52nd session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 10th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. We opened in the middle of a fight. Actually, at the end of a fight. The players had set an ambush...

I've missed several sessions of the Free League's Twilight: 2000 campaign. In the interest of brevity, I'll summarize what has happened. Previously, we ambushed a Soviet checkpoint. After wiping out the soldiers, we investigated a car they had shot up. Inside that car was a dying American spy...

Haven't read through all the comments, but my first thought is monks should be able to add any Weapon Mastery property to their unarmed attacks with 1 discipline point. Effectively, they know ALL the Weapon Masteries--but at a cost. Obviously the amount of discipline points they have would need...

My daughter's kindergarten class had an outbreak last month.

I dig most of the "radical new ideas" and am pretty disappointed to hear this news.

Well, the email said specifically that these pages were unproofed and would be proofread later by a large team. Anyway, looking forward to getting my book(s)!

My advise to the OP is that the best edition for Forgotten Realms is all of them. I was recently thinking about an Undermountain campaign, so I read sourcebooks from every edition, from 1st through 5th. There were great ideas from all editions. Pick the elements you like best from each to...

Session 9 of Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. This time, I'm a player! Player characters: 26 year old American spy with a history of criminality 56 year old Polish truck driver who spent 30 years in prison 33 year old American special forces NCO who is career military Not-sure-how-old...

Such a great idea.

50th and 51st session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. 10th level. In the first session, they made plans for a high stakes exchange with their enemies. They...

50th session of my Neverwinter/Sword Coast campaign. Drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin at 9th level. The characters are infiltrating the embassy of the Tower Arcane, which is my version of the Arcane Brotherhood, to uncover their evil schemes -- and to get...

Agree with most of the OP, except I will bet money that sneak attack will not be usable on a reaction. That's an optimization exploit a subset of the community considers essential, but most players have never even thought of.

Yeah, I feel like Pact of the Blade just ate Hexblade's lunch. Also, I never liked that at 6th level the Hexblade became a pet class. Bizarre design decision (which was made with multiple subclasses in that book). That said, I think this new Warlock creates a design space for having your patron...

Sessions 5, 6, and 7 of Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. This time, I'm a player! Player characters: 26 year old American spy with a history of criminality 56 year old Polish truck driver who spent 30 years in prison 33 year old American special forces NCO who is career military...

Right now, if I had to choose between sorcerer and wizard, I'd rather play a sorcerer. I like the round-to-round choices granted by metamagic and spell points. Seems really fun. And I dig the flavor, too.

It's a series where every episode keeps getting rescheduled because no one can seem to show up.

Conceptually I love the warlock. But having briefly played one and having seen several in play, they are very constrained by the short rest system. My initial impression upon reading the playtest packet was positive. After watching Treantmonk's video, I like it even more. Definitely at the top...

Interesting question. From this thread it appears the answer is: Everyone has a different opinion. I'll say that I find something useful in every WotC release, even the ones I don't like. I've gotten great mileage out of maligned adventures like Storm King's Thunder and Dragon Heist.

I recommend two of the adventures released during the D&D Next playtest: Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle and Scourge of the Sword Coast. Together they make a solid sandbox.
