    D&D General Map I made this week

    If by some chance you don't already have this, I wanted to make you aware of it! It's a real labor of love on the part of the creator: https://www.enworld.org/threads/mystara-players-guide-free-for-download.682073/

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

    Not sure why we're debating whether WotC will stop printing physical books. During the OGL fiasco, didn't Cao come right out and say they plan for books to be "treasured collectibles" in future? That suggests that they will continue to print physical books but likely in extremely reduced numbers...

    D&D General Defining "New School" Play (+)

    And I like that the backgrounds in 5E are mostly there for RP purposes. I don't like the fact that people will now be picking them for their mechanical benefits. Just to say it takes all kinds.

    D&D 5E (2014) A better model for Legendary Resistance

    Hypnotic Pattern is a big one. It could, for example, put the boss completely out of commission while the PCs deal with the minions, no matter how long it takes, and then they all focus-fire the boss.

    D&D 5E (2014) A better model for Legendary Resistance

    As far as I know, there's no rule that legendary resistances have to be always 3 per day. That's just kind of the default number.

    D&D General Aasimar, Angelic Guides, and Avernus

    So my party has three aasimar (out of seven PCs) in it. Their angelic guides have not featured yet in the game, but the group is due to arrive at Candlekeep in the next session and that seems like a good time to bring the guides into the story. I'd like to hear what any other players have done...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Psionic Organizations Still Have a Place in 5e?

    I'm still confused. Are you saying that a psi-warrior doesn't possess psionic power in the fictional world, just because his powers don't have a separate set of mechanics in the rulebooks? I don't see why the rules should dictate the fiction in this case. To approach it from another angle...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Psionic Organizations Still Have a Place in 5e?

    Why not? Why is a full class required in order to have an organization?

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Psionic Organizations Still Have a Place in 5e?

    There are currently (in 5E) psionic subclasses--is that enough for an organization?

    D&D 5E (2014) There Will Be No More Hydro74 Alternate D&D Covers

    True, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're the last ones.

    D&D 5E (2014) There Will Be No More Hydro74 Alternate D&D Covers

    What a shame. I have some of these alternate covers and really like them. (Wish I had picked up the alt-cover version of Xanathar's.) As for what the "new direction" means, didn't WotC say that in future, they plan for books to be "cherished collectibles" rather than the main way of delivering...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Kickstarter] Veranthea Codex: Grethadnis (100 NPCs and more for D&D 5E)

    Nice! I missed this Kickstarter--probably would have backed it if I'd been aware at the time. Just curious, why is the 5E PDF more expensive than the Level Up PDF? Does it contain more information or is it just that Level Up is expected to be less popular?

    D&D General Defining "New School" Play (+)

    Haven't caught up on the whole thread yet, but are you thinking of this, by chance? (Video cued to appropriate scene. Skip to 33:51 if that doesn't work.)

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    My last session can be summed up by this drawing, which one of the players dashed off: All the players rolled on the carousing tables. When we put all their results together, we ended up with a story where the barbarian and fighter won huge amounts of money from a gambling house run by a...

    D&D General D&D Assumptions Ain't What They Used To Be

    Yes and no. The mining of disposable pop entertainment for cultural critique has become an exponentially more routine pastime in the 21st century than it was in the 20th. That sort of thing happened, but pop culture wasn't given the cultural weight that it has now.

    D&D 5E (2024) Which Setting Featured Already in 5E Do You Want a New Supplement For?

    Are we allowed to vote for one of the MtG settings featured in "Plane Shift"? I'd love to see a more thorough writeup of Ixalan, maybe a bestiary.

    D&D General New Hellish and Planar magic items

    Nice! I'm bookmarking this for possible use in my Descent into Avernus campaign.

    D&D 5E (2024) Collage of Dance Reveal

    Not bland subclasses. Bland classes, because they'll be so heavily modified by portable subclasses (and, in your expanded version, prestige classes as well). I don't hate it as an idea for a game somewhere. I've just been explaining from the beginning why I feel that it works against some of...
