What's a lot? Because in my experience even those people play and enjoy playing.

After being a player for a couple years, and being a DM for a few online campaigns, I decided to start an IRL group. I've been lucky living in the Netherlands. We have a small, densely populated country with great public transport. I pretty much live at the country's center city. My goal was...

You can still use the old ones, right? Why shouldn't they change lore?

Honestly, that's the only thing I hope they don't nerf.

They'll make some features more usefull, but otherwise I don't see them changing the bard much.

Oh for sure there won't be a 100% uptake. We do have to keep in mind that the D&D community is still growing. Maybe less than before, but it's growth is probably a factor bigger than any other TTRPG. We can't predict how big the uptake will be, nor the continued growth of the hobby. And it's...

I'm gonna save it for the next campaign I will be running. My Curse of Strahd campaign should actually end before winter, so I'll ask the group if they would be interested in using the new rules. Another campaign will probably last a lot longer, I am already seeing that the group enjoys a...

I don't need mechanics to influence my choice, but I DO need information about the setting. Are there differences in culture and history for species? If there truly is no difference but cosmetic, then I don't really see a point to including them anyway.

The biggest competitor of 5e24 will be 5e14. I think it's the only TTRPG that will ever get close to the sales and amount played. We'll have to see! I am curious to see how things go. I pre-ordered the alt-covers, and fully planning on playing a 2024-core only campaign after my current ones are...

I have been thinking about this as well. I like the MCDM way of doing it: using LR costs something from the monster. Whatever the answer will be, it needs to: Feel less bad for players Make player want to engage with the mechanic Allow the monsters to still take a turn Be easy to adjudicate to...

Honestly, they said monsters would hit harder in Multiverse too, but that wasn't true. I am doubtful they will finally make CR scale along with the PC's.

Actually, the Forge of Foes baseline for CR17 is the following: CR 17 AC/DC: 20 HP: 246 Atk/Prof: +12 Damage Per Round: 107 It's preeeetty close, even closer if Zargon hits 3-4 characters with its breath weapon. I do think the counterspelling and anti-magic horn attack will make him a lot more...

Wake up people! They have been doing bleeding us dry for decades! They are locking spells and subclasses behind a paywall. We all want Silvery Barbs, and WotC knows this! So they only put it in one book that you have to buy separate! /s But for real, these preorder bonuses don’t have any...

I finished a campaign that went to level 20 where 3/4ths of the party had the shield spell, two of which were heavy armor users. It was such a frustrating spell. Next campaign? No-one took shield. Way more smooth of a play experience. Whatever expert DM you might be, shield forces you to...

Thanks Hydro74 for years of art. I personally didn’t like them as much, and if the current alt art will be the standard, I’m happy.

Can we move this discussion to the other thread? This doesn’t really seem to be a different discussion.

To me there is very little space between what you can do with skill checks for exploration, and what is automatically nullified by spells. Just looking through all the exploration spells, what do you miss? Spells like Tiny Hut, Goodberry, locate X, speak with x and pass without trace already...

That doesn't feel like a ranger to me at all. If they balance ensnaring strike, cordon of arrows, hail of thorns and the rest, they'll probably do a good job.

The biggest thing that I don't see people talk about are the ranger unique spells from the 2014 PHB. They are usually about half as *strong as other spells at those levels. Just fixing those will be a big improvement.
