5E is great. My favorite edition of the game. But it still has a lot of stuff that annoys the hell out of me. My wish list is basically 5E but with some changes along the following lines... Move more of the power budget away from classes into subclasses. That will make subclasses choice have a...

GAMMA WORLD

Gladiator looks fun and flavorful. I don't care particularly if it's exactly as powerful as Battlemaster or any other subclass. Close enough is good enough.

I'm not caught up on this whole thread, so perhaps someone else has already noted this... The 2025 FR books will contain stat blocks for evil humanoids. For example, there will be "Drow of Lolth" who are the evil dark elves we all know and love.

I like these subclasses! Sorcerer and Fighter are standouts to me. Druid might be a little underpowered, but I'm not worried about that class being too weak. I can't quite judge the power level of the Warlock...but it feels undertuned.

Darrington Press: Hires Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford to lead Daggerheart. CR Fans: You have a lack of confidence in Daggerheart! Chris and Jeremy: sad faces

To my surprise, I am genuinely excited for Campaign 4. It's a big, bold change. I applaud CR's willingness to try new things and I'm looking forward to watching it unfold.

Critical Role isn't in the business of RPGs. They are in the business of Critical Role. Publishing games is one (small) part of what they do.

The D&D vs Daggerheart narrative is tired. Maybe this gives an excuse to drop it for a while?

This. I ran Dragon of Icespire Peak and liked it at the time. In retrospect, I just liked expanding the sandbox around Phandalin. A hardcover that folded together the Starter Set and the Essentials Kit adventures, as well as logically expanding the story, would have hit the sweet spot. Who...

Reading Tondro's substack...he seems like a cool guy. Book of Many Things is a gem, weird and wonderful, one of the best things published for 5E. I'm now more excited for these two FR books and hope they are as inspired as BoMT.

I got a little snarky earlier. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to criticize or attack anyone here.

Maybe I'm weird but...I LIKE changing things. I NEVER run an adventure or setting as written. I ALWAYS tweak it. Specific to the Forgotten Realms...I think there is a LOT of bad lore and content in the Realms. TONS. Going all the way to 1E. But there are also a lot of gems. So I remove what...

I enjoy doing that.

If you don't like something in the books you can just, you know, change it. Because that's what Dungeon Masters do.

I don't get it. These two books have the greatest page count of any Forgotten Realms campaign setting in at least 20 years. Or maybe ever. Controversial changes to the Realms (from, like, 2008) have been rolled back in favor of a more "evergreen" approach. If you don't like something in the...

I own Return to the Keep on the Borderlands but have not run it either. I don't think it was much of an improvement on the original. Conceptually, I really like the elegance of KotB but in execution I have a lot of problems with it. Many of the same problems others have noted here. Plus, you...

This is a smart move. Fresh blood and all that. I might even give it a listen. (Yeah, I'm still somewhere around episode 60 of season 1.)

TOUCHE

Odd timing. I literally just bought the hardcover. Thinking of using it for a campaign next year. Not a perfect campaign, but has many strong parts. Excited that it will be available on Beyond.
