A new blog post posted by a trans person essentially argues that it's Xandering the dungeon that should be avoided. Honestly, I felt uneasy about the whole renaming, and seeing how Alexander has approached the issue really eroded my trust in him. Now that Jennell is gone and we can never really...

I am truly saddened to hear this. May she rest in peace, and may her design inspire many more hobbyists to come.

I know, but firing a senior designer for two of your mainline games still seems like a big thing.

Holy crap, I was not expecting to see Mearls's name among those let go. I feel like this will disrupt their future plans massively. And I think it's high time I divested myself from WotC to play D&D.

Oh yeah, my interpretation is definitely a stretch! But we are trying to salvage a runaway line from a story arc that aired 37 years ago and belongs to an era of the show that is grealy maligned for its writing, so any workable version of the Valeyard will definitely take a loooot of creative...

Technically the line goes "Somewhere between the Doctor's twelth and final incarnation", IIRC - you could interpret that as being anywhere between 12 and the ones that come after him.

This would be the only way with which I'd be okay with this, but I don't think any sane writer wants to truly tackle the Valeyard. It's got more Continuity Snarl to deal with than it's worth.

There were so many other ways they could do this without adding this much twist to the continuity (for instance, couldn't 15 intervene and then say "You sit there and rest now, eventually you'll become me and I'll take the mantle). I feel like this causes the whole series to be overshadowed by...

Hm. I'm not sure if we all heard the same rumours. Here's what I heard (obviously big spoilers for the Giggle if they prove to be correct):

I heard about these too. There's one very specific and nerdy way they could go with this idea that would be really cool, I think. But otherwise if the leaks prove to be correct, I'm afraid Doctor Who will forevermore live under the shadow of one specific guy and I really dislike that idea.

So far, I've finished two long term 5e campaigns, where one ended at Level 20 and the other at Level 18. For me, high level support is a big deal. When I run games, reaching beyond level 12 is not a lofty goal but something I actively encourage. So the game meaningfully supporting high levels...

They seem to have reposted all the announcements without any fixed dates, and the Core Rulebook image only promises the PHB for 2024 now. I'm guessing they were not supposed to share the dates, and they certainly weren't supposed to imply that all 3 rulebooks were coming at the same time.

Sorry if I came across as too aggressive. That wasn't my intention!

Eh, I chalk it to a difference in playstyles. I don't think they're annoying, and I do think it's a bit presumptous of you to call them that when you don't know our table dynamics, but different people have different playstyles and we came up with a crafting system that makes everyone happy, so...

I think this might also be tied to people being already tired of 2e (the 90s essentially being a time of glut due to splatbook fatigue, Magic/Vampire taking away players and AD&D 2e being seen as "that old game nobody plays anymore", from what I understand) when 3e was coming out. While 3.5 did...

Consider this: Maybe we don't get to decide what is insulting for a person? Something that feels completely normal to you may be insulting to them, and if that's the case, I think it's both unhelpful and incredibly bad manners to go "This isn't insulting, stop feeling insulted!" I didn't really...

I mean, you're not wrong about 5E not having an encounter math... But I did backport Level Up's encounter math to 5E :P I did consider the idea about counting summons as a new monster (essentially like temporary sidekicks), but that bothers me in a different way. If there are guides on how to...

So I've been delving back into 5E's fundamental math for a bit, and the summon spells (all different variations of it) have me stumped. When it comes to calculating a spell's power level, 5E's fundamental math is of some help. We know there is a certain ratio in each monster's hit points, attack...

I'm a few days late, but are people in the forums familiar enough to make extremely personal and judgemental comments about what someone should or shouldn't do? Or are some people such massive wangrods that they'd put their nose into how other people they don't know should spend their hobby time?

I found all the mods I'm using over at NexusMods, and they all have instructions on how to install each one. The ones I've got are: -Mod Fixer (I think this is necessary for any mod to work) -Native Mod Loader (this is also needed for the other mods) -Achievement Enabler (this allows me to...
