    D&D 5E (2014) How Many Spaces on a Grid Does Cloud of Daggers Effect?

    I was thinking of taking Cloud of Daggers for my Wizard but I can't seem to find a clear answer on what the AoE for the spell is intended to be. Based on these, I'm imagining this as the spell's AoE: However, the spell's description states that it is a cube, an AoE mentioned in the PHB...

    D&D Movie/TV Kids tie in novels for the D&D Movie.

    I want a mini of the chonk dragon.

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina Season Two!

    I enjoyed Matt basically describing the Raven Queen's reaction go Vex's promise as "lol, sure, even I'm not gonna hold you to that".

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    4E actually has a ton of options for nonmagical characters. Fighter, Ranger (pre-Essentials), Rogue, and Warlord gives you a completely nonmagical party. IIRC the Fighter had more potential abilities to choose from than the Wizard had spells to choose from by the end of 4E.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    The problem here is that the wilderness exploration features of the 2014 5E Ranger are either arguably too good or completely useless depending on how much the DM focuses on wilderness exploration in their campaign. I imagine that's why Tasha's presented more optional alternative features for...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    Speaking of Ranger vs Rogue, I always thought it was odd that the Rogue was the one who got "Steady Aim" (basically, use a Bonus Action and don't move to get advantage on an attack) and the Ranger didn't.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    "It's not what players expect" is a massive assumption here. I started in 3.5, so if anything the initial nonmagical 4E Ranger was the anomaly. It got followed up by the explicitly magical Seeker class before the magic-using Ranger returned in Essentials (when WotC was likely trying to win back...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger playtest discussion

    I saw the video after reading comments about how this Ranger still isn't good enough, so I got a laugh out of Crawford's "oh man, this new Ranger is probably really OP".

    D&D General Favorite Puzzles in Published Adventures?

    I've neglected using puzzles in my D&D games due to a few bad experiences while playing in other campaigns, but I'm curious if any veterans of published adventures have had positive experiences with them that I could look into for inspiration.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    I forgot Delilah was part of the Cerberus Assembly! Man, those guys have been linked in some capacity to all three campaigns now. Somebody should probably do something about them.

    D&D 5E (2014) My guesses for what will be in the Book of Many Things

    4E's Madness at Gardmore Abbey was an adventure focused on the Deck. In it the cards of the Deck had been scattered. Gaining the normal benefit of a card wasn't possible without drawing it from the complete Deck, but individual cards were magic items with unique abilities separate from what they...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Let's Read] The Adventurer's Guide to the Bible

    The Path of the Nazirite Barbarian and Circle of the Baptist Druid are enough to make me consider getting this book as a novelty. I'm also struck that the first adventure seems to be a loose adaptation of the Book of Tobit.

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    An online distributor called One Bookshelf that DriveThruRPG partners with has now added the following to its product standards guidelines, requiring that products with art created by AI must be labeled as such. I wonder if part of the reasoning behind this is One Bookshelf wanting to cover...

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    Yeah, at this rate AI image generators will be able to outperform any human artist probably within the year, both in quality and speed. I'm already seeing people use them to get custom character portraits of their D&D characters much faster and cheaper than they ever could have by commissioning...

    D&D General Would It Matter To You if D&D Books Were Illustrated by AI Instead of Humans?

    AI image generators such as Dall-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion allow anyone to enter in a prompt for an AI trained on potentially billions of images to have it produce artworks that would take human artists far longer to create. Though they currently have shortcomings such as difficulty...
