    Spoilers Doctor Who 2024 (spoilers)

    I thought the episodes were good fun. I kind of have a bit of whiplash because I would prefer Doctor Who seasons to start as more grounded and then get progressively more batty and tonally all over the place as the season progresses, but clearly they decided they wanted to come out all guns...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the Paladin be changed into a more generic half-caster magic knight?

    I would rather have a Paladin be the Paladiniest Paladin to ever Paladin and then a separate class for Death Knight; but since WOTC designers and a big chunk of the playerbase seems allergic to new classes, I am definitely open to seeing how this idea is developed.

    WotC Bard is the biggest mystery in the 5.75e PHB

    I know I am going to regret asking this, but what is 5.75?

    D&D 4E 4e-like game (title TBD)

    That is awful. I am so sorry. I hadn't heard of your project until just now and was intrigued with what you had done so far. Good luck going forward however you decide to handle it.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would YOU nerf the wizard? +

    If you nerf/rewrite the ten percent of spells that are causing most of the issues, I think you can fix at least ninety percent of the problems with the Wizard and at least pull it into parity with the other full spell casters.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Fireside Chat: Revised 2024 Player’s Handbook

    I don't that we want them to suck, but I do share the feeling that playing a fighter is basically playing in "Hard Mode" without all the cheats available to magic characters. I would be happy to see the class split into two with one class being the "Hard Mode" character and the other class being...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Fireside Chat: Revised 2024 Player’s Handbook

    In addition to what you said, I know one guy who voted down the Mystic into oblivion because he hated the term "Mystic" and wanted it to be called "Psion" instead. A mystic to him was a Monk (probably from BECMI) so he was incensed that they were matching that flavor with the class name. That is...

    Warner Bros. Now Deleting Games

    "Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t satisfied with just deleting movies, they’re now coming for some of your favorite games on Steam and digital console stores. According to the indie developers, three games published under the Adult Swim Games label are being deleted from the platform, and no one...

    What TTRPG read badly but played great for you?

    D&D 4E The books were like reading the driest textbook imaginable, but were actually useful in play. It was hard to get a sense of how the game was meant to be played until we sat down to play it. I don't blame the game manuals for that just our expectations.

    D&D Movie/TV Joe Manganiello: Dragonlance TV Show No Longer In Development

    I doubt it was the performance of the module or the board game that killed the project as much as the D&D movie last year. If it had pulled in an audience closer to Guardians of the Galaxy 3 rather than being virtually tied with The Marvels in the year end box office, you can be virtually...

    D&D 5E (2024) I wish we'd gotten to see the Bard in UA one more time.

    I think the fact that they didn't do further testing on the class means that they are going to lean in heavily on the traditional class identity and pick a list heavy on enchantments, illusions, buffs and a smattering of healing with a few other spells that have flavor elements like "Song" and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Things You Think Would Improve the Game That We WON'T See

    They probably bombed for the same reason I annihilated the Druid wild shape template options in my playtest feedback, it wasn't that I didn't like templates it was that I hated THOSE particular templates. I did the same thing with the level 20 epic boons, it wasn't that I didn't like the idea, I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Any Word on the Next Playtest?

    Was there ever any word of how the Bastions did in its playtest? If it got 50 percent approval I could easily see them dumping that feature and using that DMG space for any number of other things rather than iterate something that the community was mixed on.

    D&D 5E (2014) General PHB Speculation Thread [+]

    Optimistic Prediction: PHB classes will all look radically different from what they were in their most recent playtest forms (except the Monk), but all will have a ton more polish, thought and balance to them than anything we have seen so far. The playtest really was just mining reactions to...

    Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa Xmas Special & s1

    I prefer having one season companions with a definite storyline and character development that arcs across an entire season and then moves on when the story is told rather than trying to find new ways to use them. On the other hand, with these shorter seasons, you have less opportunity to do as...

    D&D General Random House Announces Three New Licensed Dungeons & Dragons Books

    He may have specifically taken this assignment to flex his writing chops and write in a different style with different parameters... or maybe Random House and WOTC saw the success of some of the more adult elements of Baldur's Gate 3 and told him to have at it in novel form while keeping...

    D&D General New Licensed Dungeons & Dragons Journal Sets from Random House

    They are a cookbook publisher. I don't know if they were the ones who published the D&D cookbook and wanted to do more like that or if they do a side in journals or other types of books that might have physical characteristics like non-standard binding and thick covers like a lot of cookbooks do.

    Echo is damn good, like almost too good for Marvel

    This is the first Marvel thing in a while that all of my friends who were burned out on Marvel seem to be checking out. Despite superhero fatigue, apparently, there is still an audience if the product looks like it is actually trying to be a good show or movie instead of just another entry on...
