    D&D General Is D&D Survey Feedback Read? [UPDATED!]

    It's been pretty common knowledge that UA surveys are an imperfect system, Mike Mearls (back before he got rightly stuffed in a drawer in a cubicle somewhere in the offices never to see the light of day again) once said in a tweet that while Surveys are invaluable for gathering data, the way the...

    D&D General Lego Dungeons & Dragons Contest Winner Announced!

    Correct! LEGO Ideas is a platform through which people can design sets, even ones based on IPs, vote for them as a community, and if there's enough traction, LEGO will either make the set (if it's wholly original or detached from any copyright or trademark) or reach out to whoever owns or...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Cleric & Revised Species Playtest Includes Goliath

    I think because Pathfinder took Goblins into its core assumption, they probably weren't going to pursue that so as to keep things as distinct from Pathfinder as possible.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC On One D&D Playtest Survey Results: Nearly Everything Scored 80%+!

    I was pretty critical of a lot of little things (not normally with UA but especially with OD&D so far) and I fill out every survey, but I also love filling out surveys so I acknowledge I am probably just an outlier.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Adventure & Prelude Details Revealed

    What's the name of that one? I could use it, not that I will ever find a party that wants to play Witchlight, but it'd be nice to have just in case.

    WotC Ray Winninger Steps Back From WotC

    Something to consider; The playerbase at 5e's launch was a ghost of what it was today. They repackaged the core rulebooks once in 2018 (to capitalize on those who followed Critical Role all the way through their first campaign and into the second), and I'd wager that a fair share of current...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Expert Classes Playtest Document Is Live

    My biggest gripe with what they got for us this time is that while I don't mind the move to prepared casters preparing as many spells as they have slots per level, it's not very clear just by reading it and the fact that a prepared caster can cast any spell they've prepared using an...

    D&D Celebrity Satine Phoenix & Husband Jamison Stone Accused Of Abuse Towards Freelancers

    Funny you should mention that, I believe the week before Origins she was going up to bat for someone in the sphere that was under fire, though I don't remember what for. I'm sure one of the comments on these many, many threads documenting her behavior mentions it offhandedly because it was...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Giving Away Acquisitions Inc and Phandelver For Free!

    Well that's worrisome. I can't tell what other products aren't immediately available to me, but maybe they're hiding in my library now that I went to the website proper and nabbed them. I mean, I also own the physical copies so it's not like I'm depending on having digital ones anyways 😅 EDIT...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Giving Away Acquisitions Inc and Phandelver For Free!

    Unrelated to any issues present on the web version, is anyone having trouble accessing these products on the app? They don't show up at all, marketplace or library, at least on my end (admittedly I'm using an Amazon Fire that I forcibly downloaded Google Play onto, but it still keeps things...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

    If you wanna get technical, Presto's hat is more akin to a regular material component pouch these days, so that spell he's casting just might not have a material to go along with it. The magic item component really only makes it a better Hat of Wizardry, which I'm sure he wouldn't need if he...

    D&D General Check Out This Demogorgon Mini!

    Well duh, but the finished one is still guaranteed to look better than the Lootcrate Demogorgon. Say what you will about the 25 and 50mm minis they make, but WizKids usually delivers with the 75mm+ ones in terms of quality.

    D&D General Check Out This Demogorgon Mini!

    I'm surprised that there's only been one mention of the Lootcrate exclusive Demogorgon (and that it's the post above mine!). Legitimately the last time Lootcrate was ever able to deliver on its promises, and even then only half-heartedly, and it's a pretty specimen. Admittedly it doesn't have...

    Does TSR3 Have Nazi Connections?

    I see I'm just a liiiittle too late for the violent vs. nonviolent response conversation, so I'll just say this; The reason violent protest is "less" effective is, while not baseless, also not the entire truth. A truly evil force would always build up the notion that nonviolent protest is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    Just to be clear; I could not care less if they take the lore out back and send it the way of Ol Yeller. I wholeheartedly support efforts to strip the oftentimes harmful presuppositions from individual races as a tool of agency with regards to making each fantasy world meaningfully distinct in...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    That's especially bizarre because Volo's has content that doesn't show back up in Monsters of the Multiverse. What are they gonna do with all of those orcs they didn't bring over?

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    Because they just put out a UA that more or less gave them that as a feature and apparently enough people hated it that they decided to gib it entirely in this release.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    They already got rid of that is the issue. They had a perfectly playable race that wasn't even problematic in any of those ways, that just had the ability to borrow things from hammerspace a few times a day. They just made it completely vanilla and meaninglessly unique for basically no reason, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    God, that's so smart. I'm just gonna rip those background pages out and re-bind the book with a homebrew renown chart for each order. I don't know how I didn't think of that, especially as someone who shills hard for Ravnica and Theros.
