My favorite is the black dragon. Fantastic piece.

For what it's worth, the insider talk was that Cao was behind a lot of the bad decisions WOTC made with the OGL crisis and was one of the driving forces behind the Sigil VTT... so with both those initiatives DOA it's not surprising he's out. Has to find something else he can egregiously monetize.

It sounds to me like they're essentially asking 'which button do I press', but in general that's your decision. The players should be telling you what they want to do like "I flex my muscles to make him think twice about coming at me" or "I'm going to blend into the crowd and act very casual"...

Wait she's okay with killing orcs and goblins even if they're not a threat?

Why did he turn his back on her?

Keywords are good, but think the bigger issue is the way they are implemented in 5.24 is kind of clumsy. It's trying to mix natural language and mechanical language together in ways that can be kind of awkward to read and write.

So it's like naming a kid John Zane and giving him the nick name John Z or Johnzy. Edit: I guess that confirms Drizz't and Cattie Brie are from the American accented part of Faerun.

It is. Her full name is Brienelle Zaharina Do'urden

I guess that only applies to WOTC adventures because isn't Dimension 20 beyond a paywall?

Could you imagine if 'defend it or lose it' was a real thing in this era of streaming D&D games. "Welp, we didn't act ten years ago so I guess Matt Mercer owns mind flayers and Vecna now."

Do tell. I've heard more complaints about Phandelver II: Obelisk Boogaloo and Vecna. TFW's reception was more positive IME. Not played any of them myself.

Yeah you can. Take Two and Nintendo do it all the time. Entire GTA remaster projects have been shut down because Take Two wanted to sell their crappy AI-upscaled remaster.

IMO cantrips aren't really relevant to D&D's balance issues. If it did become a problem I'd maybe limit them to PB times per day. Honestly the only cantrip I've ever seen become an issue is Guidance and I honestly think it should be a first level spell that works like Bless but for Ability Checks.

Vecna was last year

I just meant the statblocks. A lot of them, especially casters, are very cluttered since they print out the mechanics for all the spells. The A5E lich is almost two full pages long for just the statistics! But yeah, if you're looking for more robust lore and narrative aids then the recent...

Eh. Maybe 2014 MM style designs (that persisted into VGT and MTF), but I feel like you're usually better off with Tales of the Valiant or MM25 designs of monsters with direct equivalents. ..with some exceptions because when WOTC messes up they do so with aplomb.

At any rate unless you're publishing something you can just use the Yuan Ti stat blocks from WOTC since the games are side-compatible.

I would rather hope that's not the case. In person games are great but online is some people's only option. But they need to focus on supporting the platforms people are already on rather than trying to make one to kneecap them.

I voted for option 4 but I do like the idea of species-as-class levels for those who want more robust and varied progression.

It's long been suspected that the main reason Baldur's Gate 3 didn't have any sort of DM mode like the ones for NWN and Divinity Original Sin 2 is so that didn't happen. But now that Sigil is effectively abandoned as a monetization platform there's no reason not to.
