (presuming that those settings weren’t ones already in use for a home campaign; mine was worked up specifically for the submission since I played in...

So, we’ve established that all the wizards end up drinking at the pub, looking around going “wait, aren’t you back there fighting?”

Watch the DM get caught up in the Reddit Thanos Snap.

The illusionist sends a decoy in his place and goes to the pub. The diviner sees it coming and cuts out to meet him there. The two agree to a tie as the rest of the wizards kill each other over nothing.

You guys take the Pathfinder, I’ll take the Talisker... ;)

QA brings them back to the Mesa for repair, then puts them back out into the campaign as a new NPC.

Having played mostly in Dragonlance, of course there’s been a lot of romance (both PC-PC and PC-NPC) in games over the years (especially as the mega-campaign has spanned three generations and players have played the children or grandchildren of their own or others’ characters). However, it’s...

This is one of the side benefits I’ve found of running campaigns where players have backup characters (and might run different combinations of PCs depending on what adventure is happening, which might result in different levels or combinations thereof at times — a nice trick of slowing down...

Agreed. Deities are a specific sort of Power, in terms of their interrelation between worshipper-god-aspect of reality, but aren’t the only class of immortal with an effect beyond themselves. Just as Fiends or Fey don’t need to be gods but can be more potent than many gods in some cases, I don’t...

I don’t see how he’s either. I don’t see how Primus is a god at all, but rather the command node of a planar operating system, directing a defrag ‘march’ across the Wheel. Primus isn’t a being, the way that someone like Zeus is, Primus is planar code — and if deleted, the Mechanus mainframe...
