I don't know if the changes are good or bad. Haven't read the book yet. And not attached enough to Ravenloft to really have strong feelings But suggesting these changes are just the result of the world being malleable is rather an insulting justification akin to "a wizard did it" With the...

Having 6 surges that each heal 1/6th of your hit points means you get go from full health to 0 twice. Or from half to full health four times It means that one battle where you get dropped you can fully heal and then you're tapped for healing for the day. You might get two encounters Is that...

Isn't that just a shifter?

From the previews and podcasts it sounds like they're completely reworking several domains and dark lords. And the main continent is no more For better or worse it's a new setting inspired by the old It's like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if they also stopped making comics

But the 2nd Ed did, and that's being erased as well

Not a fan of any spell that isn't save or half Spending your turn AND a spell slot to wiff is rough. Might as well have just cast a cantrip

Good question Speaking as an uber-introvert. I hate asking for things. I hate making people say "no" when I can leave things open and have them offer (or not) I hate putting people out I'd be hesitant to tap the x-card and inconvenience anyone, even if I was uncomfortable. Even if I suspected...

I'm reminded of the 4th Ed FORGOTTEN REALMS where they changed everything the authors didn't like and reworked the setting Except instead of there being a Realms Shaking event that tied the 4th Ed Realms to the old Realms the new book is just pretending the old setting never existed

It was certainly a B-movie. Or C+ Doubt an official DnD movie will be much better

A mate recently introduced me to the terms "ask vs guess culture" which seems relevant From what I understand, this is people who will ask and expect a "yes" or a "no" vs people who will infer and hope for a "yes" but leave things open so someone doesn't have to give a "no" Like when you need a...

While it would be nifty for this to be good, chances are it will be comparable to the last movie at worst or MYTHICA: A QUEST FOR HEROES at best Doubt this will launch a franchise any more than Universal's Dark Universe managed to do so We could get lucky. And this might be at least as fun as...

Looks like they're keeping his "death" in the REQUIEM boxed set cannon while ignoring his return in the 3rd Ed books.

Must be nice to get the books for free AND unique stuff like the Ouija board box.

Like the mix of both. Specially having martial type abilities tied to quick short rests and magic types tied to long rests Like that the classes aren't samey

In a world ravaged by other planes, new people emerge to reclaim their home.... Elevator pitch is setting where the Outer and Inner Planes exerted too much influence on the world--the barrier between planes was too thin--and everyone has been touched by planar magic. The world is now dominated...

It's weird that elves only go to Arvandor and might not stay with their friends or non-elven loved ones. But it's also odd that a NG husband and LG wife would be separated on death. Or be separated from a child for similar reasons You can justify it more with elves as they're going to their...

In terms of tools, I've also come across the "Stoplight System" which is the X-card with nuance You have cards or something with green, yellow, and red circles on them. If things are going good and you want them to continue or get more intense, tap green. If you need to stop, tap red. If you...

Does there NEED to be death in the game? Nobody ever dies in Pokemon and that game and cartoon is filled with battles and is super popular. Why can't failure in combat have a different penalty than death? The PCs and their opponents could easily be defeated and knocked unconscious rather than...

Looking through older conversations of interest held on this message board forums, that convo seems to be "the norm" A discussion starts, people engage, a troll shows up and the thread just becomes an argument with that troll that continues until the lock An argument followed by a threadlock...
