As of right now, it's the first dmsguild supplement to dethrone Exploring Eberron from the #1 spot in the hot bar in the last 106 days. I don't think that will last though, the low price tag means it would have to sustain over 6x the sales of ExE. (The hot bar is based on total $$ sales). By...

Everyone else will post about the mechanics stuff, so let's talk lore SCAG Wall of the Faithless retcon? So that's a major lore change right? ERFTLW Eberron ones look good, although they missed a reference in chapter 2 where they say This was sorta-kinda the old lore, but the Lady Illmarrow...

Not a lawyer, but my limited exposure to US legal briefs indicates they can be written in more readable formats - I was reminded by the Epic Games vs. Apple brief which was also more publicly readable.

Not to state the obvious but this seems like something that will get settled. For those wondering with regards to DL being inclusive, this line from the complaint doesn't make sense until the end bit (emphasis mine). I find it unlikely they're outright omitting prior complaints about not being...

I think one angle that might work is Melysse Miron and the Tarnished - basically, tests to see if the party is really servants of Bel Shalor.

So, I think we need some more context - what kind of monastery is this? Most are probably pretty open, but if you're turning this into a dungeon there's probably other things going on.

Good stuff, I'm a fan.

Re: Eberron - Keith Baker is good friends with Kristian Serrano, who wrote the Eberron for Savage Worlds conversion and up until recently was a co-host of the Manifest Zone Podcast. For Dark Sun I'd say Savage Worlds as well, but afaik lots of folks at that point jump over to Dragon Kings...

Yeah that's very intentional, a big part of the pro subscription is the photo booth

Yeah, the three books I reference for the "mostly gray" are Five Nations, the Forge of War, and Faiths of Eberron (notably, the books Keith didn't write). In all fairness, I don't think Keith himself would agree with his earliest writings (Dragonshards -- Church of the Silver Flame, Part 1). But...

Keith's commentary on the CotSF is that it's supposed to be mostly good with some dark spots, rather than mostly gray with a mix of white and black spots.

Just to shill Eberron, Keith today posted an article about an entirely different culture of gnomes http://keith-baker.com/dm-lorghalen/

While I know there was serious backlash to 4e's PHB2 delaying things like half orcs, gnomes, and druids, I actually really like the extra thought they put into some historically troubled races. Fey gnomes were a really good addition to core, and even in Eberron where I feel gnomes had the best...

I think WotC will feel comfortable going back to the "peak" of old settings - Dark Sun 4e ignored everything after the first novel and is clearly held in high regard despite other issues people have with the system.

Arcane Recovery is good. I will baseline say I think if we're keeping Preserver, that should be the base wizard and then Defiler should be an option that is an upgrade with both an environmental/RP cost and some mechanical cost, probably in the form of hit dice. While at first I was thinking the...

The Eberron comment is super weird, it's been the second most popular setting for ages. Also, some official wotc numbers (from 2 years ago) The popularity of settings in the survey fell into three distinct clusters. Not surprisingly, our most popular settings from prior editions landed at the...

The core setting of 5e is the Forgotten Realms - all the fluff in the PHB is for them. Magic in other settings works differently, as described in the setting book. EG in Theros it comes from Nyx, while in Eberron it flows from a mix of sources. The exact nature of Psionics varies from setting to...

Yeah the three 4e settings were FR, Eberron, then Dark Sun. But as noted, Eberron is very popular and already got a full setting book last year and had playtest mechanics long before that. (First UA was Eberron, and WGTE came out summer 2018)

I think what people are missing is that Wizards have a unique form of ritual casting that makes up their actual class features. Clerics have to prepare ritual spells to access them, which from my experience is a pretty meaningful cost. By contrast, my wizard has always been able to prepare a...

Oh I saw the Dreamhaven news but I didn't notice Kate's name on their list. Big pickup for both sides!
