That's the only thing in D&D that seems implausible to you? ;) The vistani don't have to bring the message the whole way, just pass it onto someone else heading in that direction. The background feature doesn't specify any timeframe for how long it takes the message to reach the contact, it...

Better inform your players of your house rule before anyone picks the Criminal background!

The vistani travel to and from ravenloft all the time, I'm sure a Criminal can find a shady vistani to pass a message on to their criminal contact. Why you'd want to is another question, it's not like the contact can help you while you're in barovia. But that's really not so different from any...

Sorry to say it, but these look like ass. Not even remotely an alternative to miniatures, even unpainted ones. I'd rather use flat cardboard tokens than put this big chunk on my table. (Unless I was using it as some pice of sci-fi scenery, it could work well for that) Now, if they make the...

Notably, the Fiend Folio collected monsters that had previously been published in White Dwarf, created by third party writers.

I can't see them doing individual art pieces for every wizard school. It would just take up too much space in the book.

16 page thread about essentially nothing... Clickbait still works for sure ;)

People, OK. But if a game designer refers to a Melee DPR class as a a Tank, then I'm concerned about the game. Did they just give the monk a new role, or is he simply clueless?

While D&D magic can potentially heal almost any injury, I don't see any spell in the rules that can permanently "fix" inborn traits, or the bodily effects of lifestyle and aging (outside of wish, which can potentially do anything at significant risk). I don't think the wizard the illustration...

Looks AI generated 😜

the ones complaining here still managed to learn, even if it was hard at the time.

The ones that failed to learn probably gave up on RPGs, so we don't hear from them in the community.

I don't think wotc's business practices have much to do with Larian cancelling the BG3 DLC, it sounds more like the development just wasn't working out. The team would not have been "elated" at the decision if they were enjoying working on the project.

Just remove death saves and have characters die when they hit 0 hp, and 5e will be almost as deadly as 2e.

I'm kinda surprised that "I hate X" is an option in the survey. Normally that's a question corporate surveyors are reluctant to ask as even raising the possibility that a Customer could hate the Product is Verboten. Kinda feels like they're trying to get honest opinions from as many people as...

I get the impression that's it's not really milestone leveling that's the "problem", but that the published adventures have the milestones so close to each other that you level up much faster than you would if you were collecting XP. If you see "Levels 1-10" on an adventure and expect it to have...

I don't think you should count on this level of introspection and preparations from groups running published adventures. These are often new gamers jumping right into it.

It is the fault of the game designers if they create features that are pointless for a very common style of play that they even promote with their adventure products.

The money you'd save on condoms would pay for this event and more! ;)

While some things matching that description do exist in Barovia, if you're playing CoS you'll run into them as part of the plot anyway, making the Sage background feature largely redundant. Which of course isn't all that different from playing any published adventure - if the party requires...
