Struck up a conversation with her on Twitter since I'm aspiring to become a game designer and she mentioned that she does have game design experience. Seven years' worth to be exact. I think we're in good hands here.

Good choice moving away from that Johnson person, those Titans movies were dreck. I'm glad they went with Manganelio, he's a good D&D player, good actor, and he's reliable for the brand thus far as Arkhan the Cruel. Choice of director is still leaving a bad taste in my mouth given his past work...

Should be four books - they don't normally count accessories in release slots like that, they just come out as they're ready. Tomb of Annihilation's dice were announced in tandem with the adventure back in June, it's likely that there's probably all sorts of random side-products plan, least of...

I'm fairly certain Labyrinth turned into Tales from the Yawning Portal actually, and Dust was Tomb of Annihilation (Because dust is what a sphere of annihilation turns you into). Midway was most definitely Xanathar's Guide (a lot of the surveys from the UAs leading up to it were titled...

Perhaps it would help to think about it in the context of a zealous force of good. Imagine a celestial being warring against evil and needing someone to dedicate themselves, heart and soul, to the cause. Instead of a cleric, who works for their god with the understanding that they're being...

I think there's a bit of pack of context there. I imagine it's theater one the mind, but the index card itself contains relevant information on it as well as a picture. The players and monsters still have their own standees, but the battle scene illustration is meant to send as the backdrop...

No. Your rest is done after 8 hours. Most creatures need to spend at least 6 hours sleeping, and have 2 hours to do something that they can do while seated. Elves only have to spend 4 hours "sleeping" in meditation, and can use 4 hours to do something simple while seated.

Still not in love with the ruling on Lucky. I think it should parse advantage/disadvantage first, then let you use a luck point, so that you're not spending a point on what could be a crapshoot by rolling low 3 times. It might not happen often with 3d20 but it's still gonna happen, and the...

If you're interested in keeping up to date with the latest mini reveals from the upcoming Tomb of Annihilation set, I suggest using http://www.minisgallery.com. They update the gallery whenever there's new minis released, and some of these new ones are beautiful. Acererak has a trail of purple...

I think an article on D&D's influence on the very first Final Fantasy game would be a good read. The game even goes so far as to use the Vancian spell system, it's that faithful.

Hmm, I guess it makes sense that the book was codenamed 'Dust' since that's what spheres of annihilation turn you into. I'm willing to put my eggs in this basket, if only because I'm not that big of a fan of Dark Sun anyways. I've been personally very thirsty for Undermountain content since the...

Please do, WoTC. This is nothing like the Favored Soul I know and love. The one they originally made way back when they mad the article on the spell-less ranger was perfect, and embodied the best aspects of the class. It was also a perfectly viable and very good theurge subclass, unlike the new...

Battle mat is a given at some point. The next miniature release is a new 6-figure starter pack, branded the Epic Level Starter Set. I doubt it'll actually have anything to do with 20+ play but the product description I've seen kicking around mentions a large grided battle mat included with the...

Wow, I'm so happy that they listened to what appears to be 0% of the critiques of the Theurge Wizard, and then made a new tradition that looks almost entirely useless at surface-level compared to every other tradition. This is the first UA I think I've genuinely despised in every way.

I actually love the idea of the patron-specific weapon invocations, but I do think that 2d8 flat damage per spell level is a bit much for nova damage. It steps on the Paladin's toes a bit - not that that's a bad thing, I'm not a big fan of how powerful it is - but it should at least be a bit...

The Favored Soul is the most disappointing archetype to come out of these yet. Though I speak as someone who has looked on most of these archetypes with a favorable light. The fact that they gutted everything that made the test archetype both fun and good (and similar to the original 3.5 class...

I made a custom gunslinger archetype for a player of mine just this summer that had that same ability - Bonus damage for not moving during a round. I think the ignoring cover benefit is redundant in a world where everyone who has this archetype is going to take the sharpshooter feat. Trading...

Given the trend between this week's and last 's, I would guess that this UA a week deal will last 12-13 weeks; one for each class to chum the waters with new archetypes, with that 15th level mystic playtest that was mentioned when the news first came out included towards the end. Hopefully it...

Player's Handbook 2: Player's Handbook-ier

It did indeed. I'm pretty sure it was in the PHB2. I actually kind of enjoy looking for old art from previous editions- it's like a small nostalgia trip.
