    D&D 5E (2014) How I'd rewrite Dark Sun... what changes would you make?

    The next campaign I want to run is Dark Sun (now that I have your Esper book 👍). I have almost all the 2e books so I’m going to keep Athas as it was in 1st ed but with the existence of most of the 2e stuff but the Prism Pentad did not happen. Agree with 1 and 2. Disagree on 3 but it’ll take...

    D&D General Structural Flaw of the D&D Combat System

    I dunno man, you’re describing a Dragon Ball fight progression. PC should be professionals who don’t take chances. For a Gladiator who is wowing the crowd power abilities sound great but there is a lot of showmanship in gladiatorial fights. Not so much in grim life or death struggles.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    I dunno man, the first adventure is called Freedom where slavery in Tyr is abolished. Tyr becomes the Free City. That said I don’t know if Tyr is free in 4th Ed.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    I just want to say to @Steampunkette that I really like this book. I’m a DM not a rules nerd so I can’t really comment on balance or this and that but I REALLY like the tone. Especially the Thoughtforms. As I kid I was a massive scaredy-cat. I was afraid of the dark, I had the equivalent of a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Change in Charisma Description

    Sounds like a perfect description of Col Al Dillon.

    Has Anyone Listened to the Opening Arguments Podcast on the Gizmodo coverage?

    I’m listening to this as I write. Interesting stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sticking with D&D?

    I’m sticking with D&D, but I don’t have a D&D Beyond sub. It’s all books or A5E pdfs at my table. This whole OGL thing is a real mess but I haven’t bought a book since A5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you ACTUALLY use 3rd Party Books?

    I use anything I can get my hands on. Monster books, world books, character classes, spells, items etc.

    Level Up (A5E) Questions From Someone Who Was Looking At A5E Right Before The WOTC/OGL Nonsense

    I’m running Curse of Strahd and Tyranny of Dragons with A5E and it works great. What’s Midnight?

    EN Publishing & The OGL

    This whole thing’s a damn shame that didn’t have to happen. Gonna support A5E in whatever form it eventually takes.

    Has anyone cancelled their D&D Beyond subscription as a protests over the OGL?

    None of my players have ever heard of OGL. I only know about it because of the 3.5 SRD I had years ago. But I imagine if I had sunk a lot into content I might feel differently.

    Level Up (A5E) Working on a Kender

    Yeah, I get that. I was just thrown by using Kender as the culture, instead of the biology. Like I say, I really like the mechanics. If there was anything I would add at my table I would give an ability that can be used in any communal area larger than a tavern where if a non magical item is...

    Level Up (A5E) Working on a Kender

    Ah, I totally did not get that. I assumed Kender was like Elf biologically speaking. Still, Kender culture (from my recollection of 2nd ed Dragonlance) and Kibbutz culture seem very similar.

    Level Up (A5E) Working on a Kender

    I like it mechanically but doesn’t it run into the trope of monoculture? Does the Kender culture have an analogous Human culture? Maybe I’m over thinking it; I’m pretty drunk with the in-laws going quietly insane. Maybe call it Communal Culture or something like Kibbutzim? Edit: now that I...
