    Unearthed Arcana WotC Removes Latest Unearthed Arcana

    What other kind of spells would a Love domain have? There isn't really much in the way of spells with that sort of theme other than the charm spells. I don't know, maybe someone could possibly find something (only one that really comes to mind is the Ceremony spell). I am sure there's a Love...

    Is Forgotten Realms the Default Campaign Setting for 5e?

    It is sadly the default setting when it comes to the adventures, and it does seem to be the same for the books outside of the Big Three (phb, dmg, mm). SCAG is 100% FR, Mordy and Volo's books are 50% FR (all the lore BS shoved into them to pad out that 256 pages...). I think Xan's book doesn't...

    D&D as humanocetric ... or not?

    My D&D is as far from humanocentric as can be. I got tired of humans being 80%+ of any setting, humans being the greatest and most diverse of all the races. So I went the complete opposite. Depending on the timeline of my setting, humans either play the part of the typical D&D orc/goblin/other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    A drow, tiefling, dragonborn, half-orc, lizardman, and goblin could work just fine in Grayhawk. I admit, I don't know much about GH outside of Hommlet and the Temple of Elemental Evil areas (despite the game being a rather big flop, I still enjoyed playing that CRPG), but isn't there an area...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    It's just like my comment earlier in the thread. Though nerd rage was probably overstating it, but more like extreme stubornness. Just read the tiefling in Grayhawk here, and you get what I am talking about. ------- I am one of those players and DMs (mostly DM) who likes the more "anything goes"...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    It's rather easy to fit in dragonborn and tieflings (the two most mentioned races from the PHB), since Ravenloft has stuff from everything (Lord Soth from Dragonlance is in it). Of course, the CoS adventure was basically just Barovia and didn't include all the other demiplanes within the Mists...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    It's the same type of nerd rage you get with people saying dragonborn and tieflings don't belong in FR or Grayhawk or Dark Sun or (insert other setting that existed before WotC put them in the PHB), saying it ruins "their" (insert setting). And the Acq Inc book is canon, which you know how much...

    Only the Lonely: Why We Demand Official Product

    Credits for the 1st 5 D&D adventures, straight from the books themselves. HotQ/RoT: Kobold Press. PotA: Sasquatch. OotA: Green Ronin. CoS: WotC. They are official WotC products, because they were published by WotC.

    Only the Lonely: Why We Demand Official Product

    That's because WotC didn't make Rise of Tiamat. Other than Phandelver, the first WotC made adventure path was Curse of Strahd. HotDQ + RoT were made by Kobold Press. PotA was made by Sasquatch Game Studio. OotA was made by Green Ronin (in collaboration with WotC). Those adventures were published...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    I think mostly, people want something official and up to date for their favorite setting. Sure, we could convert Dark Sun to 5e, but so much of that would be doing more than some people are willing (or able) to do. So, let's look at a more traditional looking D&D setting: Dragonlance. There's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    @Sacrosanct and @Mistwell : What @dave2008 said is pretty much it. Adventures are absurdly easy. I ran B8 Rahasia (from Basic) this past summer. The only difficult thing was the bone golem (as it doesn't exist in 5e), and looking around on the internet, I think Sage Advice said to use a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    I have a memory of them saying something like that. I also remember them saying they were going to make Next very modular, so you could make 5e play exactly like an older edition of D&D. As you can see, that didn't exactly happen. That was one of the biggest selling points of 5e for me, being...

    D&D 5E (2014) Swords & Sorceries Brings Ancient Myth to Dungeons & Dragons 5E

    You don't see striped hyenas in D&D art very often, so is definitely a bonus seeing one. And blink dogs looking like African wild dogs? That's just awesome. Seeing gnolls get any sort of love is great. The first part doesn't have my interest, but the one with the gnolls does.

    D&D 5E (2014) Understanding DM Fatigue

    Scheduling, losing desire, not having time or motivation to work on it between game times, work, not enjoying the direction the story is going in, unable to figure out what to do next. Those are most of what I have experienced.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character concepts you've always wanted to play, but haven't

    I'm playing one concept I've wanted for a few years, but unfortunately it hasn't panned out. I guess this wasn't exactly the campaign to try it out. Another one that I first made was way back in 3rd edition, which is a wizard or sorcerer who specializes in light, radiant, and shadow/darkness...

    D&D 5E (2014) More Details About Laeral Silverhand’s Explorer’s Kit

    Yet another Sword Coast thing. That's all they've had for the last 5.5 years of 5e, with one side trek into Chult, Ravenloft, and a token nod at Greyhawk. There's more to FR than the Sword Coast. This is about as bad as Paizo focusing solely on the Inner Sea area, and having 3 or 4 APs set in...

    D&D 3.x Why 3.5 Worked

    3rd edition was great, though I am salty that it came out a year after I first bought my 2e AD&D books. But I enjoyed the edition, and still like going though my books. I don't think I could actually go back to it, as (to me) Pathfinder greatly improved on it, despite the mess that game had. 3e...

    D&D 5E (2014) In our last session... some bits and bobs.

    Regenerate is pretty much the only spell that can repair lost body parts. While blinded is a condition, I'd say the context of how the condition was gained would determine what would be the appropriate act to remove the condition. Though, shunting that kind of ability behind a 7th level spell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you want new settings, character-types, and monsters?

    While I agree with you about not really needing something like a new Dark Sun setting book (or Greyhawk, etc) as the older ones are still useful, the downside to that is the older ones are rather tough to come by. Sure, there's the DMsGuild with all the older AD&D pdfs up for sale, not everyone...
