    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Dark Sun could be "played in the wrong way" but that is also possible with the rest of settings. I can understand in the name of good sense somebody asking to avoid certain elements that could make somebody to feel too unconfortable, or for respect of victims from the real life, but some times...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Some times I suspect formians have been cancelled and they don't appear in 5e because they could be used like an allegory of certain faction from the real life. We are in 2025 and this should mean a great difference in the horror genre because today there is a lot of different lines from...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Ravenloft can allow some touchs of comedy, but it is mainly gothic-horror with a lot of tragedy. Here we should avoid troubles and controversies but I guess we are allowed to say when we may feel unconfortable about certain tropes, for example the abuse of "femme fatale" could start to sound...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn Eclipsed, the MtG set releases January 2026, could tge Lorwyn D&D be released concurrently?

    If we remember the current strategy by WotC 5e books are focused mainly into crunch that could be used in most of homemade settings. Then this comingsoon Lorwyn-Shadowmoor would be more like "book of the dark feys". And then this Shadowmoor would work like a softer version of the Shadowfell...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Let's remember oldest horror movies are +13y or +7y for current standars. "Tales to tell in the darkness" could be a example of how horror doesn't need to be too explicitely violent. I was a child when I watched in TV the horror movie "the Crow" (1963, with Vicent Prince and Jack Nicolson'...

    Planescape Primalshard: other "echo" plane.

    Carvoria. Journey to the Center of the Wildspace. This wildspace is different because it isn't a group of celestial bodies orbiting around a central star in the middle of the void but more like a giant natural sponge full of holes where the life flows. The most important zones are the nodes...

    D&D 5E (2024) So what's going on with the October book?

    A sourcebook about Innistrad? (a greater space could allow vampire clans or supernatural faction confrontations) Lorwyn/Shadowmoor sounds logical, but if it has got new crunch then we should see some UA. Octuber is a good date for a horror-book because Halloween is near. My opinion is we...

    D&D 5E (2024) Power sources to disambiguate the 5e spellcaster classes

    In an update Dark Sun the sorcerers should be primal, at least as option. There was a variant of divine sorcerer in "the complete champion". I didn't like 4ed very much, but the idea of primal source was wellcome. I miss the psions because I like to feel my PC is different and today the D&D...

    Tomb Raider RPG Cancelled For Creative Differences

    If I wanted to buy a TTRPG of pulp genre I would choose "Adventure!" by White Wolf/Onyx Path because I am enoughly used to storytelling system. If I buy a book I am interested into crunch or original fluff, because the background of famous IPs can be found free and easily in fandom wikis. If we...

    Dark Horse Reveals First Dungeons & Dragons Comic

    I can understand you feel the changes of styles, but this can't be avoided. Let's remember the different "ages" of James Bond movies, with Sean Conery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Borsman and Daniel Craig, or the Batman movies. And today the anachronic fashion style is "normal" because...

    D&D General D&D adventure set in London

    My advice is.... the PCs shouldn't be in London before 1858 because the stink may be really unberable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink

    Dark Horse Reveals First Dungeons & Dragons Comic

    it's a matter of time Tessalynde Halendria to appear in... fan-art for adults, to say it in a soft way. We shouldn't worry about that. Do you think Dark Horse is the right team to publish new comics about Dark Sun? Would by possible a D&D crossover with any Dark Horse's franchise?

    D&D 5E (2024) Gunslinger Class (from Valda's Spire of Secrets) on DnD Beyond!

    Let's remember even when guns need reload, these can be done by a sidekick or squirrel. If there are firearms, then these can be also used by enemy nPCs. If firearms can get stucks, then this can be possible with low-level magic. Somebody could ask to use fireams from XIX/d20 Past, and later...

    Dark Horse Reveals First Dungeons & Dragons Comic

    OK, this is the cover of the novel to compare: I don't like tielflings to be more popular than gnomes, halflings or aasimars. I imagine aasimars like the smart student with the best grades in the class but suffering tall-poppies syndrome and bulling, or the little princess from the fairy...

    D&D General Cancelled D&D Video Game Project Concept Art Leaks Online

    If this was a premortem meeting within a company I would say "games as services" are a very risky bet. I would advice collabs with other videogames. Other reason because I don't trust "games as services" is because now my Fortnite game needs a better graphic card after several updates. For a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could the DnDNext Sorcerer be revived as its own class?

    I identify the wizard with the archetype of the scholar, the sorcerer with the artist, the warlock like the dealer or trafficker exchanging favors, and the psion like the cultivator from xianxia fiction or the philosopher who wants to know herself. The wizard wants to control the nature, the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could the DnDNext Sorcerer be revived as its own class?

    An assasin class is possible: poisoner, holy slayer, impostor, oppresor (brute force and legbreaking works), shadow magic, "watchmaker", sniper. Or this could be recycled into "slayer" or "avenger", a stealth+divine class focused to terminate unholy enemies. The warmage could be a class...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could the DnDNext Sorcerer be revived as its own class?

    If Hasbro is convinced thanks a monster-touched class they could sell action-figures style "Gormiti" maybe they are encouragered to do it. My idea is a reimagination of the franchise "Visionaries" where instead holographic banners they have got some totem talisman working like a biopunk...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wizards of the Coast promises to release more “CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3” without Larian

    Do you mean to be a fun videogame should be more important than a faithful adaptation? It sounds logical and with good sense, I guess Hasbro's staff may agree you. Let's remember Games Workshop's franchises have got several videogames with different gameplay styles. There is also a couple of...
