    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    Only played this once or twice in a boardgame cafe but it was pretty good from memory, one worth a purchase.

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    I haven't had a chance to listen yet, is this in reference to each subclass having alternate effects that can be chosen or subclasses that can be made for multiple classes? I remember the Strixhaven subclasses and how they were for more than a single class but didn't quite work. Then they...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    +2 missiles per additional spell level would put magic missile in the right spot, right now I don't think I really cast it at a higher level because 1 additional missile won't really make much difference. I still like the spell though, can be handy when you know the enemy is close to dead and...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Unfortunately they will be tinker gnomes from Krynn. Each book will be over 800 pages long and even after reading them, no one will know how the game works.

    When Is a RPG "Complete" From a Publishing Perspective?

    Basically, once an rpg has released the core rules, enough setting books to cover their setting in detail with mechanics to go with it, and enough rules supplements to expand on the core rules, it's complete and ready for the next edition which has enough small changes to make people think they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Quick way to fix class balance if you don't use the assumed adventuring day

    Probably easier to go the BG3 route and just say that you have 2 short rests per day and it doesn't take any real time to do.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    Does that count as power gaming? All it does is make someone really good at arcana, it's not a skill which will break the game.

    Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies | Official Trailer

    I loved the ending. The whole thing showed scarlet witch to be a bad guy, she finally wins and it turns out she was right, she could fix the world, except she didn't. It was all an illusion and Kamela's friend is there trying to snap her out of it. A great ending that can either continue the...

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    Weirdly, what you thought it said seems to make more sense considering the show.

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    Yeah, I must be thinking of the proficiency bonus bit you've mentioned, been a while since I read it so it's just a vague memory floating about in my head, one of those "That sounds wrong, but I can't quite recall why".

    D&D General Does Cleric/Druid get 2x wis bonus to Arcana checks?

    I'd thought I'd read something that said you could add an ability modifier only once, but since I can't say for certain I'm remembering that correctly, I'm going with yes.

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    Sooo, has @MichaelSomething account been hacked or is this how they normally post? As is, in 20 years I'll probably be dead or senile, not sure I'll care what's happening to DnD.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    Hard to choose between BECMI and 2e, probably lean to 2e DnD, then SWADE, and maybe transformers.

    D&D General Should you Multiclass?

    The answer is no, but also yes. Most of the time I think sticking with single class works best but sometimes adding a second class can help realise a character concept. I ran a half orc wizard who had 1 level of barbarian to account for his upbringi g, worked out to be quite fun being able to...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I forgot the watcher was originally involved, I did wonder if the ultimate nullifier would make an appearance though. I also found it to be an enjoyable movie, one of the better of the recent marvel movies.

    WotC D&D Universes Beyond

    Might be cool to see the Masters of the Universe translated to DnD, though I wonder if that would instead be given to Renegade games to make a setting.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    One thing I thought about ages ago but never implemented was having spell slots level up. Meaning at a certain level, all of your 1st-level spell slots become 2nd level spell slots and some level after that, they become 3rd-level spell slots so that at caster level 11 (as an example) you might...

    Would you purchase an expansion, from a different system than you use, to adapt for your preferred system? If yes why?

    I've bought some PDFs of old thunder rift modules that I had when I first started playing that I knew full well that I'd never run in BECMI. Adapted them to 5e and ran them for my friends during the dark times of 2020-2022.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    We used the bonus action potion fairly early on. In regard to healing potions, it was a bonus action to drink it yourself, an action to give it to a downed comrade. In another campaign, not sure if this was a house rule or one picked up from 5.5 or another game, but if you drank a healing...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Great Wizard Extinction.

    It's been a while since I wrote the fireball analysis (and I didn't have the math know-how to get the exact odds), but I think the ogre in 2e had a saving throw of 16 which would make it a 25% chance to save, still close to the final result but a little closer to that coin flip.
