    Why I feel so abysmally let down by the "Ravnica" news...

    My view is the opposite. Personally, I think a lot of the 5e art looks like garbage, where as the art from Pathfinder looks great. Certain artists in 3rd edition that WotC employed I absolutely hated (Crabapple and England), but there was a bit of good art. I liked a lot of the art in both...

    Interesting Eberron based combos

    According to Kieth Baker, a warforged Forge cleric can't do the armor enchantment for their class. Link: http://keith-baker.com/wgte-faq/ Scroll down to the part where it says Warforged Integrated Armor. It's a little below that header.

    What is your reaction to the Eberron news?

    I chose very excited. It's my favorite published 1st party setting (with Planescape being a near tie). It has a lot that I have in my own setting, and I have yoinked a number of things from it and placed them into my own. I prefer to run my own setting (I know it the best, been working on it...

    D&D 5E (2014) So Now We Are Paying for Early Access?

    July's UA is a reprint of the races from the Wayfarer's Guide. So, you can get that for free if that's all you would want from this. Most of the Wayfarer's Guide seems to be stuff about Sharn and the world (there's about 176 pages worth of information in the Guide). D&D has a history of...

    What Eberron PDFs would you buy from the Guild

    Just about anything. Eberron is probably my favorite published setting that I have never played (with Planescape being practically tied), because it does what I do in mine: no pure good or pure evil beings. Orcs aren't pure chaotic evil rampaging hordes raping and pillaging everything. There are...

    D&D 5E (2014) So Now We Are Paying for Early Access?

    It is also missing any monsters. As for this discussion: I bought the Wayfarer's Guide. The biggest reason I bought it was so WotC might realize that people want Eberron, and might actually make something more for it. I voted with my wallet (well, credit since I had $22 from selling things on...

    Why I feel so abysmally let down by the "Ravnica" news...

    Steampunk features Victorian era dress, steam power, and clockwork technology. Something that doesn't have steam power is not steampunk. It's literally in the name. To be more on topic: I bought the Wayfarer's Guide to Eberron (1 B, 2 Rs, it's not Ebberon. This irks me as bad as "should of" or...

    Unearthed Arcana [5E] Unearthed Arcana: Races of Eberron (July 2018)

    Or, if you are going for silly, it could be something similar to Chicken Boo from Animaniacs, or Sir Bearington from 4chan.

    Planescape Converting Planescape to 5E - any tips / suggestions?

    I converted the old para- and quasi-elementals (plus a couple other elementals) a couple years ago. Also, Quickleaf did something more comprehensive about Planescape compared to my "just elementals". Quickleaf's Planescape thread is here...

    How would you portray Shadowfell versions of the four main elemental planes?

    I would just use the old Planescape versions of the elemental + positive energy plane (feywild) and elemental + negative energy plane (shadowfell). These were: Air+Positive = Lightning Earth+Positive = Mineral (gems, basically) Fire+Positive = Radiance (light) Water+Positive = Steam...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance adaptation to D&D 5th Edition

    While I am not a fan of what came after Dragons of Summer Flame (wasn't really much a fan of that book, but it wasn't terrible), I liked what they did with the 3e Dragonlance books, including the content made based on the post War of the Lance timeline. I'm not sure what timeline you were going...

    Regarding the Life of Threads

    Personally, if the first post of a thread is more than a month old, and there hasn't been any recent posts made, I say make a new one if the topics are similar. That's how I would do it, anyway.

    Wait, is THAT how that works?!

    When we (me/sister/her hubby) first got into 3rd edition, we read the random height and weight tables completely wrong. Well, the weight part, anyway. I was making a dwarf, and rolled his height (something like 4'8" or so), and went to the weight. We see (x2d8 or 2d6, can't remember) with a base...

    UA: Giant Soul Sorcerer

    That's one thing I liked about Pathfinder's sorcerer. Their "subclasses" are actual bloodlines (and named as such). I have changed the name of the 5e sorcerer's subclasses in my setting to be actual bloodlines, and changed the opening flavor text of the subclasses to reflect this. Draconic...

    UA: Giant Soul Sorcerer

    I am not really a fan of this subclass for sorcerers. I just don't feel it. I like the idea of a giant origin sorcerer, and have seen quite a few homebrews on the internet in various places. None have really meshed with me. As for the sorcerer not making sense: It does to me. Not every creature...

    Jon Peterson posts Mordenkainen in 1974

    Speaking of the horrific "rolling for stats" and cheating just to get that 18/00: This is an anecdote of my personal sessions in the very limited time I played 2e AD&D before 3e came out. First, my sister's human fighter (an abomination in itself, as she typically goes for elven spellcasters)...

    Jon Peterson posts Mordenkainen in 1974

    I am pretty sure, unless you were a Wizard (aka Magic-User), Int was the "original dump stat", along with Wisdom unless you were playing a Cleric (aka Priest). For many of the stats (at least in 2nd edition, which was my into into the game, and which I have books), you could be just fine with a...

    The Next Dungeons & Dragons Storyline Will Be...

    Reminds me of Paizo with their obsession with the Inner Sea area of their world. They had about 4-5 APs set in Verisia alone. Though WotC focuses on a smaller portion, the Sword Coast. It gets annoying. There's more to Faerun than the Sword Coast. While the premise behind this adventure doesn't...
