I am 100% confident that WotC is not going to put a genocide or ethnic cleansing in their books. If they do not end up with their own country or a minority of Unther, there'll probably be some large dragonborn diaspora which explains why we've seen art of Cormyryian Dragonborn PDKs.

Dark Sun descends most directly from the "Dying Earth" subgenre of postapocalyptic fantasy popularized and named after the series by Jack Vance; it's where we get the term "Vancian magic" from to refer to D&D's style of spellcasting. There's not that much dying Earth fantasy out there aside from...

Does it bother anyone else that the metamorph's bone blade isn't light so they can't TWF? Whenever I think of characters in fiction who shapeshift their limbs into weapons like Carnage from Spider-Man, they frequently change both hands and engage in "two weapon fighting", and I'm kinda miffed...

They got plenty of attention in SCAG and there's art of Dragonborn all over this book. The Brimstone Angels series ended with a returned Enlil considering Dragonborn "his" chosen people, I wouldn't be surprised if Tymanther and Unther merged and the Dragonborn just make up a significant minority...

At this point I'm less surprised when a D&D game actually launches. Prior to August 2023 I was entirely ready for BG3 to be canceled with only the Early Access to show for it.

I actually love Dragon's Milk and would love that dice tower but $109 for it is steep. I don't suppose I can get a discount if I turn in a bunch of empty cans or bottlecaps?

Yeah, this alone is why I'm in favor of psionics as spells. I can barely remember the rules for magic, combat, skill checks and whatever macro and micro scale lore is going on in my campaign at any moment; should I really be memorizing an entire parallel rule system for the benefit of one...

Entry #1 on the mixtape:

FR has enough fans to justify two books, and it was the setting of a smash hit video game and we'll regarded film, I sincerely doubt enough people remember Dark Sun to buy two books on it, and the setting is a bit less attractive to newcomers than FR.

True strike required a weapon with a cost. Unless you can argue "my body costs 500 gp because that's how much it takes to resurrect me", your organic weapons have no cost. Otherwise you could true strike with an unarmed strike.

Maybe I'm just not evaluating the class properly, but the metamorph still seems bad? There's nothing to shore up its AC without also spending a psionic die, and despite being the melee fighting class who can cast a cantrip with an attack at level 5, they cannot use true strike with their...

This is like the FOURTH time I've edited this post but after looking over the new PDF; this is the updated psion, new as of 10/2 https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/ua/psion-update/kZh2hf4yC7KS45wW/UA2025-Psion+Update.pdf

If we're not talking licensed stuff (I firmly believe that all three Baldurs Gate games and the D&D movie are some of the best, most consistent fantasy tie-in fiction ever made), but I've always been somewhat fond of its attempts to flesh out its less western European inspired sub-settings. so...

I may be wrong, but it seems like the "Arcane Empires" cuts off part of Mulhorand, which makes me think the Imaskari may have held on to some of their territory, and/or are claiming some parts of the Plains of Purple Dust or old Raurin deserts.

Rather than needing someone to say where they grew up, how about you analyze the content of their message and determine its veracity based on that?

Thay is definitely the archetypal "arcane empire" in the region, Aglarond and Rashemen definitely have the "arcane" part what with being ruled by powerful female magic users, even if they're not quite "imperial." However, bear in mind that in 4e High Imaskar also popped up in that area, and...

I would not call the release schedule of 5e2024 "regular". We even had a very high profile last minute delay of an entire book that should have been out by now. We've had one adventure supplement published for this ruleset so far, and it's an adventure anthology, which, anecdotally, was not...

This title made me taste pennies and smell toast Edit: Is Bleem like Gleemax?
