    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Working for most corportions freaking sucks. Tito isnt wrong for this tweet, and Im sure hasbro is pretty stressful and annoying to work with.

    How Dragonbane Pointed out the Clashing Desires of My Gaming Group

    I hate this post. No one should be thankful for thankless players. You talk like the gm is a toy.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB - A much too early review

    Well if you made your own conversions and rules and subsystems, you have modded the system, so you arent who im thinking about with that post. Likewise someone playing A5E is also prob not gonna use masteries, cuz they have maneuvers etc.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB - A much too early review

    This is my experience. I truly question why anyone would prefer 2014 martials over weapon masteries beyond unwillingness to change.

    D&D 5E (2024) Pact of the Chain broken at low levels?

    If a single PC is clearing a whole dungeon by themselves, that's more an indictment on the GM then the game (unless the GM has calibrated the game for such).

    D&D 5E (2014) Issues with Legendary Reactions vs Legendary Actions

    Cannot be stopped, and is typically as powerful as a three-action legendary action. its a riff on Colvilles villain actions.

    D&D 5E (2014) As the sun dies…

    For me, I never really enjoy 2014 classes as much as I thought I would. At times, the design felt a little too conservative for my tastes, and the aesthetics didn't line up with some of the mechanics. Despite 5R's likewise conservative changes, there ARE changes, and I personally feel the 5R...

    D&D 5E (2014) Issues with Legendary Reactions vs Legendary Actions

    I do a Cataclysmic Action, which is just one legendary action, plus multiple reactions now. Solves the issue for me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rant about Forced Movement

    I rule that effects trigger whenever a creature enters into them, regardless of if they are transported there, forced there, or move there willingly. What's the fun otherwise IMO? Effects exist to be experience. Get dumped on by my vampire's howling aura of victims! Feel the heat of the red...

    D&D 5E (2024) How to simply fix Ranger in 2024.

    The ranger being able to gain certain buffs while maintaining concentration would have been cool. Maybe hm benefits like the tracking and damage bonus are available while concentrating on any spell.

    D&D General Godless Settings

    My setting, Scavenger, is godless. Instead philospophical mysticisms based off cruelty, cause and effect, astrology, and other concepts are practiced via ritual, ceremony, and virtues. The underpinning idea of virtue or sacred in my setting is "helping the tribe survive and flourish" while sin...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    I also use Forge of Foes for the math of all my monster designs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Hey @Quickleaf , have you seen what @mearls has done with stat blocks on his patreon? He has CRAZY SUPER CHANGED and shrunk them down. I think it'd be a good point of inspiration for this idea.

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 - General Impressions and Random Things I Noticed

    I lost my entire post just now, so I have to do a summary, apologies. Things changing does NOT mean that things are being taken out to appease people. Artists love to revise ideas and take their own spins on them. VtR is such a work where WotC wanted to do a reimagining, which can often inflame...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 - General Impressions and Random Things I Noticed

    Yes we can. Hickman worked on it. The project is high quality. The Van Richten's book was also high-quality, and every artist talked about how they brought their own ideas of horror into it. I've read the darn thing front to back and it even has OSR-style rules for "survivor" characters who want...

    D&D 5E (2024) PHB 2024 - General Impressions and Random Things I Noticed

    They didn't take the horror out of Ravenloft, and they didn't change Ravenloft to appease anyone.
