    Congratulations to the 2024 ENNIE Award Winners!

    Valley of Flowers is a dense little book. Very weird and whimsical. Bee knights! And you roll every day to see what the sun is doing. Sometimes it can't bother to rise, or it's chuckling to itself, or creeping slowly across the sky with sudden quick bursts. Full of lots of adventure sites...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB/DMG/MM art/layout: like or dislike?

    I won't be buying the book but I do really like the art. I love the alt cover for player's book, so a little regret there. I do agree that there may be too much art. WotC is bragging about a larger player's book, but larger font and way more art makes me wonder if there is actually more content...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    You Tubers getting preview copies to show to their followers is very common. It is so common, most you tubers cannot preview them all, so usually choose ones they are excited about. Many of these copies have not yet released or just released. Flipping through the pages showing off the art and...

    Shadowdark: How Essential is the Dungeon?

    We're doing a wide variety of adventures with Shadowdark. Not everything has to be dungeon crawling. The torch timer is not essential to play! And we roleplay a lot with interesting characters. With careful play, and not fighting everything in sight, it's not as lethal as its reputation either.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    I saw the @SlyFlourish video. He did not show the entire book, not even close. It was an excellent, balanced review. It is exactly the type of video, WotC should be pleased with. @SlyFlourish did nothing wrong. Absolutely no way to predict WotC's bizarre reaction, especially considering 3000...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Every, I mean every company or independent author of a rpg book, who sends a promotional copy of their product to a you tuber, wants to see their product showcased. That's the point. Build up hype and hopefully get some positive vibes going. Why would any YouTuber assume WotC is different? The...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Spell Changes

    I loved the old Reincarnate spell too! Over the years it has become more and more bland. It isn't suppose to be Resurrection with a Phb species switch. Like you said, a big gamble, and if you did come back as an eagle or a bugbear, it was fun.

    D&D 5E (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    I'm very intrigued by Ghostfire's revamping of their Grimhollow. It's being updated to be in line with 2024 but I'd use it with 2014 or Level Up. The character creation looks really really good so far, as well as the Monster Hunter class.

    Matt Colville on what makes a good player character

    Yep, really enjoyed this one. Really good advice.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    I know.. But since there's arguing here, there'll be arguing at the table. Hope I'm just being pessimistic! 🙄

    D&D 5E (2024) Have the 2024 PHB Reveals changed your intentions re: purchasing D&D 2024/25?

    Beyond the Wall is a great game. I'm in agreement about the 2024 edition. It pushed too far in a direction that is grating on me. Too many obstacles removed for players, which is cutting down on tricky choices, or nail biters. How can you pull a potion out of your bag, open it and down the...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    I think the pushback is not that anyone thinks once you hide you turn magically invisible and can bounce out of hiding with impunity. The problem is in the wording. And the very real possibility players will argue for the ridiculous interpretation cause... people. Since the rules are careful...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    5e to me feels like a streamlined 3e to me. Feats, rolling stat plus skill, very similar multi-classing, skill list, etc.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    The way it's written is going to lead to endless arguments between RAW and RAI... Definitely agree invisible and hidden need to be separate.
