    Spelljammer D&D Direct Live Report: 9am PDT (5pm BST) SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED! DRAGONLANCE!

    $70 is actually cheaper than I was expecting. I was bracing myself for a cool $100.

    D&D 5E (2014) Riddle Mechanic? Suggestion? Advice?

    I default to using Investigation for research and figuring things out rolls.

    WotC WotC to power other IPs with D&D and M:TG

    Yeah. My expectation is, if the games prove popular, they will either not renew and publish their own version, or like DnDBeyond, buy it outright. However, as all three feel like niche products, I can't really predict what will happen. That said, how many books would you want of any of these...

    D&D General D&D 6e comes out, and the game also makes use of these dice, your thoughts?

    Please no. How about instead we remove d12 from the rotation.

    D&D 5E (2014) Once More, Into The LTH Breach

    So I'm new to this debate. What's considered broken about the 5e version of the spell? Sure it is cheeseable, but there are ways foes can get around it should they need to, and the fact that it takes a full minute to cast bars it from being protection during an ongoing combat. I understand the...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    I will always trust that greed has no limit but what it can get away with. NFTs are contentious, yes. Good. People responding with rage is that very contention. Rage on.

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    As someone who is a lifelong DM and has worked with a charity that aims to bring young people with limited means into the hobby, trust me, there is a money barrier. Is it as bad as many other hobbies? Oh no. CCGs spring to mind that's in the geek sphere. Same with wargaming. But even with low...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    If there is curiosity about why many are so angrily opposed to this business model gaining any legitimacy or traction, it is simply this: I am not worried about Gripnr. I am worried about Hasbro. If you don't think Hasbro is watching this, watching to see if they can find a new way to monetize...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse Alt cover?

    So is Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse getting an Alt cover version for my FLGS?

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Look folks, it's really simple: All confidence swindles are based on appealing to the desire of the mark for an easy win. NFTs in gaming spaces, be they TTRPGs or Video Games are built on the pitch to the gamer that they can make money doing something they were already going to do anyway, which...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Feeling like people are arguing with a dealer who is highly motivated to extol to virtues of cocaine.

    D&D General When does the system "work"?

    The system works when it provides a Goldlocks zone of experience. Combat is neither too long or too short, too easy or too difficult. The rules are not too complex to be non-intuitive nor are they too simple so that they fail to cover most things that happen in the course of the game...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    I feel it's a great illustration of how NFTs overall are a scam by design. A geared out lvl 20 wizard has no inherent value because anyone can make one for free. The supposed value here is the permission to play the character on their non existent system. Characters have no value. Play...

    Rivers of London, RuneQuest Gods, Regency Cthulhu Coming Soon From Chaosium

    So I'm jazzed for the Regency CoC offering. I am curious to see if this is in effect replacing the Cthulhu by Gaslight setting for 7th edition. Not exactly the same time period but I could still see the drive to do CbG for the current edition diminished.

    RPG Evolution: D&D's Missing Archetypes

    A martial buffing class (Marshall) and an exclusively summoner class are mt two largest desires that can't be effectively simulated currently to my satisfaction.
