The easiest way to understand this concept is to study it, to understand that expertise is possible and to trust the experts. It is not a situation of catering to every single potentially offended person.

I REALLY want that Swarm of Undead version of a Necro

I play in public. People don't laugh. They frequently ask what we're doing. Some even watch a full session. I speak about D&D in a very niche industry of risk intelligence. I got applause at the end with several people telling me I inspired them to play a first time or again. My 5e campaigns are...

If you have Strixhaven, look into the Oriq and Mage Hunter (it's a monstrosity) An Eldritch Knight hasn't been mentioned yet, but building one around Shield, Dispel Magic and Counterspell seems vital. I'd like a Clockwork Sorc, as Restore Balance and Bastion of Law (lev 6) can limit magic's...

I love that the Arcane Archer expanded to include crossbows, firearms and even slings. But why ignore tales about thrown weapon specialists still?

Reality is that McDonald's is doing quite well.

Why would I empower my players to make the best choices for their character they want to play? Because I like playing with them.

A discussion about different approaches to nature & nurture throughout the wider 5e and other D&D games would belong where? Saying it's only for variants ignores that I can use a ToV Halfling and a 2024 Halfling and Level Up Halfling and a 2014 Halfling all at the same table

My next campaign is set in a rough & tumble frontier land of raw elemental power (lot of geysers, hot springs, tornadoes, etc). But it's also intended to be a backup to the main campaign. We may just get 30 minutes or less of warning for a player group of 1-3 people. Here's more about the...

A license is more close when you use it and it cannot be ported to other licenses. It is more open when you use it and it can be used in other licenses. Open does not equal viral. ORC is a one way door. Creative Commons is not.

The people declaring "everything should be open" did not do that with their own material built off of more open licenses There's a certain level in deceit when a proponent of open licenses uses a more closed license while building off of open ones that have been tested in court

It's notable that the two largest publishers that use the ORC took someone else's design and then locked it away in the ORC, rather than continuing it in the license it was published under

I'm currently inspired to make a new random encounter/scene table for my upcoming campaign.

The Lorwyn-Shadowmoor Magic Set drops in Jan 2026 btw

Have you seen me cook? I have to concentrate, and let me tell you, when I take damage while cooking that elixir isn't turning out properly
