Also: The Alexandrian's review of Rime of the Frost Maiden points out that the campaign isn't a sandbox, but probably should have been--and perhaps could be made to be so.

The best sandbox is the Daggerford maps that were commissioned for the 2014 DMG but never published: https://prints.mikeschley.com/p52230723/e400a3be https://prints.mikeschley.com/p858006957/e27b48d70 https://prints.mikeschley.com/p858006957/e31cf670d Supplemented nicely by the Next playtest...

Not sure what session it is in our Twilight: 2000 campaign. A lot has happened. And as a player I've been in and out. To summarize, our group got pressganged by a rogue unit of American soldiers. They had occupied a prison and allied with a cult of religious prisoners. They were in the process...

For the Wizard, these playtest features -- Modify Spell, Create Spell, and Memorize Spell -- seem like they could be the basis for a good subclass. Something like what the Order of Scribes should have been.

Seems like the final class design is coming into focus... Martials got a significant overhaul. Spellcasters went through big changes only to end up where they started. I'm sad that some of the boldest ideas ended up on the cutting room floor, but 2024 looks like a good iteration of the game.

52nd and 53rd sessions of my Neverwinter/Sword Coast campaign. Drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin. They reached 10th level over the course of the sessions. The characters have multiple leads into the schemes of an array of villains. They are making plans to...

Agreed. I have started two longterm campaigns in Phandalin and eventually regretted it both times. So, so dull.

It's kind of like voting for President. I'm glad we get to vote. I don't always like who is elected.

Bummed yet again at all the cool ideas being left on the cutting room floor thanks to community feedback.

54th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 11th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. In this episode, the players (and their characters) made their battle plan for the climactic fight...

Player in Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. Our team: 26 year old American spy with a history of criminality 56 year old Polish truck driver who spent 30 years in prison 33 year old American special forces NCO who is career military Not-sure-how-old American who has done literally...

51st session of my Neverwinter/Sword Coast campaign. Drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin at 9th level. This session, I did something experimental. I had them find a villain's journal that spelled out all the schemes of the characters' foes. Not just for this one...

53rd session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 10th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. Transitional episode. The characters gathered at the home of a noble ally. This noble and several...

I use a 5 minute short rest. Helps bring the warlock and other short rest classes up to par. Have not seen any negative impacts.

52nd session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 10th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. We opened in the middle of a fight. Actually, at the end of a fight. The players had set an ambush...

I've missed several sessions of the Free League's Twilight: 2000 campaign. In the interest of brevity, I'll summarize what has happened. Previously, we ambushed a Soviet checkpoint. After wiping out the soldiers, we investigated a car they had shot up. Inside that car was a dying American spy...

Haven't read through all the comments, but my first thought is monks should be able to add any Weapon Mastery property to their unarmed attacks with 1 discipline point. Effectively, they know ALL the Weapon Masteries--but at a cost. Obviously the amount of discipline points they have would need...

My daughter's kindergarten class had an outbreak last month.

I dig most of the "radical new ideas" and am pretty disappointed to hear this news.
