Originally, yes. Orcs (and some other species) used to be creatures with light sensitivity (Orcs and Goblins being inspired by LoTR). Orcs were later reframed to be wild barbaric tribes, leaving the light sensitivity to Drow, which has now also been removed.

Awesome-ar.

I'm not playing a medieval game. I'm playing a fantasy game. With fantasy art.

In my campaign, the weight of every coin being 1/50th of a pound is taken seriously by the bankers/moneylenders. Heavier metals are smaller coins. In fact, "coin" can be considered a unit of measurement, which is 1/50th of a pound. 1cp = $1 (a 1lb. copper trade bar = $50) 1sp = $10 (a 1lb...

So any published adventure gives enough loot that either it can't be spent, or if spent, would destroy an entire city's silver-based or copper-based economy? For instance, the party opens a chest of treasure, and even one gold chalice worth 100 gold is valued as 10,000 silver in a silver...

I'd put them in Orc and Elf, respectively. Half-elves' abilities have way more in common with elves than humans.

Is that just factors of 100 instead of 10, so that it is 100 silver for 1 gold, and 1 million copper for 1 platinum? Do you just change the value of everything in the game?

I don't use real-world ratios for value and availability. In my campaign, precious metals are inherently magic, and can be used to power magics that have a GP value, even if you don't have the "object" that is valued at that amount. This means there is an in-world value that is reliable and less...

Upon closer look, none of the beholder's eyes are actually pointed at Vajra, not even the central eye, which seems to be looking over and past the heroes, in the direction of the mimic. She's literally almost under the beholder, within 5 feet, if her light means anything. The cone could be just...

The ogre down below. He's got a +9 against ogres.

That looks like Dynaheir the Wychlaren of Rashemen, Minsc the Berserker, and his companion Boo, the Miniature Giant Space Hamster from the original Baldur's Gate 1 game! *GarrettKP and Ibrandul! Great catch on the caster being Vajra Safahr, the current Blackstaff of Waterdeep. It being Dynaheir...

I'm GenX, and I strongly believe that can still happen. Our world consciousness is ascending to recognize injustices that are too much to bear. Millennials and Gen Z and the younger generations have been taught what the world could be, and they are standing up because older generations haven't...

Are you describing a racist/speciest world where the different species had to fight it out for supremacy? Or are they decent, enlightened folk where elves and dwarves and humans often worship the same, or allied, Good deities and work together? If you are describing a very dangerous world of...

The Owlbear, Bulette, and Rust Monster were from the old-school "Prehistoric Animals" bag of plastic toys. Owlbears, Rust Monsters and Bulettes, Oh My! – Tony DiTerlizzi I agree with the OP. For me it's between the Red Dragon (which has inspired the Ampersand in the trade dress for many...

Lolth is quietly spinning her web of secrets and intrigue, with a delightful doom in store for the plucky adventurer caught in her web. She's quite the DM! Appropriate for the DMG cover.

The "Dungeons" aren't purposefully populated by real, Material mortal beings, rather the types of creatures that are more of a temporary "spirit" when in the material world, or are not living creatures. Like celestials and fiends, elementals and fey, undead and constructs, and even monstrosities...

I'm exploring adopting the Dungeon Master as a God for my home campaign. Imagine a Small God of Trickery, who likes riddles and challenging the perspectives of others, where later on in their existence finds themselves becoming a God of Conflict. He's not a War god, but rather the God of the...

Actually, how about a superhero/villain-style clash, with the D&D Cartoon and Strongheart-allied heroes following Bobby riding Uni, charging against Venger on his Nightmare, who is flanked by Warduke and that assorted cadre of villains!

Uni, all grown up, facing against Venger's nightmare, charging each other! Bring it!

I love Venger and Warduke. I will be on the lookout for an art print for this cover art. If Venger, Warduke, and Skylla are on the DMG, mirroring Strongheart and his companions on the PHB, what the heck will be portrayed on the MM!? I am also very curious about the alt art for the DMG and MM...
