I think bonus actions are fine. The idea was a little tricky for my players to grasp at first (and conflated with minor/swift actions) but everyone gets it now. I certainly don't think we need a 6th edition anytime soon--frankly, in a lot of ways I don't feel like even fully realized yet (plenty...

I get the idea, but it seems like it will be confusing and slow to roll various dice every round. We already have a weapon speed optional rule, why bother with this? If I were to use this, I'd be inclined to just use the weapon's damage die, and maybe spells are d10 or d12 + spell level. Rather...

I think adding an option for a character's background to have greater influence on the outcome would be a good idea. Criminals and Charlatans might get advantage on one check during Crime, a Sage and perhaps Hermit gets the same on Research, etc. Or maybe a slightly lower chance of a...

I get that and I agree with the ideas, I just see the inconsistency in numbers as problematic. I'd rather see a fixed value for the items, and the buying, selling, and crafting working off of percentages of that number.

I've used Downtime quite a bit in some of my campaigns, and I've felt is was lacking. This looks like a really good improvement, and I'll give this a shot the next time downtime comes up. I do wonder about some things that were dropped, like Building a Stronghold and Running a Business (which...

I agree that this sort of product seems like a throwback to an earlier age... But the art is cool and a folder might be nice, so I might pick one up (I'm pretty sure I've spent less on 5e products than 12-year-old-me did on Basic D&D back when gas was 80¢ a gal, so I can afford it).

Wow, I'm surprised at all the angst over pricing. I figure it'll cost what it costs, and since the price won't be "free", it will be too much for some (like just about everything in life). personally, I'm far more interested in how it works. When we know how useful it is around the table, than...

Dark Sun seems likely for Dust, but (and this is probably wishful thinking) it could relate to Eberron's Lords of Dust. Hopefully Midway doesn't mean they feel they are half way to 6E... perhaps something circus-themed?

I really hope this works out, but given past attempts, I'll believe it when I see it. Unfortunately, they start out in the hole because there are so many varying opinions about a) what the product should be and b) how much it should cost. They'll never be able to please everyone. Maybe they can...

I'm glad they are doing this. Traps were an area I felt didn't get the right level of attention in the DMG. I just skimmed the document, and I like what I see so far, though I'm disappointed in the lack of XP for traps (at least some guidelines for DMs who want to award XP for non-combat pillars).

I need another D&D video game like a need another nipple, but digital tools for the tabletop game are always welcome.

Overall I am pretty happy with this interpretation. It feels like an Artificer. I think some of the subclass features needs a bit of wordsmithing to clarify how often they can be used. I hope this means we can expect to see Eberron content soon; even simply opening the setting to the DMs Guild...

I'm pretty pleased with this news. I've wanted shorter adventures for a long time, but didn't see how they could fit into the current publishing model they are using. Sure, I'd rather they resurrect Dungeon magazine, but this seems like a good solution. I've run about half these adventures at...

My group is looking for one or two more to join our D&D 5E group, starting in early November. We are experienced players in our 30s and 40s. We enjoy a good mix of combat and role-play, and typically use miniatures and terrain when we play. We usually play in the Polaris area three Sundays a...

I'm looking forward to this one. I played a lot if Rifts back in the day, but I never cared for the Palladium system. One thing I never liked about SW settings is how you need the main rule book as well as the setting book when making a character. Given the changes to the core system, I really...

Looking forward to this one. I really hope this time the player's guide includes the basic rules instead of forcing you to have multiple books open to create a character.

First and foremost, Eberron campaign setting. After that more monster books, a book of magic items and artifacts, Ravenloft setting.

I'm hopeful this is set in Ravenloft and not implying Barovia is a just a county of Cormyr or something (I think the 3.5 Ravenloft adventure had idea for placing Barovia in the major settings). As I recall, they had a survey tag indicated a lot of people were ready to see non-Realms settings...

The question is, when will we see an updated version of the Ranger? It's been what, five months since the first 5 levels of the Mystic class was released, but they haven't revisited it yet. Maybe the Ranger is higher priority, but I wouldn't expect to see another pass any time soon. A survey...

3 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide Nice amount of fluff for those interested in the Forgotten Realms, though I would have preferred more locations and adventure hooks and less emphasis on the gods. The character options are pretty good, though I wish there would have been more...
