I'd like to know how they'll utilize Death Row Records to further MTG.

The Wisdom to attack isn't that important, because you can still use Strength or Dexterity without having to focus on Wisdom. Though you probably have invested some in Wisdom as a Monk, you probably didn't invest in at as your primary stat. The Wisdom in place of Strength checks and saves is...

I'll second AIME as great way to go. I'd say it's different enough from FR by dropping down to a very low-magic setting, you get a very different experience in the game. The additional journey and audience rules are great as well. I've also heard good things about Primeval Thule, though I've...

Summary for anyone who can't watch: Beyond doesn't yet know what's the same in WFGTE and Last War. If you have unlocked content from WFGTE that is also in Last War, you get the updated version when it's released. They had some similar scenarios with previous releases, specifically for spells...

I'd say the two biggest setting departures currently available in books are Eberron (with a second book coming this year) and Ravnica. I'd take a look at one of those first and see if it will work for you. There's also Curse of Strahd, set in Ravenloft, if you want some more horror elements...

I'd honestly be okay with just removing bonus actions. Stuff that happens quickly can be reworded to work in addition to another action. Like Healing Word could be a regular action but allows you to do another action in the same turn. Two-weapon fighting (regardless of whether the BA goes away...

I don't think that it had to, though. You still have incredibly hard to hit creatures with significant defensive abilities like legendary resistance. And HP and defense are only two knobs in a bigger machine. More powerful creatures could have other defensive abilities, or could be more deadly...

While this sounds like a fantastic set of books, I don't think WOTC is going to go this way. They have enough settings that they could continue releasing in the format they've been releasing for quite a few years. I think that ultimately is a better model for them from a business standpoint. I...

Another level 1 wizard spell that feels a bit eh compared to what it was in previous editions is Ray of Enfeeblement. It now requires you to land a spell attack, and then the target still gets a chance to save out of it. Granted, in this case a success still applies the enfeebled 1 condition, so...

While we've got three pillars and playing in all of those pillars is fun, it's always felt to me that one of those pillars gets a lot more attention in the rules. Not necessarily a bad thing but to me that means anything that works primarily in one of the other pillars needs to have more...

When they announced bounded accuracy, I foolishly assumed this meant HP would also be in smaller numbers. Whoops.

Oh yes! If we could choose to have spells or pets or some mix of the two instead of the expectation that rangers must have both, that would be far better. I actually feel the same way about paladins. I don't feel that spellcasting is a necessary component of the class (especially when many...

I actually hope that's not true. I like the flavor of some characters having a sidekick pet. They just can't seem to figure out the math of them very well. Sometimes I want to try out the hidden rolls thing that older editions had, where the DM rolled a die behind the screen to see if they...

This sounds like a reasonable way to do favored terrain. I'd be fine with this. Reminds me of how the land druid gets spells based on their land but more generically usable.

I feel like we read two different books because the Champion seems not only good but fun as heck to play. You could argue that they don't play like Paladins in other editions and I'd agree with that to some extent- they're still about defending allies and following a cause. But saying they're...

My wishes for a 6E. Core of 5E ruleset - bounded accuracy, advantage, actions, etc Rules to allow more variety of builds - but don't break the class+subclass model. Just give more options within that flavor framework. More choices on proficiency in skills to express personal choices (maybe...

Isn't R&M always teleporting to other planets or universes or something like that? All my R&M knowledge comes from playing the VR game, and it definitely had some of that.

Probably it is just a riff on dragonshards but it would be kind of neat if this is how they eventually tackle explaining all the different universes.

I must be the only person who likes the cover, though I think it's just on the wrong product. Feels like it would be more at home on the cover of some kind of novel. I want my RPG books to evoke the adventuring spirit and I don' think this does well.

I'm not sure I follow on this. You get the 2nd level dedication feat at 1st level but all other archetype feats still are at their set levels, 4, 6, and so on. There's no way to take any other archetype feat before those levels. I don't think this sets up more multiclassing. It seems it use is...
