    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    That's what I was thinking, perhaps with a return to Mordentshire, but not focused on a body switching Jekyll and Hyde machine. Although you could suggest the device where players switch between a character in the new adventure and a character in CoS whenever they take a long rest as an option...

    Critical Role Tell me the selling points of Tal'Dorei / Wildemount, without mentioning Critical Role, Matt Mercer, etc.

    They caught on because they were first, not because they were good. Greyhawk was a terrible pile of steaming garbage compared to modern settings - but that’s because a huge amount has been learned about building worlds for D&D since it was published.

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    Most of my paintings look off (for the record, I am not AI). It’s becoming increasingly common to blame bad art on AI, when humans are perfectly capable of making bad art without using a computer.

    Trailer Scream 7

    The Scream series is all about tropes established in Halloween and the like. Which means a Ghostface is going to want to pull off the get back up after being shot trope. They could use animatronics or some such contrivance.

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    11: Fire and Darkness. Missing: Infinite Staircase, which goes up to 11 (Barrier Peaks).

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    Nope, the highest level adventure is 14 (and stupidly easy at that level).

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    The anthologies go up to around level 11.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Warrior of feigned inebriation.

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    It’s got a lot more adventures over a wider level range than most other setting books.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    It’s not the fist that is staggering, it’s the monk’s movements.

    In order: Alustriel‘s Cabinet of Curiosities (supplement) Curse of Gryphon Hill (adventure, CoS sequel) Dark Sun Campaign Setting (boxed set)

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    The “horror class” thing is obviously a red herring. Doesn’t mean there won’t be anything Ravenloft, but it’s not going to be a collection of subclasses, that’s the book these are for. An adventure, presented as a sequel to CoS, is quite likely. There is obviously going to be an adventure of...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    One note of caution: the inclusion of a jester class historically was taken by some players as license to behave disruptively.

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    Both. It’s objectively not AI, but “slop” is subjective.

    Yeah, I was toying with Acrobat, but Staggering works better .

    Nor outheal a cleric or druid. Nor outsupport a bard. Nor do anything well at all.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    I never read any Greyhawk novels, but I read plenty of American authors and don’t notice much difference with British ones, unless it’s set in Stephen King-ville or set in Britain and gets something wrong. I’m currently reading The Masques of Spring, British author, 1920s New York setting. And...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    Never really paid much attention to Greyhawk, I had the folio WoG, which was very wargamerist, and I didn't think much of it. But I don't think Ed ever mentions accents, and the most Canadian thing in FR is the inclusion of maple syrup on the import/export tables. HAT was about 60/40...

    Plus all their spell slots that could be used for healing. Sure, trying to turn a martial character into a healer isn’t an optimal way to play. And that definitely applies to Banneret too.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

    Adventurers aren’t writing the history or geography books. Doesn’t mean that every one of the several hundred sentient species on Faerun is represented in every neighbourhood, no matter how cosmopolitan it is. It’s only the professional adventurers who are likely to know more than a couple, and...
