    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    A desire to learn and play the game that they are interested in? Why wouldn't someone new to the game buy the books?

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    There's 3 pages on dungeons. I don't know what the part in brackets is meant to mean? Are you confused as to why someone new to the game would buy the books in an attempt to learn the game?

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    Fiends aren't in one location, they're in 3 different sections. Dinosaurs might be a better example.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    Not specifically, just a general index… Apologies for the bad quality photo. I’d be happy if just the bosses had their own section. But even with the limited categories here, I don’t dig it. I should note I’ve never actually used the book in play, I just use it as a casual flick through for...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    The Dark Souls 5E book had monsters arranged by type and I found it to be an awful way to organize things.

    Watching films at the cinema - also, RIP David Lynch.

    I agree with Lynch on this one. Movies are better in a cinema. Thankfully it's pretty rare for me to have a bad movie going experience, and I go every couple of weeks. I'm not sure if it's an Australian thing, or that I tend to go to arthouse/indy cinemas rather than the massive multiplexes...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    Just adding to the discussion. As for Wuxia being more common than sandbox campaigns, I have no idea. Is it OK to leave out Wuxia because it's not a common playstyle?

    There's no mention of Wuxia themed campaigns in the 24 DMG either. And yet, I'm sure people will still play Wuxia themed games.

    WizKids Announces D&D Monster Manual Minis, Featuring New Designs

    The Skeletons and Zombies of different species was a neat addition to that set.

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

    My DM mixed in things from a fair chunk of the adventure campaigns, but I still feel like I’ve only played a fraction of the 5E dungeons. Off the top of my head, some of my favourites were: Cragmore Castle, Wave Echo Cave and Ythryn the Necropolis

    WizKids Announces D&D Monster Manual Minis, Featuring New Designs

    I missed the list in the OP, was trying to find the name on the image, lol. I like that it could also be used for a homebrewed Gnoll Mummy.

    D&D General Recommend me a somewhat contained setting

    I’m kinda curious of those that do run sandboxes, do you a use homebrew setting, or a pre-existing campaign setting? Do you have a go to setting or does it differ with each campaign?

    WizKids Announces D&D Monster Manual Minis, Featuring New Designs

    Some nice sculpts there. Love the mummy gnoll (or whatever it is?) I’ll have to see the full set, I think my days of buying a brick of each set is behind me. Overall I think the quality of WizKids minis has improved over time, I just have pretty much everything I need at this point. I’m...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    The only way a gaming style can go extinct is if no one plays that way anymore. And the only way that can happen is if no one enjoys that style of play anymore. And if no one enjoys that style of play, is it really any great loss? Reading this thread has made me realise that what I thought was...

    WizKids to Release Glow-in-the-Dark D&D Miniatures

    You’re probably right, it’s usually gotta be dark enough that you wouldn’t be able to read your character sheet for it to actually work. In all honesty we struggled to read our sheets by candlelight as it was, it was something that didn’t last, but was some dumb fun at the time. I can see a...

    WizKids to Release Glow-in-the-Dark D&D Miniatures

    We used to play by candlelight in high school. All our character sheets had burnt edges. Why not glow in the dark minis? You can see some more of the set here… MinisGallery - D&D Underdark Expeditions

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    Yeah, something like Skyrim is more open world. But it has a massive sandbox element. I spent way more time playing the game after I finished the story. My favourite memories were spending weeks as a vampire getting chased out of towns, sneaking around, etc…

    Yeah, probably one of the best examples.
