Okay, now I really want a BG3 follow-up where your party get's pulled into the Eve of Ruin adventure. Edit: Since that is very unlikely, the next best thing would be for WotC to get the BG3 voice actors together for a liveplay stream of EoR playing their characters.

Had a near wipe on Honor Mode last night in the Creche. In the office with the two wolves, accidentally triggered combat and got wrecked round 1. Escaped with my OH Monk Tav with 1 HP after taking an invisibility potion and fleeing. Had to have Withers rez Astarian and Shadowheart, but...

I'd say it falls under the basic order of play, DM describes the scene, PC decides what action to take, DM describes the result, sometimes asking for a die roll if the results are uncertain. There was no uncertainty about the outcome of the PCs action, so Mercer didn't ask for a d20 roll. That...

Exactly, and yet an artist will take the camera, and after spending time and effort with it, be able to take pictures that far exceed what a novice can. The same will be true with AI tools. In the hands of someone who has studied art history and worked with it and mastered the tool, it will...

Great photography requires skill, but an unskilled photographer who is also unskilled at painting can create a far better image using a camera than they can using paint. That's the argument. As for stealing someone's art, as I mentioned, the IP considerations around the issue are real, and...

I can see the same argument being made against the invention of the photographic camera in the 1800s. But there are even more artists today, because a tool is available that allows for a different type of art to be created, that is suited to a different talent set. People who value hand...

@talien great write up on your experience. I'm excited for the tools that AI will provide me in making my art (D&D adventures for my group) that help extend my capabilities as a DM to create a richer experience for my players. I also have little doubt that human's will continue to be...

For Grym I used the one down, 3 above technique. Technically cheese, though with how much I use a single scout in the playthru, I can just justify it as in character play. IE, that looks incredibly dangerous, Asterion, go check it out, we'll stay back here :) Edited to add And that's what I...

Well, technically 2nd, I got TPKd looking for Withers at level 2, but was only a few hours in and was overconfident. Yeah, that AT boss was tough on Tactician, I may skip him as I don't recall the loot being all that good. Do want to do the basement though. Honestly, I'll probably take on the...

I'm only about 70% done with Act 1 (Arcane Tower, Matron Spider, and Crech remain) on honor mode, but the most important thing for me so far has been remembering to treat it like a tabletop session, not a video game. Seems obvious, but because there are no take backs, I really have to get into...

Okay, longtime D&D player here who's only occasionally dabbled in other systems (most recently Call of Cthulu and the Star Wars RPG, things like Rifts and TMNT way back in the day) and also a huge CR fan. I've only read thru thru the rules (no playtest yet) and overall it seems fine. The one...

I actually keep the two axis pretty separate in my mind, as they do different things. Neutral on the Good/Evil axis for me means that you help others only if it doesn't come at a cost to yourself (and often needs a benefit to yourself). Neutral on the Order/Freedom axis (I reject the Order...

Way late to this thread, but wanted to throw out that what I love about this piece of art as the headliner for the Wizard class is that it feels aspirational. I don't see her as a Tier I just out of the tower adventurer, but a high level master of the art. I'd say the same about the Fighter...

This is a fun one! I'd go Str: Fighter (Barbarian subclass) Dex: Rogue (Ranger, Monk subclasses) Con: Sorcerer Int: Wizard (Artificer subclass) Wis: Druid (Cleric subclass) Cha: Warlock (Bard, Paladin subclasses)

Somewhat buried in the story is that 45% of D&D players now identify as non-male. WotC has done a remarkable job in expanding the diversity of people who play the game, and that's worth celebrating. I imagine that will have a trickle down effect on the video game industry over the next couple...

And for me, it's one of the best features of 5e class design. Being able to effectively have a party of 4 Bards or Monks opens the game for players to play what they want without worrying about filling certain roles. It's about what type of fantasy character you choose to play. Going back...

Need 2 Fighter fans to come in in the next 15 minutes!

Fighter was my first 5e class and Paladin my second. Easy choice.

This describes how both I and the people I play with feel about 5e so perfectly. And to add one more piece, it's also because the rules are set in a way that don't require a lot of out of game time to enjoy playing the game. I play with a bunch of people with busy lives, most of who don't...
