Sure, WotC may claim to have a copyright, but it's actually an admiralty copyright, so if you are a sovereign game publisher, then something something.

Milennials despise Jar-Jar. And for good reason. We Gen-Xers despise Ewoks. Also for good reason.

What the holy hell

The third adventure in the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path (Escape from Old Korvosa) ends with a dungeon sort of like that, with sections that rotated. It was a pain to run, but it was pretty cool. II recall that Good King Despot, which Gary Gygax called his favorite adventure ever...

Well, that's depressing. I am sad to be wrong.

I feel the cause and effect are the other way around. First, you have no talent, creativity, or general competence; then, you become a bigot and build your house on "...but at least I'm not one of those people!" Have you ever met an astrophysicist who was a bigot? Me neither.

I did mention that some of your stuff is great, right? (hides under blanket)

Kobold's book Beyond Damage Dice has some powerful abilities for weapons that use your entire action to do normal damage but also do other things such as stun. These abilities are incredibly good for fighters for the first four levels, then become dramatically worse once fighters get extra...

But the phrasing of the rules needs to be in line with 5e, rather than Pathfinder or something else, or else it's a muddle. I'm not saying Kobold's stuff can't be more complicated or explore a different design space, but if it's called "5e compatible" then it does need to fit. Some of their...

Whatever they release, I hope they've truly playtested it. A lot of Kobold's 3pp stuff for 5e is too powerful, or just useless, or out of line with 5e design in general. (I think a lot of it was originally designed for Pathfinder, then quickly and awkwardly converted to 5e). I know they're...

Now, normally, a movie gotta make 200, even 300 million. But this movie, it's a genetic freak. So we gotta make maybe 150 million. So you take that 150, but minus 50 for all the Dungeons and minus 50 for the Dragons, and you got 50. 50 million, at best, you got to profit. But we already made 80...

It's funny that this information came out today, because I earlier today I was reading Kobold Press's book "Beyond Damage Dice" which attempts to give unique attributes to weapons in 5e. Sadly, I don't think that book is very good: lots of vague wording, and many abilities seem overpowered or...

Genuinely curious: does it depend on the weapon at all? I'm not cool with arrows doing damage on a miss, because a miss means they missed. But if a hammer "missed" due to my plate mail, I can easily see it doing damage anyway.

To whom it may concern: I'd back off arguing with someone who links to documents from 1553.

I think you can fix the sorcerer pretty easily just by making each subclass a bit more unique and crunchy. Every sorcerous origin should come with extra spells and extra magical effects. Aberrant Mind from Tasha's is a good start for what the class should look like. Done right, sorcerer...

For real. Warlocks are great in 5e as is. It's sorcerers who feel like "wizards, except not, except pretty much wizards".

I wasn't around for the 5e playtest, but I don't get the impression that's a view that only a few people have.

I often find myself liking nothing but dungeons. For example, in Tomb of Annihilation, I was kind of bored by the overland travel, but completely enthralled by the Tomb at the end. Give me stone corridors with traps and secret doors all day every day. Maybe it's because I cut my teeth on...

This. I would never play the playtest version of a moon druid as currently written. It's too boring. If I wildshape into a panther, I gotta be able to pounce!

I love 5e, but a 5.5e is long overdue. 5e definitely has some flaws that require more than a band-aid fix.
