So in my hypothetical goblin village, you don't see a problem with the idea that the every goblin-on-the-street is immune to hold person, but every town guard is not? Because for me, that is kinda brain-breaking.

They did, but I personally think quippers are cooler than piranha. I can't see any reason to eliminate them from the monster manual.

Why the heck did they take out quippers?

Of course you can do that. But being fey still has mechanical implications, which you're stripping away by using the humanoid statblock. And if you're going to strip those implications every time you have an NPC with a specialized niche, I repeat, why bother to make goblins fey in the first place?

They said PC goblins can be humanoids. I think we're still waiting to see whether any NPC goblins going forward are humanoid, unless there's an announcement I've missed. And if you treat all goblins as humanoids for purposes of using the generic stat blocks, why bother to make them fey in the...

So the article's point is that now orc NPCs can use all the generic humanoid statblocks. But goblin NPCs can't, because goblins are now fey, and fey don't have the same range of generic statblocks as humanoids. Does this seem like "one step forward, one step back" to anyone else? (In terms of...

There is, but even "post-apocalypse but rebuilding with hope for the future" is low on my list of things I want to play. Just personal preference.

Yeah, I'd prefer something like this too. I love the idea of this project, but one post in, the setting became post-apocalyptic, which is my least favorite genre of fantasy. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just offering the minority opinion.

For those who haven't seen it, could you summarize?

Even if the artwork is inspired by isekai, I don't think that proves that the game is.

Which aspects of 5E are based on isekai? And is this 2014 5E or 2024?

Does anyone know of a third-party morale system for 5E?

The Tome of Beasts I-III and Creature Codex from Kobold Press. I also sometimes use the Tome of Horrors from Frog God. And, since I'm currently running a campaign in the setting, The Koryo Hall of Adventures (Korean-inspired setting) by Aurelien Lané.

"You're a pirate, George--you even stole my R. R.!"

How are satyrs non-humanoid?

I was thinking more in terms of hyperlinks.

If I were cynical, I'd say they're not concerned about making the books easy to use because they want everyone to use D&D Beyond and/or their new VTT instead.

Responding belatedly to this point. That idea may have crept in somewhere along the way, but it wasn't the reason the thread was started. From the very first post: "Since its release into the Creative Commons by two different companies, 5e is now an open system supported by hundreds of...

So why are you acting like you have to stop playing 5E because you don't want to give WotC money? That's the part I don't get. Maybe you didn't mean to imply that, but that was how it sounded to me when you talked about how RPGs are "a luxury that I can get through hundreds, or possibly...

Right now, you really don't. You can play a pretty complete game from what's in CC, or if you really want the books, you can easily find secondhand copies of the core books. (This is referring to 2014 D&D 5E, of course, but the 2024 version hadn't come out yet when the thread started more than...
