    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    It's kind of a case-by-case thing, isn't it? One thing I'd love to see: Two entries with the same ingredients where one is a zany romp and the other a dark horror or noir mystery!

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    Yup. That was the biggest reason for compatibility.

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    In 3e you'd have a stack of them alright.

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    I know that I enjoy writing more when the internal author is a character in themselves. I could see that happening here.

    IRON DM 2025 Tournament Thread

    That was an exciting round! Thanks to everyone involved for their efforts. It's all more work than it appears from the sidelines. I'm looking forward to the final round!

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    My notes, for my store, have the PHB outselling the other two core books (which are roughly equivalent) by between double and two-and-a-half, for the last four revisions. (I no longer have files from before that). This is for lifetime sales. Near release, they are closer to equivalent than...

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    Oh, yeah. Wasn't that previously true?

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    Sure they can. You'd just see invisible things AND the aura of magic (presumably including the illusion that caused the invisibility).

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    Why not? It's a higher level spell that still won't be as useful as detect magic is.

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    I think we can conclude that the initial print runs, which they said were so large that they couldn't print all 3 books at once (which lead to MM24 coming out in 2025), consisted of more copies than existed of the same 2014 books until 2016. And I can attest that they did NOT meet initial...

    I made a terrible life decision…

    You're a monster!

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

    That does a bit explain my position on it. As I am part of "the system", I can only really see the current D&D as being particularly important.if it is out of print, it might as well be Dead to Me. (Barring the occasional collection that comes in, but a "collectable" is a different thing than a...

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

    Interestingly (to me, at least) after making the statement (a few posts back now) that I have never heard anyone say "Five-five" (nor previously "Three-Five") but always with an obvious stress on the word "point", I just listened to a podcast where someone (it was either Mikes Mearls or Shea...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Bjorn's frog-tongue would work just as well as an octopus tentacle. But he can stick back and observe, too. BTW, everyone in Team Fusion should post for me an updated Status Line after a Short Rest, which you will all get.

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

    I've never heard anyone say "five-five." The accent has been on the word "point" ever since "three-POINT-five". If anyone was really concerned with syllable-count, you'd think we'd get more on board with simply calling it "New" D&D.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Yeah. But I imagine that Team Infiltrate doesn't want to be subsumed and seem like the "lesser" of the two. Team Fusion might be best.

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

    Yeah, everyone I talk to in real life (and remember, I own a game store, so I'm talking about even there) just calls it D&D. Sometimes, "the new books". I've certainly heard it be called "Five Point Five" aloud by a walk-in or two, but the speaker is clearly the kind of person who hangs out...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lakefiltrate Terrin lifted the stone into place and used his magical training to mend it into its spot. Not only did he recognize the symbols that glowed on its newly-reformed surface, but he was shown a vision. In his minds eye, he stood on a great height - a flying platform made of...

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

    I feel ya. I don't actually find that. You can skip the 5e, or the 20, and call it 2024 or 5e24. I don't know how those are harder than 5.5, really. Inertia I understand (it's what I've been pointing out as the likely "real" answer as to why the term is advocated for.) Consistency, I don't...
