    D&D General 5.5 and making the game easier for players and harder for DMs

    TBH, I've already noted an increase in monster lethality. I mainly run pre-published adventures, and ran Light of Xaryxis twice, noticing there are some new monsters with the capability for 1-hit KOs and just a lot of the newer monsters were punching way better than their CR equivalents in the...

    D&D General 5.5 and making the game easier for players and harder for DMs

    The focus has been primarily on the player side, but I'm assuming the revised books will see a general power boost on both sides of the DM screen. It's already been said that several monsters have been found to not match their CR. A rearranged DMG with cleaner encounter guidelines will make it...

    D&D 5E (2024) Green Dragon First Look on Gizmodo

    All the new dragon designs feel like they've got a lot longer tails than before. Overall, I like.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

    I hate our current capricious and unchecked capitalism, but I find it hard to get particularly upset over this one. We've been asking for digital/paper integration, and tbh, if I weren't in Canada, dealing with exchange rate and international shipping, this might actually get me into buying...

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    For those that are interested in the world building of Bloomburrow, first three chapters of the story are now up: Part 1: Bloomburrow | Episode 1: Calamity Comes to Valley Part 2: Bloomburrow | Episode 2: An Expected Party Part 3: Bloomburrow | Episode 3: The Lost and the Found And ... I think...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Players Handbook reveal: "New Crafting Rules"

    Also, just like in MTG, a lot of wands and magic implements get stylized to look like guns these days. The recent Cowboy Magic set had a lot of ... these aren't guns, but they're practically guns.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Players Handbook reveal: "New Crafting Rules"

    This was more a tease and not actual rules (but I can't wait for the cavalcade of how broken or useless these rules are), but in principal, this is a good addition to 5e.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook preview: "New Spells"

    But he also said that while playing BG3, which matches my experience. The challenge is the game makes it a two step process. Step 1: Ignite the orb/ cast the spell Step 2: Attack with it And it is annoying, you have to click on the spell, confirm the casting, click on the Throw fire icon...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Ranger"

    First ... bold claim to call this 1/2 the fan base. Second, I know a lot of people like calling Jeremy Crawford a lying liar who lies, but I do remember him saying that until the second pass at the Monk got rave reviews, the Ranger was leading for "best improved class" in playtests. I dunno...

    D&D 5E (2024) How you going to roll... 5.24 into your game(s)?

    I don't have an active 5e campaign, tbh I have been holding off starting one until the revised books come out. Planning to just make the change, use older material as necessary, but just change over

    D&D 5E (2024) What happened to proficiency bonus times per day?

    I bombed out of PF2 long before that, but I will say that I do believe you need more than one approach. 4e, prior to PH3, you only had feat-based multiclassing and it wasn't great except for that desire to just dip a toe into another class. But also having Hybrid classes allowed more...

    D&D 5E (2024) What happened to proficiency bonus times per day?

    A la carte multiclassing like 3rd and 5th editions, I will definitely agree. I preferred 4e style, with either Hybrid classes or Multiclassing via feats.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranger 2024 is a bigger joke than Ranger 2014:

    Heh. Next you'll think it's unhinged to post a thread today about how useless the 2024 Monk is.

    These are three classes I'm most interested in ... and the Cleric.

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    Ask me again after Bloomburrow comes out. Right now, I don't know enough about the world to know if I'd want to have a campaign there. That said, yes, in principle, I would be down for an anthropomorphized small animal DnD campaign setting.
