His hunt connects us all 🕸️

No, the name Paladin still has some cachet, I think 5e struck the right balance of flexibility for different settings while still feeling like a Paladin. I do worry that the Paladin does make design of other gish-esque classes tricky because it clearly stakes out its design space, I wouldn't...

High level ballroom is very athletic, but I get it's not everyone's cup of tea. Heck, I only competed at a middling level and a full round of Jive reduced my legs to jelly.

There is no way to trade or cash out of MtG Arena, it's entirely a sunk cost. One could with their earlier client, MTG Online, which does support trading and selling and renting cards. But ... that client is ancient and shows it. Honestly, that's why while I still play paper MTG, I don't touch...

From what I've heard ... and this is from a political podcast so I'd take it with some salt ... Breakdancing is under the umbrella of Dancesport which has been championing Ballroom Dance as an Olympic sport for awhile and pushing Breakdancing was kinda just a change in tactics to see a...

Multiclassing before level 3 ... delays subclass choice, not a fan. Multiclassing before level 4 ... delays feat and an improvement to an ability score ... still not a fan. Multiclassing before level 5 with a martial class ... delays Extra Attack, Really not a fan. Look, if this was for a...

Staying within the WotC IP, I'm game for more MTG setting books. Bloomburrow, for example, I think would be a great addition to the DnD Multiverse. Kamigawa, Kaladesh or Amonkhet (I know it had a Planeshift article) possibly. Other crossovers? I can't think of any right now that excite me. I...

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Hopefully, wardrobe will have more budget and time ... he looked huge under that coat, and Gambit supposed to be lithe

Solid fun, finally saw it. My friends and I were left wondering ... was this queer or were we being queerbaited? And does it matter? The plot made about as much sense as any multiversal shenanigans or the average Doctor Who episode when they get really "timey-wimey". IE, don't sweat the...

I like Ideals/Bonds/Flaws and Personality Traits for NPCs in adventure write-ups. Gave a fairly succinct summary of the NPC and how to roleplay them.

... They did two seasons of Punisher?!? I really lost track of Marvel Netflix

Was that any good? TBH, after Iron Fist and Defenders, I tapped out on the Netflix Marvel series. And the Punisher stuff was the weakest part for me with Daredevil's second season

My read on the interview as a whole was that Lanzillo is interested in broadening DnD's appeal and expanding their audience, and that does run into a lot of gatekeeping. Drilling into one example seems to ... hunting for reasons to claim the sky is falling.

Which church? For which setting? Which Diety? Do we need Eberron-specific Paladins with separate class features than Forgotten Realms Paladins? A slightly more generic Paladin is to widen the appeal and simplify design. I view this as a feature, not a bug.

Or does it? (Pretty sure it does work as you intended, but couldn't resist referencing an old comic)

I dunno, maybe I'm just too sanguine because I'm a permissive DM by nature, but I can't imagine saying no to the player that wants to make a swap or two and that these backgrounds are suggestions, not written in stone. A player wants to get their Luke Skywalker on and play a Sorcerer with...

I also like that if you're going to optimize "by the book", than this set up for backgrounds provides more challenge than just customizing to one's heart's content ... and it encourages interaction with the DM. I don't mind allowing a few swaps, but free form backgrounds felt a little too free...

It's a shame we couldn't get something like that again. I do think a lot of my enjoyment and fondness for 4e came from the Encounters program. Sure, it was a little vexing to just play through levels 1-3 (sometimes up to 5) over and over, but it was a way to try out different classes and I made...

That reminds me, more support for LGSes and organized play. I played a lot of 4e because an LGS ran DnD Encounters. I DMed most of it because the adventure material was free and I got to keep it, so I have a bunch of poster maps and adventure content.
