    D&D 5E (2014) Phandelver & Below's Full Description

    I am excited for this release. I have already started converting LMoP to be run in Greyhawk, Sterich post-war of the giants 595CY. I hope they don't go too heavy on the factions for FR, but it will just be another thing to convert. I also don't mind being in a backwater location for 12 levels...

    Pathfinder 2E Take A Look At Pathfinder Remaster's Edicts & Anathema

    Really this is Paladin Oaths writ small. Every society has mores and taboos. For most sentient creatures cannibalism is taboo, but lizardfolk and kreen might see not eating the dead as wasteful. Does that make a lizardfolk paladin slightly evil? Edicts and anathemas just fine tune the alignment...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock Mechanics - The best representation of modern fantasy archetypes in Dnd

    The appeal in the design of the warlock is it's simplicity. You are limited compared to a wizard who has a spell book of choices to indulge multiple times a day. The most powerful warlock has a handful of spells of level 5 and lower plus a few invocations and mystic arcanum. Eldritch blast spam...

    WotC D&D Direct—Video Event From WotC Coming Next Week

    I imagine we learn about Giants, the Phandelver campaign and Planescape. There will be some teasers about the VTT and new digital features coming. I imagine they will also release the next playtest packet and pimp that a bit. Finally they will have a tease of a surprise being unveiled at Gen-Con...

    D&D 5E (2024) What would you put in 1D&D from 4E?

    Bloodied. Minions. Are easy amendments to 5E. Nothing better than slashing through mooks on the way to the BBEG. Bloodied with a list of actions/reactions for players and monsters triggered by the condition could be a page if done as a chart with a paragraph or two description on the mechanic...

    Kyle Brink Interviewed by Teos Abadia (Alphastream) on OGL, WotC, & D&D

    I am surprised at the quick turn around by WotC over the OGL debacle. Corps aren't generally nimble. They also aren't always good to reaching out to mend fences. Look at the first letter responding to the OGL 1.1, 'we both won' indeed. Having Kyle Brinks come out and talk to 'creators' is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revel's End... magi-tech that jumps the shark!

    I was weaned on pulp fantasy and Thundarr the Barbarian so magi-tech is not a deal breaker to me. Lazy writing is lazy writing. There are ways that magic would approach keeping people imprisoned that would not correlate to modern tech. Bring that to the mix and I am a happy DM. I don't want a...

    D&D Movie/TV Just saw Simon the Sorcerer's Action Figure (HUGE SPOILER WARNING)

    I apologize for thinking Brian Blessed had passed. I must have hallucinated the news and subsequent threads I talked about him in. I, too, am very glad the world still has Mr. Blessed in it.

    D&D Movie/TV Just saw Simon the Sorcerer's Action Figure (HUGE SPOILER WARNING)

    Ian McKellan obviously. I always imagined Elminster being a bit like Brian Blessed, RIP.

    D&D Movie/TV Where is all of the Honor Among Thieves D&D stuff, WotC?

    WotC dropped the ball on tie-ins. Starter set, dice sets, DM screens are all low hanging fruit. It is literally putting a variant cover on a box. Slightly higher level of effort would be a starter set with the heroes of the film as mentor characters in a new entry level Neverwinter adventure...

    D&D Movie/TV There's A New Trailer For D&D: Honor Among Thieves

    I find fun disagrees with my digestion. So I have to limit how much fun I can handle in a day. Still I made this trailer part of my recommended daily allowance.

    D&D General WotC Reveals New Information and Covers for 'Keys from the Golden Vault'

    That quasit on the regular cover is darn ugly and the forced perspective is off somehow to me. The alt cover is fine, it is just really boring. 13 unconnected heist adventures is already a low interest item for me. The example posted above does not fill me with interest to mine the book for...

    D&D Movie/TV There's A New Trailer For D&D: Honor Among Thieves

    I think they may have a hit movie. The CGI has come a long way. Seeing Red Wizards, Displacer Beasts and Owlbears heavily featured in a big budget movie trailer is an experience I never thought I would see.
