Bloodied. Minions. Are easy amendments to 5E. Nothing better than slashing through mooks on the way to the BBEG. Bloodied with a list of actions/reactions for players and monsters triggered by the condition could be a page if done as a chart with a paragraph or two description on the mechanic...

ENWorld CuppaCon 2024

I am surprised at the quick turn around by WotC over the OGL debacle. Corps aren't generally nimble. They also aren't always good to reaching out to mend fences. Look at the first letter responding to the OGL 1.1, 'we both won' indeed. Having Kyle Brinks come out and talk to 'creators' is...

I was weaned on pulp fantasy and Thundarr the Barbarian so magi-tech is not a deal breaker to me. Lazy writing is lazy writing. There are ways that magic would approach keeping people imprisoned that would not correlate to modern tech. Bring that to the mix and I am a happy DM. I don't want a...

Elkhorn and Zarak next please. And a new Fortress of Fangs too!

I apologize for thinking Brian Blessed had passed. I must have hallucinated the news and subsequent threads I talked about him in. I, too, am very glad the world still has Mr. Blessed in it.

Ian McKellan obviously. I always imagined Elminster being a bit like Brian Blessed, RIP.

WotC dropped the ball on tie-ins. Starter set, dice sets, DM screens are all low hanging fruit. It is literally putting a variant cover on a box. Slightly higher level of effort would be a starter set with the heroes of the film as mentor characters in a new entry level Neverwinter adventure...

I find fun disagrees with my digestion. So I have to limit how much fun I can handle in a day. Still I made this trailer part of my recommended daily allowance.

That quasit on the regular cover is darn ugly and the forced perspective is off somehow to me. The alt cover is fine, it is just really boring. 13 unconnected heist adventures is already a low interest item for me. The example posted above does not fill me with interest to mine the book for...

I think they may have a hit movie. The CGI has come a long way. Seeing Red Wizards, Displacer Beasts and Owlbears heavily featured in a big budget movie trailer is an experience I never thought I would see.

Pending OGL outcomes... Phandelver: I enjoyed Lost Mines immensely and would like to see what they will do with a bigger canvas from that strong base. Glory of Giants: I am curious where they are going to go with Giants since Storm Kings Thunder I am meh on the rest of the offerings.

Right, even if the D&D movie draws a huge portion of the player base, it will need to appeal to general audiences to make it a smash. The OGL debacle will be meaningless if D&D takes off in a movie series. Wizbro can write off the TTRPG at that point. How big is the design and development team...

Spell-less Ranger Good for OwlCat

Agenda doesn't mean lying, but everyone's perception is different. And this shift in policy/strategy cuts some beliefs in gaming cross-grain.

Is that all you have to offer, Morrus, facts and pragmatism? This salacious bit of news just reinforced my preconceived notion that Official 5E psionics are being repressed by someone very high up in the company! It is enough that I crumpled my tinfoil hat... Now I have to make a new one.

And yet none of that was influencing you to call them 'shills'. Again I disagree with supporting WotC for their actions and words, but we don't need to be dismissive. It costs nothing and if they add no new information or argument you can safely ignore them.
