    D&D 5E (2024) Why No Monster Creation Rules in D&D 2024?

    I've never made monsters from scratch. I have however customized statblocks to suit my needs. It's usually simple stuff like changing weapons/armor to match the miniature I'm using, but sometimes it will be adding a species features to a guard's stats, or whatever. I might be alone in this...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Are you saying that Enworld is an echo chamber of WotC cheerleaders, or do you mean that it's an echo chamber of negativity apart from a small group of WotC cheerleaders?

    WotC Mike Mearls: "I Was Not Fired From D&D"

    I completely missed that, how was he mixed up with the ProJared situation?

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Poor track record??? Last year Disney broke records for the highest grossing animated movie of all time: Inside Out 2 and the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time: Deadpool 3 It was also the only movie studio to have a film crack the Billion dollar mark, which it did with 3 different films.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    If you're over 40 and still worried about what's cool you might have bigger problems than the popularity of a game

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Of all the things to measure, coolness might be one the most subjective.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "I Was Not Fired From D&D"

    What's ProJared got to do with this? I didn't see any mention of that? Perhaps you're mixing up your creeps?

    Dungeons & Dragons Teases New Campaign Settings

    I don’t have a list of demands or anything when it comes to new settings, happy to let ‘em cook. I’ve never really met a setting I didn’t like.

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    I’ve heard it used. I always thought it was a shortened version of ‘street toughs’ Which are like local gang members or small time ruffians. I have no idea where it originates from though.

    D&D 5E (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

    I have pretty limited knowledge but I did watch someone rank the sets online once. The main one I remember was a Kamagawa : Neon Dynasty As someone else mentioned there’s a new set coming out this year Edge of Eternities, but I couldn’t find much on it.

    D&D 5E (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

    I might be alone in this but I’d like to see them try their hand at a couple more MtG books. Theros and Ravnica were both great books that brought useful, interesting new ideas to the game. And although Strixhaven fell a bit short of the previous two attempts, it still had a fun concept that...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    I didn’t realise It End with Us was based on a novel. That’s even crazier than I originally thought.

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    Never underestimate the power of an established IP. Taking movies as an example, last year the top 16 highest grossing films were all either sequels or things based on existing IP’s like Wicked.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    We played last night for the first time this year, as the DM just get back from holiday. Was fun, we’re in some underground tunnels that lead inside a volcano. We’re looking for the first of 6 legendary artefacts that will make up the campaign endgame (after 2 years). Even at level 14 it feels...

    I know, I usually try my best to “let it go through to the keeper” to use some cricket slang.
