    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    But could you say these are Ravenloft without huge RAVENLOFT on the cover?

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    Well you answered yourself here. You run long-term Ravenloft games and you wouldn't allow this party. However, this party is suited to a weekend in hell, which you do not run, and which is also the scenario they find themselves in.

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    No, I'm not using an edition that has those rules, nor do I feel it would be in any way beneficial, especially when those characters left early on. The thing is you can voice these complaints without having to shoehorn in some stupid nickname for new Ravenloft. It comes across as condescending...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    hmmm None of these covers has anything that inherently says Ravenloft. If you removed the title and just hsowed people the pictures, maybe the last two would get people to say gothic horror, thought I doubt it, I'm getting Umberto Eco and Rumpelstintskin respectively. First cover especially...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    I laugh at the idea a party with Cleric and Paladin has anything to fear in world full of "real monsters"...that these two classes are basically natural predators of. In my own Ravenlfot experience, the game with either of them isn't scary because they steamroll all those undead. My own campaign...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    I did not use Darth Vader out of nowhere, I did it because Soth is clealry BASED off Vader. And my entire point was to illustrate you cannot judge a book by its cover - because just by the cover of Black Rose Knight...let's be honest, it doesn't say "horror", it says "generic fantasy book about...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    The thing is, people judge these characters based on the cover art and one-sentence descriptions. And by those Standards Lord Soth is just "Darth Vader clone".

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    Why not? Is it really any different from a typical d&d party? I'm not mocking the lineup, but I will do it anyway. Builds under the links Human Fighter and Light Cleric with Magic Sword passed down by his late father, seeking to return home and slay evil wizard who murdered his family Human...

    Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Cover, Synopsis Revealed

    The positives: I really like the party defying stereotypes this much, it makes it interesting to see how a first canonical Orc Wizard or Drow Barbarian will feel like. Negatives: I had to double check because at first glance on the cover the girl and the kenku meld in such a way I thought she's...

    Okay so the weapons will be a thing I will fix in a moment and I will research tools to see if anything could work for Monks.

    Level Up (A5E) Using A5E with MCDM 5e Books?

    Has anyone tried to use this combination? In particular Flee Mortals! (I found out there is a team of villains in that book that would work great in a campaign I would consider A5E for), but I'm also curious about Strongholds & Followers and Kingdoms & Warfare, especially sice I do not know if...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    But But doesn't that happen only if PC is away from the bastion and cannot contact it through means like Sending spell? That was the impression I was getting. In fact some videos from people makign early reviews of the DMG outright say that if you remember to cast sending every week, DM never...

    D&D 5E (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

    How much is the DM permitted to interact with a Bastion and is it really something utterly detached from the setting wotld?

    Hasbro Hit With Layoffs, Wizards of the Coast Impacted

    In words of Stephanie Sterling, companies aren't "hit" with layoffs, companies indulge in them.

    D&D 5E (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    I think this is snothr dea they borrowed from third party, I think Kaiju monsters in yuko's Guide to Spirit Realms (or whatever the book from youtuber DnD Shorts is called, forgot proper name) had similiar mechanic.
