    D&D General One Piece of Art IV (Races)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Race (Lineage, Ancestry)

    As a wee tyke, I came across the Jeff Dee illustration of Phoebus, a human fighter reincarnated as a lizard man in the Rogues Gallery. I was determined to play a lizardman character. So Semris, the lizardman assassin was born in ~1984. I have loved Lizardmen since the heady days of dying to...

    D&D 5E (2024) August 18th Tarrasque-sized D&D News (Poll)

    VTT announcement but no beta, just alpha footage. New MtG setting for both MtG and 5E to release simultaneously. An RTS game for Dragonlance to spin off from the board game battle system. Teasers for a previous D&D setting (May it be Greyhawk to appease Snarf and prevent his horrible wrath)...

    D&D General One Piece of Art II (Monsters)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Monster?

    I do love this and it forever cemented my idea that giant spiders were furry jumping spiders rather than web-making sleek orb weavers.

    WotC can release a Psion wizard subclass with a custom 'psionic' spell list and a few ribbon abilities. There will be no 'psionic system' for 5E from WotC. I agree with @delericho Defiling should be a constant temptation, if not the default state of arcane magic. I hate the idea of automatic...

    D&D General One Piece of Art II (Monsters)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Monster?

    I know I am not a smart man, but there has been a slip up here and there. I have lots of arts I like too.

    I think he was being a bit acerbic about how we have tangented well and away from the purpose of the thread which is Spelljammer to discuss the merits of Dark Sun based on Athas-esque elements in a Spelljammer adventure... But yes, WotC has not ruined our childhood(young adulthood?) with this...

    Artist: Jim Holloway Source: Dragon Magazine #127 Monster: Orc Long before Warcraft, this was my perception of orcs, fighting to the last for their honor and standard. Sidenote, this is the Dragon where Tucker's Kobolds premiered in the editorial.

    We need to stop thinking that 'pissing off Dark Sun fans' is a threat to future sales. There are very few 'Dark Sun purist fans' in proportion to the player base. Doomspace is a sample of the process of rethinking DS for 5E. It might not be where DS winds up, but it obviously had work put into...

    I thought that, but the Athasspace ballyhoo, the psionics, the term defiler, and the Athas name for lizardfolk are all very Dark Sun related. It would be tone deaf of WotC to change the name Athasspace to Doomspace but leave Defiler when it doesn't cast an arcane spell. We shall see

    Hmm, the Defiling in the stat block is a nice monster ability. It has nothing to do with defiler casting for Dark Sun except to show that defiling may affect all living materials not just plant life. I am fine with that change, but I do not see the correlation with increased spell power. Just...

    I think you're right. There will be no more effort devoted to psionics other than feats or backgrounds. I do think Dark Sun will be reimagined considerably, so either a time jump or remix of both boxsets and 4E. Defiling and Preserver magic hasn't been UA tested explicitly. I would think based...

    I'm sold. (To be honest, I was sold long before.) This looks like a really nice update to Spelljammer. I hope the adventure will be as engaging as it seems. As for Doomspace vs Athasspace: I sense a bit of light trolling going on. Dark Sun will be a big undertaking. I don't know that they will...
