    D&D 5E (2014) 2024 Monster Manual has better lore than 2014 Monster Manual

    The book does a good job of emphasising the lore in the art to make it more memorable. For example, the art for the Peryton shows it’s human shaped shadow. Something I’d forgotten from past editions. I only picked up the book recently as it finally shipped to Australia. I’m really enjoying...

    Must You Tell Your Players What Adventure You Are Running?

    I prefer that the DM tell the players, if only so that they can make appropriate characters for the setting/adventure. Not telling the players runs the risk that you'll end up using an adventure that someone has already played.

    D&D General Why did you have to cancel/reschedule your most recent session?

    So far this year we’ve had players get sick, the DM’s had to work late, and then this week I couldn’t make it because I had tickets to see PJ Harvey at the Opera House.

    D&D General Languages suck in D&D.

    I'm not sure that replacing Language by Species with Language by region really fixes the issues people seem to be complaining about in this thread. It might make things more realistic but doesn't add any improvements in gameplay beyond that.

    Gargoyles are generally depicted to look like demons, though.

    For those that have made their own languages for their homebrew setting, how many languages does your world have?

    D&D 5E (2024) Where to next, WotC?

    I forgot about that, I didn't pick up Infinite Staircase so that one of my DM's has more options for adventures that I won't have read.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    I think Fiends are one of those areas where lore (or too much of it) can be detrimental. Like horror movies that lose the fear factor once things are explained. For my own homebrew, there isn't a lot of known lore for fiends. Demons spread misinformation, so, anything you think you know about...

    I didn't say I object, I said I'm not sure how I feel about it. I also said I thought his performance was the best of the nominations I'd seen.

    Not to kink shame anyone, but how frequently are snake boobs and demon sex coming up in your games for either of these things to be an issue?

    I saw 7 out of the 10 best picture noms this year. I thought It was a pretty good year for film. Very happy to see Anora do well, Sean Baker has been making interesting films for a while now. And now he's become the first person to win 4 Oscars for the same film in one night. I'm still not...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Marilith Is Far More Bestial In 2025

    I’ve always liked a variety of artistic interpretations for each monster. It's just more inspiring. Sometimes two different versions of a monster can create a story in itself. As someone else mentioned, you can use the new version as a final form. Having chaotic demons with lots of mutations...
