    D&D 5E (2014) Next campaign choice

    I have run Curse of Strahd and Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden twice each, and highly recommend both. Curse of Strahd works better "out of the box" and has no real plot holes. Frostmaiden's overarching plot is a bit of a mess but it has so many great locations, characters, and ideas and...

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    Not saying that you're wrong, but there is zero chance that Cocks in that NPR interview would have admitted any damage from OGLGate, regardless of whether there was any or not.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    OGLGate was actually a huge deal and became a PR nightmare for WotC; in January 2023 it was so bad that they had to go completely silent for weeks on all media channels when they should have been promoting the Dragonlance book, Keys from the Golden Vault, and the movie. If the outcry wasn't so...

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    What do you mean by the "loss" of those companies? You can now buy Kobold Press products on DNDBeyond. That's how far they're running away from WotC.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    It could be. It's certainly a shot you might call if you were a more or less total outsider with a background in protecting corporate IP, and no real knowledge or understanding of how and why D&D didn't die in 1998-2000 and eventually flourished into the renaissance years of 5E.

    That was Ray Winninger.

    D&D 5E (2014) Vecna: Eve of Ruin Trailer Stars Baldur's Gate's Astarion Actor

    They’ve pitch-shifted his voice to make it lower.

    D&D 5E (2014) Vecna: Eve of Ruin Trailer Stars Baldur's Gate's Astarion Actor

    Animation is cool, voice acting is cool, dialogue is basically one cliche after another strung together.

    WotC Vecna: Nest of the Evil Eye--Deets On The Prequel Adventure

    Their suggestion is more like playing the prelude, then doing a “one year later” time jump and advancing the characters to level 10, with the players and DM narrating the intervening period as a sort of montage.

    WotC Vecna: Nest of the Evil Eye--Deets On The Prequel Adventure

    Really good level 3 dungeon! Nice variety of encounters and a couple of new spins on skill mechanics in places. Feels a little on the easy side for level 3 maybe. Also, I don’t see many groups finishing this in 2-3 hours as advertised; feels more like 4 hours to me. Maps are great.

    WotC Vecna: Nest of the Evil Eye--Deets On The Prequel Adventure

    Yes, if you pre-ordered the main adventure. WotC is on West Coast U.S. time, so likely not for a few more hours.

    Trailer Fallout - Official Trailer

    Binged the first 3 episodes last night. No spoilers. I like it but don't love it. The production design (and production value) is incredible. The performances are uniformly excellent. The writing and directing is shaky, I think. The games are violent, but rarely sadistic, which the show...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help With Githyanki Adventure Idea

    Have you checked out Rrakkma, the githzerai/githyanki adventure WotC released digitally when Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes came out? P sure you can still get it as a PDF on DMsGuild.

    D&D General D&D Live Play Dimension 20 At Madison Square Garden

    Hasbro never claimed there are currently 50 million D&D players worldwide. They claimed that an estimated 50 million people have played D&D since the game was created 50 years ago, which is obviously a very different claim. The audience for actual play D&D is enormous, which is self-evident to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Descent Into The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth Is The First Of Several Single Session D&D Events

    Without spoiling anything, I'll say that the tournament scoring included with Tsojcanth (while very fun) has very little to do with tactical decisions!
