    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    Zerg? Tome of Beasts has been on my list to pick up for awhile. Maybe time to do so. Thanks!

    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    Yeah, the Core Spawn seem a bit on the high side for their CRs, but only one has an AoE. The CR 1 crawler has pack tactics and 4 attacks, which could get deadly quick. I assume they are tough because Critical Role has a party of 7+ and they can handle it. This is part of the reason I am looking...

    D&D General Wildemount's Core Spawn

    I am building up to a big adventure site with Core Spawn (from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount -- they are Critical Role's spin on the Star Spawn from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes). I want to expand their ranks so I am looking for any suggestions of third party monsters that fit their alien...

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Yes, large shareholders as you mention get reps on boards, but I would still say I doubt executive boards weighed in on the initial decision making we have seen from WotC. That level of micromanaging would be silly. Do you really think the OGL plan was an agenda item on a board-level meeting? I...

    D&D 5E (2024) MichaelSomething's Official Statement on the 2014 D&D rules going out of print

    They had more than that one commercial. Not as many as something like McDonald's or a car company, but I think I saw 3 or 4. Plus they advertised in a few mainstream magazines.

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Just to be clear, Hasbro/WotC business decisions are not made by the shareholders. Well, the execs who do make those decisions are shareholders, but only a tiny percentage of them. I know as I do own a few shares of Hasbro stock, and I was never asked to vote on the OGL issue or any other...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the latest/last printings of the 2014 core rulebooks?

    If no one knows a definitive answer, I would appreciate it if folks could post up the latest printings of books they have seen/purchased recently. A few reports could give me a good idea of what I should be looking for. Thanks in advance!

    D&D 5E (2024) MichaelSomething's Official Statement on the 2014 D&D rules going out of print

    Way back in the day, D&D had some TV commercials. Here is one I remember seeing:

    WotC Greg Tito On Leaving WotC: 'It feels good to do something that doesn't just line the pockets of *****'

    Freedom of speech in the USA only protects one from any retaliation by the government. It does not spare you from actions taken by private individuals, like future employers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Ah! I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought the statblock section you provided was a block you were critiquing, and not your own example.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 House Rules / Fixes

    I currently tie it to Shield Proficiency: If you are proficient: 1 Bonus Action to equip, Free Action to drop. If you are not proficient: 1 Action to equip, 1 Bonus Action to drop. I like this idea! I really would like more general Reactions for all PCs and NPCs. Interesting... I will have to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    Usually true, but there will be cases where creatures have Reach, so it's good to call that out. Also, there will be targets at the edge of a range increment, and I have to stop and think "Do they get Disadvantage on this attack?" I am too old (and/or played too many editions) to remember every...

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    I think they are leading the viewers to think the Stranger is Gandalf, but I think it's not him. Poppy and Nori even talk about him needing to find a "gand" (wand) to better control his power, but that seems too obvious to me.

    Additionally, even if they were focused on automation, re-rolling Initiative every round could make spells and effects last longer or shorter than they should.

    Spoilers Rings of Power is back!

    Today was the first time I heard "seven dwarves" as opposed to the usual "seven dwarf-lords" and it immediately brought Snow White to mind. I then had a mental image of Grumpy with a Ring of Power... :ROFLMAO:

    Did Marc Miller sell Traveller to Mongoose?

    Over on Mongoose's site they have some discussion. Looks like more tomorrow: https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/whats-up-with-traveller-ip.124918/post-980612 Edited to add: It does not sound like he has sold it, but has set up a succession plan.
