    WotC Anyone Else Tired of the Wizards Bashing?

    I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it, it is not illegal to purchase an item before the street date. However, there are often contracts between the manufacturer and retailer which include terms not to sell the itme before the street dat and fines for selling the product before the street...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    I thought they already announced a 2e Starfinder.

    D&D 5E (2014) When Did 5E Peak Quality Wise?

    For myself, in terms of official mechanics, it peaked with the core books.

    D&D 5E (2024) How did I miss this about the Half races/ancestries

    As I mentioned in another thread, I like how Fantasy Craft handled half-species with feats. For example, Half-Elf would be Elf-Blood Prequisite: Non Elf; taken at Level 1 only Benefit: (insert Elf Blood feature(s)) Half-Orc would be: Orc Blood Elf-Blood Prequisite: Non Orc; taken at Level 1...

    D&D 5E (2024) The impending mess that will be backwards compatibility

    As of the moment, I am prepared to tell potential players not to bother asking to use 2024 classes based upon previews to date. The same for 2024 species.

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    I like how Fantasy Craft does it by making both Half- species and subraces feats. So, Half-Elf would be Elf Blood Prequisite: Cannot be species Elf; Level 1 only Benefit: whatever designers give

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    Agreed, but I also get annoyed when designers make up names for martial arts stances rather than using real-life terms for stances (e.g. cat stance, horse stance) as the default name.

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    I have not seen anyone who had been asking for SWAG. I have seen people that came prepared with inciteful questions and disappointed that too often WOTC side-stepped questioned or had no answers. (Edit: And I just learned that many of the creators pre-submitted their questions to WOTC).

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    I am hearing that the Summit was a dumpster fire. It was not a conversation between parties, but WOTC promoting themselves- a mismatch of expectations- and the saving grace for WOTC was someone named Dixon (Edit: in addtion to Crawford and Perkins).

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Creator Summit--'D&D Beyond And Beyond'

    Wow. Treant Monk did not get an invite to the Summit!

    D&D 5E (2014) More details about the VTT from D&D Beyond

    Yeah, but it makes the video kind of misleading to the average person whose computer won't have that kind of horsepower.

    D&D 5E (2014) More details about the VTT from D&D Beyond

    Indestructoboy asked his livestream viewers what laptops were being used for the VTT demo. Someone recognized them as Alienware gaming laptops that run $3k (refurbished) to $6k (iirc). Indestructoboy followed a link and sure enough the laptop looked just like the model being used which is way...

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    Lol. I was at the opposite extreme in my answer.

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    I have not bought any setting books since 2nd edition. I did, however, get asked for my top three settings- Dark Sun, Ravenloft, and Homebrew (not the homebrew option about borrowing from official settings).

    WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

    I took it. I was disappointed that it asked for my top games played in the last 3 months and not my top games as I have not gamed in a while. If they had just asked for my top 5 gaves, I would have answered: Savage Worlds, Icons: Assembled, Tinyd6, Honor + Intrigue. For both what would bring...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5e vs Oe Cleric...

    The only thing nice I can say about the OneDND Cleric playtest is the Holy Order.

    D&D 5E (2024) What would you put in 1D&D from 4E?

    1. Deva 2. Avenger 3. Shaman 4. Warlord 5. Bloodied

    D&D 5E (2024) Do you still feel that One D&D is "Compatible" with 5E?

    Do I think it is compatible? Probably. Would I allow any of the OneD&D classes in a 5e game that I was running? Not based upon what I have seen to date.

    What is the least amount of rules you need?

    Wherever Tinyd6, Icons: Assembled (w/ Great Power supplement), Savage Worlds (with appropriate genre companion or setting), and 5e D&D (core books + a few 3rd party class/subclass and monster pdf supplements) fall.
