    D&D General Dragon+ Content Going Away -- Whoops, It's Gone!

    Wait, what...? Just like that? Dammit, I have not even seen the latest issue. Mind you, I was only checking it for the art and the previews, but there were some nice concept art pieces in there. I guess the time of magazines, even online ones, is over, with the Beyond/OneD&D slimey ooze...

    WotC WotC's Chris Perkins On D&D's Inclusivity Processes Going Forward

    I'd not declare it out of hand that old books have no value. Maybe to you, none, maybe to others, a lot. I personally could not care less about Ravnica and Theros, but it certainly must have brought some MtG players onboard...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    I dunno what else to say to you if you cannot take a joke seriously. And yes, if your feelings/fee-fees can be hurt by what someone says about a subject you like on the internet, then you really should rethink whether engaging in dialogue with anyone online is for you. I should think it is not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    I think this is not a description of being "toxic" (which still, is not a word to be used when we have better ones to describe this behavior). Instead, all the scenarios here are cases where the person saying these things got too personal. "I don't like Planescape, and those who do aren't real...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    LOL! I have actually seen that thrown into the face of the whole hungarian transformers fandom almost 2 decades ago, and the irony is, it was done by a Star Wars über-fan. Basically he joined our forums and then started rather shamelessly marketing stuff for sale. He would buy some new toy from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    That's an inherently flawed concept, because of the little matter of COPYRIGHT. If, say, I dislike new Star Wars and Star Trek, there is no way for me and other disgruntled fans to fund a different sequel trilogy and hire Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford and re-create Carrie Fisher from CGI...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    I am always surprised when people do this type of reaction when D&D brings out an existing old setting. Like, google/wikipedia exists, surely anyone who saw the announcement looked into it, or maybe notice that WotC said they are bringing Spelljammer BACK, IE it existed before? If this setting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    That existed well before TNG. Jim Davis was often harassed on the streets by little old ladies who thought he was a merciless evil bastard because, well, he played Jock Ewing on Dallas who was an evil bastard. And speaking as a Transformers fan, I absolutely hated Wheelie and his rhyming...

    D&D 5E (2014) Toxicity in the Fandom

    I think it is generally a bad idea to generalize people, and that starts with calling things "toxic", a stupid buzzword invented only recently that really needs to die out soon. Y'd think a DM would know that toxicity primarily is used to describe the potency of the type of poison the traps you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    As a Transformers fan... no that's is not at all how it is. -There is a G1 Sunbow cartoon Abominus who appeared out of nowhere serving Quintessons (they were never implied to have been built by them, more like controlled, they serve Galvatron in later episodes). -There is Marvel G1 comic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    Funny, I absolutely adore the 5E Kobold design because it changed little compared to 3E/4E but the black nose,w hich just makes them TOTES ADORBS! :) I have my Icons of the Realms Kobold Warband on top of my PC even now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    And meanwhile, in Japan, Kobolds are just Gnolls or Werewolves. :p Who is this Crawford, anyway? Cindy Crawford writes D&D now? :D 4E had lore? More like a mishmash of nonsense. -"Hey let's lump everything from Demons to Yugoloths to Limbo to the Elemental planes into this soup we call...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kobolds are also from the Feywild now?

    It's annoying enough that they are retconning Goblinoids to be from the Feywild, but if they do that to Kobolds... Kurtulmak will be pissed. The german Kobolds with their stone affinity and mining and stuff... they are basically the D&D Korreds, really. And the more modern Kobolds (like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse: An In-Depth Review

    Less than Drow? LOL, don't joke. Zuggtmoy has the least HP of all Demon Lords, and even she has 304 (32d10+128). The strongest Drow is the Matron Mother and she has 262 (35d8+105). It seems to me that this reviewer oddly, was unaware that Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes exists, and that this book...

    D&D 5E (2014) Full List of Monsters in Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse

    "Yeah Hound" has got to be the best typo ever. The elite version must called "Oh Yeah Hound" :D (It should be Yeth Hound)

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't play "stupid" characters. It is ableist.

    I think having an intelligence of 8 means you are of average intelligence - your everyday human on Earth today. Most humans would have an intelligence score of 8-10. A Wizard with an intelligence of 16-18 is basically considered a genius. Scores above 20 are something that Ancient Dragons...
