Not for nothing, but if guns are in the PHB I wouldn't be surprised if 5.5e's Eberron includes guns- Eberron's philosophy has always been "if it exists in D&D, it exists in Eberron". They had to find a place for dragonborn and tieflings in eberron when they were included in the 4e PHB, they'll...

I had great fun with a shardmind that used warforged components in 4e because they were both technically "living constructs"

Some thoughts as an artificer main; 1) Still really fuckin mad that they gave us true strike but took away guns. At the very least, artillerists should also get firearm proficiency at third level. With guns in the PHB, why not? 2) This "cartographer" feels more like a explorer that happens to...

Barba non facit philosophum

Descartes was a schlubby French nerd and his rationalism has led the western world for 400 years.

I have a background in philosophy, literary studies and art criticism. I firmly believe games are art, tabletop games are art and D&D is art. There is the notion of a separation of "high" and "low" art- contrast the images we associate with "opera" to what we associate with "folk songs." High...

Wealth to XP is fun in Dark Souls and I don't quite understand why it was dropped from older editions, but I admittedly have never played full campaigns in them. Being able to destroy or jeopardize the player's treasure or have puzzles with getting their gains back home or somewhere they can...

"Silent but deadly"?

Also in all seriousness; I gotta have ma asafoetida

I can't run my game without my "sacred herb" and you better believe it grows abundantly in my magical realm

It means "quintessential D&D"; you have enough resources that the DM can throw lots of problems at you but not so many resources that every problem is assumed to be solved in favor of the players. In 5e, I'd say 5-12. Once you get to around level 13, the difficult of the game stops becoming...

"THIQ", pronounced "theek", an initialism standing for "the individuals in question"

Iirc Neil Newbon was the only member of the main BG3 cast who was familiar with d&d 5e but I imagine their agents are really encouraging the rest to learn since they keep getting invited to play the game.

We're done with character art diversity. The only characters allowed to be depicted are muscular, large-breasted women who are at least six feet tall. Even the halflings. Especially the halflings.

The Gonadic Deva was added in the book of erotic fantasy, no?

Am I the only one that's bugged the three core angels are "deva, planetar and solar" when it could've been "stellar, planetar and solar", keeping with the theme of "heavenly bodies", and the fact that the deva used to be known as the "astral deva", "astral" meaning "pertaining to stars."

"Corporations are people, my friend."

I hope the success of Caves of Qud makes WotC revisit gamma world.

DungeonMaster and DeMiurge kinda sound similar

I think you and I are broadly of the same mind. Maybe like 50% of the book is kingdom rules, 40% of the book is updated Cerilia and then 10% of the remainder is suggesting ways and plots to work the rules into other settings ("You could be starting a colony in Q'barra", "You have inherited...
