If not full 10, I could see maybe just 3. Energy manipulation background (pick from the 3), body manipulation background (pick from the 3), thought manipulation background (pick from the 4). Flavor each background thoroughly better than the plain grouping.

I’m inclined to agree that I’d go with ignoring limits to Sage or Noble. I’d love to see some entirely new set of backgrounds designed for wild talents exclusively, for the sake of a world-building example. But just as well ignore limiting to specific backgrounds for some DM who just wants to...

Reading the paragraph introducing wild talents has me excited for what they may have in mind for matching backgrounds to go with those wild talents. “Backgrounds representing their connection to wild talents will be included with these feats in a future book if they become official, …”

A low-key aspect is the roving stateless corporate giants out monopolizing and exploiting that need a good pounding.

Primary: thematic compatibility with the role of psionicists in Dark Sun. Secondary: a good enough generic all-purpose mental-powers class that could fit a setting where worldbuilding uses just that.

I so appreciate that you took the time and effort to distill this legal history!

A little late, but I have been pointing folks to Ruins of Symbaroum as a fantastic low magic/no magic 5e adaptation.

I would love much more adventures that are are just about .5 to 2 levels per adventure. Then I can assemble into something, or just be a classic “here are 4 jobs the village currently has” posted at the adventuring guild.

It is curious and I’m interested in the thinking. I believe the Ruins of Symbaroum adaptation of 5e is among the best for a lower magic, risky-magic version of character classes. It may be that some classes rely on the corruption mechanic (or something else?) that is more that D&D Beyond wants...

Correct. Ruins of Symbaroum is the 5e adaptation of the Symbaroum setting.

The email announcement I received has: The Ruins of Symbaroum Setting Handbook offers an in-depth description of the rich lore of the Symbaroum setting. It's not a rulebook and therefore doesn't contain any game mechanics, only guidelines. Key Features of the Ruins of Symbaroum Setting...

D&D Beyond added a setting handbook for the Ruins of Symbaroum world. Player facing info. https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/DBNPVZHIA Interestingly it is advertised as no rules, just player-facing setting material.

There must note those seemingly parallel Primes. -Rhopan, plane (planet?) of the Rhennee -Isle of the Ape (or is it a pocket demiplane?) -Fading Lands (introduced in the Sargent era?) -World linked by the Vortex of Leuk-O?

“Real sandboxes have never been tried”

I really like the idea of a sort of ethnicity/culture based influence map. It could very well be a proxy for the cultural pantheons too. <cartographer musings> It might go well like the old resource map with just the letters to represent each heritage. Coloring, like color bands for each...

My group has finished one after the other of the long-form campaigns with over-arching plots, from 1st-to-(end). Now they just want a break and want to go to the classic trope of picking from a short list of requests. Like would be posted on an adventurer guild wall, or tavern posts. That sort...

THAC0 was a 2e rule. While it is nice to see the history of terms, that’s a screen shot of the AD&D DMG, not 2nd edition. Did 2e continue the language to refer to AC in “class” tiers?
