    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    Can you explain the issue with capstone features? I assume you mean the class' level 20 one.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    I had a look at some other cases where it could be ambiguous whether it referred to character or class level. Elf traits refer to 'character level' but the cantrips I looked at just referred to 'level'.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rules Clarification: Epic Boon at 19th Class Level or Total Character Level?

    I think this the relevant rule: Level 4: Ability Score Improvement You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see chapter 5) or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Barbarian levels 8, 12, and 16. As long as you are (character) level 19 you can...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    It entirely depends on whether you like a particular set of characters more or less. Reading in publication order is how I read them because I didn't have a choice. Apart from some occassional references to previous events, they can be read in any order.

    Apparently the boxes have arrived at my FLGS. They haven't had a chance to unbox them yet.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    I don't have any recommendations then. It has been so long since I've read Good Omens that I could not say what be like Good Omens, but not like Guards! Guards! Most of his work is closer to Guards! Guards!

    In the first two he is finding his stride. In Equal Rites he does proper full length plots. Guards! Guards! is where he really hits the mark. Maybe try that one next.

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Finished Nimisha's Ship by Anne McCaffrey. I haven't read one of her books since the 90s. I stopped reading them when I realised the militaristic overtones about her books. But, I picked this one up at a street library. I was disappointed with this one. There wasn't any real drama in it. All...

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    From my conversations with my FLGS, the FLGS started taking pre-orders and then, at a latter date, were told they were not getting all they ordered. So, it was more a matter of the sequence of events and the information available.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    So.... Australian and New Zealand players want to know what happened to the alt-covers that meant there were so few copies available in Australia. Are you able to find out?

    It doesn't seem to be linked from gameology.com.au. I agree suspicious.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    Does anyone know which distributor is being mentioned? It isn't clear which one people are talking about. From what I can tell these retailers are affected: Good games (35 stores) Ronin (2 stores) Gameology (2 stores) I don't know which ones aren't. Has anyone identified a retail outlet in...

    This is an announcement from an Australian FLGS on facebook (Ronin Games Belconnen):

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    I'm pretty sure that that all the pre-orders we are talking about are with retailers. Not WoTC direct.

    They are definitely going softly on the nag messages. This is their advice from the OP linked article:

    Do we still have the WoTC social media person around? Maybe they could ask internally what is going on. No obligation, they seemed like a very nice person.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    This is Australia and New Zealand. I don't know about other regions. We are hardly going to invade the US demanding our alt-covers books.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    Sad to hear they are not re-printing the alt-cover and I hope my paid pre-order stands. I liked that much more than the standard cover. I had promised to buy another alt-cover for a family member using my store credit, but didn't manage to do so until the store closed pre-orders because of...
