    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    it does, my point was more that the amount of topics that need addressing is the same. If you only have a few seconds for each as they pop up during play, you obviously spend less overall time on doing so compared to addressing them in advance when you could spend hours doing so, if you want to

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    this does not change the amount much at all, only the timing and how much time the DM can spend on it not sure such a DM would use KotB as a starting point, that might actually be more work than starting fresh… I don’t need singular consistency, just a semblance of a sensible setting, and the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    and yet they look like regular bird wings and not like this dragon. The difference is predominantly in the shoulder socket nope, that wing simply is nonsensical

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    I thought it is in either of the FR books

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I would have preferred they’d have fixed it instead of leaning into it

    D&D 5E (2024) Tomb of Annihilation: likes and Dislikes

    which ones are those? https://www.dmsguild.com/product/409414/DDAL07-Tomb-of-Annihilation-Complete-Adventure-Bundle-BUNDLE Going by the numbering, the second one is for levels 5-10 already, so that cannot be it…

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    it’s inclusion in a set that introduced more people to D&D than anything before or up to LMoP.

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    I definitely expect a completely rewritten adventure, I just do not think the desire to do so / fix the original was the reason they chose KotB for the new starter set

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    I have no idea, wondered about that too when they announced it… to me it represents everything modern D&D is not, so it does not even work as a good introduction (assuming they did not make drastic changes to it). I can see two reasons, they finally want to fix this adventure (unlikely), they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    the monster hotel approach, just having everyone live next to each other with no rhyme or reason, the lack of more of a storyline. A mediocre random dungeon generator could have created that one

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    eh, it’s more my example for what not to do in an adventure, never liked it… it is nowhere near the best adventures, quite the opposite. There is a reason why new adventures are not anything like it, and it is not that they cannot manage to match its greatness…

    D&D General Wargamer Article: DnD's going all in on fanservice, and I'm nervous for the Forgotten Realms books

    the second group is the one making up their own worlds though, isn’t it? The complaint to me sounded more like there is little lore for an existing world, even the adventures are written to be picked apart and slotted into your home game rather than to be for a specific setting and expanding on...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Do I understand it correctly that Roll20 offers the DLCs for free? “Dungeonmasters Guild has a bonus if you pre-order the Forgotten Realms Guide Bundle. You’ll not only get the Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Gaerun and Adventures in Faerun for Roll20, but you’ll also unlock not one, not two, but...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    so they should basically be half a book of content each, if their price is supposed to be in line with the FR books…

    ah, I see, it says nowhere that this will be the only package though, I read this as a first package given the 12-15 months between then and the scheduled full release

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    They should have 'zoomed in' on the top left corner for the Heroes book and use the same scene for it

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    paying $60 more for a bundle than for the two (digital) books on their own makes the additional content a lot of things, but free is not one of them they are not free inside the bundles either, they are about $20 per DLC

    what exactly is it that a backer got more than what they paid for? Getting material before the final version is pretty common
