    D&D General What makes for good antagonists?

    My opinion is is the best villains are the quasi-anti-villains, those with some positive traits, or with no-evil reasons. For example the classic dr.Doom from classic marvel comics believes himself to be the future savior, and then he has to controll everything to void world destroys itself...

    D&D General D&D Dark Alliance Servers Shutting Down

    I would be funny if later a homemade clone was created thanks some videogame creative mode like Roblox or Fortnite. Maybe I can't explain it with the right words but my opinion is the future of multiplayer online videogames is you pay for a month-service but you can enjoy different titles...

    D&D Releases Playtest for Updated Artificer

    There was one in 3.5 Ed, the arbalester from Magic of Eberron. My fear is Hasbro wanted to create construct pets for artificiers to sell some toys The t'sa was a reptilian specie from Alternity/d20 Future what appeared in Dragon Magazine. These could be "psiartificers". I guess we will...

    D&D Releases Playtest for Updated Artificer

    Now I am thinking if 5.24 ed has got rules about bastions then the artificier could need some room to work as garage or studio. Would break the power balance if artificers could use metamagic feats for the crafted item? for example the metamagic feat "energy substitution". Can homunculus be...

    D&D Releases Playtest for Updated Artificer

    Can I create magic throwing weapons (axes or knives) with the returning trait (to be used as boomerangs)? And using spells from previous editions? For example a magic crossbow that reload itself. (spell Ghostly Reload from Races of Dragons, 1st level transmutation). Could I create a...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Griffon's Saddlebag - Book Two, now on D&D Beyond!

    Two new PC species, the ethereans and the geleton (symbiotic fusion of oozes and reanimated skeletons). I want to believe this is a good sign because if more 3PPs dare to sell their titles in D&DBeyond then it should be good for everybody.

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance will be de-listed from digital stores, multiplayer servers to be shut down

    Videogame industry should remember gamers don't have got enough money or enough time. Sad, but no surprise at all. It is not only this game. Today lots of games don't want games as services, and online multiplayer videogames is a very hard market where even the most important studios can fail...

    D&D General Why Were the Dragon and Dungeon Magazines Discontinued?

    I bought several numbers of Dragon magazine, from 2nd and 3rd Ed, in English and Spanish translation, and I feel a great nostalgia when I review them, but also surprised with the pages promoting videogames that today they are practically obsoletes. Internet changed radically the publishing...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    In your own kitchen you cook in the way you want, and you shouldn't worry about "but grandma cooked in other style". Dark Sun can be hopepunk if you want because it is your tabletop. But there are other factors, like the metaplot from the novels, or the possible banning of certain crunch...

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    I guess this is a good sign, because the first game was sold well, and then the franchise has earned some brand power. It may mean a ray of hope D&D can work within the videogame industry because we remember most of D&D videogames haven't been so popular as BG or Newerwinter Nights.

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    If somebody will use that game system to play adaptations of Mass Effect or other sci-fi franchises, then the game system works. I guess this TTRPG not only will appear in project Sigil but also we could see collabs of other titles, for example "skins" or virtual miniatures of "Destiny"

    Hasbro Stock Price Surges After Elon Musk Makes Comments About Purchasing Company

    I guess I can say this here but my own opinion is if he wants to buy Hasbro for the value of the IPs he isn't thinking only about money or economy but the strategic value of IPs and franchises to earn "soft power" in the cultural war. Elon Musk isn't only the biggest fish in the lake, but...

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    But the celestial aren't a monolithic faction then this could mean lower advanced civilitations could be used as pawns in some proxy war. If the system will be not leveling up like in d20 then players wouldn't worry too much to find a right power balance when they added their own homemade...

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    But if my memory doesn't fail, there is only one alien antagonist faction, the Celestials, and a good TTRPG needs lots of different enemy factions. My suspects are the game system will be something like a d20 Modern 1.99 to test a new system d20 that allowed all the different genres.

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    My theory is it will be a variant of d20 Modern 2.0. It will not totally compatible with 5e but with some changes the adaptation is possible. My suggestion is Hasbro talking with Epic Games for a TTRPG of Fortnite, and I mean the original one, "Save the World", the defense tower against the...

    D&D General [+] What is your favorite non-WotC D&D setting?

    I am happy with my 5e version of Rokugan: Legend of Five Rings and Iron Kingdom: Requiem.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Please, let's remember we are getlemen and civilized people and let's keep the calm. Some time in the past I may have joked about Elon Musk would adquire Hasbro to own D&D. Now I think it could happen really, and it shouldn't be because economic reasons. We should stop and meditate seriously...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Human artists are still necesary to design "sketches". You can't imagine how hard is using AI to create images with more two characters interacting. AI is good to create portraits or landscapes but for example epic battles are a different thing.
