I mean the 2024 PHB is ~380 pages, so 320 seems not-unreasonable. You are right, it's an unusually specific number.. pretty sure the sword coast adventurer's guide from early in the 5e days wasn't close to that number.

The latter are mostly Tieflings, for reasons unknown to science.

My sense is 99% of players who want to make custom backgrounds would just want to get access to the levers under the hood to optimize, and would ignore the flavor text. Which is fine, but we’ve lost any veneer of this being a “Background”. If you keep it as a “custom background” it creates...

Strange things my brain notices: the mnemonic for defining a background is FEATS: Feat Equipment Ability Score Tool Proficiency Skill Proficiency

I know this isn’t the point of the discussion, and probably rhetorical, but you can get good quality reprints of the 2e PHB/DMG/MM from drivethru (alas the crummier art from the black cover editions). I’d hate for a 2e game to be blocked somewhere in the universe due to the lack of this...

For those using “new characters start at level 1” - I assume this is with XP progression instead of milestone? Hard to see how the player has a chance of catching up otherwise (unless that is not a priority for players, and/or death is reasonably commonplace)

Hollow World confirmed.

I mean, this kinda does it for me? But maybe he’s smiling on the inside. Or maybe that is his smile?

My take, “Director” is a more people-manager role/title. “Architect” more implies you’re an individual contributor working on big-picture design, handing off details to other designers to flesh out. Speaking as someone who has had both titles, albeit not in a game company! In other words, even...

It seems like the right approach, especially with a big refresh of the FR sourcebooks coming next year. They’ve been pretty good at giving placement options for their adventure paths in Greyhawk and I’m sure that will continue.

That is a really interesting point. Especially since Hasbro are the publisher, which is not usual at all for these books.

Yeah, never thought I’d reach this point, but I’m starting to wonder if we need any more D&D coffee table books… .. sorry, not sure why came over me. I’ll buy a bigger coffee table. It’s the only sensible thing to do.

Sorry, what I meant was keep the “Prep.” Header but change “Prepared Spells” to just “Spells” in the title/heading of that section, since it would contain a mix of both prepared and unprepared spells for Wizards at least. For most classes “all my spells” and “all my prepared spells” are the...

Looks really nice. Thanks for putting the time in and sharing out! Just a thought.. for wizards, this is essentially the contents of their spell book. So you could perhaps exclude the word “Prepared” in the title of that section. The tick box on each line covers the question of which ones are...

I’m from Sydney. That’s awesome!

I know this is an old thread but I just spotted it. I went to the NY show over the summer. Had a great time. Here are some photos, including a close up of the on-stage bookshelf happily featuring some 1e, 2e splat books (I think?) and some white boxes I couldn’t place. I thought it was nice...
