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

    Don’t worry, the gerbil is a stoner monk and could kick your ass despite its lack of artistic ability.

    D&D General Circle Magic Concerns In "Heroes Of Faerun"

    It purports to advise the DM. It's an illusion of progress. The characters will level up, come what may. And the monsters will get tougher to compensate, come what may. The PCs have to level up at the end of Chapter 1, because otherwise Chapter 2 will be too difficult.

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

    I favour acrylics, but that's because I haven't got space to keep an oil painting set up whilst I work on it. You can also use the same paints to paint minis!

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

    Oils require a lot more time and space. You are talking about weeks vs an afternoon. But they are far more forgiving than acrylics or water colours. It's easy to fix mistakes or change something that isn't working. I hate water colour, it is really really hard!

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

    It's perfectly simple. FR has a ridiculous number of sentient species, and more are added every time some supplement or monster manual is published. If they all came from other worlds there would be twenty spaceships landing every minute.

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

    I’ve never heard anyone complain the high level adventures are too difficult! I usually subtract at least one from the level WotC suggest for anything over 9.

    D&D General Circle Magic Concerns In "Heroes Of Faerun"

    XP rules have always been hand waved for combat as well as non-combat encounters. Different tables play D&D with different emphasis, and XP is awarded to reward the activates the table wants to encourage, in a quantity to match the desired rate of levelling. Ergo Gygax awarded XP for killing...

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
