I, personally, would prefer a new system for psionics. Crawford has never been interested in psionics for D&D. That is not a slam, it is a legitimate preference. To me, spell slots are one of the most boring concepts for a magic system imaginable, but it is what magic is in D&D. It is why the...

Attention Shoppers, there is a Blue Skin Special in the Housewares aisle.

The '84 drop-off is because big box stores stopped carrying D&D. They didn't reorder and sold out of their existing stock. The economy was rough, so there was less disposable income. I think the edition changes confused retailers more than players. Do they stock AD&D books? Or the much more...

So let's boil down Athas to the bare bones of the setting. Athas is a world in its death throes. Magic is fueled by life energy and is feared and despised by the populace. There are City-States ruled by powerful magic wielders who war with each other. There is a limited amount of metal. The...

You fly your fleet of spelljamming ships into Doomspace and immediately all your air goes to fouled (poisonous). The Living Flag Ship of the expedition, commanded by Entmaster Duravale begins to shrivel as all the ships return to jamming speed after slowing when crossing the system border...

They mention Hadozee traveling to Krynn in the D&D Beyond clip but don't mention the 'Shadow People' by name.

This one is a kind of useless conjecture. The walls between BECMI, AD&D, and 2e were more of a curb than a wall. I imagine many more played D&D of some kind, if only for a time or two. Ryan Dancey's estimate range of 8-11 million seems too high but 4 million seems to be missing some data points...

I would like to also see a variety of 'fur' styles, like human hairstyles as well. I like the 3E hadozee artwork along with the 5E and Starfrontiers. I love the concept of Grodd, Gorilla City and the Ultrahumanite style characters.

I would prefer if the Hadozee art leaned more heavily into the Planet of the Apes aesthetic with chimp, orangutan, and mountain gorilla-type builds and fur. I never thought of Yazirians as ape-like, I too thought they were bat people. I like this mini though. Hadozee

Like I said the producer and the directors don't seem to be too worried about a suit and continue to advertise for Critical Role with every press junket. I doubt this was a surprise to Mercer and Co. either. There are rumors of CR cameos in the film.

I like them, but really they are in a crowded design space. They are so different from other elves, they might as well not be elves. They are super tall, don't worship Corellon, and are connected with the earth and stone. Why not replace them with super xenophobic/isolationist Earth Genasi or...

Now, are we talking Shmoo from Lil' Abner or Gloop and Gleep from Herculoids? Gloop and Gleep are much more heroic. Shmoo are just delicious.

Why is this an argument? If Critical Role has an issue with the Doric character infringing on their IP rights, they will file a cease and desist or negotiate a settlement with Paramount. Considering the amount of press surrounding Sophia Lillis being an avid player of D&D and a devoted fan of...

If 5E is not thrilling you, there are plenty of other systems to scratch that itch, even digging out whichever old edition you prefer. I have jumped into running Symbaroum when I need a different feel. I find that I can't recover any joy from playing old editions of D&D. The little...

They certainly aren't duergar that's for sure. I imagined that was a Green Flame Blade cantrip.

Druids turn into an owlbear using bear stats. Why make it hard? Let people reskin stuff to be unique as long as it doesn't interfere with everyone else.

Most likely Thayan subordinates to the Red Wizard Lich. Or less piercings Shadar Kai?
