    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    Deadline also just reported that the pilot script is complete, which means it's further down the production pipeline and much more likely to happen.

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    First I've seen of it! Shawn Levy is involved, makes sense with Stranger Things coming to an end. I'd guess this has a very good chance to move forward. Would love if it followed the adventures of Doric and Simon after the movie.

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    Torq was the name, a half-orc funnel cake loving fighter. And yeah, Matthew's nat20's mysteriously deminished when they started using Roll20 for dice years into the campaign.

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    Def recommend listening to the Celestial Crusade (season 2) and the Lords of the Feywild (season 3). Incredible worldbuilding, great character arcs, and some of the best combat of the series.

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    You may want to try Critical Hit, season 1-3 are freaking amazing (note that they are playing 4e) and they eventually finish a single 1-30 campaign in season 5 or so, before moving on to other systems. The episodes are mostly 60 minutes long (slightly edited for long pauses or rules lookups)...

    Project Sigil Sigil, WotC 3D vtt game automation no more?

    Yeah, I've been playing a lot with maps over the last 4 months, and I think it really strikes the right balance between automation and ease of use. Don't see any reason not to have Sigil run the same type of UI as maps, but with 3D instead of 2D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    Since you're not using maps, I'd recommend the encounter builder for running encounters. Very easy to add monsters, it keeps track of your party (if they are part of a campaign) and allows you to either manually enter die rolls for initiative or have the system roll (allows you to choose just...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

    My latest campaign has a mix of 14 and 24 PCs and the biggest issue we've run into is the need to have the spellcasters filter their spell selection by the correct rule set every time (you can't set up a default). Party is a 2014 Wizard and Barbarian, and 2024 Ranger and Paladin. Otherwise it's...

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    I wouldn't get your hopes up that they move to Daggerheart for C4, though I'm sure we'll see some additional content using that system like they did with Candella. Unfortunately, like Candella, the system really just cribs from other, better systems, and is kind of a mess. If they stick with...

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual 2025 Aberrations & Oozes Video

    Did you look at it's list of spells for innate spellcasting or just the actions? In inate spellcasting it has DC25(+18) At Will: Counterspell, Dispell magic, detect thoughts, eyebite, fireball, lightining bolt, shield 3/day: chain lightning, create undead, hold monster, mass suggestion...

    D&D 5E (2024) Monster Manual 2025 Aberrations & Oozes Video

    If you're looking for a solo for level 18-20 characters, you'll need to look at a CR 27-30 monster. Sul Khatesh (Eberron RftLW) is magic user themed and CR28, just change it from a fiend to a human. If you don't mind having some appropriate support monsters, I think the Arch Hag will do fine...

    D&D 5E (2024) How Important Is The Lore

    I am glad it's there. I may not actually use the lore as presented in a campagin, but it's a wonderful inspiration to me as I put together adventures.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    Got it, guess we just have different needs to run a sandbox, those things you mention are all things I do on my own. So from my perspective, sandbox play is alive and well in '24 (as it was in 14). The Dungeon Dudes Drakenheim setting for 5e sounds exactly like what you are looking for.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    I mean, it's everything I need to run a sandbox. For me, a sandbox is a map with some thought starters, and then the campaign is created by responding to what the players do, who they get involved with, and what 'big things' are happening in the world regardless of if they engage with those or...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    I ran a 2 year, 20 level sandbox using EGTW. I think campaign guides in general through the 5e lifespan are good rules support for sandbox style play, where the PCs pick a direction and go, choosing to engage or not with a variety of challenges the world presents. The Greyhawk setting in the...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Dragons Video for the 2025 Monster Manual

    Absolutely gorgeous art throughout. The Dragon Turtle piece is amazing, and I love that they've specified that Gargantuan creatures now have no upper limit on how big they are. Think they made a really good design decision to incorporate the traditional Lair Action abilities into Legendary...

    D&D General Alignments in a sentence/phrase/whatever

    Agreed, and with "The needs of the One outweigh the needs of the Many" as CG. Otherwise brilliant set of quotes!
