That's not really a thing in Theros, where centaurs are pretty much the same as they are in normal D&D. If that's your jam, I think homebrew or 3rd party are still your best bet if you want such a race for your game. On the other hand, Magic itself actually did have a My Little Pony crossover...

It's also not as if 5E completely gave up on scary early level monsters with debilitating effects. Ghosts are CR4 and add years to your age with one of their attacks. Mummy rot comes from a CR 3 monster and is just brutal. I may or may not be planning out a tomb adventure for level 2 PCs right...

Strong agree with this one. I obviously want a combat system that is FUN and INTERESTING, but that could be turn based, real time, rock paper scissors related, whatever. I've played lots of fun combat systems, but for the most part the things I remember most about my favorite games are...

I do something similar, though I just let a PC either ignore disadvantage for any roll or grant advantage to a roll (I know that's technically the same thing, but whatever). I also usually try to keep this in the realm of things that could reasonably be a moment of great exertion and extra...

I don't see that as particularly likely, the card game has similar need for constant new worlds which are resonant with the player base and have cool myths, monsters, and heroes for the game designers to add their own touch to. Also, the first set in this world came out in 2013, a year before 5E...

For me the most surprising thing about the playable races is not getting any returned. I do expect that centaurs and minotaurs will hopefully see a reprint. As to Theros and all-one-gender races, I know that nymphs and satyrs have both male and female members, but AFAIK harpies and medusas are...

Heliod, the god sort of modeled after Zeus in this setting except he's the sun god, isn't really kinky in that way, that I have any knowledge of. He doesn't get his rocks off with goose sex, he just murders his own champion after she saved the pantheon because of petty jealousy and arrogance...

* or a dead mortal restored to sentience and hired to wave Heliod's (Zeus) banner to troll Elspeth.

I'll probably repurpose a stack of draft chaff creatures (common and uncommon cards worth pennies) as a random encounter deck for a Theros dungeon I'm planning once the setting comes out. Let the party draw every time they enter a new area, and then put the accompanying miniatures down on the...

The problem with Eldraine is that it's really boring to always have to play in parties consisting entirely of level 3 elk.

Well an animal companion would be fine in an urban setting. You get a hawk or big alley cat or a sewer-dwelling dire badger. I wouldn't let the urban druid choose a panther just like I wouldn't let a swamp druid choose a polar bear, but it still seems easy to keep in theme. Wildshape is...

They'll follow the drow trajectory: a race of bestial person-eating monsters with barely any society in the lore, that seems to be made up entirely of good-hearted iconoclasts seeking to conquer their nature and endure the prejudices of other races when you look at actual PC portrayals of them.

With the caveat that by "interesting NPCs" you mean "more unusual NPC races or archetypes", because a few minutes of demo isn't enough time to make up my mind if these NPCs are interesting or not... I do hope they have a diverse group of NPCs to interact with and recruit for your party. Happy...

I mean I was just joking. I actually love bards, it's just that part of what I love about them is giving them naughty word.;)

That's ridiculous! Bards don't get sneak attack.

I was laughing AND furiously stealing the idea for my game. I will bet a literal hundred dollars that my sorcerer player asks to get one as a familiar. Of course I'll say "yes, there's a side quest for that..."

I'm actually more fine, personally, with a "just don't think about it too much" crossover that gives us cards from D&D and campaign settings from MtG without either ever "officially" entering the canon of the other. Invoke the MST3K mantra of "it's just a game, I should really just relax" about...

Yeah even though I'm on board for the urban druid concept, looking back on the actual execution of the class talked about here, it was pretty bad. Fortunately in literally any edition of D&D you can make an urban druid by writing "druid" on your character sheet and then discussing with your GM...
