    D&D 5E (2014) African campaign setting, "Wagadu Chronicles" being developed by Twin Drums

    The same could be said about pretty much any setting that uses D&D tropes while being inspired by real-world cultures. Medieval Europe didn't have D&D's weird branch of polytheism or Vancian wizards either. To me, as long as the author understands and respects the source material, D&D with funny...

    D&D 5E (2014) On meaningless restrictions

    I agree about skills, but doing the same with saving throws would open a huge avenue for making some classes stronger than intended, in my opinion, by offsetting what would be generally their weak spots. The example of casters and the concentration mechanic was mentioned in an earlier post, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) On whether sorcerers and wizards should be merged or not, (they shouldn't)

    That works great for a bard or warlock. I don't think inborn magic users who throw fire at enemies while making them sleep before becoming invisible and flying away is a common fantasy trope. Innate fantasy mystics usually have the focus that the sorcerer lacks exactly because it's supposed to...

    D&D 5E (2014) On whether sorcerers and wizards should be merged or not, (they shouldn't)

    My short answer would be: they should, but that ship has sailed. Then, we could have a class with a distinguishing identity to represent characters with inborn magical abilities. The RAW sorcerer is a very poor representation of the archetype, in my opinion. "Like a wizard, but charismatic and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Could 5E Use A Branded Magazine In Stores (Again)?

    I don't want to derail the discussion here, but old does not mean obsolete. I don't have the knowledge to say that this would apply in any way for a discussion of paper vs. digital, but regarding vinyl and cassette, what you're saying is not right. Both media types can provide a specific...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC Removes Latest Unearthed Arcana

    Well, someone in this thread already said that removing the philter of love from the list of magic items would be a good idea. Definitely not straw people. Besides, it's pretty characteristic of language that a single word can be used with different meanings to describe many things. Deities of...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC Removes Latest Unearthed Arcana

    That's why I say most, not all. I'm running the level 1-4 part of Descent into Avernus right now, and I'd find it difficult to have it happen as intended if the players didn't play fast and loose with the murderous attitude that's mostly expected from the party. Also, tomb-robbing and...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC Removes Latest Unearthed Arcana

    I didn't. But I'll not ignore the fact that people discussing issues of morality in D&D could start by the fact that most D&D characters are ruthless contract killers with a natural bent for tomb-robbing and corpse-defiling before discussing if a love charm is a reasonable class feature. Isn't...

    It's the satanic panic of this century. Assassins, half-orcs, and demons are ok again, but we should be careful before placing a love potion in a treasure hoard... :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) Could 5E Use A Branded Magazine In Stores (Again)?

    One would say that about vinyl records some years ago. Heck, even the cassette tape still gets some love in independent music circles. Most media have features that go beyond the information contained within, innovative creators will work with that to create an experience that cannot be exported...
